Again, my comeback was lacking, and I hated myself even more.

“Really? That could be arranged.” He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a thick billfold. “How much would it take for you to drop your panties? Come on, Princess, show everyone how hot I make you?”

I had never hated the name Princess so much in all my life. The nickname my father had called me suddenly felt tarnished and dirty.

Again, the people around us chuckled. I turned to see Sadie looking back at me with sorrow.

Koah licked his finger and pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his fold before dropping it between us. It floated to the ground at my feet, taunting me and my rent that needed to be paid.

“One hundred?” He licked his finger again, pulling more bills and allowing them to fall to the ground like they were nothing. “Two hundred? Three hundred? I don’t know. I feel like that’s a lot of money to see a pair of wet panties. What do you guys think?”

He looked around at the crowd, and again they laughed.

I looked down at the money on the gravel at my feet, and rage exploded within me, replacing any emotion I had felt only seconds before. I struggled, thanks to him. I worked my fingers to the bone and barely made ends meet, yet he dared to toss money at me as if it didn’t matter.

It fucking mattered!

Sadie tugged at me, trying to pull me away, but I jerked my arm from her.

“Let’s go, Tori,” she whispered at my side.

I could hear the worry in her voice, but it didn’t matter. All that mattered was destroying the conniving grin on Koah’s face.

“No,” I said in her direction without taking my eyes away from his. “We’re not going anywhere.”

Koah laughed, pulling another bill from his fold and dropping it at my feet. “You better listen to your friend. She knows who runs this place.”

Anger covered my skin in goose bumps, and I rubbed at my crossed arms. “As I said before, this is a free country. Unless you own this land, you can’t tell me whether or not I can be on it.”

Joker spoke up, his grin never reaching his icy eyes. “I got something you can be on,” he said, squeezing his crotch.

Koah snickered before pulling yet another bill from his fold.

Five hundred fucking dollars sat at my feet, reminding me of all the nights I worked until my body ached and of my sister sitting at home studying so long she got headaches. That kind of money would help me out so much, but I would starve on the fucking streets before letting him know that. Then Gracie’s face fluttered through my brain again, giving me the confidence and sarcasm I needed.

Before thinking, I turned, pressing my back into his front. Disgust moved through me when I realized I enjoyed the feel of his large body against my backside. Before I could stop myself, I bent over, pushing my ass into his crotch as I leaned down and picked up the money from the ground.

He stiffened behind me, and if I wasn’t mistaken, a gasp slipped from his lips. I pretended to count the money as I turned to face him again. Grinning, I folded the bills and provocatively ran them across my cleavage before stuffing the cash into my bra. All eyes followed my movement.

“Would you look at that,” I said loud enough that everyone around us could hear me. “Some dumbass dropped money on the ground.” His eyes lifted from my chest and clashed with mine. “Oh well.” I shrugged. “Finders keepers.”

“Oh, and for the record,” I said, grinning at him, “my panties are dry. It takes more than a juiced-up street rat to get a real woman going.”

I turned toward Sadie as if Koah and his boys weren’t watching me. “Ready to get out of here?” I asked her. “This place is starting to bore me.”

I looked back into Koah’s eyes when those final words left my mouth. His lips grew tight, and his cheek muscles popped when he crushed his teeth together.

Then I pushed at his chest, moving him out of my way before I turned away and got into Sadie’s car with Koah’s money in my bra. He had lost twice tonight because of me, and even though I was still angry for allowing him to shake me, I had to call that a win.

Iletherwalkaway with my money for one reason only. I was in shock. Not because of what had just happened but because the second Tori had pressed her luscious ass into me, my cock grew hard for the first time in a very long time.

A strange feeling rushed over me, mixed with want and a touch of guilt. I felt as though I had somehow betrayed my younger self. How could my body respond that way? Especially with someone who shared blood with the person who had broken me beyond repair.

It was sickening and made no sense to me. I froze, feeling the blood rush from my brain and straight into the length of my cock. I hadn’t had a hard-on in so long that my arousal made me dizzy. Physically and mentally. The earth tilted and spun, and I reached out, settling my hand on the car in front of me. It took me a few seconds to catch my balance.
