“I went to Sanctum tonight,” I admitted, trying to suss out how much I wanted to share. “Rook was fighting there, in the basement.”

“I’ve heard of that place,” Becca mused. “I think my dad actually went there once for a match, before the Saints started buying up all the properties in Thorn Valley and pushed him out further South.”

She snuffed out her joint and tucked her legs up under her on the sofa, getting comfortable. “If Rook was the one fighting, why doyoulook like shit?”

“Thanks,” I scoffed, bringing two fingers up to pinch the bridge of my nose. There was a nasty headache forming behind my eyes, and it was just adding insult to injury. “I fought, too,” I told her. “Afterward. With Rook. In the street.”

“What?” she gushed, leaning in. When I chanced a look in her direction, her brown eyes were wide with worry. “Why? Oh my god, are they coming after you?”

Becca’s gaze flicked fearfully to the door.

“No, I don’t think so.”

She cocked her head. “Okay, I don’t think I’m following. What exactly is going on?”

I met her stare, curious if she would be able to see the truth in my eyes. The one I didn’t want to admit. Not even to myself.

She gasped, her hand going to her mouth. “Shit,” she said on a breath. “You want them, don’t you? And they’ve made no secret about wanting to claim you.”

I looked away, and she stiffened next to me.

Becca blew out a breath. I couldn’t look at her as I worked my jaw, unable to confirm or deny her suspicions. I wanted to dick punch them as much as I wanted to fuck them, but that was just semantics.

“Fuck, babe. That’s…”

“Insane?”

“Hot.”

I twisted back around, my face screwing up into a scowl. “What?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know, I mean, they’re dangerous. Fucking total psychos. Criminals. But…”

“But what?”

“But they are three of the most powerful men in this city. They aredefinitelythe hottest guys in this school. Girl! You could have your own reverse harem! And Iknowyou can handle them. I mean, I’ve had some pretty vivid dreams abouthandlingthem myself.”

My stomach soured.

She laughed, oblivious to my green-eyed monster trying to lay claim to property that was definitelynothers.

She stopped laughing abruptly, her eyes gleaming. “Oh fuck! Bri would absolutelyshitif you ever fucked Grey.”

I winced.

“Oh my godyou fucked Grey?”

“A little bit.”

She shoved me, pulling a blanket into her lap to get comfortable. “Tell meeverything.”

So, I did. At least the parts I could. About my confusing split feelings and how I wasn’t sure yet if I wanted to fuck them or bury them. How I might just do both. It didn’t change anything though.

Tomorrow night when they went to meet with the Aces, I was going to be there. Iwouldbuy my freedom by whatever means necessary, whether or not I dreamed of Corvus’s hands on my body tonight. Or Grey’s cock thrusting into my pussy. Or Rook’s dark eyes, his bloodstained face. The power behind his punch.

...the moment I thought he was going to kiss me when he lifted that envelope out of my reach. How my traitorous heart nearly stopped.

None of that mattered because they made their stance clear. To them, it was either me on my knees or hell on earth at Briar Hall. That shit wasn’t going to fly. Not as long as I was still breathing.
