Four years ago I lost my virginity on
live, streaming television.
Too bad I wasn’t awake for it.
The video went viral. Of course it
would. A Senator’s daughter on camera? Wouldn’t you click
“share”? Besides, that’s what three of the four guys in the
video did.
Share.
They shared me.
But that fourth guy? The nondescript
one in the background in the upper left corner of the screen, just
sitting on the couch? The only one who did nothing?
Not one single thing.
That was my boyfriend, Drew.
And that was the last time I saw him.
Until today, when my father—now on a
path to the White House—hired him as head of security for my new
team as I return home after four years of “recovering” in an
undisclosed location that involved white lab coats, needles, pills
and damage control.
You see, the other three guys never
went to jail. Never had charges pressed.
Never faced consequences.
Until today.
Game on.

A Harmless Little Game is the first in
this political thriller/romantic suspense trilogy by USA Today
bestselling author Meli Raine.
“I’m sorry,” he says. My ear is
pressed against his broad, hard chest. I feel the words more than I
hear them. The vibration and cadence make it clear he’s
apologizing. Heat radiates off him like he’s the sun and I’m in
his orbit.
I break away. I’m not his moon.
“You
should be sorry,” I snap, marching toward my destination, fighting
the soft ground. I don’t want to talk to him. I don’t want to do
this. Not now. Definitely not right now. I haven’t seen him for
four years. Four long, painful, horrible years. More than 1,400 days
of waking every morning knowing I wasn’t with him. Knowing he sat
there that night and did nothing while three men raped me. Degraded
me. Used and abused me and enjoyed it.
My body goes into
a full-blown supernova, skin on fire at the thought. My rage cannot
be contained by a mere mortal body.
I turn around. He’s
right there, following me.
“Go the fuck away, Drew. I
told you. I hate your guts. Leave me alone.”
At least,
I think that’s what I say. My mind can’t process words and
thoughts right now. I am fixated on the red door at the back entrance
of the house, the sprawling mansion that is the only home I’ve ever
known, aside from Daddy’s townhome in Washington D.C. If I can make
it to that red door without Drew touching me, if I can make it to my
bedroom and to my medications where I can take enough to fall asleep,
maybe I can get my brain to work again.
And stop the flood of emotions that are
making me crazy.
