I READ KIERA’S TEXT over and over. Who knew two little words could cut so deep? Is that what she really thought? That she didn’t know me.

She knew me.

Kiera knew me better than anyone.

I hadn’t so much as looked at another girl since starting at UCLA, and it wasn’t for a lack of offers. I’m pretty sure my teammates all thought I was gay. But I couldn’t get Kiera out of my head. Wondering what she was doing back in Wicked Bay, who she was hanging out with... if there were any guys sniffing around her. She was a junior now. I knew what went through guys minds at that age—hell, it had been me two years ago.

Here I was, with a serious case of blue balls, drinking on the weekend until I was too wasted to get it up, or hitting the gym to distract myself from the endless offers from girls, and she thought I’d bagged Macey fucking Prince. When all I’d been trying to do was help a girl in need.

Macey and Devon Lions, a guy in her class, had something going, and by the looks of it, it was a fucking train wreck waiting to happen. I hadn’t intended on getting in the middle of it, but Macey was on a mission to get shit-faced and I wasn’t about to let her do something—or someone—she regretted. So I’d stepped up, offering to drink with her. Keep the piranhas from circling. I didn’t expect to spend most of the night holding her hair back while she puked up a night’s worth of liquor into the bowl.

How did the saying go? Nice guys always finished last?

It seemed to be the story of my fucking life lately.

I contemplated texting Kiera again, but what was there to say? She didn’t believe me. And she was with Kyle. He’d seen something pass between us; it was tangible. A shift in the air. I didn’t need to give him any more ammunition. But I needed Kiera to know the truth.

She had to know the truth.

I wouldn’t hurt her. Not like this. Not after seeing the hurt in her eyes after we’d kissed, and I’d called it a mistake. Not after hearing the devastation in her voice when she’d told me the truth about that fucker Remy.

We'd been friends of sorts, meeting and texting. We were something... undefined, something I hadn't wanted to look into too closely, happy for the chance to spend time with her. But just because I couldn’t give her more didn’t mean I wouldn’t give her all the parts of me I could.

Not that I needed to hand them over to her.

She already owned them.

I could fight it, tell myself that we could never work, but it didn’t change the fact Kiera owned me. She had ever since that first day at The Shack.

And I didn’t have a fucking clue what to do with that.
