David breathes in, closing his eyes. “Oh, she was such a pretty little toy to play with, but I didn’t rape her, pretty boy. She was begging for us to play with her. Putting on the little innocent act, but she wanted it, and she fucking loved every second of it.”

Asher starts walking toward him, but Nate gets in front of him, pushing him back.

“Asher, stop. Brooke…” he trails off, looking back at my girl.

“I’m going to fucking kill you. Nice and fucking slow,” Asher spits out. David laughs hysterically again, and I realize there is nothing in this guy, no sanity. We won’t be able to reason with him. He came here to make us pay and won’t stop until he does.

“What do you want?” I ask him, trying to sound calm.

He toys with that for a second before he slides his arm down from Brooke’s neck to her waist.

“Hmmm, well, you took two of my boys from me. So now I think it’s only fair I take two people from you. Why don’t you give me this little plaything here and the other girl inside. I think we could have lots of fun together. I’ll have fun ruining this one.” He licks Brooke’s neck, and something in me snaps. I watch her cry as she tries to get away, but this guy is strong. I can see his muscled arms, and I know she doesn’t have a chance.

“Your fucking kidding me. We’re not giving you the girls. You’re a fucking psycho to even think we would do that,” Asher screams.

He smiles at me. “Oh, she’s that much fun, is she?” His eyes light up, and I realize Asher and I made a mistake getting defensive. All it’s done is egg this guy on. He runs the gun down her neck and breasts, grabbing her neck again, and I can see her choking as he applies pressure.

“Is she a screamer? I like them when they scream. Just makes me fuck them harder before I hand them over. Course, they’re always a little damaged after, but my boys like them broken. Me? I like a little fight.”

“Actually, you got it wrong. She just kinda lays there. She’s a little too pure, if you catch my drift. I took her virginity last night, but that was the worst mistake I made. Needless to say, I won’t be taking another hit at that.” I try to keep my mask in place, looking bored by the whole thing. I hear Nate in the background shouting as Jax tries to calm him down.

“You son of a bitch.”

I shrug, “To be honest, just take her. Saves me the drama of having to break it off with her. She was getting a little needy today.” I watch him ease off the pressure around her neck, and I try not to look at Brooke.

“Chase?” she cries out at me. I look at her with disinterest.

“Sorry, Princess,” I say, pretending to mock her, hoping she sees through it. “It’s true, the worst fuck I ever had. But the boys made a bet with me that I couldn’t take your virginity before the summer finished. Me and Chloe were laughing about it in bed the other night.” I watch her body sag, and the light goes out of her eyes.

Please, baby, see through it. See me, know I wouldn’t do this to you. Please.

“Yeah, I like my girls to scratch me, you know, dig their nails in, give a little kick out as I fuck them. I mean, this girl didn’t even touch my cock. Nope, she was just lying there like a dead fish. Not doing anything to help at all. I like them to have a little fire to them; you know, give my cock a little attention.” I look at Brooke for just a second before flicking my eyes back to him. “Listen, David. The truth is you and your boys, as you call them, deserve to die. You see, I may use women, but I don’t rape them. So, here’s the deal…”

CHAPTERTHIRTY-FIVE

BROOKE

Ifeel numb, coldness seeping into my blood as Chase tells everyone about how awful I was last night.

And when he tells me I was just a bet, I can’t help but give up. There’s nothing left in me. I’m not surprised. I knew they could lie so easily, but this… I can feel the cold metal of the gun through my hoodie, and right now, I just want it to be over.

Suddenly, I hear Chase start talking again, and my heart shatters. He looks at me again before talking back to David again.

Wait.

I gave his cock fucking attention… Why is he lying… Wait, he said something about scratching and kicking out. To help and fight.

Is he?

Does that mean he wants me to fight back?

Is he telling me how?

Holy fuck.

He’s talking about Harrison.

A guy was harassing me at school, and Chase found me upset sitting at the docks. He asked me what had happened, and I told him how this guy kept grabbing at me. Kept teasing me about being a virgin. I remember he was so angry, jumping up and asking me for this guy’s name. I never told him.
