His smile drops. “Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s sex, nothing more. It would be a real shame if you fell for one of us by the time we're done with you. I know it’s going to be hard, but it’s for the best. It’s never going to happen.”

And there goes the asshole I’ve grown to know. “Please,” I scoff. “A little full of yourself much? Don’t worry, Preston. I only want you for your hands, mouth, and dick. Nothing more. I’m using you, just as much as you’re using me.”Lies.But he doesn’t need to know that.

“Glad we have an understanding.”

The door opens and I look over my shoulder to find Declan and Grayson. “Everything good here?” Grayson asks, looking from Preston to me.

“Yup.” Preston stands and moves around the desk, stopping next to me, and I look up. “So, Kitty Cat. You’re so curious, are you? Well, I hope you’re ready to get just what you asked for.”

Preston

ISHOULDN’T BE DOINGthis. She’s the last person that should be in this place. But I don’t put a stop to it as I lead her down the hallway all the way back to our private room. Declan and Grayson follow behind her. I can feel the nerves rolling off her in waves.

She’s putting on a brave face. Sassy little thing she is. But she’s going to see just how out of her comfort zone she’s about to get.

It doesn’t surprise me that her sorry excuse of an ex didn’t know his way around a pussy. And I damn well know he couldn’t find a clit if it bit him in the damn face.

Even so, I didn’t think she would go as far as to come to us for help like this. I only agreed because the idea of her going elsewhere pissed me off more than helping her. Not because I’m jealous, but I know how Declan feels about her. I’m doing this for him, saving his heart from being broken again as she fucks her way through the freshman class.

The past few years were bad enough having to look at his lost puppy face any time he saw her and Raymond together. I’m doing this for myfriend. Nothing else.

And I wasn’t wrong about what I told her before. I’d be a fool to turn down having a chance to fuck her. I’m a man, and she’s gorgeous. I can’t deny that. But so are a lot of girls at the school. She’s nothing special.

Only that’s a big, fat fucking lie you keep telling yourself.

When we get to the door, I swipe my key card. The lock clicks, and the little light turns green. Pushing the door open, I let her pass.

Her eyes flick up to mine and my cock stirs at the slight fear that shines back at me. Once everyone is in, I close and lock the door. Tossing the key card onto the table next to the door, I turn around to find Sadie standing in the middle of the room.

She’s slowly checking the room out, her eyes wide with wonder and a little confusion.

“Don’t worry. We won’t be using half of the things inside this room,” I tell her, slowly walking toward the black leather couch on the far side of the room where Grayson and Declan stand, eyes on the pretty girl taking everything in.

It’s sad how hard they’ve fallen for her. I’m the only one who realized what we felt for her and what it really was: a crush. A school boy crush on a pretty girl with a soft smile.

They’re foolish, the both of them, catching feelings for someone they know they can’t have. It’s pointless, a waste of time.

It’s why I shut that part of me off a long time ago. Feelings only cause pain, and pain is weakness. There’s no love in our world, only sex, money, and power. Three things I have a good amount of.

“At least not yet.” I chuckle, taking a seat on the couch.

She looks over at me. “What do they all do?”

“You’ll find out in time. All you need right now is that bed.” I nod toward the bed in the corner. “And us.”

“Okay.” She takes a deep breath and nods. The guys join me on the couch, leaving Sadie standing there alone, like a scared little kitty cat.

“Tonight is about you,” I tell her. “No sex tonight. Just exploring.”

“What the fuck!” Grayson’s head swings my way. “That wasn’t the plan!”

No, it wasn’t. But I saw how he was in the limo when Declan stupidly voiced his thoughts about potentially screwing up his family and causing a big scandal that they may not recover from. All over a girl who they hardly know.

The moment he gets his cock inside her, Grayson is going to become hooked, like a fucking dog with a bone.

“It’s our first night with her.” I don’t look at him when I answer, eyes on Sadie. “We have lots of time to use our little fuck toy.” Her eyes flash with anger at my words and my lips twitch. I love pissing her off, seeing the fire that hides inside her.

“I’m not your fuck toy,” she huffs out.
