I grabbed a giant handful of marshmallows and balanced them on top of the mug.

“How in the hell do you drink the hot chocolate then?” Xavier asked.

“Give it a minute and they get gooey,” I said. “Then you just press them down.”

“Weird.”

“You don’t like marshmallows?” I asked.

Xavier lifted his mug and grinned.

He had something different in his hot chocolate.

Even still…

I’m drinking hot chocolate at one in the morning with Xavier. And he’s still shirtless. And I’m still naked under a blanket and a hoodie. And we’re alone in this beach house. And he keeps looking at me like what we did before wasn’t the one and only time for the night…

Heat moved through my body freely.

“You know what you know,” Xavier said. “I’m not discussing anyone’s personal secrets. Okay? I’ll tell you how this all started. You know that half this place is corrupt. Maybe even all of it. You have BFH, East versus West, right? They’re bad down there. Really rich. Always in the mood for a fight. Then you have connections to HCH and even to BC. But us up here… we’re the kings and queens. But we’re not much better. You can figure this out when you’re ready, but your father got involved with Roland and Aldrich. My guess is your father got tired of being made fun of as the guy who invents useless shit. To me, money is money. If he can come up with some dumb late-night TV product and make big money, go for it. But he took it personally. And Roland and Aldrich took advantage of it. Of him. I’m pretty sure your father is broke, Winter. Because of Roland and Aldrich. They had a scheme of their own. You figured it out. You watched it and cracked it wide open. You’re the one who brought the plan to us.”

I shook my head. “That makes no sense.”

“Yes, it does,” Xavier said. “You wanted to get away from it all. You were let down by your father. You hated your mother. And you had the chance to get some cash and run. And that’s what this was all about. Real cash. Roland and Aldrich have millions hidden. We were going to steal it. And when we took the cash, there was nothing they could do about it. It was already stolen. They would just have to suck it up and move on. And we wanted them to know it was us. Noah hates his father. You know that. The same for Easton. The money isn’t even fun for them. It’s the power. And that’s what you wanted, Winter. You wanted the power. You had the power.”

“Until someone tried to kill me,” I said.

Xavier nodded. “And now we’re all being followed.”

“So it all ties together.”

“Of course it does,” he said.

“Are you scared?” I asked.

“The only time I’ve ever been scared in my life was when you looked me in the eyes and said you didn’t remember me.”

My heart spun around.

Talk about hitting my heart…

“So what are we going to do?” I asked.
