SY

Kade Lennox rejected me. So I found someone who wouldn’t. One date turned into another. One drink turned into bringing Luca home. And the next morning? Kade was standing in my bedroom doorway. Silent. Furious. Looking at me like he’d spent the entire night imagining things he had no right to ask about. “What are you doing here?” His jaw tightened. “If you let him touch you, he’s dead.” I stared at him. Then smiled. “You had your chance, Kade.” Something in his expression snapped. “Yeah.” His voice dropped. “And I’m done pretending I don’t want another one.”
