“I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life.”

Ryker, who is very much in love and planning a wedding with his fiancé, says, “I’m in full support of you eliminating this asshole from her life.”

Luca chimes in next. “Hell, yeah. Teach that asshole you don’t mess with you or your woman.”

“Sure you don’t wanna kill that motherfucker?” Zayne asks. He yells ouch before gripping, “You don’t have to punch me, jackass. I’m just sayin. It will permanently eliminate his problem.”

“Not everything needs to result in murder, Zayne.” Jaxson’s voice is full of irritation. “I like Evan’s plan. This is gonna fucking destroy that asshole’s future. Evan’s taking away the one thing he loves.” Jaxson’s voice is louder as he speaks directly into the phone. “Don’t listen to Zayne. Your plan is perfect.”

“Thanks, guys. I appreciate everything.”

“Always, Evan. You know we’re here when you need us,” Jaxson, the group's unofficial leader, says.

After ending the call, I grab my wallet and keys, and stand. I’m worn out from the events of the past few days and in desperate need of coffee before my class tonight.

As I lock my office door, my phone beeps from a text.

Bellissima: I miss you. Can’t wait to see you tonight.

Me: I miss you, too, mi amore. I can’t wait to see you, either.

I turn around, dread filling me when I spot Jenna hurrying toward me. My brows draw in annoyance as comes closer, her short dress not leaving much to the imagination.

Releasing a frustrated breath, I open my mouth, prepared to tell her off. She shocks me when she flings herself in my arms, pressing her lips against mine before shoving her tongue inside my mouth.

What the fuck?

TOO MANY SECRETS

Alexis

Awide smile is on my face as I hurry down the hallway, excitement blooming in my chest. I’m on my way to surprise Evan by dropping by his office with a much-needed coffee.

My heart bangs against my chest at the sheer thought of seeing him again. When I think about being in his arms, pressed against his hard, muscular body while his hands glide over my curves, I become light-headed from the furious beating of the organ inside my chest. I stop, bracing one hand on the wall, taking a deep breath.

Calm down, Lexi. Don’t give yourself a heart attack before you see the man.

Once I’ve regained my composure, I push off the wall and head down the hallway. My stomach flutters in anticipation of seeing him again.

I round the corner and stop, my eyes widening in disbelief at the sight in front of me. I blink rapidly, as if that will erase the horrific image of a scantily clad Jenna with her body pressed against Evan, her mouth on his.Is her tongue inside his mouth?

My breathing is restricted, and I become light-headed as I wait for him to push her away and freak out.

One second.

Nothing.

Two seconds.

Still nothing.

Three seconds.

I can’t fucking breath.

On autopilot, I spin around, hiding behind the wall. I press my back against it, the coolness a welcome relief to my scorching skin. I’m on fire and I can’t breathe.
