that to the mix. I can’t believe I was so stupid. Right up until he left with those women, I believed him. Believed he liked kissing me, and holding my hand. If I’d been thinking clearly, I would’ve realized he wanted someone to hold another part of his anatomy.
    Not me, though. He never even hinted at that with me. Stupid. I’m so damn stupid.
    I need to talk to someone, and of course, Ken is the first person who comes to mind. He’s also the last person I can call to talk about something like this. I could call Matisse, because Lord knows, she’s not the least bit shy about her sexuality, but she’d tell Ken, and then he’d fly out here and yeah, not what I need to happen on my first mission.
    I thumb through my phone, and call the person I’m supposed to call if anything happens on the mission that I can’t handle. Isa didn’t sign on to help a virgin with her non-existent sex life, but here I am, calling her just the same.
    “Wave, is everything okay?”
    “Not really.”
    “What happened?”
    “It’s not the mission. I mean, it is, but it isn’t.”
    “What did he do?”
    “Who?”
    “There’s only one man you’d be calling me about, and I can hear you sniffling.”
    “I shouldn’t have called. This isn’t your job.”
    “Oh yeah, this is definitely being part of the Society. If you were here, we’d be bringing you ice cream and booze.”
    “I don’t want to be that girl. The stupid one who’s crying over a man.”
    “We’ve all been that girl. Now, go ahead and spill.”
    “I’ve been kissing him.”
    “When did it start?”
    “Is that important?”
    “For the betting pool, yeah.”
    “You all bet on me kissing Knox? Oh my God.”
    Could this get any more embarrassing? I’ve worked at the Society for a few years, so I know they’re all a little out of hand sometimes, and play jokes on each other. I should’ve expected this, I guess, but I’ve always been on the edge of their group, so I didn’t.
    “This is us. Are you really surprised after all you’ve seen in the hospital wing?”
    “No, but I…I didn’t think I’d be part of all your craziness.”
    “Welcome to the madness. Now come on, when was it?”
    I sigh, and give up the information she wants. “The first night we got here.”
    “Dammit. I thought it would be on the plane. That means Aiden won. He’s going to be insufferable.”
    Despite my current situation, I burst out laughing. “Sorry about that, boss.”
    “It’s all good. I was closest after him. Now, what happen to turn things around.”
    “Well, like I said, we’ve been kissing all week. Just kissing. And talking. We hold hands, too.”
    “This is sounding like a good thing.”
    “It was, and now it isn’t.”
    “There’s a party going on?”
    “Ainsley told you.”
    “Her team reported it, and it’s on my tablet. I just brought up the feed, and wow, those are a lot of bikinis.”
    “I’m not wearing a bikini.”
    “You rocked the ones Stella gave you, so why not? Not that you have to wear one, but I’m curious by nature. If you hadn’t guessed that already.”
    Everyone knows that about Isa. It’s why she has multiple college degrees. “I guess I didn’t want what I was wearing or not wearing to matter.”
    “It shouldn’t, but let me guess, it somehow did.”
    “He was talking to me, and he said I looked good and he loved kissing me.”
    “So far it seems like he was doing things right.”
    “Then some women came up and said he promised to swim with them.”
    “Oh-kay, and he just went with them?”
    “Yep. I mean, I may have glared a little, but he went.”
    “I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate for a minute, okay?”
    “Yeah.” I need help, and even if I don’t like what I hear, I need to hear it.
    “Knox gets kicked around in the press for being a player. He goes along with it, but I didn’t see him being like that when he was here. He was flirty, yes, but he didn’t bring anyone to the apartments, and from
