“Wasn’t that door locked?” I ask, and Nash shrugs.

“Yep,” he says simply as he stares down at me.

“Who’s Amy?” I ask, looking around Nash at Holden, who’s just standing there, still facing the door.

“His ex. She’s unhinged,” Nash sighs, and I frown.

“Is she actually crazy, or did my stepbrother do something to maybe make her go a bit crazy?” I ask, lifting my brow.

“At first, no. Holden didn’t do anything to deserve her wrath. Then, when he tried breaking things off, she just got worse. She brought him a fucking hamster once. Said it would be a symbol of their long-lasting love,” Nash scoffs.

“Oh, no,” I whisper. “Please tell me she didn’t hurt it…”

“She didn’t. We gave it to Sadie that fucking night. She’s still got the wild little thing. If we hadn’t, there’s no telling what she might have done, though,” Nash sighs.

“So she was already crazy by the time Holden met her?” I ask.

“As far as I can tell.”

“How do I get out of here unseen?” Holden asks suddenly.

“Could have Rome distract her,” Nash offers, still looking at me. I move around him, so I can stand, but he just steps in my way again.

“You good?” I grumble, making him smirk.

“Could be better.”

“Holden!” Someone shouts in the hall, then the door flies open. Before I can react, Nash has his hands in my hair and his mouth pressed against my neck.

“Holden! Oh…” the feminine voice yelps, I assume when she sees Nash and me.

“Nash, what the fuck!” Holden suddenly shouts as Nash is ripped away from me. I gasp, taken aback by the heat of the way Nash ravished my skin. I’m panting after just a brief moment. “My stepsister?!”

“Oh, my…” the woman says as I look up and see a gorgeous vision wearing a Playboy Bunny costume. Oh, come on, she’s stunning!

“Shit, man, my bad…had so much to d-drink…” Nash hiccups, and I can’t help but narrow my eyes at the man who seemed perfectly sober just a moment ago.

“What’s going on?” I mumble, feeling wildly off balance.

“Get out of here, Rose. You too, asshole,” Holden says to me and then Nash. “Fuck, Amy, how long have you been standing there?” Holden asks as the stunning blonde woman clutches a hand to her neck like she's holding onto pearls.

“Oh, Holden, I’ve been looking for you everywhere!” she says in a sweet-as-pie voice.

As Nash makes his fumbled exit, I follow after him quickly. I don’t feel comfortable leaving Holden with Amy, but I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to do.

“So are we just going to leave him up there with her?” I ask Nash as I chase after him down the stairs.

“No. I’m going to grab Rome and Fallon. They’ll distract her, and we’ll get him out of here. Party’s over, though. Go find Ren, tell him atomic Amy crashed, and we have to go,” Nash commands, making me sigh.

Things took a turn tonight that I wasn’t expecting.

And, I’m still so turned on with no relief in sight.
