“I couldn’t tell her that, dumbass,” I shot back.

The idea of him forgetting Lily and hooking up with Jenna still had me feeling irritated. He could deny it all he wanted. I knew Damien, and I knew what I’d seen.

“No. I meant you reassured her that there was nothing wrong with her having fun with three dudes,” Damien volleyed back.

“Yeah, of course.”

“And how’d she take it?” Jace asked.

“She admitted she wanted to do it again.” The words trailed off my tongue without the caution I’d secretly felt in my gut.

“Again?” Damien’s eyes lit up with excitement.

I could almost see the wild thoughts crashing into one another in his mind.

A knot of unease formed in my stomach. “Yeah.”

Jace inched closer, looked at me and then at Damien. “I’m down if you two are.”

“Fuck, yeah. I want her sweet little ass next time. I never did get to fully explore it.” Damien licked his lips.

“Do you have to talk about her like that?” I bit out, disgusted at what a pig he was.

Damien really got under my skin.

“Shut the fuck up, Watts. Don’t act like you’re some kind of saint in all of this. You fucked her just as rough and raw as the two of us.” He shot back. “If I remember correctly, you buried that big cock into her pussy right along with the rest of us when she was passed the fuck out. Not only did I watch you come inside her, I fucked into the mess you made too, so take your fucking halo off.”

I grunted at his words. Damien was right. I was just the as bad as the two of them, if not worse, since Lily trusted me with her darkest secret, oblivious to the fact I was one of the guys she wanted to see again.

“I’m not doing it. You can go fuck yourself.” I directed my anger toward Damien.

“You’re really going to deny our girl what she wants because you’re nothing but a pussy?” Damien snarled and shoved into me.

“You don’t deserve her. You didn’t deserve to have her before and you don’t get to have her again, asshole!” I pushed him away from me.

“You two are going to attract attention. How about everyone calms down and we meet up later to discuss it properly.” Jace moved to stand between us. “I get off from training at seven, meet me at Giano’s at eight. Agreed?”

“Fine,” I replied.

“Sure.” Damien backed away from me. “You better be there, Watts.” He shoved his way past me and headed toward the art building.

Fucking asshole.

“I know it seems fucked up, but she wants it, Caleb. She told you as much. She fucking showed us. You saw the way she came. Just…relax, man.”

“I don’t want to lose her,” I admitted fiercely.

A pain expression crossed his face. “I get it. We won’t. Just… think about it all, OK?”

I nodded as he clapped me on the shoulder and walked to the locker rooms. Sighing, I wandered back to the main campus, my mind alive with worries.

I had hours to kill and mull over my decision before I met back up with Jace and Damien. I just needed to make sure I avoided Lily until then. One look from her and I’d be even more confused about what to do.

“Adams, get it together,” Coach Higgins shouted at me for missing a catch.
