Her brows pull together, but she doesn’t try to move away. “What happened to you not making unilateral decisions?”

My laugh is humorless. “You’ve got to be kidding. I assumed you’d see the reason in not playing for a madman. One who knows you’re with me.”

“It’s the world’s most famous club, Harrison. I’ll be on stage. There’s nowhere safer.” Her chin juts out at me.

My abs clench, and the next breath I take is ragged. “I won’t sit idly by and watch you risk yourself for your career,” I whisper against her throat.

Raegan pulls back to look in my eyes. “You do it every day.”

That’s a low blow. A reminder there’s a double standard.

But I inherited this rivalry—she didn’t.

Last year, she was never in danger. Now, not only is she in Ibiza and playing for a monster, but he knows she’s mine. And there’s nothing the man lives for more than taking away what’s mine.

Minutes ago, I was handing this off to law enforcement and looking at our future. But I need to finish this first, and our timeline just shortened. I won’t let Rae play La Mer, not as long as that man owns it.

I can’t change her mind. I see it in the tilt of her chin, the warning in her eyes.

She’s the one forcing my hand.

Raegan starts to pull away, hurt. I don’t let her.

I lean in and thread my fingers into her hair, pressing my lips to her forehead. After a beat, her arms go around me.

I breathe her in, my heart a thudding against my ribs.

I will end him. I swear to God.
