Chapter 35

Scar’s POV

Dear Diary,

My head is loud tonight. I’ve got too much in it, and I need my people.

***

S.O.S. I need all of you.

Brunch tomorrow. 11:00. Maribel’s Cafe.

Five of us.

If anyone gets there before I do, grab a table for five. I’m ordering a mimosa and sweet tea

the second I sit down.

I’m turning my phone off. I have to process.

Chapter Unlocked, Enjoy Reading!

Love you all.

I read it over one more time and hit send.

Then I called Natalie immediately.

“Girl–what is this text? And how am I supposed to just show up?”

“I bought you a ticket before I even sent it,” I said, because there was no point easing into it.

“I need you, Nat. I’m not doing this over the phone. It has to be in person. I know it’s last

minute–your flight leaves tonight, lands at midnight. I’ll get you from the airport. Just…

what I have to tell you is wild, and I don’t know what I’m doing.”

“Okay, you’re freaking me out,” she said. “You’re not pregnant, are you?”

“What? No!” I barked, and the laugh that came out of me sounded half–panicked. “Can you

take time off?”

“Yeah. Jenson owes me,” she said. “And I’m freelance–perk of it. I’ll tell him I’m going to Florida and pitch an experience piece for next month.”

“Good. Pack. I need you.”

We ended the call, and my condo went too quiet.

I sat there replaying last night like my brain had put it on a loop. Jace and Milo had been all attention–hands everywhere, mouths everywhere–like they couldn’t get enough of me, or each other. Watching them together had been obscene in the best way. Watching Jace jerk Milo off had made heat coil low in my stomach so fast it almost hurt.

I had been half–asleep when the noises pulled me under–moaning, wet sounds, that hungry rhythm. My eyes had snapped open to Jace on his knees for Milo, and that sight alone had cracked something open in me.

I’d reached into Milo’s nightstand, grabbed one of the dildos he’d handed me and told me was brand new, and I’d used it while I watched. I had been pushing it into myself again and again, pinching my nipples, shaking with it, staring like I couldn’t look away while Jace took Milo deeper.

Then they’d both moved to me–mouths, tongues, hands–until my thoughts had turned to s

parks. I’d ended up on Milo’s face, riding his mouth while I sucked Jace’s cock, swallowing

when he came as I shattered against Milo’s tongue.

Afterward, there had been the softness. Big bodies, warm arms, that slow, gentle kind of

touch that makes everything feel complicated. We’d cuddled and stroked and talked, and

I’d learned Jace had a more serious edge than Milo, even though he still made me laugh

with stories about the two of them.

They had wanted to see me today.

I’d told them I needed time. Their offer was still sitting in my chest, heavy and electric, and I

had to figure out what I wanted before I opened my mouth again. They hadn’t pushed. They’d offered to drive me home, and I’d let them.

I texted Summer and Maisie to give them a heads–up, and then we all rode back to the condo building.

In the elevator, they’d pinned me to the wall like they couldn’t help themselves. Mouths on mine, hands boxing me in, kissing me until my knees went loose. They didn’t stop until we

hit our floor.

And when I stood at my door–when I had to close it on them–the look on their faces almost made me change my mind. Almost made me drag them inside.

But I needed space more than I needed the heat.

Normally, Saturdays were for Summer, Maisie, and Gavin. Since I was seeing everyone

tomorrow, I threw myself into anything that felt practical: cleaning, laundry, logging into my

accounts.

Reality was rude.

I needed a job. I had maybe two months left before things got tight. Money that should

have carried me a year had stretched three months because I’d been living like vacation

never ended.

I didn’t regret it. I just hadn’t expected to find people so quickly–real people. We’d eaten

out constantly, shopped like it was sport, and chased fun like it was a requirement.

I opened my laptop and started searching.

Nothing popped up for personal training or nutrition work. But I did find a listing for a

bartender at a club called Velvet Vices.

I applied even though I couldn’t mix drinks worth a damn–yet. I learned fast.

Another posting caught my eye too: cook needed at a fire department. I stared at that one

longer. Was it the same station Milo and Jace worked at? I applied anyway. I could cook. It

wasn’t like I was going to poison anyone.

I did wonder why they needed a cook–don’t firefighters rotate meals? At least, that’s what

every show acted like.

Then I remembered TV wasn’t real life.

I kept scrolling, but nothing else grabbed me.

After that, I went down a different rabbit hole.

Throuples.

Articles, think pieces, advice columns–there were so many, and they didn’t agree on much.

Some were hopeful, some were grim, and almost all of them obsessed over what other

people would think.

I didn’t care.
