"For now," Chloe said easily. "No one will find them here. No one will think to look." She sounded certain of that.

Did she really think we could just disappear off the face of the planet and no one would notice? If she did, she was delusional.

"Dane said no one ever comes here," she added.

"He better be right," Zachary growled. "What about his involvement in all of this anyway? He's a DiMarco."

It sounded like there was trouble in paradise. Maybe Zachary-boy didn't like to share his stepsister with a teacher.

"He's useful," Chloe said. "Just like you are. He's in this with us until the end."

"I have to keep sharing?" Zachary sounded pissed off.

"You knew going into this there would be other men," she scolded. "I'm with you and I'm with Dane. And I'm with anyone else who is useful to me. I will fuck whomever I have to fuck, whenever I have to fuck them. And if I tell you to fuck someone—"

"I won't cheat on you," he argued.

"It's not cheating if I tell you to do it," she said. "You know what's at stake here. More power than you and I could ever dream of. We need to do whatever it takes." Her tone turned sultry. "Would you do that for me?"

"I'll do anything for you." He sounded sulky. It seemed he had the impression she'd drop everyone for him. "You're not going to ask me to screw Lila, are you?"

I curled my hands into fists. If that prick touched a hair on her head I would personally place his feet into acid, then pour some of that onto his cock and balls. Better yet, I'd cover them with honey and tie him on top of an ant's nest. The ways I'd make him suffer would be worse than anything his worst nightmares could conjure.

"I doubt she'd trust you, but it wouldn't hurt to try." Chloe said. "With the twins away, she may need consoling."

"But Slade—"

"We need to deal with him," she said with a sigh. "Dane is keeping an eye on him for now, but we definitely shouldn't underestimate Mr Lincoln. I wish I'd got his attention before she did. I might work on him, he might come over to our side yet."

"If you fuck him…"

"It will be because it's necessary," she said firmly. "Besides, he's kinda hot. I can understand what Lila sees in him."

Zachary made a rude noise. That was followed by the sound of skin hitting skin like she was patting his cheek.

"You'll forget your jealousy when you have more pussy than you know what to do with."

"I only want yours." He sounded frustrated.

"You say that now, but that will change. You'll have them lining up to wrap their lips around your cock."

"Speaking of that," he said slowly. "They wanted to nominate me for something called the Brotherhood."

His words were followed by her sharp intake of breath.

"So it's a real thing?" he asked.

"It is. I didn't expect them to suggest that to you," she replied. "It's not something that’s offered around to someone you barely know. Did they seem sincere?"

"I guess so," he said uncertainly. "Probably not now. Should I have abandoned the plan to bring them here?"

Silence was followed by, "I don't think so. You can always ask Dad to nominate you. Unless he's used all his nominations. Each member is allowed six in their lifetime."

"They really don't allow women?" he asked carefully. He sounded like he didn't want to admit he liked the idea of women being passed around the organisation. He wasn't sure what she’d think if she knew.

"They really don't, but beyond that I don't know much about it," she admitted. "If anyone offers to nominate you again, say yes. Getting you in there could really help us."

"Yeah, if they do. Anyway, we should get to class."
