It's like he knows exactly what I need, what my perverted mind craves and he gives it all to me and more.

I think of Luca and Leon.

Why couldn't it have been one of them to stir whatever this is inside me? To sate the twisted needs I have.

Why'd it have to be Kane fucking Legend?

The boy who wants to ruin me for everyone else.

The boy who hates me more than anyone else.

The boy I've been lying to for well over a year.

A single tear slips from my eyes as I think about everything he lost but has no idea he was ever going to have.

When my alarm goes off the next morning, I can barely move.

With a groan, I let my arm hang off the bed in the hope I can reach my purse and silence my cell.

I can't.

"Fucking hell," I mutter, rolling out of bed to find it on the floor by the door where I abandoned it when I finally got in last night.

I turn the alarm off and crawl back into bed, telling myself that I'll have ten minutes.

When I wake again, it's to the sound of Ella knocking and calling out my name.

Scrambling to grab my cell, I find that an hour and a half has passed and that I really need to leave for class.

"Fuck. Fuck," I bark.

"Letty, are you ready?"

"No," I call back. "Go without me."

"Is everything okay?"

"Uh…" I hesitate, trying to come up with an excuse. I can hardly tell her the truth. She'll want to have me committed. "I'm not feeling great. I'm not sure I'm going to make it in."

"Is there anything I can do?" she asks, not even questioning my lie.

I smile to myself. I've really landed on my feet here with these guys.

"No, I'm just going to sleep it off."

"Okay. If you want me to pick you anything up or whatever just call me, yeah?"

"I will, thank you."

"Feel better soon," she says softly before her footsteps disappear and the dorm falls quiet.

Rolling onto my back, I blow out a long breath.

He'll have woken up and found me gone by now. Will he have cared that I crept out in the night? Will he have been relieved that we didn't need to do the awkward morning after when he remembered just how much he hates me and kicked me out on my ass? Or worse, have they found the cameras yet?

Victor said that Ellis has the equipment to trace them. How often does he do that? Is them getting bugged such a threat that he does it every morning?
