Grayson texts in thegroup chat, saying we need to come over and talk about what happened last night.

I groan, really wishing I could forget about it. Well, not the whole night, but I could have lived without Collin crashing in and finding us with our dicks out... literally.

I do have to admit, watching the guys get beaten with a dildo was pretty funny. However, I’m not too happy with how he went all caveman. He had no right to tell us to stay away from Sadie in the first place. She’s her own person. He’s just her TA and guidance counselor. I don’t care what kind of past they have. The fact is, he is a stranger to her now, as far as I know.

Everything was perfect before he ruined it. Fuck, I felt like I was in the best dream ever imagined. She looked so sexy and not just with what she was wearing, but how she took control of her body. She knew what she wanted and knew when to ask for help.

And fuck, I was more than happy to be the one who got to help her. Never thought I’d be jealous of a dildo, but the whole time it moved in and out of her, I was wishing it was my cock that her pussy was clamping around.

Her hand on me, along with her mouth against mine, made my brain short circuit. No one has ever made me feel the way she does. I’ve easily become addicted, and I want more.

I send a quick message in the chat that I’m on my way and roll out of bed where I’ve been hanging out all day. Once I slip on my coat and shoes, I make my way down to the lobby.

“Hey, Declan,” a cute blonde greets, smiling at me as I pass. Normally, I’d blush, but today I just give her a friendly smile back and nod. She’s not the one I want attention from, not the one I want to be seen by.

I’m not sure how this is going to affect my duties with the host club. I’m good enough of an actor to be what I need for my clients, but sometimes they like physical touch. Maybe a kiss or a cuddle, but I don’t think I’d be able to do that anymore.

A little breeze blows through the fallen leaves on the ground. I smile, watching them dance in the wind. It’s crazy that September is almost over, but the school year has only just begun. There's still so much left to do before the end of this year.

Homecoming is in a few weeks, and the host club is usually in charge of the homecoming dance. In most schools, students would go to listen to some music and get drunk before leaving for an after party—but at Kingston, we do things a little differently.

It’s a big deal. A massive masquerade ball.

I want to ask Sadie to go with me, but my father will be expecting me to take Mia. As will her parents.

I hate this.I feel bad for her. She doesn’t want this anymore than I do. She should be able to find a woman she loves and be happy. I’ve always hated my family's money. If I woke up tomorrow and it was all gone, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

Preston isn’t the only one who’s trying to secure his future by making money under the table. It’s a big reason why I agreed to go into business with the guys and open Wonderlust. I, too, would like to have something to fall back on if shit ever hits the fan.

It’s also why I’ve been thinking more about what Mia said.

But after Collin’s little barbarian display, which proved what Preston said in the limo was true, I’m going to have a bit of a competition.Is she someone I’m ready to fight for?

I’d like to say yes, but I’m just a little less of a stranger than Collin is.

From the look on Sadie’s face and the sounds of her angry shouting, I think Collin lowered his chances of winning her over by a lot. Manhandling her is not the way to go, if you ask me.

Hopping into my car, I head to Grayson’s house. He lives just down the road, and normally I’d walk, but I kind of just want to get this conversation done and over with. My mind has been going crazy wondering what we're going to do now.

Are they going to listen to Collin and end our deal with Sadie? Fuck, I hope not. Last night was just a taste of what's to come. I’m not ready to give that up.

I punch in the gate code and drive through after it opens. When I pull up to the house, I see that Collin and Preston are already here.

Quickly, I park and jog over to the front door, letting myself in like I always do. At first, I’d wait until the doorman would let me in, but Grayson insisted I just make myself at home. He even went as far to tell the doorman not to answer the door, forcing me to let myself in or not come in at all. He’s an odd one, but he’s a good guy.

“Hello?” I call out, not sure where this little meeting is being held.

“In here!” Grayson’s voice sounds from down the hall. I assume he’s in the library, so I check there first. I’m right when I see Preston sitting on the couch, glaring at his brother, who's sitting on the chair across from him, returning the murderous look.

“Alright, now that we're all here. Let’s get this done and over with, shall we?” Grayson says, taking a drag of a cigarette before tossing it into the fireplace.

“I can end this meeting right here and now,” Collin snarks. “Stay away from Sadie, like I fucking told you to before. Simple as that.”

Preston lets out a condescending laugh. “You're so fucking delusional, you know that, right? The stunt you pulled last night should have landed your ass in jail if you weren’t... well, you.”

“I told you to stay away from her. Why didn’t you listen!?” Collin shouts.

Preston glares at his brother and leans forward. “Because I don’t answer to you. You can’t tell me to do shit. Sadie came to the host club to conduct a business transaction, just like every other client.”
