Chapter 25
Overview
Stopping near Cleveland on the way to Michigan, Ace’s jealousy toward Keres and Nathan boils over. Keres, Ace, and Romeo engage in a rough, consensual sexual encounter that exposes their mutual attraction and power dynamics. In the aftermath, Ace realizes Keres could emotionally ruin him, raising stakes for their mission and alliance.
Summary
Outside Cleveland, the group stops for the night. Ace seethes with jealousy over how warmly Keres treated Nathan, the attorney who aided them. When Keres mutters an insult, Ace grabs her, and their mutual antagonism ignites into physical escalation.
Spun between anger and desire, Ace pins Keres against his bike. Keres resists verbally yet doesn’t pull away when given a clear chance to stop, and the encounter turns consensual. Romeo watches, then steadies the bike and participates after Keres responds to him.
Amid the intensity, Ace checks for a stop signal to maintain consent. Keres continues, and the three push their volatile attraction into a shared, rough encounter that channels their pent-up emotions—jealousy, resentment, and need.
As they finish, Ace is hit by clarity: his feelings for Keres, despite his anger, are dangerously strong. He recognizes she could emotionally destroy him, even as they all remain committed to the mission in Michigan.
