Page 83 of Bleed for Me

Guilt twisted his features, and he nodded at that realization before kissing me harder, tugging my body against his. “You realize you’re mine now, right? You gave me your body.”

A slow smile stretched across my face. “I’m okay with that.”

TWENTY-TWO

SEVEN

“Fuck that stupid bitch,” I growled, pacing around my room, gathering up my clothes before sloppily throwing them on. It didn’t matter how hot it had been, how warm and tight her pussy and ass had felt wrapped around me. It didn’t matter that the breathy moans resounding through the sex-fogged room did things to me I’d never admit. She played me, and I let her.

“You did. Twice, now,” Jordan offered unhelpfully from where he was still positioned on the chair, his sketchbook now lying on his lap.

I shot him a scathing glare. Not only did she use my words against me, but she did it in front of my friends, making me look like an inexperienced fool. She blatantly said that I hadn’t been her first choice. I was her last option. Someone she could fuck when she needed a quick release when no one better was available. Maybe it shouldn’t have bothered me so much, but it did. I was so caught up in the heat of the moment that I let Archer fuck her, and now they were off doing God knows what.Probably fucking again if I had to guess since she’d turned into a little slut seemingly overnight.

Butfuck, she was sexy.

I couldn’t even vow to never touch her again after the stunt she pulled because I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stick to that promise. If anything, I could make it hurt. Force myself on her without getting her ready or when she least expected it. Rape that tight ass into submission. I groaned, sinking down onto the edge of my bed.

No.

I had to stop this. Nothing good would come out of screwing with her like that. The last thing I needed was for her to get the wrong idea and want to be with me. My heart was reserved for Archer, and Archer only, even if he was being a pathetic little bitch right now.

I blew out a sigh. “Well next time she needs a good pounding, she can go to you or Archer,” I decided, hating the way that sounded to my own ears. If she did go to Archer, I’d make her pay for it. Her only safe bet as far as the three of us were concerned, was Jordan. And even then, that bothered me more than I cared to admit.

“Like I said, I don’t do sloppy seconds.” He shrugged. “If I’d gotten to her first, then maybe. But she’s already been defiled by you two in every fucking hole.”

I snorted. “Her mouth hasn’t been taken yet.”

He nodded thoughtfully as if he were thinking it over. “Then her mouth is mine. Assuming Archer isn’t getting his dick sucked right now.”

A snarl curled around the edges of my mouth, liquid rage licking through my veins. How the hell did this get so complicated? The mere thought of them doing God knows what pissed me off. Almost like the last few years didn’t even matter to Archer. How could he be so willing to throw it all away for asnake like her? Because she was pretty? Had a nice body? Was inexperienced? What was it that made him lose his mind when it came to her?

Jordan arched an eyebrow, noticing the rage that was written into my facial features and posture. It took me a moment to realize that my nails were biting into the palms of my hands, a small sting tumbling through the skin where the contact was most potent.

If I could go back in time and erase taking Rosalie’s virginity, then I would. Pretty sure it gave Archer the wrong idea about what the fuck this was. I’d only wanted her blood—that was it. But then she had to storm in here and climb on top of me. How the fuck was I supposed to even think when she’d taken that choice from me? My body immediately responded, craving the way she clamped down on me as I stretched her with my girth.

As if to prove my point, my dick stirred to life beneath my jeans. Annoyance flickered through me, and I released a growl of frustration.

“Obviously Archer isn’t going to stay away from her,” Jordan pointed out unhelpfully. “So, you need to find a way to either cope with this, or you need to let it go. Give him space to figure out what’s more important to him.”

I scoffed. “He doesn’t need space to figure anything out. I’m pretty sure I already know what he wants. It’s just unrealistic.”

Jordan closed his sketchbook, placing his pencil in his pocket. “What does he want?”

“He doesn’t want to choose. It’s fucking obvious. He wants usboth. If I drop him…” like I considered doing. “Then, he’ll just be with her. He’s not going to force me into it and he’s not going to drop her for me.”

I knew Archer King too well. He would always go after what he wanted. He wouldn’t drop me for her and vice versa. At first, I wished he’d come to his senses, but he was living in some kind ofwarped fantasy where we could all be together and live happily ever after in this asylum of horrors. I didn’t want to be with her. Didn’t even want to be attracted to her.

“So, what are you going to do?” he questioned, genuine curiosity laced throughout his words.

I shrugged. “I could hurt her. I’ve already warned her to stay away from him.”

“I think that’ll just complicate things more with you two,” he reasoned. “And frankly, I’m tired of listening to you guys fight.”

He did have a point. Maybe I just needed to step back and let them be together, as painful as it might be. I couldn’t pretend to care for her when all I really wanted to do when she was near was rip her face off.

“Then fuck it,” I muttered. “They can have one another.”

My legs were stretched out in front of me as the music within the room intensified. My head rested along the wall behind me as I let myself go to the melodic tune surrounding me. Usually, listening to the choir helped calm some of my urges, but today, it wasn’t doing shit. Whether I wanted to admit it or not, Rosalie had wormed her way into my thoughts. Seeing her get fucked by Archer didn’t bother me like expected. It was hot as hell. But that came to a screeching halt when he walked her out, and who knows what else they did after the fact. I wasn’t much for sharing, and the mere thought of them continuing this scam of a situationship had my blood heating.
