Chapter 31
Cam
I walk down the hallway after hockey practice toward the black box theater. I ran out and got Evan something to eat since Thursday is her late practice. As I draw close, there are voices in the hallway.
I stop to listen before rounding the corner.
“You know there’s always a part for you in my show.” I’m confident that’s Brandt’s voice. “Leaving EvanAnn’s production will show her how much she actually needs you.”
“I’ve got Iago, why would I give that up?” Chase, fucker. “You wouldn’t be able to offer me something like that this late in the game. As an actor, I’d be a fool to give this role up.”
“Like she hasn’t already made you into a fool. EvanAnn sits there lording over you that she’s fucking three guys, and you just let her.” Brandt makes a tsking noise. “You look weak.”
“Weren’t you the one telling me she’s the perfect good girl?
That I could have it all, a girlfriend my parents approved of and my social life because EvanAnn doesn’t have one?
It’s not like anyone would tell her I’m cheating on her?
” Chase laughs bitterly. “I should have just fucked her and then she would have stayed with me.”
“The Devil’s trio was never part of the plan.
” Brandt lowers his voice. “That’s your own fault.
Did you think Damon would let you get away with the hit and run?
That there wouldn’t be consequences? I had to convince Olivia to make a play for him to distract him from coming after you.
I didn’t count on EvanAnn moving in with Damon. ”
“I should have just taken the hit and gone to the police.”
“What good would that have done?” Brandt laughs. “You would have been fined and everyone would have hated you for taking out their king. You did the right thing.”
“He never would have taken EvanAnn from me if I’d gone to the police.”
“Do you honestly believe she would have moved in with Damon Storm and stayed with you? She was always a lost cause. You just couldn’t see it.
Now you want to stay in her play, which is also a lost cause.
Suit yourself. Just don’t come crying to me when it fails.
” Brandt moves away, his voice growing distant.
“Asshole.” Chase mutters before his footsteps move away.
Damon might be right about Brandt playing sides. But that doesn’t mean he has anything to do with the stalking. Though he could be planning to ruin Evan’s show. Stealing her lead would definitely cripple her production at this point.
I wait a few minutes before heading into the theater room, careful to do so quietly because their rehearsal is in full swing. I walk over to sit behind the desk where Keira works. She waves at me as I pass her.
My seat is behind Evan’s. She doesn’t always talk to me during rehearsal, but she knows I’m here, and it gives me time to do my homework. Turns out I just needed a good plan, not really a tutor, but I still like it when Evan tells me what to do.
Chase takes the stage with Hawk. Their dynamic plays well.
Chase’s jealousy of Hawk bleeds through in his performance.
He truly hates Hawk for taking Evan away from him.
Brandt can blame Damon all day for Evan falling for us.
But when it comes down to it, I think Hawk is who pushed Evan over the edge.
None of us could have won her on our own. Not when she thought she had a loyal boyfriend. But Hawk seduced, I flirted, and Damon came through with lust. We work well as a set. At least for Evan.
She finishes giving direction and comes back to the desk. Her eyes light up when she sees me. I got her a cheese quesadilla from a restaurant she loves. I’m going for brownie points tonight since I’m taking her home.
It’s Mom and Dad’s date night, so they won’t notice if I’m not in, and since they took tracking off my phone, I’m free to do what I want.
The actors take the stage again and run through their lines. Fuck, if I keep coming to this, I’ll know their lines. I get out my English Literature book and focus on the paper that’s due.
“Cam?” Evan sits down next to me. Hawk walks our way, but everyone else is gone.
“Maybe I am a good student.” I grin at her.
“Or maybe our play is really boring after the fifth time of the same scene, and you zoned us out.” Evan brushes my hair out of my face. “We’re good to go. Thank you for my quesadilla.”
I turn and press a kiss to the palm of her hand. “Anything for you.”
“Hey, I gotta head home.” Hawk looks between me and Evan. “Do you need anything else, Annie?”
“No, I think we’ve got it.” Evan stands and gives Hawk a hug and kiss.
I gather up my notes and stuff them into my backpack. Hawk hesitates.
“I’ve got her. We’re good.” I stand and put my backpack on before taking Evan’s and tossing it over my shoulder too. “But if you want to ride with us to her house...”
The tension leaves Hawk’s shoulders, and he wraps his arm around Evan’s waist to walk her outside.
