Somehow, I was able to find the same bedroom I’d used before. After crashing through the door, I hurried over and flung myself onto the bed, burying my face in the pillow to hide my tears.

Minutes later, I heard the door open and felt the mattress dipping, then comforting fingers stroked my hair.

“Emily, please,” Xavier said, his voice shaky. “I can’t bear to see you like this.”

I braved a look at him. “I love you. I don’t understand why we can’t be together.”

He rose from the bed and paced the length of the room.

I pushed myself up against the headboard. “I want to spend every night with you. Wake up with you. Be there for you.”

“Me too.” He paused and offered me a smile. “More than anything.”

“Don’t you trust me?”

“With my life.”

I swiped away a tear. “I believe you when you say your work is important. If this is what you want…if this will make you happy…”

“Oh, Em.”

Putting a hand to my chest, I whispered, “It just hurts so bad.”

He stared at me with a conflicted expression.“I talk to computers.” He gave me a rueful smile. “Stupid, really. Here you are in front of me…real, authentic, good.”

“I don’t understand. You mean you code?”

“No, it’s very different. When computers talk with each other, I interpret what they’re saying.”

“Computers talk?”

“Artificial intelligence.”

“What do you mean by that exactly?”

“Computers have evolved. They make decisions. Some even take action.”

“What’s it like talking with it?”

“With them.” He shrugged. “Intense.”

“You were talking with the AI at home? You played chess with it…I mean, them?”

“Yes.”

And I’d had no idea…

I was hit with the realization that Xavier’s far-reaching skill was why James was so possessive of him.

“Are they dangerous?”

“Potentially.”

“People need to know.”

Xavier shook his head. “That would cause chaos.”

A shadowy figure appeared in the doorway. It was James, and he looked furious.

Xavier turned and faced James’ wrath. “She knows.”

“You told her?” A muscle in James’ jaw twitched.

“Now she can be in my life,” said Xavier calmly.

“That was not the plan,” said James. “You were to let her go.”

“I changed my mind.”

The air between them crackled as tension scorched the air. I got off the bed and stood closer to Xavier.

“Why did you bring her here?” asked James. “To seduce her into something she doesn’t want?”

“She wants it.” Xavier raised his hands. “And so do you. I see the way you look at her.”

“Don’t even go there.”

“I knew that once you tasted her, there’d be no going back for you.”

“You’re recklessly playing with lives,” he replied coldly.

“You always get what you want, James,” said Xavier. “I learned from the best.”

“Is this what you want?” James moved forward quickly, grabbing Xavier and shoving him up against the wall. “This?”

“I want you to take her hard.”

“If I refuse?”

Xavier cupped James’ balls. “This tells me all I need to know.”

James pressed his lips to Xavier’s in anger. A moan tore from Xavier as they kissed. It was savage and cruel and forbidden, and this could have been hate playing out if not for the searing passion between them.
