Page 88 of A Second Chance At Forever

“I agree.” I began moving against him to let him know how good of an idea it was.

He let out a small groan before he pulled me against his hard chest. “Keep teasing me like that and we won’t make it through the party,” he whispered in my ear. His breath blowing across my skin caused a chill to run up my spine. I moved my eyes to his to see the desire and want burning bright in his hooded eyes.

We danced awhileuntil we were both hot, thirsty, and tightly wound. We pulled apart to grab a drink and cool off. He led me to the kitchen, where he handed me a beer and took a soda out of the fridge.

I eyed him, wondering why he was drinking a soda.

He noticed and shrugged. “Not really in the mood to drink tonight.”

“You’ve already been drinking,” I pointed out.

“Other than that first shot, I’ve only had a couple of beers. I’m nowhere near drunk. I want to be sober for what I’m going to do to you later.” He offered me a wicked grin that made me squeeze my thighs together.

I was walkingthrough the living room when I heard a commotion that caught my attention. I followed the sound of the noise out the sliding glass door and out to the backyard where I found a pissed off Mason hauling Ashley to the front door.

“What’s going on?” Sarah asked coming up to stand beside me.

“Ashely crashed the party again.” I watched Mason walk past me pulling Ashley along with him. He walked her through the house and opened the front door. She looked up to him and said something I couldn’t hear before walking out willingly.

“I’ll be right back,” I told Sarah.

I walked around the house and to the front yard where I found Ashley getting into her car.

“Why do you keep doing this?” I asked her.

“I didn’t want to start trouble, I just wanted to hang out.”

“You really thought that Mason would be cool with that after what you did?”

“What I did?” she asked, sounding surprised.

“Ashley I know. I know you were the one who followed us around and took the pictures. Pictures that you released to the press and to Nicole. Do you even know how many problems you started with those pictures?”

She laughed. Fucking laughed.

“Because you released those pictures, Nicole faked a pregnancy and my psycho ex has found me. With him in town, someone will get hurt and that’s going to be on you.” I turned to walk away from her.

“You are so stupid. Chris isn’t in town, you know.”

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to look at her. She was leaning against the side of her car with her arms crossed. She smiled knowingly.

“How would you know?”

“I just know things.” She shrugged.

I didn’t want to feed into her bullshit, but I had to know. “If Chris isn’t in town, then who has been doing all the shit that has been happening?” I took a step toward her.

Suddenly her face paled and I knew, it was her.

“Are you the one that has been doing all this?”

She pulled her eyes away from mine to look at her feet.

I was filled with anger. Not only did she cause everyone unnecessary pain, but she almost killed Mason. She pointed Chris to my direct location and she could have killed Nicole. I wanted to throw her on the ground and beat her ass like I had years before, but I pushed the thoughts away.

After all the trouble she had caused she deserved more. She needed to pay for the things she had done. She needed to be arrested, she needed help. She obviously needed to be medicated.

Behind my back, I slipped my phone from my pocket and dialed Mason before sliding it back to my pocket.
