breathe again but I kept silent, just staring at him, attempting to hide it all. He stopped searching my eyes, his own now hooded.
“I’ll take my new friend home tonight and screw her senseless.” I couldn’t hide my painful swallow as the thought speared me, sending out a thousand darts of pain in my chest. Anger made me break my silence.
“She already looks mindless, so don’t try too hard.”
His eyes narrowed and pierced into mine. He came even closer; our bodies flush against each other, his lips a breath away from mine.
“But it will be your body I will be imagining tonight. Just like every other nameless fuck I’ve had since you ended us,” he said gravelly. His words made me shudder as his eyes looked into mine one last time. I could see the hurt and love he had for me and I wanted to let out a sob of despair. Then he was gone. I suddenly felt untethered and ready to fall. I watched his back as he walked toward to the group and I stopped myself from calling out to him. I wanted to go and jump on him and tell him to never let me go. To never forget me. Ivy appeared beside me.
“The Wall of Death? You are crazy,” she laughed. “And I love it.”
“The craziest,” I mumbled, not taking my eyes off Will. I watched him reach his girl and take her hand. He said his goodbyes to everyone and then he was gone. He was taking her home.
And taking my heart with him.
Chapter Four
Past
Will
I had no idea she was Zac’s sister when I first met her at the college party that night. We hadn’t been at the party house long before Zac had found some gorgeous creature and had taken her upstairs. I had lost Noah between walking out of the house and into the backyard, knowing he would have found a girl on the way. My eyes had settled on Janey across the backyard soon after; she was standing and talking to a guy with a beer cup in her hand and she looked downright bored. I thought she was fucking beautiful.
I watched, clearly enthralled, as she looked around the party with the douche bag next to her saying something into her ear. She continued to look disinterested in him as she bit down on the edge of the plastic cup. Her eyes were everywhere, taking everything in. She looked street smart and die-hard beautiful. I wanted her naked and under me - or better yet - on top of me. She looked the type to take control and I had the stirrings of a hard-on just imagining it. I usually liked to take control but just sometimes the thought of a girl taking charge just did something to me.
When her eyes connected with mine, I knew it was time to go and introduce myself and maybe see if she wanted to bite down on anything else besides the cup. I left the girls around me, already forgotten as I headed over to her. I wondered on what to say to her as I made my way over, wondering if she would drop me on my ass with rejection. I couldn’t work out what she would do and the risk of it all sent my excitement levels even higher. I grabbed a fresh beer from the table without stopping. I appeared in front of her and gave her my trademark grin.
“You look like you need another beer.”
Her eyes narrowed onto me, then to the cup in my hand, not making any move to take it from me. She was going to leave me hanging and she looked like she was going to enjoy that fact. I liked her even more.
“Take the beer,” I said taking the now empty one from her other hand.
“I can get her drinks, dude,” said the guy beside her, getting a little antsy at my appearance. She hadn’t taken her eyes off me yet or taken the beer, so I continued on.
“She probably wants a drink without the drugs,” I returned, my eyes still on hers.
“What are you saying? Fuck you, man,” he said stepping closer to me. I smiled at her before turning my gaze onto him. I was a good fighter and I had the ability to hit the right spot for maximum benefit; he’d be out cold in seconds.
“Actually, no, fuck you,” I said calmly.
