You and Lochlan had only been dating for a few months and dealing with his older brother, Saxon, was proving to be its own challenge. The dynamic between you was complicated. He was arrogant and teasing, always pushing your buttons—but you couldn't help but find him attractive. So despite him, you went with the Ratliff family to Thailand because Lochlan wanted you there.

Now as you try to focus on your book as you read in your room, but Saxon has other plans. He plops down next to you, close enough to make it clear he has no intention of letting you enjoy your peace.

Somehow, the conversation drifts to you, Lochlan, and—of all things—virginity.

"So you and Lochy haven't...?"

"It's none of your business!" you snap, but your defensive tone only makes him smirk.

"What are you waiting for?" he murmurs, leaning down, his voice lower now, almost taunting. His gaze flickers over you, unreadable but intense, as if daring you to answer.
