“We did. I mean, I’m not opposed to it, but it’s cool if you don’t. I’ll figure out how to get her back.”

“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry you guys split. You seemed good together. She’s a sweetheart.”

“She is,” I agreed, glancing in her direction again. Brandon had joined her. That little gold mask elite prick I couldn’t stand. I ground my teeth as he reached out and tucked a long lock of her hair behind her ear. Her cheeks flushed, making me see red.

Cameron followed my gaze, his eyes widening.

I made to surge forward, but he quickly got in front of me to stop me.

“Easy, man. We don’t need fights and shit here. I’ll go talk to him.” He pressed his hands into my chest to hold me back.

I gave him a stiff nod as he backed away, his worry clear on his face. I didn’t want to cause problems and get the cops called, but I’d be damned if I let that little fuck touch my girl.

“What’s he doing with her,” Damien’s growl sounded out in my ear. Apparently, he’d seen what I’d seen.

“Looking to get his ass beat,” I answered back, watching as Cameron tried to pull Brandon’s attention away from Lily. It wasn’t going well because Olivia was all over Cam, making it hard for him to stay focused as he kept trying to engage Brandon in conversation.

Damien pulled his phone out and typed out a message.

“I’ll kill him,” I said, glaring at Brandon as he turned his attention back to Lily who seemed to not mind as she answered him and even laughed at something he said.

“Not if I kill him first.” Damien stood at my side, both of us watching the pair.

We needed Caleb here. He’d be able to be close and fix this shit.

For the first time in my life, I truly wished he was here and even sent out a silent prayer he showed up before I really did commit a murder.

Chapter 27

Caleb

Damien: Brandon is here touching our girl. You going to just fuck off and let us kill him or you coming to help?

Istared down at the message on my phone, my breathing coming quickly. I’d struggled hard when Lily started dating Jace. To watch her kiss and be kissed by another man when I loved her had torn me up inside. Now I could handle Jace, but Brandon?

Fuck no. That guy was a grade A douche.

Add to it the fact I knew she was considering sleeping with someone tonight to try to forget what I’d done with her and the guys meant I was beside myself.

It didn’t take me long to come to a decision.

If she wasn’t fucking me tonight, then she wasn’t going to fuck anyone.

It was a thought that spurred me on, my anger in the driver’s seat as I got to my feet and went to my door, grabbing my keys along the way.

When I got outside to my car, I glanced to the mask I’d left on the front seat. I hadn’t spoken to Lily since she’d kissed me. Itwas wrong of me to pursue this, considering the shit she’d said to me about it being gross to kiss me, but fuck it.

Brandon would only hurt her. He wasn’t a good guy.

Not like I was one to talk, but at least my intentions were good, even though they weren’t the purest.

I backed out of my driveway and drove to Cameron’s place, knowing he lived in one of the mansions on the edge of town. I cut the engine and got out of the car and made my way into the house as fast as I could.

I didn’t bother looking for Jace and Damien. Lily was my sole focus.

I spotted her by the keg with dick face standing too close, reaching out every now and then to touch her for no apparent reason other than to simply do it.

I strode forward, one thought on my mind.
