Shame and embarrassment flooded through my body as I sprung from my bed and raced to pick up my robe, quickly covering my naked, trembling body. My eyes started to sting with the threat of tears. How could I have been so fucking stupid? How did I not know it wasn’t Everett? Trying to escape to the bathroom and hide my embarrassment, Everett grabbed me by the shoulders before I could make a run for it, pulling my body close to his.

“Did he hurt you? Are you okay?”

Yanking from his hold, I darted to the bathroom just in time to vomit all the contents from my stomach. I’m only thankful I, at least, made it to the toilet. Hunched over the porcelain, I feel a hand start rubbing my back as I continue to gag. My hair is suddenly pulled back from my hand that’s been clenching the strands so tight my fingers hurt.

“Please, just leave me be.” I say through my gags. I can’t handle the shame and painful embarrassment that has now plagued my body. My muscles soon relax, but whoever is behind me has yet to make a move to leave. He’s still holding my hair back and rubbing soothing circles against my skin.

“Go see if Colson has gotten home yet; we’re leaving. Now.”

I turn my head and meet Everett’s face as he kneels behind me.

“He’s in his room,” I say to them. They both share a look of confusion. “He passed out in the kitchen, talking about the job he was just on, and Callum carried him to his room. I thought he was you,” I choke out, tears now sliding down my face, my voice cracking as I try to hold back a sob.

I turn my head and see Dean leaving the room, but not before he gives me a look. His eyes are soft, almost apologetic as he lowers his head, turns on his heel, and leaves. I sit back from the toilet and pull my legs into my chest, wrapping my arms around them tight. I fucking hate crying. I hate feeling like someone broke me, or I’m a weak little girl, but my body betrays me as I lower my head to my knees and cry.

Everett pulls his body in close behind me, his knees boxing me in as he wraps his arms around me.

“It’s okay, baby girl,” Everett whispers in my ear, but he’s wrong. It's not okay. I allowed a stranger to touch me, to trick me into thinking he was someone I trusted. How far would we have gone? What if I didn't notice the tongue ring? Would we have slept together? The thought of sleeping with someone who may want to kill me makes my stomach flip again. The thought alone makes me want to vomit.

“It’s not okay. I let him touch me. I let him do things to me, Everett. How could I have been so fucking stupid?” Before I could rest my head back down on
