The last few hours felt surreal. And while I lay there beside him, hearing his rhythmic breathing while he slept, my heart was pounding with unease. Everything was wrong.

Onyx.

Me.

Us.

The Pythons.

After hearing what the Pythons did to Neon, a woman every member of the Kings seemed so fond of, nothing made sense anymore. And these feelings I had for Onyx were unlike anything I’d ever felt before. It felt good, yet unnerving at the same time. And the guilt? Oh, God, I’d never felt this amount of immense guilt in my entire life. It was one giant whirlpool of conflicting emotions swirling around inside me, and I didn’t how to deal with that. All I knew was everything had changed. Something shifted, and my entire life, my existence no longer made any goddamn sense.

This was wrong. Me being here with him, feeling all these things was wrong.

I eased out of bed, careful not wake him. I had to leave so I could breathe again. Get some fresh air and at least try to sort through the jumbled mess in my head.

I slipped into my jeans and pulled my shirt over my head. When I grabbed my boots, I looked over at the bedside table for my knife. Then I glanced at Onyx still sound asleep. It would be so easy for me to stab my blade through his chest right now without anyone knowing. He wouldn’t be able to fight back—if I was lucky, he would die without knowing it was me. In that moment, I was his biggest threat—the new president of the American Street Kings at his most vulnerable.

My heart felt heavy with the thought, the gravity of my guilt pulling it down to the soles of my feet.

Unshed tears stung the back of my eyes, and I knew I couldn’t stay any longer.

I inhaled deeply, loving his scent and hoping it was something I’d always remember. When I turned to leave, I caught sight of his knife on the table next to his keys. Just one thing. I just wanted one thing of his, so I took it, tucking it in the side of my boot.

I stole one more glance at him on the bed, the navy sheet draped over his big frame. When I walked into that bar and saw him sitting alone that very first night, I never could have anticipated how much my life would change.

“Goodbye, Onyx,” I whispered and sneaked out of his bedroom, gently closing the door behind me.

The lock clicked, and I leaned against the door, letting out a breath, and my heart aching.

“Early riser?”

I yelped, grabbed my chest, and spun around, staring right at Alyx and Neon. “Jesus. You scared the crap out of me.”

Neon smirked. “That happens when you get caught sneaking out like a cat who just stole a tin of tuna.”

“I’m not—” I rerouted my thoughts. “Hey, are you okay?”

Neon frowned in question, and I crossed my arms. “Last night, I couldn’t help but overhear what happened. That had to be some fucking nightmare.
