“The pauper bows to the princess, Colt. You’d do well to remember that.”
His gaze hardened. “Lacey needs to go back where she came from. For all of our sakes.”
“Because you’re beautiful. I feel like I’m always staring at you, even though I know I shouldn’t be.”
“You’re really cute, you know that?” He raised an eyebrow. “Cute?” “Mmm-hmm,” I murmured, gaze dropping to his lips. “Cute.” He grinned, his white teeth sparkling, then brought one hand to the back of my head and pulled me down. “Not as cute as you, princess.”
“You like me, huh?” Rafe grinned. “Maybe.”
“I love it. Your brother obviously doesn’t know how to win my heart.” Banjo went quiet. “Is that what I’m doing?”
“Thing is, Colt,” I said quietly, my voice as deadly as his was. “You can try, but I’m not breakable.”
What did it matter how we got rid of Lacey? All I knew was that I couldn’t be around her. Not then. Not now. Not ever.
SVHF. Saint View High Football. I stared up at Banjo, blood draining from my face.
“Everybody lies, princess. Some of us are just better at not getting caught.” I glanced at Rafe sharply.
“Be good to our girl.” My heart thumped. Our girl. Was that what I was? Warmth kindled inside me when Banjo nodded.
“What’s changed since then? Got feelings for me, princess?”
“I like you,” I whispered, suddenly realizing how deep my emotions ran. “A lot. So yeah, Banjo. Yeah. I’ve got feelings for you. A lot of them.”
I was falling for him. There was no doubt about it.
This boy I could fall in love with.
“You’re perfect, you know that?” he said, kissing my shoulder. “We are,” I corrected. “We’re perfect.” In that moment, I believed it.
“You really don’t remember, do you?”
You can’t trust them.”
“I love you, Banjo.”
It would be hours later before I realized Banjo had never said I love you back.
