“You’re Theo’sbest friend. Why are you telling me this?” I breathed as I held onto the side for support.
“I guess I just want you to know.”
We’d moved closer together, but I tore my eyes away from his.
Theo. I love Theo.
“I need to go, Jax.”
I pushed past him as I stumbled, caught by his brawny arms as he held me upright.
“How are you getting home?” Jax asked, frowning as I waved to get Mara’s attention.
“Henry is driving us—”
“Um, Henry isn’t. He’s intoxicated.” He pointed out, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Henry, who was now up against the wall with Mara.
I groaned as I pulled Mara out from under him, signaling to Henry that we were leaving.
“Hannah, I’m sorry,” Jax murmured as he caught my hand. I gazed down at it, wondering what could’ve been if he had put his needs before Theo’s.
I adore Theo and always have.
“Me too,” I gulped as we stepped outside, hailing a cab.
Jax refused to leave us and insisted on making sure it dropped us off first.
What a gentleman.

HANNAH
Iwoke to hands running down my spine, followed by soft kisses. Groaning happily, I arched my back as I heard the gruff voice speak.
“Where the fuck were you last night?”
My eyes snapped open, the mascara still holding them together as I blinked, trying to force them apart. I turned my head to see Theo gazing at me, his jaw clenched.
My head swam with alcohol. I tried to piece together the end of the night, sitting up as I realized my clothes were still on- boots included.
I groaned when a wave of nausea hit, and Theo tutted, handing me a cold bottle of water. He wore shorts and a tank, his hair held back by sunglasses as he studied me.
“Seriously, Hannah. Where were you? You worried me. You never texted me back.”
“I’m sorry,” I exhaled, glancing at my phone beside my bed. “I went to a club.”
Theo’s eyes narrowed as he frowned, sitting upright as he lifted my chin.
“You bad girl. Which one?”
“Diagon.”
I bit my lip when he drew me onto him, making me squeal.
“No, shit? Jax was there last night. Did you see him?” Theo asked, his hands positioning me on his groin as I felt him harden beneath me. “Actually, I don’t give a fuck. Did you go wearing this? You hot bitch.”
He pushed my tank up as I suddenly remembered Jax’s confession. I stopped Theo, swallowing as his eyes met mine.
