Xander let out a couple of startled coughs on the other end, clearly caught off guard by my overly sweet tone."
What kind of favor?" he asked, trying to sound composed.
"DracoLux doesn't just have male models; they must have female ones too, right? Are you close to any of them?"
| asked bluntly. Now that | was sure he was Hayden, | didn't see the point in holding back.
Honestly, it was almost laughable. After all my sneaky efforts to figure out if he was Hayden, a simple plate of
meatballs had been the thing to out him.
"What are you planning to do?" he asked, still keeping up his act.
| couldn't tell if the meatballs were his way of dropping a hint, but since he was so committed to the undercover
bit, | decided to roll with it. "Oh, nothing big. I just want to try something new-see what it's like to be a female
model there." "What?" His voice cracked, loaded with disbelief.
"| want to be a female model in DracoLux," | repeated, biting back a laugh. "I figured you could helpget in."
"That's not happening," he said immediately.
Feigning innocence, | asked, "Why not? What, am | not pretty enough? Is my figure not good enough?"
"It's neither of those," he said, his tone suddenly serious-so Hayden. "It's just not a place for you."
"Why not? You're working there, aren't you?" | shot back on purpose.
The line went quiet for a few seconds before he finally said, "I won't let you go there. And | won't refer you."
Now that's the Hayden | know.

Xander-the perfect target for a little teasing.
"Fine, then. I'll figure it out myself," | said, acting like | was about to hang up. Before | could, though, he cut in.
"What do you want to do? Just say it, and I'll help you," he said, clearly catching on to my intentions.
| tapped my nails on the desk, keeping my voice playful. "I really do just want to experience the life of a ‘female
model’ in a nightclub."
He didn't answer right away, so | threw in a tic sigh. "Why is it that men can 'experience' whatever they
want, but we women can't?"
His tone dropped, serious and angry. "Do you even know what the female models at DracoLux actually do? Do
you understand how hard it is to get out once you're in?"
His words hit like a bucket of ice water. My chest tightened as his anger sank in. Demi hadn't been lying-Cole
had. DracoLux wasn't sharmless "entertainment only" spot like he'd tried to sell me.
| thought about Hayden-no, Xander-spending months at that place. Before | could stop myself, | blurted, "And
you? How many women have you... slept with?"
The silence that followed was suffocating. My thoughts started spiraling. "Why aren't you answering? Is it
because there were none? Or because you've lost count?"
"None," he said.

Loyalty-especially when it cto the body-wasn't something anyone could just brush off, no matter who they
were.
But this wasn't the tto press him on it, so | let it slide and threw his words back at him instead. "If you can
stay clean in a place like that, then so can I."
He exhaled heavily on the other end. "You're really set on this?"

"You won't get in," Xander replied, his voice dropping. "Not while Cole and Wayne are keeping you under their
protection. You're their golden girl."
