“You said we were going to be hostesses!”

He shakes his head.“No, I was more specific.You just weren’t listening, Posey.You’ve been caught in a haze for the last couple days, and I don’t know what’s gotten into you.”

My mouth snaps shut with consternation because Trek is right.I’ve been so busy worrying about our relationship, that I haven’t been paying attention during competition meetings.While the other girls were chattering and gossiping, I tuned them out.And now, for the first time, I’m at a loss for words because what’s going to happen?Is Trek expecting me to service his brothers?Will he be claiming other women with his cock and bulge?Oh god, this is horrible … and I can’t live like this.

Trek

Posey’s face is ghostly white and her bare arms cold beneath my grip, even though the room is sweltering now.The pungent smell of sex hangs heavy in the air as breathy moans and throaty growls rise towards the rafters.But Posey’s expression is stricken, her spine ramrod straight.

“Let go of me,” she demands through gritted teeth.

I want to shake the damn woman, draw the truth from her, extract answers about why she’s being so fucking distant.

But one look into her pale eyes, and I know that I’m the reason.

I drop my grip, and wince when I see the red marks my fingers have left on her soft skin.

“Talk to me,” I order.“What’s going on in that beautiful brain of yours?”

Posey juts her chin at me, always stubborn.“You might betheirleader, but I don’t owe you a damn thing,” she sasses, taking a step back.

I run a hand through my hair and sigh.Maybe I should throw her on that couch over there and show her who’s in charge.Then again, I know physical force won’t work with this woman.If anything, she’ll pull back even more.Yet I can’t help my caveman instincts, and before I realize it, I grab the woman and pull her to me.Without thinking, without warning, I lean down and kiss her, my mouth determined to make her relent, even if my words can’t.

Posey doesn’t return the kiss, but she doesn’t fight me, either.Instead, she stands completely still, as if enduring something painful that must end soon.

Her reaction makes me curdle.Guilt wracks my frame, and I let go, releasing her.

“Have you had your fill of me now?”she demands, swiping at a tear that’s pooling in the corner of her eye.

I stare at her, angry at myself more than anything.

“Myfillof you?”I repeat.

Posey sniffles even as she stands up straighter.“I can’t do this, Trek.I’m going to go.”

I feel my heart clench in my chest and for a brief moment, I’m not sure that I can remain standing.

“Like hell you’re leaving,” I snarl at her.

“You don’t get a choice in the matter,” she retorts, her eyes igniting now that she senses a fight.

“Why,though?After everything—the pageant, coming down here—why are you leaving now?”

Posey shakes her head.“Because I can’t dothis,” she says, gesturing around the room and at the wild sex happening behind us.“I’m not okay with that.With the idea ofthemtouching me.”

I narrow my eyes.“I didn’t peg you for being against sex,” I say, my tone harsh.I don’t want to hurt Posey but fuck it, I’m a cruel man.To her credit, the woman throws back her head and laughs.

“You’re an idiot,” she says, the laugh slowly morphing into a low, heart wrenching sob.“You’re even dumber than I thought.”

It’s my turn to stand completely still, dumbstruck.Did she just insult me?

Meanwhile, Posey shakes her head once more and proceeds to march out of the building, never once looking back.

I watch her departing figure, dumbstruck.How the hell did I get here?

Meanwhile, the orgy continues unfolding around me.I’m tempted to join in the fray, and to fuck another woman until I can get this red-headed temptress off of my mind and out of my heart.Maybe that’s the solution to my problems.But as I look at the door that Posey just passed through, I know that other women are not the answer because I don’t want them.What I want is to talk some sense into Posey before pushing her down and forcing my knot into that juicy cunt.Besides, what’s she going to do outside?
