“Give the kinky bastard some smelling salts.”

The next thing I knew, the pungent aroma of ammonia sent me shooting straight up. I cracked open my eyes andimmediately shut them as it felt like a thousand tiny knives stabbing against my skull.

“Easy, boyo,” Callum’s voice said beside me.

What the hell was he doing here? He hadn’t been working tonight. It had just been me.

Wait, there was a gorgeous brunette, too.

Mya

Her name echoed through my aching head. Mya with the intoxicating smell. Mya with the mouthwatering curves. Mya asking me to dance.

And then everything came flooding back.

The dance floor.

My office.

Her soft curves.

Her nipples in my mouth.

Her arousal on my tongue.

Her pussy clamping around my cock like a vise.

Her walls fluttering and convulsing with her orgasms.

Cracking open one eye, my frantic gaze spun around the room searching for her.

“She’s gone,” Dare answered from my other side.

Groaning, I rubbed my head. “What happened?”

“You were drugged,” Callum said.

I frowned. “But I didn’t take anything.”

“You didn’t willingly. You were given ketamine,” Quinn answered.

“I was?”

Quinn nodded. “We found the discarded needle.”

As the realization crashed down on me, my heart twisted in my chest. I pinched my eyes shut in a different pain this time. There was only one person who could've possibly drugged me.

Mya.

The weight of her deception caused the ache in my chest to grow, and I found it harder and harder to breathe. Part of me welcomed the suffocation. Death would end the agonizing pain of Mya’s betrayal. Not to mention the humiliation.

The first woman I’d had a true connection with in months had betrayed me in the worst possible way. And now all of my older brothers were here to experience my degradation firsthand.

When I tried sitting up, the room spun me around like I was on a crazed merry-go-round. “Fuck,” I rasped.

“Easy now,” Quinn ordered.

Leaning forward, I buried my head in my hands. As the room continued spinning, so did my thoughts. Each revelation was like a knife piercing my skin.
