I pull her up in my face as her sister squeals for me to release her. “What did you just say to me?”
Her eyes bounce between mine and my boys and as they form a circle around us, blocking any kind of escape, she finally starts to understand that I’m not the bitch she wants to mess with.
“I … I …”
“No, No,” I say, shaking my head. “I talk. You listen.”
She looks around again and I watch as her brows crease with fear. I don’t see Colton, but I feel him and I know he’s watching this bullshit go down, but he’s not doing anything to stop it and because of that, I give it my all.
“I’m going to tell you what I told your brother,” I say, licking my lips and tilting my face closer to hers, so close that if I was to move another inch, my plum-colored lips would be rubbing against hers. I drop my tone to an intimidating whisper by her ear. “Are you ready?”
I hear her swallow before she nods once again. “We may be in your territory, but this is my fucking game, understand?”
A small squeak pulls from within her and I resist laughing and breaking my concentration. I love the few spoiled girls from Bellevue Springs that I’ve met so far. They’re like cats. Always ready to strike and act like fucking bitches, but put a lion in their path and they scatter like pussies.
The other twin grows a set of balls and grabs hold of my hand that’s tangled in her sister’s hair. “Let her go,” she demands, her voice loud and demanding, getting the attention of every guest in the room.
She pulls on my hand yet all that does is tighten my grip. I tear my gaze away from the twin in front of me and look to the other. “Careful, now. You don’t want to be the reason your sister has a bald spot. I’ve been to the salon here and trust me, they’re amazing but they can’t do God’s work.”
She sets her jaw and I’m sure had her daddy still been here, she would have been having a tantrum and running to him right now, but unfortunately for her, she’s shit out of luck.
Eli laughs and steps closer to her side, crippling her with fear. “Come on, baby,” he coos. “Chill out. We’re just having a little fun. Why don’t you relax and come over to the dark side? I promise you’ll like it.”
“Eli,” I warn. “Careful. They’re seventeen.”
“So?” he says with a seductive chuckle, his eyes raking up and down her body. “You were only fifteen when I took your virginity and you fucking loved it. I bet she’d have the time of her fucking life.”
“Really?” Nic grunts, shooting his glare at Eli as Sebastian groans. “You want to bring that shit up now?”
“Umm …” the twin in my face says. “Can you please just let me go? I swear, we’ll back off.”
I raise a brow as I study her, not believing it for one second but to tell the truth, I’m starting to get a little bored. It’s clear they’ve got the message and I have a feeling they won’t be fucking with me much longer.
I meet her eyes. “Which one are you?”
“Cora.”
Ahh, the one from Colton’s room last night. Why does it make me so damn happy that this isn't Casey? “You better watch your back, Cora. I won’t hesitate to fuck you up. I don't care who you have at your back. You will not win here. Got it?”
“Yeah, I got it,” she says, her attitude firing back up, not appreciating my verbal smackdown.
Keeping my eyes trained on hers, I finally release the grip on her hair and she falls back against Sebastian’s chest before he steps away and makes room for the two of them to scurry away. “Hey,” Eli calls after them. Casey turns back and meets his eyes and the grin he sends her is more than wicked. “That offer still stands.”
Her eyes bug out of her head and they run faster, making the boys buckle over, howling with laughter as Milo stares in wonder, probably wondering if Eli would extend his offer to him.
The boys have hardly finished their celebration when a hard body steps into my back. My body stiffens and as his familiar scent wraps around me and my knees buckle beneath me, Nic straightens.
Colton’s hand falls to my waist, keeping me steady as my boys all stop to stare, confusion twisting on their faces. I don’t know where the fuck Kairo comes from but suddenly he’s there, able to smell the threat from a mile away.
Colton leans into me, his hand slipping further around my waist and doing all sorts of things to me, but the way Nic watches has me ready to duck for a shoot out. He steps forward, putting himself right in front of me to where he can easily reach for Colton’s throat. “Take your fucking dirty hands off my girl.”
