Chapter 5

“Wake up.”

No. She didn’t want to wake up. She was having the most delightful dream.

“Bri, it’s almost seven o’clock.”

Bri struggled to open her eyes. She gazed up at Zach as he leaned over her. “A.m. or p.m.?”

“P.m.,” he replied. “I’m going to Alex’s stag party.”

Bri yawned. “Okay,” she said. “Have fun.”

When she rolled onto her side, Zach’s hands closed over her hips and gently shook her. “But Elaine is having a party for Leigh.”

Bri didn’t care. Who the fuck is Elaine anyway?

“Elaine is my father’s fiancée.”

Bri’s eyes opened wide. She hadn’t realized she asked the question out loud. And now that she was fully awake, there was something else she needed to deal with. She jumped out of bed and glared at Zach, who was fully clothed and ready to leave. “I’m still angry at you for telling Max that I’m gay.”

“I know and you have every right to be angry. If I’d known Max would tell my father, I never would have confided in him.”

“That’s not the point,” she said. “You need to know—”

When someone knocked on the door...or rather, pounded on the door...Bri grabbed the sheet off the bed and held it in front of her.

“That’ll be Max,” Zach said. “Run into the bathroom.”

Bri did, the sheet dragging behind her. She grimaced when the bathroom door would not close tightly and then discovered part of the sheet was caught in it. The door suddenly opened just a crack as Zach’s hand pushed the sheet inside before it slammed closed.

Bri gathered the sheet around her and sat on the toilet. Her heart ached. Even if Zach had finally figured out she wasn’t gay, he had no intention of sharing it with his family. She knew she should be angry.

And shit, she was.

But right now, at this very moment, as she sat in the bathroom listening to the muffled voices on the other side of the door, she felt heartsick. She realized in the year she’d been friends with Zach, she had never once met anyone in his family. Was there a reason for it? Did Zach feel she didn’t measure up to the Diamond standard?

After a few minutes of silence, Bri opened the door slightly and peeked out. Zach had left with his brother. She let the sheet fall off her as she walked out of the bathroom. She caught a corner as it fell away from her. Gathering the sheet into a ball, she threw it onto the bed. Anger replaced the inadequacy she’d felt earlier.

She was Brianna O’Ryan! She’d never let any man treat her as a castoff. If Zach thought he could fuck her and then discard her without consequences, he had another think coming.

Bri sat on the side of the bed. She had to come up with a way to show Zach just how little she cared about him. Her heart lurched. Just how could she do that when she loved him with every fiber of her being?

Bri pushed that thought aside. She had
