The way he pinned me to the ground, thrusting inside me, made me feel all the things I tried to push away.

Him cumming inside me with that pained, sexy groan, getting the feeling he was giving all his hurt and pain to me.

All of that happened without uttering a single word, us communicating with our eyes and our sounds of pleasure. And when he pulled me into his arms, holding me close, everything felt right. Like he was meant to be there with me, in that way.

Only now, as I look down at him, panic fills me. This shouldn’t have happened. I can’t allow these kinds of mind games. He might want me in some sense, but I can’t just be his fuck toy anymore. I won’t be at his beck and call. I won’t be used like this.

If he wants me, he needs to do better, show me more.

Slowly and carefully, I get to my feet, cringing when I feel the stickiness of his cum between my thighs.

My panties? Where are my damn panties? Looking around frantically, I find them on the ground nearby. Hastily, I slip them on before grabbing my shoes and phone.

I’m about to leave when I look back to Preston. My stomach dips, and the idea of leaving him like this when he’s clearly hurting, so I grab one of the blankets and place it over his sleeping form.

“I want to help you. To be there for you. To take the pain away,” I whisper, brushing his hair off his forehead. “But I can’t do any of that until you show me you want more. I won’t hurt myself chasing after a man who doesn’t think I’m worth fighting for.”

Leaning forward, I press a kiss to his forehead. “I care about you, Preston. I just wish you cared enough about yourself to allow others in.”

I leave the tower, waiting until I’m at the bottom of the stairs before slipping on my flats.

The cool night breeze has me shivering as I quickly walk away from the chapel.

“Stupid, Sadie,” I curse myself. “Way to fucking go. Cheating on your boyfriends after only dating them for a week.”

The realization hits me, and I feel sick. My body breaks out into a nervous sweat, and I start to panic.

This isn’t me. I would never cheat on the man that I love. Men that I love.

But I did.

My hand shakes as I lift my phone up, tears stinging the back of my eyes. It’s nearly three in the morning, but I know if I don’t get this off my chest now, it’s going to eat me alive.

The phone rings a few times before Collin answers. “Sadie, is everything okay?” his voice is thick with sleep.Shit, of course, he was sleeping.

“I just fucked your brother,” I blurt out before choking on a sob.

“Ahh, well, hello to you too, baby,” he huffs out a laugh. “Did he at least make you cum?”

His answer has me stumbling to a stop. “W-what?”

“You know, did you orgasm? Because if that fucker left you wanting, I’ll have to kick his ass.”

I blink rapidly at the path before me in stunned confusion. “You want to know if your brother gave me an orgasm?” I ask slowly, still not sure I’m hearing him right.

“Well, did he?”

“Yes...” Three, if we’re being exact.

“Good. It would be a shame if I’d have to come over and finish the job for him. I mean, I can still come over if you want.” I can hear the cockiness seeping from his tone.

“Collin, I’m so confused. I just told you I had sex with Preston, and you’re not mad at me?”

“No,” he starts. “Why would I be? I told you I was going to learn to share you with the guys. And as much as I wish it was me inside you, I’m not mad.”

“Yeah, but I thought you meant Declan and Grayson. I’m dating them, not Preston.”

“No. Not officially. But I told you that I knew my brother wants you and I know you have feelings for him. He wasn’t a jerk, was he?”
