“Why are you so nervous?” Harper eyed me as I paced the length of our room. “I thought you’d be thrilled about a date with Deacon.”

“I am,” I muttered and dragged my hand through my hair. Or at least I would’ve been if I didn’t feel so damned guilty. I’d almost really hurt Crystal today. I bit my tongue to keep the truth from spilling out.

“Then what’s wrong?” she asked.

“I’m just worried about Crystal.” Lie. Kind of.

“I know. I can’t believe she was targeted twice.” Harper shook her head, then rested her chin in her palms. She was stretched out across her bed already in pjs. I’d wanted this date with Deacon so badly I’d been reckless. Now, I just wished I could take it all back. Crystal deserved that date with him, not me. Heck, even Electra deserved it more than I did. Using our powers was strictly forbidden in this round. If anyone had discovered what I’d done I’d be out of here.

My parents would be mortified. And I would’ve ruined my chances at finding the one.

I’m such an idiot.

I should just go tell the producer the truth and let Crystal have the date with Deacon. Yes, that’s what I’d do. I whirled toward the door and shouted over my shoulder, “There’s something I have to do. I’ll be back.”

“Where are you going? Your date with Deacon is in less than half an hour!” Harper cried out behind me, but I ignored her and slammed the door.

I darted out into the hallway and raced down the stairs. At least now after the scavenger hunt, I knew where the production team lived. How hard could it be to find Sheppard and tell him the truth? I’d beg him not to boot me off the show, and maybe he wouldn’t, given his past with my parents. Maybe…

I just knew I couldn’t live with what I’d done.

I yanked the front door open and smacked into a hard body. “Oof,” I mumbled as all the air withdrew from my lungs. I glanced up and met a pair of smirking, dark irises. “Ugh, not you,” I groaned.

“Damn, precious, what is your issue with me?” Slade scowled down at me, and for a second, I felt guilty. Here I was judging the demon for using his powers on the defenseless bachelorettes when I’d been no better.

I lowered my gaze and met a naked torso and rippling abs. My eyes widened as I took him in, my jaw slightly unhinging at the sight. Sure, I’d seen Slade shirtless countless times on TV, but in person, it was just different.

Forcing my eyes away from his godly perfection, I found his gaze and a knowing look in his eye. Dammit, he’d totally caught me ogling him. Like he needed his head to grow any bigger.

“I don’t have an issue with you,” I finally growled. “I don’t care about you at all.”

“Could’ve fooled me.” He planted his hands on his hips. “About the issue. Not about caring, obviously.”

“Obviously.” And still I remained rooted to the spot.
