another university. He knew that one of the younger bikers was struggling with doing a 360-degree turn in the air. He also knew that there was only one vacant room left in the club, and that would likely be where Yuri would take her.
    And so he went one floor down and paused outside the door of Room 17. He heard voices inside the room and his stomach clenched in anger. He did not like knowing that Yuri was inside the room with the girl.
    Against all thoughts of common sense, Helios slowly found himself leaning towards the door to better hear what was being said.
    “A pretty name,” Yuri was saying.
    Helios’ face hardened when he heard Yuri say “A pretty name”. He had not thought Yuri was the type to dish out empty flattery but perhaps he thought too highly of the kid. What the hell was so pretty about MJ? They were just two letters.
    The door opened suddenly. 
    Helios immediately straightened but it was too late, judging by the way Yuri’s lips were twitching.
    “Do you have something to talk to me about?” Yuri asked.
    “No.”
    Yuri frowned. “Then you would like to talk to MJ?” 
    And just like that, Helios realized he had trapped himself. If he said no as well, then Yuri might think he had only come here to eavesdrop. Worse, Yuri might even hit upon the truth and realize Helios had come here because he didn’t like the idea of the two of them spending too much time together. 
    He hedged, “I do have something to discuss with her, but it is getting late so perhaps tomorrow—”
    “She did not seem sleepy at all,” Yuri assured him. He knocked on the door. “She’s very happy to be here, in fact, so I’m sure she will not mind any instructions you may have for her.”
    “How do you know she’s happy? Did she tell you?”
    Yuri said in his usual gently chiding voice, “Her secret crush is here, President. Of course she will be happy.”
    Smartass, Helios thought as he looked at the younger man’s retreating back. He should teach that boy some manners sometime, talking to him like—
    “ Helios ?”
    Fuck. He had forgotten Yuri had knocked on the door, and he had been so busy thinking thoughts of revenge that he hadn’t noticed the girl opening the door. Slowly, he turned to face her. This close, her eyes looked bigger, more trusting, and she was gazing at him with such wariness it made Helios grit his teeth. 
    She had not looked at Yuri with the same wariness, so why was she wary with him?
    “Call me President.” He snapped out the words before he could stop himself.
    MJ flinched at the harsh tone and mumbled, “I’m sorry, President.” He was mad at her again. Why was it that she always made him mad? She couldn’t even think of anything she had done wrong.
    She sounded scared of him now, which only made him more irritated. “I came here to warn you.”
    MJ blinked. Warn her?
    “Volunteers are here for one reason. To take care of the club’s needs. If the university had allowed us to hire outside help, we would have and there would be no need for volunteers at all. But we can’t and that’s why you are here. But I’m warning you – if I hear even one instance where you’re causing trouble or being a distraction to any of the club’s members, you’re out of here.”
    His golden eyes lanced hers. “Are we clear on that?”
    Extremely clear , MJ thought miserably. Just as it was extremely clear that for some reason, Helios Andreadis hated her.
    And so all she said quietly was, “Yes, sir.”
    Helios didn’t answer, and for one long moment they only gazed at each other. Tension vibrated from him, and if she had only been a little more experienced, a little less innocent, she would have known that one hint from her was all it would take for Helios’ tension to turn into passion. One hint, and he would have pushed MJ inside her room, taken her into his arms the way he ached to, and kissed her until she could no longer breathe.
    But she was not.
    All she knew was that the tension
