And I am never letting go.

Chapter Sixteen

Orion

It took all of one goddamn day for me to text her.

Maybe I’m weak. Maybe I just needed more.

Or maybe Juliet is the kind of woman who fucks a man straight into insanity.

That soft little body should not be able to take me the way she did. That’s a whole new level of unfair.

And yet here I am.

At her house.

For dinner.

With her boyfriend.

I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, but I know one thing, I couldn’t say no.

Maybe I want to see what kind of man she loves. Or maybe I’m just fucking crazy enough to hear out this strange fucking arrangement they have.

The house is nice. Cute, even. Big. Well-kept. Warm light glows from the windows, something inviting about the whole setup.

There are two cars in the driveway.

I pause, dragging a hand over my jaw.

What the fuck am I doing?

My phone buzzes.

Tammy.

Jesus.

I don’t even bother opening it. I already know what the text says.

I tried polite. I tried firm. I tried fucking ignoring her.

Nothing works.

I send one text back.

Fuck off.

Then I pocket my phone and make my way up the walk.

I barely get a second to knock before the door swings open.

And I’m greeted by a man.

Noah.

Juliet’s boyfriend.
