Nate’s hard gaze cut from me to Heath, then over to Royce and Carter before he released my wrist with an abrupt motion. “I see we’re all straight back to simpering over my stepsister again. Silly me for thinking you had more self-respect, Ashley.” My jaw dropped. “Excuse you? Self-respect? You blocked them in my phone!” Nate shrugged, apparently totally unapologetic. “Okay…and so you thought the first opportunity you got, you’d go begging for attention and asking why no one had contacted you? Kinda pathetic, don’t you think?”
