The sound of the note bouncing on the piano, I said. There's nothing better in this world than hearing the note bounce. It is, truly immaculate. I know it's silly. But it is my favorite thing in this world.

In the four horsemen's penthouse, there's a gigantic piano. A grand piano. I've never played on one. We always play on digital pianos. It's a great feeling and I can't even imagine what it would feel like to play on this one.

It is five am and I am deliberately wondering if I should play. I would wake them all up but, I can't help myself.

I sit on this luxury bench and breathe. A smile is plastered on my face, I can't stop it.

My feet step on the pedals, making sure I can reach them.

Does one of them play? I don't see why they would have a piano otherwise. Or maybe they just love luxury, It wouldn't surprise me.

I am about to play a lullaby when a hand grips my wrist. I gasp at the sudden touch until I meet his eyes. Will tugs on my hand and I stand up?

I just wanted to play.

''What are you doing?'' he whispers and drops my wrist. I glance at the piano and Will pulls me in. He strokes my arms before taking me by the waist. My chest touches his and I hiss. I hate the way he makes me feel.

I dare to look up at him and I recognize this look. It's like we understand each other and we don't even have to talk. I press my lips together which makes him smirk.

''Wanna go back to sleep?'' I shiver as he cups my cheeks.

I know we are not involving him in what we've planned because I want him. But, it won't work. I can see it from a thousand miles away.

Something is going to fail.

There's a flee.

This loophole is Will and me.

I push him and try to walk away. If we need this to work, they need me on their side. I am supposed to choose them, not him. I've made my choice already. Yet, I have betrayed them and I there's no turning back. At least, I can still try to push him away.

''Babydoll, if you run, it'll make things way worse for you when I catch you'' he reaches for my waist and we tumble on the couch. He falls on top of me and my heart races every time his eyes meet mine.

''I like this position'' he murmurs. He's still looking deeply at me and he doesn't try anything. I wish he would move or touch me. I am so caught up in this. I can't run away now.

It's too late.

I feel foolish.

''Can I kiss you to sleep?'' My heart is railing and I can't deny my heart.

I don't give him an answer.

I initiate it all, though. Our lips collapse together, hungrier than ever. I grab a fist of his hair and press him closer to me. I moan into his mouth and let myself go. Will hooks a finger under my chin while his other hand is working its way under his shirt. He stops the kiss by taking his shirt off and he quickly moves his mouth over my neck. I arch my back and watch his chest. I can't see his whole torso but I can tell, he's fucking jacked.
