NOW

HANNAH

Hazard is at my door. As soon as I open it he takes my hand. “Are you okay?”

“No.” I blink at him. “I don’t think I am.”

Because it’s a better answer than “Yes, now that you’re here.”

I can’t lean into those feelings. If he knows, he might do something…. And I can’t let him try to save me out of guilt or some other notion of pity.

“Come in.”

I step out of the way and Hazard does as I ask, letting me close the door, and block him from any witnesses if they decide to swing by to check in on me.

I needed him so badly, I called him, but I didn’t think about this part. About Hazard inside Noa’s home. About what he would think when he saw it.

Hazard stands just inside the door and looks around the space.

I’d be willing to bet it makes his skin crawl as much as it does mine. “It’s horrible, isn’t it.”

“I hate it. Maybe we should go somewhere else.”

“Maybe we should.” But I can’t leave… we can’t go anywhere else—a hotel’s too risky, and his house is too far away. And I don’t want to be around anyone else.

I take his hand and lead him through the house, taking him into my bedroom and closing the door against the cold memory of Noa.

He relaxes almost instantly. And when I turn to him, he pulls me in tight, holding me like he never wants to let me go.

His lips pressed to my hair, he just stands there, arms wrapped around me, warmth soaking into my skin.

It’s exactly like it’s been so many times before… just with all our clothes on.

I don’t imagine anyone else from the club would have done this. There’s a bed, right there, and Hazard of all people knows I’m always willing—especially for him.

Even knowing it would be wrong, I’d probably give in.

But he just holds me, his arms a tight cage around me, keeping me against him as he strokes my hair. “Anything you need, Hannah. Anything at all. I will find a way to get it for you.”

I want him. I want this.

Fault would have been a terrible plan. We barely knew each other… but Hazard. I know Hazard better than I’ve ever known anyone in my life.

And maybe that’s why I can’t ask him for what I want.

Maybe that’s why… no matter how much I long for him, I can’t ask him to be my bondmate.

If it wasn’t Noa and his condition... if I’m the one who’s broken. I couldn’t condemn Hazard to the bleak emptiness Noa and I felt.

I can’t condemn anyone to it… but him least of all.

“Just hold me.” Hold me and never let me go.

But a few moments later, I step away from him, looking up into a face I could lose forever…

I trace my fingers over the ridges of his cheekbones, over the soft planes beneath them.

I want him so badly, the ache has settled into my guts.

When he lowers his head, I’m the one who kisses him.
