Burning Ultimatum (Trevor's Harem #4) Read Online Free Page A

doesn’t want to do. Desire trumps all. It’s the superpower that all of you were supposed to have. It’s why we gave you so many outlets. Made you comfortable enough to explore. Never persuaded or forced.”  
    I think of the mind games. I’m not sure that’s true.
    “She’s not bisexual. She actively dislikes men sexually, Bridget. It all became clear once we started … ” He trails off.  
    “After you started spying.”
    “Researching,” Trevor clarifies. “Research that was unforgivably missed. Kat kept an excellent disguise in place. But she has a hard history. It looks like she was raped repeatedly, and unwillingly coerced many other times. She seems to have shared straight porn with her boyfriend but kept her true affairs strictly to the flesh.”  
    I don’t know what that means, and don’t want to ask.  
    “Bridget.”  
    Trevor puts his hand on my arm, but I shake it away. I’m so frustrated. So angry. Trevor acts like my friend, but he cut Kat. I have no friends.  
    “Bridget, there was no choice. Keeping her wouldn’t have been fair to Kat. And it would have contradicted the purpose of everything we’re trying to do.”
    I look back at him. I stand. My eyes are wet with fury, but I’m wearing an angry smile.
    “What?” he says.  
    “They got you. They got all of you.”  
    “Who?”  
    “Kylie. Kat was a threat to her. Do you know about her and Caspian White?”  
    “No. What do you mean?”  
    “I guess we’ll never know, will we? I could tell you. I could even tell Caspian. But something tells me it won’t ring true without Kat to back me up. Something tells me convenient lies and excuses have already been put in place. She’s always ten steps ahead, isn’t she? After all, that’s her fucking superpower , isn’t it?”  
    “Bridget, what are you talking about?”  
    “And Jessica. Because second place wasn’t good enough for her. She wants to win it all. Is that what Kylie promised her? That she could come in first place once Kat was gone?” I give a cynical little smile. “I guess we’ll see what Kylie’s promises are worth with a knife in Jessica’s back.”  
    “You’re making too much of this. Once I learned Kat’s situation, I took care of it. It was just me. Nobody else — not Kylie, not Jessica.”  
    Then it hits me. My hand goes over my mouth, and I actually laugh.
    “Oh my God,” I say.  
    “What?”  
    “They’re playing you, too.”  
    “Nobody’s playing me.”  
    I sit back down. I can’t help myself. I grab Trevor by the upper arms and look him right in his sweet, almost innocent eyes.  
    “This is about you, Trevor. Not me, not the contest, not the company. You . Kat was eliminated because you never had a choice. She backed you into it.”  
    “Who?” He’s getting annoyed, his face twisting.  
    “This whole thing is on you. It’s your name. Your company. Everything is being done for Trevor Stone.”  
    “So?”  
    “So if it fails? If it goes horribly wrong? If someone can convince some other people that certain big-name billionaires should be squeezed out?”  
    “You’re being ridiculous.”  
    But I’m not. I see it clear as day.  
    Trevor stands, brushing off with an air of finality, as if these last thirty seconds have made him sorry for coming to see me.  
    “Trevor … ”  
    He meets my eyes with a hard stare — no matter what I say next, our discussion is over.  
    “I came here because I care about you, Bridget. That hasn’t changed.”  
    I don’t know what else to do, so as my shoulders sag, I nod.  
    “Are you leaving today?”  
    That was the plan, yes. But now I’m not so sure. If I leave, it’ll just be Jessica, Kylie, and Daniel versus Trevor. The three against one that’s also leveled against me. But I could stick around. I could keep being a wrench in the machine. The one question that nobody, no matter how honest they are, will answer is the biggest of all: Why am I still
