Oliviaโs POV
Fuck. What the hell was I thinking? Letting Lennox touch me? With panting breath and anger-filled eyes, I stared at Lennox, who was staring backโonly his gaze was blank. Quickly, I covered myself with the blanket and looked him straight in the eyes. โWe are going to pretend this never happened, Lennox,โ I said quickly. โI donโt want anyone to know, especially your brothers.โ I warned, and Lennox frowned.
His jaw twitched, his eyes narrowing. โAnd who the fuck said I wanted them to know?โ he snapped.
My frown deepened. โIโm the one supposed to be telling you this! Thatโs supposed to be my line,โ he said angrily, and my anger intensified.
โGet out,โ I ordered, pointing at the door.
But Lennox didnโt move. Rather, he kept staring at me with panting breath, like he was seconds away from reaching for me. I frowned. โGet out, Alpha Lennox, or else I will scream and draw the attention of your brothers. I believe you wouldnโt want them to know what just happened between us?โ I threatened.
Lennox didnโt look bothered by my threats, but he only growled before storming out of my room and slamming the door shut.
I let out a shaky breath the moment the door slammed behind him. My hands trembled as I clutched the blanket tighter around my naked body. โStupid, Olivia. Stupid,โ I hissed at myself, dragging a hand through my tangled hair.
This wasnโt supposed to happen. This couldnโt happen. My cheeks flamed with both anger and humiliation as flashes of what had just happened invaded my mind. His handsโhis mouthโhis voice growling my name like I belonged to him. I buried my face in my hands, letting out a muffled scream.
Why the fuck did I let it get this far? Noโscratch that. Why the fuck did I even start touching myself in the first place?

God, if I hadnโt been so fucking horny, if I hadnโt let my body betray me, if I had just gone to sleepโhe wouldnโt have caught me like that. Sprawled out like a desperate mess. Moaning like a bitch in heat.
I cursed again, my throat burning. โFuck! What is wrong with me?โ The shame curled hot and tight in my chest as I paced the room like a caged animal. My legs were still shaking from the aftershocks. My skin still tingled from where his mouth had touched me. I could still feel the ghost of his teeth dragging along my inner thigh.
I bit down on my lip so hard I tasted blood. This wasnโt just a mistake. This was a goddamn catastrophe. I shouldโve slapped him. I shouldโve kicked him out the second he walked in and saw me like that. But noโI froze. And then I melted. Like a fucking idiot.
โNever again,โ I whispered to myself, gripping the headboard for support. โThis never happened. It didnโt happen. It didnโt fucking happen.โ But no matter how many times I repeated it, the ache between my legs and the scent of him lingering on my skin said otherwise.
I needed a cold shower. And maybe a punch in the face. Or five. God, I hate myself. And worseโI hate how much my body wants him again. Wants more. Fuck.
I stormed into the bathroom, not even bothering to grab a towel. I wanted to feel the cold. I deserved to feel it. Maybe if I froze my skin off, I could forget the feel of his hands all over me. I turned the tap, let the water run ice-cold, and stepped in without a second thought. The shock made me gasp, my breath catching in my throatโbut I stayed there, hands gripping the wall, letting the freezing water beat down on me.
I scrubbed at my skin like it had betrayed me. Like I could erase the heat he left behind. His hands on my waist. His mouth between my thighs. The low growl of my name as heโ
โNo!โ I snapped out loud, squeezing my eyes shut.

I grabbed the soap and scrubbed harder, furiously dragging it across my skin. Redness bloomed beneath my touch, but it wasnโt enough. I wanted to scrub deeper. I wanted to scrape off the part of me that had wanted him. Godโwhatโs wrong with me?
First Louis. Now Lennox. Two brothers. Two men who made it very fucking clear that I wasnโt what they wantedโat least not in the way that mattered. Louisโฆ at least was understandable. He was drugged, and I got a request out of him. But Lennox? He met me horny, pleasuring myself. How disgraceful.
How did I let it happen again? How did I let another man who doesnโt want me touch me like I mattered? A sob escaped my throat, and I bit down on my knuckles to keep from screaming. I felt used. Disgusting. Weak.
โFuck you, Lennox,โ I whispered, the tears falling freely now, mixing with the freezing water. Fuck you for looking at me like that. For touching me like I was yours. Like I meant something.
I pressed my forehead against the cold tile, letting the chill bite into my skin. And fuck me for letting it happen. For wanting it. I sank down to the shower floor, hugging my knees to my chest as the water kept falling.
No matter how hard I scrubbed, no matter how cold the water gotโI still felt him. On my skin. In my bones. And worst of all, in the part of me that ached for him. Even now. Even after everything. I was achingly pathetic.
I donโt know how long I stayed in the shower. The cold water kept pouring over me, but I couldnโt move. I felt empty, like something inside me had broken. Eventually, my skin started to sting, and I was shaking too much to stay there. I reached for a towel, dried off without looking in the mirror, and walked back to my room like a ghost. I didnโt want to see myself. I didnโt want to think.

I pulled on an old shirt, crawled into bed, and dragged the blanket over my body. I curled up as tight as I could, wishing I could disappear. โThis didnโt happen,โ I whispered into the darkness. I said it again. And again. Like maybe if I repeated it enough times, it would be true.
No Lennox. No touching. No mistake. Just me. Alone. โIt never happened,โ I whispered one last time. And then, with my heart aching and my mind spinning, I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
