Page 7 of Dangerous Allure

“No, old man, I'm good.” I respond glumly and he rolls his eyes before the dumb bitch chimes in.

“You heard her Harls, Presley doesn’t need a ride. Let’s go to breakfast on the lake,” she says, giving me a look of disgust. I fucking can’t stand her and it doesnt help that I’m best friends with her younger sister Mila.

“Be careful Ambs. Don’t want those sausage and biscuits going straight to your ass.” I tsk as I start walking away, but not before seeing a smirk playing on Harley’s lips. Amber starts screaming nonsense out of the car window but I keep it moving. I’d promised Mila I wouldn’t lay a hand on Amber, but if the bitch touches me first I will mop the streets with her blonde ass.

Finally the bus arrives and it doesn’t take long to get to school since I’m the last stop. Brimstone High is like every other ordinary high school, just not as big as the rest in the area. Half of these kids should be going to the prep school across town but that's only for the founding families.

The Radleys however, refused to send their kids with the other families. I’m not sure what the beef is. Any time I’ve asked Jacob Lee, he would tell me, “Good girls don’t ask questions.” Fucking prick. Just counting down the days until I’m out of here.

Climbing the steps at school, an arm wraps around my waist and the smell of Dove Soap fills my nostrils. I put on a fake fucking smile and lean into his touch.

“Hey babe. Sorry about this morning.” He whispers, placing a gentle kiss on my cheek.

“It’s okay, no worries.” I reply as we walk through the front doors and down the hall to my locker which just so happens to be by his and most of the team.I bet you that was a deliberate move. God forbid I get space within these walls.

“Hey P. How was your weekend?” Violet asks. I’ve been friends with this girl my whole life, along with Marcy and Mila, and they have not a clue what I go through. I very rarely have them overat my house because of Stan. I honestly don’t know what I would do if he came in and touched one of my friends.

“It was great. I didn’t have to work, so I just hung out with Jacob.” I smile and she giggles.

“I wish I was dating the star quarterback and the son of one of the richest families in this town.” She says excitedly and I just want to poke my own eyeballs out. Ugh. I hate lying to them but they wouldn’t believe me. Not after the show I put on daily and all the lies I spew.

“It’s like a dream.” I force a laugh, pulling Jacob from his friend and kissing him.Ya know, putting on a show for everyone to see how perfect we are.

“Damn babe. I wish you were in this type of mood all the time.” He says, licking his lips as the onlookers watch our exchange.

“Did I tell you how happy you make me?” I whisper against his lips, pressing my body into his. He grips my hips tightly, pushing his hard on into my stomach.

“I love you Presley. I can’t wait to make you my wife once we're out of here,” he whispers back as he presses a soft kiss against my lips. Everything around us goes silent causing Jacob to pull away from the kiss. He smacks his friend Ryan in the chest to get his attention. I look over at the girls who are huddling together. Mila finally arrived and is walking fast towards us.

“Ladies, we got new boys and they are fucking hot with a capital H.” She says and I laugh, trying to get a look at the guys entering the front doors. My heart instantly drops when I see who they are all talking about. The Cyprus brothers.

Mav walks in first with Demon to his right and another to his left, a red-head following right behind him.Jesus they are all god-like.

Demon’s eyes roam the halls, finally landing on mine and I swallow thickly as he smirks, flicking his lip ring. I hear snideremarks beside me about how the Cyprus boys are trash-which is all bullshit.Fucking rich kids.

The girls are already swooning, but I can’t take my eyes off Demon. His icy blue orbs are reaching into my soul, snatching it while calling out my own demon, and it’s fucking frightening. I stand completely still, unable to move as they quickly approach.

Just when I think they will bypass me, Demon snatches me by the waist, pressing me against the lockers.Holy fucking shit.I look up at him in shock, my eyes going wide as he smirks, not saying a word. My breathing hitches, but as fast as he snatched me up is as fast as Jacob ripped him away, standing in front of me to keep me out of view.

“Back up off my property, Cyprus.” He snarls. All four boys take a step closer, but he puts his hand up to stop anything further from happening.

“How do you know I’m a Cyprus? Have we met before?” He asks as his eyes once again find mine, but I look away, slowly roaming over them all. The dark haired brother seems like a sad soul. His eyes are so lost and dark but murderous. The red head seems like he can’t fucking be bothered by anyone and then there’s Mav. He smirks at me and I roll my eyes at him as Jacob and Demon spew bullshit towards one another.

“Presley is my girlfriend, trash. So stay the fuck away from her. This is your only warning.” Jacob threatens, but it does nothing for Demon.

“Is that right? Interesting.” He says, rolling his lip ring as he steps closer to Jacob. My breathing hitches again as he gets in his face.

“Make sure when you send out a threat, that you can actually back it up, Preppy. I’ll take your girl any fucking time I want. Keep her close. That’syouronly warning.” He snides, then laughs before backing away.

“See you soon, Gumdrop.” He winks at me as he strolls down the hallway towards the main office with his brothers in tow without a care in the world.Fuck my life.Jacob spins on me and slams me against the lockers.

“Gumdrop? Gumdrop? How the fuck does he even know you? He’s from Daggerspoint with the rest of the trash. Have you been lying to me and hanging out with the Cyprus brothers?” He yells and I shake my head.

“I only work for Harley and you know that. I’ve never seen any of them except Maverick, which you also know about. You’re embarrassing me. Back the hell up, Jacob and calm the fuck down.” I whisper-shout, but it doesn't do anything but amp him up. He wraps his hand around my throat, squeezing, getting right in my face.

“If I ever see you with any of them, I will break your fucking legs. You understand me?” He threatens and I nod. He releases me and I grab my shit and go to class, wanting to get as far as I possibly can from him.

Of course I can’t take my phone out and text Mav or Demon. I want so badly to curse them out for their little fucking stunt, but I can’t, because then too many questions will arise and I don’t have the energy for that bullshit. I need to figure shit out and quickly because the rest of this school year isn’t going to go well for me if this shit continues.