She’s riding with me, so he can have this. She locks up, and I notice Brandt’s room is dark. I need to remember to dig a little deeper into Brandt.
We get to the bikes, and I get Evan settled on mine before we ride toward her house. I love riding with Evan on the back of my motorcycle. I’m sure Damon will take over once he’s home again, but maybe I can talk Evan into going on rides with me.
Hawk continues to his house as we stop at Damon’s. We pull up to the garage, and I open the door. She gets off and drops her backpack, and then takes mine and sets it on the floor beside hers.
“Remember when you promised to take me for a ride whenever I needed it?” she asks with her helmet on, so her voice is in my helmet.
“Yeah.” I also remember the last solo ride we took and how amazing she was spread out on my bike as I fucked her.
She comes back to me and climbs on my bike. “Now, please.”
I close the garage door and back up before heading out to the road. “Any place in particular you want to go?”
“I just want to enjoy a night ride with you,” she says softly. “It’s been a rough week.”
It has. I’ve enjoyed spending more time with Evan since Damon was out of town. The social media thing sucks. But it doesn’t seem to have spread farther, and the pictures are still PG, so they don’t have access to Damon’s stash.
Thankfully.
Even though Damon and Evan talk in the night on text, they still aren’t over what happened before he left.
I take it easy through town, but when I get to the highway, Evan holds me tighter.
“Let’s fly, Cam.”
I shift gears, and we take off down the deserted road.
Her arms hold me tight. Ten minutes in I see the little pull off we were at before.
I slow down and ease into the parking area.
There are no other cars around. When I turn off the engine and the light, the darkness and subtle sounds of the night surrounds us.
I take off my helmet, and she slips off the bike behind me. She hands me her helmet and I hook it on my handlebars. I set the kickstand, but don’t get off the bike. She walks over to take in the view. Her arms wrapped around her. Her skirt rippling in the breeze.
“Do you think they’ll photograph us out here?” She looks over her shoulder at me.
“Nah, goody. They’d have to find us first. I think we’re safe.” I lean back on my bike and watch her.
Her gaze is on the city sprawling down below us, a blanket of light in the darkness. This has always been our favorite place to ride to and just hang out. It’s where we came when we decided to fuck Evan all together.
She turns to me and comes closer. “If you had the opportunity, would you really fuck me in front of Chase?”
I give her a slow, easy smile. “As long as he didn’t get to see an inch of you. He could see my dick coated in you and be jealous I have your perfect pussy wrapped around me. See what he could have had if he’d been a better guy. His loss is my gain.”
She glances at the area in front of me and then down at her skirt. “Will you help me on?”
I sit up and help her climb onto the bike in front of me, facing me, her legs over mine. She cups my face. Her thumbs follow the curves of my cheeks and lips and eyebrows.
“I don’t know that I want to do that, but I like imagining the look on his face.” She smirks.
“Yeah, goody? You want revenge? I’d help you get it.”
“Maybe. But no one else gets to have me the way you do. No one but us gets to watch the way you fuck me.” Her blue eyes are hard to see in the dark, but her look is wicked.
“No, they don’t. You like the idea of us getting caught though.”
“The idea of it, but not actually getting caught. I’m just glad we were asleep in Damon’s bed when his dad walked in.” She leans in and presses her lips against mine. A soft kiss with a sigh. “Do you think this will all work out? A future with the four of us.”
“I want it to.” I slide my hand up her thigh beneath her uniform skirt. “I think if we want it to work out, we can make it happen.”
“Are you still lonely, Cam?” Her eyes study me.
Back at the beginning, I told her I was lonely at that party because she wasn’t there. But it wasn’t just that. I felt disconnected.
“No. I don’t feel lonely now that I have you, Hawk, and Damon.
” I grab her hips and shift her closer so she can feel how much I want her, pressing my cock against her pussy.
“My future doesn’t feel as lonely. I don’t have to walk through this world by myself.
With you, I don’t think I’ll ever be lonely again. ”
“Cam?” she says softly, coming in close and wrapping her arms around my neck. There’s only a breath between us.
“Yes, goody.” Our lips are close enough to touch, but neither of us closes the distance. She rocks a little against me, making me groan.
“Fuck me please.” She wets her lips, and her tongue flicks out to touch mine.
I groan before I take her mouth, tasting her tongue with my own. She whimpers into our kiss, and it’s the sexiest noise I’ve ever heard. She’s the sexiest girl I’ve ever fucked.
