I blink rapidly, trying to rid myself of the scene I just witnessed. Drunk on the music, adrenaline, and freedom, I followed Thorn to the back, wanting to know just how he’d take care of his erection. And whether he wanted help. But someone beat me to it.

And what of it? Thorn is a man free to make love to any woman. I want to be happy for him, that this beautiful, petite, topless brunette was pressed up against him.

But . . . I’m not happy. The girl who is happy for everyone. The girl who prides herself on never judging others. For once, the role chafes, strangling me in my own skin.

I rush around Promise, not dancing, eyes unable to focus on the throngs of bodies gyrating to the music. What the hell was I thinking? Where is Burgundy? The other guys? I need to get that picture out of my mind.

“Iphigenia?”

I whirl around to face him, those dark eyes clouded with something I can’t identify.

“I’m sorry, Thorn.” I turn away. I can’t look at him and I don’t know what to say past that.

“What are you sorry for? I’m the one who’s sorry.” He touches my chin with just one finger, enticing my gaze back up. The intensity in his eyes finally blocks out the image of that girl.

“Why are you—“ But his head leans down and my own strains up to meet his. Our lips touch and before that moment, I hadn’t realized how much I wanted this. Him. The taste of him sears through my core, like a rope wrapped too tightly around my body as I drop to a stage a thousand feet below. Except this burning, his heat, is the opposite of painful. I let him take my mouth, unable to hold back a moan as I mold myself to his body. His arms fold around me, pulling me tighter while his tongue darts out, parting my lips. Painfully slow, he licks them, tracing each contour, and I lean my head back, gasping for air. Thorn mistakes my movement and steps back, leaving only a hand on my shoulder as I wobble on my feet.

“Iphigenia, are you okay?”

“I think so.” I’m trembling and confused. I want more of this man, but I also feel torn. What about Rhys? Caspian? How can I want all three? And what will they do when they find out?

“There you are.” Rhys moves next to me, reaching for my hand as if I called him out of the ether with my thoughts. Bending down, he brushes a strand of hair off my cheek and kisses me there.

I shake my head at him and then at Thorn. Pulling my hand out of Rhys’s grasp, I turn and run through the club until I spot my friend dancing with her lovers.

“Burgundy.”

“Iphi, what’s happened? Did someone try to hurt you?”

I shake my head. “I want to go home. Can you take me?”

“Of course.” She holds on to my arm, leaning in to whisper to her lovers.
