Chapter 0178
But his eyes were crystal focused now. Whatever fire that had sparked there had been well contained. He was pulling himself back under control, and I felt cold, mourning the loss
He didn’t apologize, thank God, but he didn’t say anything else either. No explanations. No words of comfort or cruelty
Looking at me, he swallowed hard. Then, finally, he said, “Return to your room, Piper.” His voice was still lust–rough. He cleared it but did not speak again.
He’d made it sound like an order, and not a S**y one. His words were like a bucket of cold water dumped over my head.
I opened my mouth to say something, I honestly wasn’t sure what, when he abruptly turned and all but ran from me. He disappeared into his room, the door closed and locked behind him.
I stood staring after him, trying to collect myself after everything that happened. In the end, I simply felt
abandoned.
Confused and embarrassed, I returned to my room. If Mark noticed my disheveled state of dress, he did not mention it. Good, since it was likely his fault, Nicholas had known to look for me at all. If Mark said something now, I’d likely reply with a cutting remark I didn’t mean and would regret.
The person I was truly hurt by was Nicholas, not Mark. But I was ready to lash out at just about anyone.
Except Elva.
I went to her side to check on her. She was still sleeping peacefully.
Finally, I exhaled and slunk down onto the mattress beside her. Here, in the safety of my room with the
knowledge of Elva safe and happy, I could reflect on whatever the hell had just happened between me
and Nicholas.
My b*dy had ignited when Nicholas had touched me, and I couldn’t blame nostalgia for it this time Before, our intimacy had been shy and experimental. This had been all heat and passion, and even a little
rough. And I loved it.
I had wanted him to continue so badly, I nearly begged for it. I might have, had we gone on longer.
I was a mess.
I only went out to try to find Julian and convince him to save me during the next elimination. Instead, I ended up dry humping Nicholas against his door.

didn’t want a one and done with Nicholas. I wanted him for life. A dangerous, impossible prospect.
I needed to get my head on straight. I needed to put my selfish personal desires back on the shelf where they belonged. This competition was more than just my wants. My life was more than just what I
wanted.
I had an obligation to Elva. I couldn’t make selfish choices anymore. I had a daughter.
So whatever Nicholas unlocked in me tonight, needed to be locked up again.
I had to put him totally out of my mind.
But as I pressed my fingers against my l*ps, I didn’t know how I would ever be able to forget the passion
ie had shown me tonight.
I wondered if he was still thinking of me, too.
tolop thinking about k*ssing Piper.
after I had escaped to my rooms, the moment I closed the door separating us, I pressed my ehead against the cool wood and felt myself burn.
Her b*dy had been on fire against mine, the curve of her ass plush in my hands. Her hips had been so aight around my waist, beckoning me into the depths of her most sensitive parts.
She had made me wild. If we hadn’t been in that hallway where anyone could come across us, I might have stripped her bare and taken my fill of her b*dy until we both would be sated.
I could give her pleasure that Julian could not. He was such an asshole, he was likely a selfish lover.
With Piper, I would give everything and then some. I’d want her to come twice before I even thought of entering her. I’d have her on my fingers and on my mouth. I’d lavish her clit with my tongue until she could
only moan or cry my name.
In my grief of losing Piper, I had fallen into bed with other women. None of it meant anything, but I had
learned from the experience.
I knew the female b*dy well, much more so than when I had touched Piper in the past. Now, I knew the
places to touch and how to caress them so that I could make a woman scream.
With Piper, I wanted to use everything I had learned, like it had all been a practice just to learn how to
drive her wild.
If I had her in this room right now, I would-
e wasn’t one I
I slammed the door on those thoughts. Piper was a candidate in the competition, and she could pick even if I wanted to. We were destined to be apart for the rest of our lives.
