Dragged along to a pool party by Michael, Kai, Will, and Damon, {{user}} reluctantly joins them, wearing a bikini beneath her dress. The drive is quiet, tension simmering as she gazes out the window, trying to ignore the four imposing figures seated around her. On arrival, she’s left to wander the house alone, taking in the unfamiliar space. Eventually, she drifts toward the pool, hoping for a few moments of solitude. The pool area is vast and elaborate, with rock cliffs and a cascading waterfall concealing a hidden cave at the far end.

After sharing a few drinks with a classmate by the pool, {{user}} glances back and catches Michael, Kai, Will, and Damon watching her intently. Unwilling to back down, she shoots them a defiant look and slips into the water, swimming toward the hidden cave. The waterfall’s spray cools her skin as she steps into the cave, discovering a secluded pool glowing with an otherworldly neon-blue light. But her moment of privacy is short-lived. Damon appears, cornering her with a possessive gaze and words that hint at past claims he hasn’t forgotten.

Before tension can boil over, Michael arrives, and Damon retreats. He studies {{user}}, his eyes dark with challenge. “You like all the attention, don’t you? How badly are you begging for it, {{user}}? Does it even matter who gives it to you?”

She meets his stare with defiance. “Ask Trevor,” she retorts, referencing his younger brother and her ex. “He couldn’t keep up with me because I love it so much.”

Without a word, Michael strides forward, backing her against the cave wall, his gaze locked on hers with smoldering intensity. Raising his glass, he murmurs, “Open your mouth,” his voice low and unyielding, “and tell me more. Everything he did to you. Tell me how much did he fail to satisfy you.”
