Page 96 of Leave Me Broken

“No different?” I snort, not letting her comment bother me this time. “I’ve fucked one guy, one. And that guy belongs to me. I don’t need to fuck other girls’ boyfriends because I’m so fucking pathetic and unhappy with my life.”

“You know, Pay.” She purses her lips and saunters toward me. “Girl to girl, Daddy is good. Real good.” I will kill her. “But the son—” She bites her lip and rolls her eyes back. “Mind-blowing. Right, Janelle?”

My chest caves as if she just hit me where it hurts. Because she did. Saying she fucked Ash is one thing, talking about how good he is? No. Then throwing it in Janelle’s face she fucked Parker too. Hell no.

“I want her off my team,” I snarl.

“Done,” Ash growls.

“No, off. Not on the bench. I want her gone. I don’t want to see her anymore.”

Alyssa’s smile falls for the first time since walking from that room. “You can’t kick me off because I slept with someone’s boyfriend.” She crosses her arms.

“I have a hundred reasons why I can kick you off, and I will.”

Her eyes blaze with hatred. “I’ll tell everyone you two fuck.”

Ash’s chest rumbles against my back like a wild animal. “Do it.”

“My dad will be hearing about this.”

“Can’t wait,” Ash grits.

The car ride to Ash’s is probably the most awkward car ride I’ve ever been on. Janelle is in the front, crying silently. Parker is in the middle back and every so often I see him texting, and a second later, Janelle’s phone will light up, she looks, then ignores it.

Anytime I glance at Luca, I swear he is getting angrier instead of less so. I wonder what is up with that but its probably just him being disappointed in his nephew. I know I’m disappointed in his nephew. Parker and I haven’t really gotten along this whole time but this is probably the worst thing he could have done. Hurt my best friend. I’ll have his balls for this. Just like I’ll have Collins’s when I get the chance.

“Daddy is good.” Fucking bitch. I know she only called him that to fuck with me. She doesn’t know we’ve used that name in the bedroom. I think.

Did they do the same? I cringe at the thought.

Ash leans forward and his arms snake around my shoulders. “You’re letting your mind take you places it doesn’t need to go, Jailbird. Come back to me,” he whispers for only me to hear.

“It’s hard,” I admit.

His arms tighten and he moves around the seat and presses a deep kiss to my cheek. “You and me, babygirl.”

I suck in a deep breath and let it out. We pull up outside Ash’s, and I leave the car running since Janelle isn’t coming in, but Ash is nearly forcing me out of the car.

“I’m not leaving her waiting,” I tell him as he drags me up the front stairs.

Instead of heading to his room, he pulls me into the living room, pushes me down on the couch, and falls on top of me. “I love you, Payson. You are my babygirl.”

“Did she ever call you daddy?” I’m not sure where Luca and Parker are but I don’t care right now. I have to know.

Ash drops his lips to my ear. “I’m only your daddy, babygirl.” He kisses the shell of my ear, and dammit if it doesn’t make my pussy ache. “I’ve never used that title before you. Promise.”

He pulls back so I can look deep in his eyes. I sigh and pull his lips back to mine. “I’m going to cauterize your son.”

“Not if Luca does first.”

I laugh and press a kiss to his lips.

Luca nudges us to move over, and Ash sits up, pulling me onto his lap. I spot Parker across the room, avoiding eye contact with anyone. Probably because his uncle and dad are glaring at him. I’d hate to be him tonight. Maybe tomorrow since both men are drunk tonight.

I glance at Ash and he sighs. “Let’s not keep Janelle waiting.”

“Good night, Luca,” I say on my way out. I meet Parker’s sorry expression across the room and flatten my lips but say nothing.
