for the final note and Trever and I leaned into each other. My head was tilted back and I put my lips up into his while everyone else clapped their hands for the dance. It was―surprisingly pleasant.
    “You act better than I expected.”
    “Well, it helped that you kiss better than I expected.”
    Trever just kept his smile. “Let’s sit. You should eat.”
    “I can’t!” I snatched my words, stopping him from going anywhere. “Let’s dance again.”
    We started again with the new music.
    “What’s wrong with you?”
    “Izin hates me. That’s why he’s pushing this.”
    “Oh, don’t let him bother you. Zayden will come to you and he’ll fix it but on the off chance something happens, you might need to use this.”
    He carefully slipped me two vials and I only glanced at them while tucking them away. “What is it?”
    “Zayden’s blood and a little something extra.”
    “Show him? Will it work?”
    “Couldn’t hurt to try. Things will work out, Adele. You’ll see.”
    I just sighed and quickly looked in Zayden’s direction. He was just staring right at me as I danced with Trever and so was everyone else at the table. It was only a moment later that they all started to get up and join us on the floor. Even Zayden did but he had Bianca on his arm.

    My eyes beamed in Adele’s direction every time she came into view. I wanted to be with her but I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
    “Here.” Bianca stopped us with a smile and tapped Adele’s shoulder. Adele turned around and was almost surprised to see us. “May we cut in?”
    Trever smiled as he took Bianca’s hand and pulled her away from me. “Of course!”
    They started dancing and left Adele and I here, looking at each other. It was a little awkward but I smiled and held out my hand. “Shall we then?”
    Adele smiled and I pulled her close, putting my hand around her waist and she put her arm up on my shoulder. We slowly started to dance and I still couldn’t take my eyes off her even when she was in front of me.
    “What? Just say it.” Adele said. “You should know that meant nothing. It was his idea. I just—”
    “No. I don’t care. You look beautiful, if you don’t mind me saying to change the subject?”
    Adele tried to hold back from smiling but failed. “Oh, no. This time I don’t. Your mother picked the dress. It’s beyond me.”
    “No.” I disagreed entirely and looked down at her breasts almost exposed from the front of the dress. “It’s perfect.”
    “Zayden, I’m up here.”
    “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just felt like days since I’ve seen them.”
    “I fear it will be longer than days.”
    “I will fix this. I promise. If it’s the last thing I do, I will have you.”
    “That would be heroically pointless to fight for me so hard that it kills you, Zayden.”
    “It was an expression, Love. I don’t want this. I want you.”
    Adele’s smile faded. “I’m not the one you have to convince.”
    I looked up towards the main table and saw my father’s glare in my direction. I had to look away and it was easy when Bianca and Trever moved between us. I knew I had to confront him at some point but I wasn’t ready yet. With Adele here now, I didn’t want to let her go.

    “Why’d you do it, Bee?”
    I looked at Adele and Zayden dancing then let out a light sigh when I looked up at Trever. “Why’d you kiss her?”
    “That is not what this is about.”
    “I can’t do this. Did you see the way he looked at her? They belong together. I don’t want to get in between them.”
    “I thought we talked about it last time I was here. It’s the only way you’ll be free of your brother.”
    “I know but maybe I don’t care about that anymore.”
    “Of course you do! Bee, I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
    “Oh, so you’ll let Adele get so angry at me that she kills me instead?”
    Trever sighed
