He grabs a cigarette, offering one to me.
Not five seconds later a firm grip locks my hip in place and hot breath hits my neck making me jump. “You shouldn’t be here.” Maddoc. “I was invited.” I roll my eyes.
He whispers, “I’m not talking about the party. I’m talking about where you’re standing.” “Why not?” “Listen.” My brows draw in, but after a moment I hear it. Soft giggles and quiet laughter, followed by the clear sound of a sultry kiss.
Maddoc pushes closer.
Maddoc’s grip on my hips tightens
“She’s almost there ...” he rasps against the back of my ear and I shiver against him.
“They’re there, Raven...” he breathes
Maddoc feathers his fingers across my skin
“Royce says you’re sneaking out at night.”
Course he did.” “Who you fucking?” “Wow.” I roll my eyes,
“Tell me.” He tips his head slightly, the scuff of his chin scra...

“It’s not your concern.” “The fuck if it isn’t. You’re mine to play with.” “According to who, you?” “Damn straight.” “But I was ‘released’ from your little threesome, remember?” I glance over my shoulder,
He pushes into me
“You’re mine if I say you are, you’re trash when I decide I’m done. And I’m standing here telling you I changed my mind. I’m n...

His grip on my hip tightens a moment before a burst of wind hits my back.
And he’s wearing a backward fucking hat tonight.
I must show my appreciation for the ruler in front of me, because the corner of his mouth lifts slowly.
Captain saunters up right then, whispering in Maddoc’s ear and instantly, his mask is back in place.
“I have eyes on you, Raven. Don’t do anything stupid,” he tells me. “The fuck ever that means.” He walks c...

He brushes his chest against me. “It means keep your legs closed to our guests.” “I’ll do my...

From what I can tell, it’s the only thing they even give two shits about other than each other.
I owe them nothing, have no loyalties to honor. Nothing at all ties me to these boys and the stupid shit they do.
“Let her go now, Raven,” Maddoc tells me.
“Raven.” My head snaps up at the rough command and I freeze.
I let her go and slowly push to stand.
I spin on my heels, speed walking down the dirt path. I ignore their yells when they call me back and keep moving forward.
This is the least I’ve fought in the last two years and shit’s building up inside me. Anger and resentment I hide until I can’t, a numbness I crave but can’t find without rage to kick start it. And they just saw it.
I was there, those people were playing foul, and it irritated me. There’s nothing that gets me going worse than a vindictive piece of shit willing to sell someone out, ruin shit for someone else, for personal gain. It’s weak and pathetic.
If they lose what they’re working toward, it needs to be because they stole it from themselves. Not at the hands of anyone else.
It doesn’t take long for one of those familiar SUVs to pull up beside me. The door is pushed open, revealing Vienna sitting there with wide eyes, so I slip in.
All three boys are inside as well,
Captain speaks. “Go through the front door, don’t worry about being seen.” I don’t question him and neither does Vienna. We simply do what he says. And it works.
What in the hell is happening? “I’ll tell you what’s happening.” I jerk,
“Why are you here?” I frown. He grins. “Not happy to see me, RaeRae?” “Don’t you have a class to be in or somethin’?” “I’m in it.” “No,” I drawl out slowly. “You’re not.” He winks then waves a pink slip of paper over his head. “Mr. Bell, got something for ya.”
“Transfer form.”

A few minutes pass and then Royce’s hot breath hits my neck. “You wanna know what’s going on?” he whispers.
“You had our backs. Again. And not because you had to, RaeRae.”
“Guess what that means?” he asks
“It means you’ll be under our watch, constantly. Every move you make, we’ll know about. Every word spoke, we’ll likely hear. You’ll show your cards soon enough. And we’ll be around when you do. Know wh...

“It makes everyone here think we’ve claimed you,
It’ll be different from when they thought you were our toy, that was basically like a test drive – can she work a stick or can’t she.
but if they want to play, they’ll have to ask our permission first. You know, ‘cause you’ll b...

“They’ll all love to hate you.”
“Trust no one now, RaeRae. This is when the fakes come out to play.”
escaping as quickly as possible once the bell rings, but Royce’s maniacal little chuckle when I do should have been my warning, because as soon as I’m seated in my next class, tool number two saunters in, glasses still on and all.
I stare Captain down, knowing he’s watching me behind his dark lenses. “Is this necessary?” He nods,
He seems the most sensible of the three, or at least the one more likely to let me speak even if it does go in one ear and out the other.
“You don’t know shit! Pretend it was your idea. Tell them ... I don’t know, that you used me to get what you needed and then broke my poor little heart.” Captain scoffs,
