My brows slam together in confusion. “I don’t understand,” I rasp out. He lessens his grip on my throat and I drag in lungfuls of much needed air.
“You get off on fear.” I shake my head trying to deny his claim but he pushes on. “I felt how you soaked through your panties.” I inhale sharply through my nose. “If the favor isn’t asked soon, I will return just to play with my new toy.”
“I’m not your anything,” I grit out through clenched teeth. He pushes his hand under my skirt, forcing a whimper from me as he runs a single finger along my pussy. The distorted groan that comes from him has me hating my body’s reactions to this situation and the fact that he is right, I can feel how soaked I am and it disgusts me.
“Ask soon or I will be forced to take what you are unwilling to give,” he growls before releasing me and shoving me forward so I fall to the hard ground. I keep my head down and breathe in and out, listening to their pounding footsteps racing away from me—thank God. My blood is rushing in my ears as I try hard not to give into the black dots in the corners of my eyes and pass out. I see headlights out of the corner of my eye, then jump to my feet and dash into the middle of the road waving my arms forcing whoever it is to stop.
“Help!” I scream as the car skids to stop. Smoke clouds surround the vehicle and me from the sudden stop. Both doors open and I want to weep when Vivi rushes toward me with wide eyes filled with worry. Before she can utter a word, I throw my arms around her and hold her close, all the fight fleeing my body and I sag against her.
“Archer, help me!” she calls out, then in two seconds I’m pulled from her hold and scooped off my feet as Archer places me in the back seat. Vivian climbs in beside me and looks me over for injury. “What happened? You’re pale as fuck and look like you have seen a ghost.” I open my mouth to answer but clamp it shut when Archer puts the car in drive and plants his foot. I shake my head and flick my gaze toward the front hoping she understands that I don’t want to say anything in front of him. She nods then reaches across and places her hand on my leg in a gesture of comfort.
I lean my head against the window and close my eyes, my heart still working overtime and I can feel the fear still lingering inside me. I have never been so afraid in all my life. I just want to go home, climb into bed beside my mom, then have her stroke my hair and tell me everything is going to be okay, it was just a bad dream.
I have a feeling those masked sicko’s aren’t done with me and will be back sooner than I want.
Chapter Ten
Vox
It’s been two weeks since Nova Quinlin arrived in Hollow Hills and started Haven Prep. The guys and I have made sure to make her hate her life a little more each passing day. Archer torments her and destroys her books every math lesson. Hayze spreads rumors all throughout their English class that she has been blowing him after practice every day. I poke and prod her with my pencil in chem, yesterday I took it one step further and slid my hand between her thighs, forcing her to clench them. Given we had a test she couldn’t call out for help so I had the entire lesson to tease her and brush my fingers over her pussy the whole class. By the end of it I could feel how wet she was for me. It gave me great satisfaction to watch her run out of class with her head down in shame.
Today though, Ezekiel took it a step further and loosened the top rope in the gym. I was shocked to hear that she nearly reached the top before the rope gave way and she fell. The whole school has been talking about it all morning and I haven’t been able to stop myself from smiling at the thought of her screaming her head off and being in pain. She won’t last much longer and soon she will be begging for the torment to end. I walk out of my math class and head toward the cafeteria to meet the guys. I head out the side door to go around the back of the building so I don’t get in the throes of students, but at the sound of her voice I pause and slowly slink forward to peer around the corner, then frown at the sight of her being dragged against the side of the building by her arms as Nexus gets right in her face.
“Fuck off, Nexus,” she snarls. I thought after her fall she would have been sent home but clearly I underestimated the bitch.
“Tell me which one of them did this to you?” he shouts.
“They didn’t do shit—” Her words are cut off when he yanks her shirt up and I spy the purple bruise along her side and I have no doubt the rest is hidden beneath her skirt.
“I know they did this to you. Leo told me he saw Ezekiel go into the gym first thing this morning before school started and made sure you were the first to climb before anyone else!” Leo is getting more than a broken nose now, that fucker is getting nailed at training today. I’ll make sure he can’t finish out the season for this.
“Leo is full of shit, he just wants to get into Vivian’s pants.” My nostrils flare at the way this cunt is speaking about my sister. “He’s lying because he wants to get back at Vox for making Vivi off limits to everyone. Easiest way for him to do that is to go for the kings’ minions and cause distress from the inside. Now get the fuck off me, Nexus!” He growls right in her face then shoves her hard against the wall before stalking off.I wait till he disappears around the corner before making my presence known. She straightens her shirt and skirt, then winces as she bends down to collect her bag off the ground. When she straightens up and sees me standing there her eyes narrow and hatred wafts off her in waves. “You here to collect your blow job?” she spits.
I purse my lips and pretend to ponder her request for a second before shaking my head. “Nah, that’s more of Hayze’s thing.” She rolls her eyes, flips me off, then starts walking toward the cafeteria. I eat the space up between us in two strides and fall into step beside her. She looks up at me in outrage, then slams to a stop. I peer down at her with a brow raised.
“What the fuck do you want, Vox?” I take in the sight of her. The dark circles under her eyes tell me she isn’t sleeping well. I reach out and twirl a strand of her hair around my finger. A week ago she would have batted my hand away but she has learned that fighting back just makes shit worse for her not us.
“Why was Nexus hassling you?”
She snorts. “Because it’s the little weasels M.O. Why the fuck do you care?”
I tug her hair and relish in the sight of her wincing in pain but she doesn’t make a sound. “I don’t, but the next time my sister’s name comes out of your mouth like that, I will make sure that the rumors of you sucking my boy’s cock aren’t just rumors.” She shoves me in the chest but I don’t budge.
“Fuck you and fuck your stupid-ass friends.”
“You want to fuck me?” Her nostrils flare in outrage.
“I wouldn’t fuck you if you were the last person on earth!” she grits out through clenched teeth.
I lean down so my lips brush the shell of her ear. “Your pussy getting wet for me says otherwise.”
“My pussy got wet for someone else the other night so don’t think you're special.” I pull back and stare right into those green eyes with a hint of yellow and ask.
“Got a secret admirer?” As if she has just realized her slip, she swallows and tries to act unbothered as she answers.
“No, just Waylen.” She stalks off leaving me standing here wondering who the fuck this Waylen cunt is and where can I find the little bitch.
I’m sitting in the living room with Arch, Hayze and Ezekiel, waiting for Vivian to get her ass home so I can grill my sister. For the rest of the fucking day I have been trying to track down this Waylen cunt. If this little fuck thinks he can play with our toy he has another thing coming. Nova is ours to play with and torment, no one else gets to touch her.
