FINN

I'd been thinking about this all day.

Cole and me. Just us, in the context of everything else. Every other pairing had found its moment and we'd always been the two orbiting through everyone else, touching in someone else's context, never quite landing in our own.

I turned onto my side.

Cole felt it. He turned his head.

We looked at each other.

"Hi," I said.

"Hi," he said.

I reached out and put my hand on his chest. Felt his heartbeat — faster than it should have been for someone who'd ju

  • WHY CHOOSE?   73. THE AUCTION

    New Story Alert**Ivy Sorrell didn't know she was collateral until she was standing on a stage.Sold by her own stepfamily to clear a debt she never knew existed, she expects to be bought like property and used like one. What she doesn't expect is the bidding war between three brothers who refuse to let anyone else win her — or the million-dollar price tag that makes her theirs before she's said a single word.Roman looks at her like she's already his prize to unwrap. Silas says nothing, watches everything, and misses nothing. Ezra is the one who leans in close and tells her she's safe — and she has no idea yet whether that's a promise or the cruelest lie of all.She was sold to disappear. Instead, the Kade brothers are about to make sure the whole world knows exactly who she belongs to.Three brothers. One auction. And a price that was never really about the money.CHAPTER ONEThe dress they put me in wasn't mine. Nothing in the last six months had been mine.It was ivory silk, cut l

    FINNI'd been thinking about this all day.Cole and me. Just us, in the context of everything else. Every other pairing had found its moment and we'd always been the two orbiting through everyone else, touching in someone else's context, never quite landing in our own.I turned onto my side.Cole felt it. He turned his head.We looked at each other."Hi," I said."Hi," he said.I reached out and put my hand on his chest. Felt his heartbeat — faster than it should have been for someone who'd just come down from something. Aware. Ready."Still thinking?" I asked."Not anymore," he said."Good."I kissed him.Cole kissed differently with me than he did with anyone else in this bed and I felt the difference immediately.No careful weight to it. No years of history pressing through. Just two people who had been curious about each other for weeks finally with nowhere else to be.He kissed me like we were equals. I loved it immediately.My hands went into his hair and his grip on my jaw tig

    Nadia;It started with Finn's mouth on my throat.We'd been on the couch for an hour, all four of us, the television saying something nobody was listening to. And then Finn's mouth found my throat and that was it — that was the whole thing, the match to the fuse, the room going from zero to charged in the space of a single exhale.His lips were warm and deliberate, tracing upward from my collarbone to just below my ear, his hand sliding into my hair and tilting my head to give him better access. I felt the graze of his teeth and my breath left me in a rush.Luke was on the floor in front of the couch. He looked up.His eyes went dark.He stood up.Cole was beside me and he turned at the movement, watching Luke cross the room with that quiet focused attention he gave everything, and I felt the shift in him — the specific alertness of someone whose body has decided something before their brain catches up.Luke sat on the edge of the coffee table directly in front of me. Knee to knee. He

    He walked me backward into the lockers.The impact was solid and real and I felt it through my whole back and I didn't care at all. His hands were moving now — off my face, finding the zipper of my practice jacket, pulling it down with the same efficient focus he brought to everything. I shrugged it off. His went next. I got my hands on the hem of his base layer and pulled and then we were both down to skin and the strip-lighting was too bright and the locker room smelled like ice and sweat and neither of us gave a single damn.I looked at him.I'd seen Luke Maddox shirtless a hundred times in this exact room. This was not that.This was Luke standing in front of me with his chest rising and falling and his eyes on my face and no pretense between us for the first time in two years. No performance of indifference, no careful management of where my eyes went and what I let myself register.I looked.The line of his shoulders. The specific architecture of him — different from what I expe

    COLEThe ice was empty when I got there.Good. That was what I needed — the cold and the quiet and the particular clarity that came from having nothing between me and the thing I was trying to think through. I'd been in my apartment for two hours trying to do the same thing and my apartment had walls and a ceiling and all it had done was make everything louder.I laced up and stepped out onto the rink and the cold hit me the way it always did — immediate, clarifying, like a reset button for everything above the neck.I started skating.No drills. No structure. Just movement, the repetitive carve of blades on ice, the familiar burn starting in my thighs and spreading outward. I did three laps before I registered the other figure at the far end of the rink.I stopped.Luke.He was at the opposite goal running shot drills alone, the puck moving from stick to net in that same deliberate sequence he repeated until it was automatic, until his body could do it without his brain involved. I'd

    We did not go to the bedroom.What happened instead happened right there — on my kitchen counter, in the warm low light, with the city doing its nighttime thing outside and the wine glasses forgotten on the opposite counter. He moved over me with that slow thorough rhythm that I was already understanding was specifically Cole — nothing rushed, nothing performed, just complete presence, complete attention, every movement deliberate and deep and devastating in its patience.I've had good lovers. I understood that category. Men who were skilled, who knew the mechanics, who could make the physical components work correctly.This was not that category.This was Cole watching my face while he moved, tracking every response, adjusting with a precision that made my brain go completely offline. His forehead pressed to mine at some point, his breath unsteady against my lips, one hand gripping the counter beside me and the other cradling the back of my head like he was protecting something.The
