I liked Cole.
A lot.
Apart from the Colonel, no one had ever said they would protect me. No one had ever made me feel safe. I could see a lot of my dad in Cole. They were both raised by the military and were good at following orders. And if they were as alike as I thought, Cole would never touch me. Not in the way I wanted him to.

After changing out of my bathing suit and showering, I searched for Cole. He was supposed to stop by my room but still hadn’t shown up. We were going to dinner at a cafe in town.
Cole’s bedroom door was half open, so I stepped inside. His bed was made, every inch of the space clean and decluttered. He’d grown up at York Military Academy, and it showed.
A laptop and a computer monitor sat on his desk beside a stack of books. I halted by the bathroom door, which was open, steam billowing out from the room. From behind the glass shower, I spotted Cole with his hand on the wall, the other wrapped around his dick.
Oh my God.
Cole’s body was a work of art sculpted to perfection. Water ran down his forehead, dotting the rugged ridges of his eight-pack. But that wasn’t what I focused on most.
He jerked his shaft hard, eyes closed, and grunted. As if he could read my thoughts, his eyes snapped open. He didn’t look away, and neither did I. To my surprise, Cole continued to jerk off, staring at me as if I were the object of his obsession.
My skin pebbled with tiny bumps of arousal. A deep ache settled into my core. Transfixed by Cole and the sounds he made, I bit my lip, wondering if he was getting off to me.
“I’m so sorry,” I muttered after my brain started working again.
I could have sworn Cole said, “I’m not,” as I shut the door.
ChapterFour
COLE
Iwas about to come when I caught a whiff ofhersweet perfume. My eyes snapped open to Grace standing in the entryway to the bathroom as if I had manifested her.
I should have stopped jerking off or at least asked her to leave so that I could finish. But after weeks of staring at her killer body in those tiny bikinis, I needed a release.
I neededher.
And since I couldn’t have her, I had to settle for the next best thing. Her grandfather would destroy my family if I touched a single hair on her head. The Knights were threatened and forced to swear an oath to The Founders Society.
It was our job to ensure her safety, not fuck her. Not think about her every waking moment. I knew it was wrong to want anything from Grace. The strange emotions I felt for her would eventually pass.
Through the glass, I watched Grace lick her lips. She was just as interested in me as I was in her. Her nipples were so hard they poked through her dress. Even her tanned skin had little bumps from her arousal.
As steam billowed out from the room, it clouded around her. I pretended she was a mirage, something I conjured to help me come faster.
With my hand on the wall, I stroked myself with the other, keeping my movements quick and precise. Everything was about efficiency for me. I said I would come to her room at five, but she was early.
Her eyes wandered up and down my body with desire. She often turned her head whenever we got too close. But within the confines of my bedroom, no one could see us. With each tug on my cock, I raced to the finish line, imagining I was coming inside the girl of my literal dreams. I thought about her each night, wishing I could have one taste.
Just once.
But I needed order and control, two things I wouldn’t have if I crossed the line with Fitzy’s granddaughter.
I was so close, seconds from coming, when Grace said, “I’m so sorry.”
“I’m not,” I grunted as she ran out of the room, coming into my hand seconds later.
This was bad.
A girl like Grace was probably already promised to another man. Her grandfather likely had someone in mind for her to marry. My dad had been toying with a few options for me, but I told him to get lost. Unless it was essential, I didn’t want to get married until I was closer to thirty.
