My hips bucked forward into his.
I hated him so much for making my body react this way to him. I hated him even more when I opened my mouth to him and kissed him back, hard!
"You drive me fucking crazy," he growled into my mouth.
Back at you, mate!
He released my pinned hands and put his weight on his elbows as he leaned over me. I should have used my hands to push him off me or to claw at his face or something along those lines, but I didn't. I did a stupid thing and put my arms around his neck and pulled his head as close to mine as I could.
We kissed each other, and it was an exact replay of the scene from the last time in his bedroom. He had me on my back, on his bed, ready to give him something that wasn't his to take.
"Bronagh?" I heard Branna's voice shout loudly, then she started banging on Dominic's door.
Dominic groaned into my mouth, and then growled when I pulled away from him.
"We're busy!" Dominic shouted.
Whoever was outside with Branna laughed then yelped.
"Get away from me sister you pervy little fucker or I'll end you!" she bellowed.
I pushed at Dominic. "Get off me," I breathed.
He did, so I quickly stood up and fixed my dress. I grabbed my bag that was on the floor and looked around for my shoes, but I couldn't find them, so I just rushed over to Dominic's door and opened it.
"I can't remember anythin' or how I got up here, but I didn't do anythin' with him; I swear!" I gushed to Branna who looked as bad as I felt.
She looked me over, and her eyes landed on my neck and her face turned red.
"You better not have touched her without permission-"
"I didn't! I'm not a fucking rapist!"
Branna growled. "You better not be because I'll fuckin' rape you if you harmed her in any way!"
Dominic's smirk was enough to put me back in a bad mood with him.
"You can rape me anytime you want, gorgeous."
I gasped.
The fucking prick!
"You're a prick!" I snapped.
He flicked his eyes to me and rolled them while sighing. "I'm kidding, don't be mad at me for that. I prefer you over your sister even though she is smoking hot."
Was that meant to be a compliment or something?
"Piss off, Dominic."
I turned to Branna and grabbed her hand. "We're leavin'!"
She nodded then looked back to the figure behind her. "Move!" she snapped to him.
"I'm not letting you leave until you hear me out!" Ryder said in a firm voice.
I scoffed. "You can't keep her here, arsehole."
He flicked his eyes to me and narrowed them. I sort of moved behind Branna because it was only then that I realised how much bigger he was than me; he was even bigger than Dominic.
"Don't look at me sister like that, do you hear me? You're scaring her!" Branna shouted.
Ryder scrubbed his face with his hands. "Bran, baby, I didn't know Bronagh was your sister. You called her Bee when you talked about her. If I had known who she was I would have told you, so you didn't look at me like you did last night."
I widened my eyes.
They knew each other?
"Hold up, rewind and freeze. Branna… are you seein' him?" I asked, blatant shock laced in my tone.
She looked to me and frowned. "I wasn't keepin' it from you, sweetie. I met him at Darkness a few weeks ago when he was there with Alec and Kane. We hit it off and went on some dates since then; I wasn't goin' to tell you about him until I was sure about him. I know how you feel about people, and I didn't want to bring him around unless I was sure he was goin' to stick around." She cut her eyes to Ryder then, and he was looking at her with such intensity that I gasped.
"What is your deal with people, Bronagh?" Dominic's voice asked from behind me, making me tense up.
Branna felt my hand grip hers so she looked at Dominic. "It's none of your business," she snapped then looked back to Ryder. "I'm not doin' this to her; she doesn't like you, and that means it won't work between us."
Ryder looked beyond mad as he reached for her and pulled her away from me so they could talk in private, but it was pointless because I could still hear everything that was said.
"You can't just dump me because you sister doesn't like getting close to people, Branna. I really like you, and I care about you a lot. I know you feel the same way about me. I don't want to end this; I want you to be my girl. We can take things slow; I won't press Bronagh out of her comfort zone but please don't give up on me, on us."
My heart broke for him; I didn't know he and Branna had a thing. I thought he just pulled her last night when I found her sitting on his lap at the table, but I guess they were sort of a couple, and that's why they were sat the way they were. It made sense when I thought about how Branna said she wanted to introduce me to Ryder before I cut her off in the club last night. Things had clearly escalated since then because they weren't smiling and acting all loved up with each other anymore like they were before all hell broke loose last night. They had obviously fought over me and Dominic, and that made me feel like crap. They shouldn't not be together because of us or more importantly because of me.
"Branna," I mumbled.
She looked at me, tears in her eyes.
She clearly felt the same way about Ryder; she didn't want to break up with him, and I didn't want her to.
"Don't break up with him. I'll… I'll try harder for you; I promise," I said, lowering my head.
Branna cried then and said, "Baby, you don't have to try for me. Try for yourself, this outlook you have isn't healthy. I want you to let other people in; you can't only have me in your life. If anythin' ever happened to me, you would be all alone, and that terrifies me Bee, more than anythin'."
