“I'm going back to New York,” | announced. | couldn't wait to put an end to this unpleasant trip.
My fingers closed around my suitcase handle, but before | could lift it, his hand covered mine. “Wait.”
| shook my head and tried to pull away, but his grip on my bag tightened. “Just letgo back. I'm exhausted.”
His eyes softened. He looked at me, really looked at me, and then his shoulders sagged as he lowered his head
to the ground. “I'm sorry. | lost control. I've never... | don’t lose control, Olivia. Not with anyone.”
Any anger | felt vanished. “What are you saying?”
He looked up. “I just... | can't when I’m around you. | can’t.”
Even though he was being very vague, | understood. Or at least, | thought | did. And if my guess was right, then
things had gotten even more complicated.

caught a glimpse of a tall, lean figure standing on the balcony. When our eyes met, | saw him smile
mischievously.

The interior wasn’t anything like the exterior. Bright colors jumped out atas we walked in. All the furniture
was designed with velvet material, and there were nude art works everywhere.
But it didn’t hold a candle to the appearance of Duke Cater.
He glided down the stairs, his Hawaiian-style shirt hanging completely open to reveal a skinny chest. Snake
tattoos spiraled across his pale skin. His black hair fell over his shoulder, bouncing as he moved. The man wore
enough rings for three people. And he moved like a ballroom dancer with exaggerated movements.
“Alexander, darling!” He raised his hands, drawing my attention to the silver chains hanging across his throat. He
spoke with a thick European accent. “And you must be the famous Olivia I've heard absolutely nothing about.”
Just as his eyes began to rake over me, Alexander rushed and clamped a hand over my eyes, causing darkness
to envelope me.
“Sit.” | felt him pushinginto a chair. “Duke, put on sclothes. Now.”
| heard Duke laugh. “Oh, but darling you know | hate confining myself. Besides, it’s just us here.” | heard the
sound of his rings clinking together. “Surely, Olivia doesn’t mind a bit of skin, do you, sweetheart?”
Heat flooded my cheeks. The way Duke spoke to Alexander was awfully familiar.
“I'm not asking, Duke.”

My eyes widened even though they were clamped shut. Alex?!
“Chere and givea proper greeting, won't you? Just a little kiss for your old friend?”
Oh God. They're together. | felt sick, and stupid. But also terribly confused.
“Stop being tic. Just fix your damn clothes,” | heard Alexander
say.
And then | heard Duke fumbling with the buttons of his shirt. “There. Properly dressed just for you. Happy now?”
