And now her earring is on the ground.
Did it fall out or was my sister leaving me a clue?
I jerk my head back to the other side of the creek. She must’ve known they were trying to throw us off their trail by smashing the ground over there. It was her only way of keeping us on the right track.
We’re coming, Rae.
You did well, beautiful.
“This way,” I holler to Wild and Rowdy. “Hurry up!”
Minutes later, with both Rowdy and Wild following me, I traipse along the trail that’s obvious again as it winds deeper into the forest. Thanks to Rae, we’re going to find them.
As night falls upon us, we decide to make camp at a place they must’ve. We find the remnants of a long put out campfire and the ground has been cleared some for tents. Me and Wild make quick work of erecting our own tents while Rowdy starts a fire.
“I wish we didn’t have to stop,” I grumble as I settle beside the fire and dig through my pack for something to eat. “We’ll have to travel longer hours tomorrow if we want to catch up to them.”
Rowdy nudges me with his boot, shooting me a frown. “We need our rest too. It won’t do us any good to find them but not have the energy to fight them.”
“Fight them?” Wild says with a grunt. “I plan on putting a bullet in every damn one of their heads. No fighting necessary.”
My brother bristles at Wild’s response, obviously annoyed. I can’t help but agree with Wild on this, though.
The thought of taking out each and every one of those monsters is a satisfying one.
Later, when drifting off to sleep in my tent, I dream of blood and revenge, and then I dream of her.
“You’re leaving.” Raegan’s fiery eyes burn with hurt. “You’re leaving and you never planned to tell me!”
God, why is she so infuriating?
I practically spit out my next words. “I didn’t have a chance.”
“Liar!” She smacks me hard across the cheek, the other hand holding the knife against my throat steady as ever. “You could have told us together!”
Everything’s a competition with her. But, behind her anger, I can see how devastated she is about the news. I feel that same pain a hundred percent.
I grab hold of her wrist and squeeze it. “I’m sorry.”
“That’s it?” Her eyes widen and her nostrils flare. “You’re sorry? Aren’t you even going to try to fight them on this?”
Fight them? Fight Dad? Is she insane?
“What can I do, Rae?” I hiss at her. “Dad’s word is law.”
“Yeah, and he’s a hypocrite!”
“It’s done,” I mutter. “I’m sorry, but the decision has been made.”
She manages to press the tip of the blade harder into my skin. It fucking hurts. Blood trickles down from where she has me at her vicious mercy.
“It’s stupid,” she chokes out, tears welling. “You’re not going to get me pregnant! You don’t even like me. You’re too busy making Ronan come! You two have shut me out.”
Unbelievable.
She’s definitely insane if she can’t see how fucking crazy she makes me.
With a growl, I flip us until my heavy body pins her much smaller one. Since she’s distracted, I easily take hold of the knife and toss it away.
“I don’t like you?” I bite out. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?”
She glowers up at me, refusing to let the tears actually fall. “I said what I said.”
I shift my body until my aching cock is pressed against her pussy, our clothes an unwanted barrier. Her legs have parted, easily welcoming me into this forbidden position. I can feel the heat of her pussy against my dick that’s harder than stone.
“I more than like you, Rae. I fucking love you. And not in some stupid sibling way either. It’s why I have to leave.”
She blinks in confusion, her lips pouting out. “What?”
“I said what I said,” I mimic her with a slight grin. “But it doesn’t matter. We can’t do this shit. It’s not right. Bad things can happen to our babies.”
The thought of Raegan pregnant with my baby makes my stomach twist with uncertainty. I know it’s wrong but the idea of knowing I did that to her is also a turn-on. I bet she’d be hot as fuck with a swollen belly.
“Blindness is not a birth defect, dumbass,” she snaps, drawing me away from the forbidden fantasy. “Lots of people are blind and that’s not because they had sex with their sister. It’s just a thing that happens to some people. Like being deaf. I’ve read lots about disabilities. It’s just biology and maybe God too.”
“Regardless, nothing can happen. Dad won’t allow it.”
She opens her mouth with an indignant response no doubt, and it’s in that second I make the decision to kiss her.
Just a taste.
One tiny taste before I’m sent away from her forever.
