… later on, when I’m trying…

“Do you want to go to the party I was headed to when you abducted me?”

“Is that a good idea?”

“Yeah, no one knows who you are here. And even so, no one there knows my dad. He isn’t around much.” I nod my head.

“Okay,”

“Yeah?” she asks and I laugh, nodding my head again. “You’re going to let me show you off.” I can’t help but laugh.

“I’m not sure how much showing off is going to go.” She pauses as she walks into her closet. “What?”

“Um, I feel like I should warn you. I have slept with a few of them that will be there.”

“And who are you going home with tonight?” I ask her just to prove my point. She looks up at me and puts her hands on her hips. “I’m just saying. I don’t care because I just got done fucking you and I will fuck you again before the night is over.” I move out of the closet when I stop and look at her. “Is he going to be there?”

“No.”

“You sure?”

“Pretty sure.” She shrugs and I nod my head.

“Okay, there shouldn’t be a problem then.” Stepping back out and pulling the clean clothes out of my bag before I dress.

Everyone stares as we pull up on the bike and I help her off.

Of course, she insisted on wearing a fucking dress on the back of it… although I damn near insisted on her changing. She refused. I glare at her as she pulls her dress down and shake my head. “Oh, shut up.” She laughs as I tilt my head and cut my eyes to her. “Just think. If we have to have a repeat of when you had to come, get me from the club then you can slip it in real easy.” I nearly cough out before I cut my eyes at her. “I’m just saying it now so when I’m trying later…” I just shake my head as we walk up to the front of the house.

“Shit, I feel underdressed now.” She laughs.

“Don’t it’s Jen’s house. Her parents have money, but I’ve literally run around here half naked.” I just glare at her. “Sorry,” she smirks as I shake my head at her.

“Ella!” the girl that was in the car with her earlier shouts as she rushes up to us and hugs her. “Oh, who are you? I mean, I’m assuming that you’re the one on the bike earlier.” I laugh as I nod my head.

“Sadie, this is Axe.”

“So, it is.” she laughs. “We’re all outside, come on.”

“Stay close.” Ella laughs as I just shake my head at her. Wanting to go grab a drink because it’s been a long time since the last time that I was at a high school party. But the further we get into the party I realize that it isn’t really high schoolers. There is a mix of everyone in the house. I feel like money is maybe the only common factor.

I feel Ella get tense underneath my touch and I look at her panicked expression as she grabs hold of Sadie. And whispers into her ear. Following her gaze, I notice Jake as she stares at us from across the yard. Luckily, we’re walking to the other side. Placing my hand on the small of her back, I feel her ease before she leans into me. “It’s okay, Babydoll. He’s not coming anywhere near you. But if you want to, we can always leave.”

“No, I don’t want him to take away all my fun.” She looks up at me and I nod.

“Then he won’t.” She’s still looking at me, so I lean in and kiss her, essentially staking my claim on her in front of the entire party. Pulling away, I see her eyes light up and she looks down quickly, smirking. Walking back to where Sadie leads us to, I look over. “Want a drink?” Ella nods and I move over to where we passed them earlier, now that she is safe and secure.

“Well, that didn’t take long, did it?” I hear him say to me as I look over. “I mean, shit. After she lost it, she just started giving it out.”

I take a deep breath before I turn and look at him. He has his groupies all around him. “Oh, don’t make me give you the fucking beating that we both know is coming for you in front of your friends. It’ll embarrass you.”

“They have my back. You can’t take us all.”

“Then clearly, you don’t know my skill set. I could kill you and beat all of their asses before anyone else realized what happened. Now, if you don’t mind. There’s a woman over there who’s definitely worth more than all of you put together.”

I hand Ella her drink back and she looks at me. “What was that about?”

“He wanted to start shit.” I tell her honestly.
