“My father is a piece of shit who bled as much as he could from Kennedy and my mother, and offered very little in return. He spent his time pushing his responsibilities onto others and using the time when he could be bettering Kennedy to line his pockets and play golf with his friends. That’s when he wasn’t fucking his floozies behind my mother’s back.”

I could sense the hatred rolling off him like a physical being, ugly and putrid. “You hate him.”

“I’m ashamed to admit it but yes. I loathe the man and if I could have one wish it would be that he wasn’t my sperm donor. He’s like a cancer to everything he touches.”

His words only make it that much harder for me, even though I wholeheartedly agreed. But knowing how much he loves Kennedy and what it would do to him to step away or have his father back at the helm kills me, because I know I have to find another way through this nightmare that won’t impact him or Heather.

“Tell me about Club Ruin. If you love Kennedy, why did you start the Club?”

“Ruin was my salvation through a dark period in my life. We all went to college together, except Audrey and she was my best friend outside of Beck, Harry, and Ryker. We were just kicking around ideas that would be something for us, with no influence from our families. The kind of wealth we have can taint things and we were five people driven to succeed on our own merit.”

“I get that, nobody wants to think they’ve been handed something without work unless they’re an asshole.”

Linc kisses my head. “I’m still an asshole, Lottie.”

I hold up my hand, pinching my forefinger and thumb close. “Maybe a little.”

His chuckle warms my heart, defrosting the ice Charles had put there hours earlier with his threats.

“Why a club though, and a sex club?”

“The club was simple. We could never get in anywhere when we were younger. We were all too well known so we wanted something that was ours.”

“As soon as Harry was old enough, he got the license but by the time we opened it we were all legal age anyway, but we’d invested so much time and money and loved it. The rest is history.”

“And the top floor?”

“That was Audrey. She saw a need for it and an opportunity to make some more money. That book that came out had opened up a world to people that enjoyed kink and promoted sexual exploration to the masses as a good thing and not something to be ashamed of and she wanted to expand on that. Audrey believes we all have a kink of some kind, which doesn’t make us weird, and we should celebrate it. Celebrities and the rich and powerful can’t explore that like some can for fear of it coming out in the paper. Club Ruin allows them that freedom.”

“Do you have a kink?”

“I like to be in control. Not BDSM or anything but I like the power in my hands. I also like to explore my boundaries.”

“Have you ever had a threesome?”

“Do you really want that answer?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, and four and five.”

“All women?”

I sit up shocked as he laughs.

“And men, although I don’t get involved with the men in a sexual way.”

“Who?”

“Beck and I have shared a few times.”

“Would you share me?”

His face goes glacial. “Not a fucking chance in hell.”

I kiss him and he holds my face in his hands.

“Good. I don’t want that. I just want you.”
