Chapter 14
“Is it done?”Dek asks. My eyes find his as he looks up from his phone and leans against the kitchen counter.
“Done. She won’t know what the hell is going on.” I smile at him as I shut my laptop.
This doesn’t make me happy. This sibling squabble as we shall call it. In fact, it bothers me a bit that we are even messing with her like this and not just ignoring her.
Xayden needs to lay off this, but I understand where he’s coming from.
“Going to class today?” Dekker asks before tipping his head back and chugging his drink.
I scrunch my face and shake my head. “Nope. It’s Monday. Not feeling it. Kinda feeling like taking some energy out in the gym instead.”
“Have you talked to Xay at all?”
I frown. “No. He’s been dick deep in pussy since we got back from the diner Saturday. Haven’t you seen the trail of sluts that have been leaving since then?”
Dek shrugs. “Not really. Been busy watching our toy, among other things.” And I know what those other things are.
His father is up for parole. And no one wants that man out. He is as corrupt and evil as they come. There is no way Dekker would have turned out as good as he did if his father was in his life. His dad needs to remain behind bars. And fuck, I hope that parole committee can see that.
Every time he is up, I can see the fear in Dekker’s eyes. Is this the year they get stupid and let a murderer out on the streets again?
Letting Ledger West out of prison would cause Dekker and his mother nothing but problems. It would cause people all over Texas nothing but problems.
“Hey.” I turn to see Xayden coming into the kitchen. He runs a hand through his hair and heads to the refrigerator. “What are you guys up to?” he asks.
“Nothing. Just finished my little project.” I tap my laptop with my fingers.
“What we talked about?” He unscrews a bottle of water and knocks it back.
I nod. “Yup. All done. And no one will know.”
“Good. Maybe that will get her out of here now. She can go crawl back to where she came from,” Xayden snarls.
“Listen, you know I’m standing beside you no matter what, but I have to ask. Why can’t you just not ignore her? Just let her be?”
I watch him grind his teeth, his jaw set impossibly tight. And maybe I shouldn’t have fucking asked that.
“Because,” he finally breaks the silence, “that bitch and her mother are just out for themselves. The trip my dad and I take every year? Remember how he had to cancel because of ‘work’? It was because he was out there in Vegas, with them. His new wife has him so pussy whipped, he ditched me. Went and spent time with them!
“And Rory? She benefits too! She’s taking my dad’s money with no problem whatsoever. And why here? Why did she need to come here? You mean my dad couldn’t just pay for her college back in Vegas? She and her mom are up to something.”
He groans as he runs a hand down his face.
“Bro, I get it, I do. I just want to make sure you’re okay with all of this, truly. Because the shit we are about to do? It will ruin her.”
I study him, making sure he is truly wanting us to do this.
“Then we ruin her.” He nods and then heads back toward the stairs.
“It’s a shame,” Dekker speaks up, pursing his lips in disdain.
“What is?” I turn to look at him.
“She’s a sexy little thing. Felt so hot under me,” he groans.
“Are we still up on that bet?” I ask.
He smirks. “To see who can fuck her first?”
I nod. “Yeah. Unless you have a better idea.”
“Actually, I do.” His face splits into a grin.
“Spill.” I lean in.
“Well, we both know stepbrother up there wants to sink himself into his stepsister. What if we twist it and see if we can make him jealous enough to fuck her?” he offers.
“Oh, fuck. You know I think I like that better. Shit. That’s great.” I laugh.
“Not just good looks, brother.” Dekker taps his head.
Xayden needs to deal with his obsession with his stepsister in a healthier way.
Having her under him is sure to make the holidays way more fun. Sure to spice things up. Create fun conversations around the Thanksgiving table.
“I think I’m going to head to the gym on campus. See if I can get a couple miles in.” I push back from the counter.
“Fucking running.” Dekker waves me off with a snort.
“Hey man, we aren’t all built like the fucking Hulk.”
Dekker pounds his chest. “Hulk smash!”
I let out a howl as I turn toward the stairs to get myself changed. As I reach the top of the stairs, I can clearly hear fake porn moaning from Xayden’s room.
Well, his current pussy is still in there. And he can try to deny it all he wants, but no amount of campus pussy is going to take away the need to fuck Rory.
I see the way he looks at her. It’s the way we all look at her, every guy on campus. She is sexy as fuck.
And I’d bet every last penny I have that her pussy is like a fucking vice for dick. And what I wouldn’t give to have her coming on mine.
When I finally pull up to the campus gym, I walk in and head toward the area of the treadmills. I have a tightness in my neck that I need to run off. Plus, I need to keep myself in perfect condition for the ladies.
I do a few stretches and get myself limber when I notice a certain someone walking on a treadmill. Rory’s roommate. I walk over to the empty treadmill next to her and hop on.
I turn on the treadmill at a walking pace and start slowly walking while staring at her. It takes a couple minutes, but she finally looks at me, stopping her walking.
“What are you staring at, creep?” Her voice is raised, but really, I am not worried. Most people here have headphones on.
I plaster on a grin. “I just wanted to introduce myself. We got off on the wrong foot.” I hold out my hand. “My name is Seven. And you are?”
“No one.” She turns her treadmill back up and starts to walk again.
“No one? That’s an odd name. Could your parents not think of something better?” I tease.
She lets out a groan. “Addy. My name is Addy. Now, leave me alone.”
I tsk. “No can do, Addy. I want to apologize for what happened Saturday,” I offer.
“You mean when you and your frat bros attacked my friend? You guys are assholes,” she huffs.
My lips twist into a frown. “Look, I don’t always agree with my ‘frat bros’, and that was one of the times. Xay and Rory have some shit to work on as new brother and sister.”
“Step,” she interjects. Correct-a-mondo.
I nod. “Stepsiblings. Yeah. Still, I just wanted to apologize.”
“Well, that’s nice. Thanks. But you owe one to Rory. She didn’t deserve what your Shrek of a friend did to her.”
I almost wince. God, this one is full of piss and vinegar.
Nonetheless, I keep on the charm. “You’re right. Dekker can be a bit of an asshole when he drinks. He gets all horny and in a mood to fight. It’s either sex or brawling with that one.” I smile.
She doesn’t say anything to me; she just turns back to what’s in front of her and starts walking.
I bite my lip, I need to find a way to make things better with her.
“Look, I need to apologize to Rory. And I will. I’m trying to convince Xayden to play nice. I know this is not any of her fault.” I frown.
She stops the treadmill and turns toward me. “No, it’s not. Honestly, it’s nice that you want to apologize, but I think it’s just best if you all stay away from her. Just let her do her school thing, you do yours, and everyone can go about their lives.” With that, she hops off and walks away from me.
I shake my head as I throw in my earbuds. I crank up the Chevelle and pick up speed on the machine. Before long, I’m finally at a good pace as my mind swirls with thoughts.
There is a part of me that really wants to reverse what I did earlier to Rory. Because when she finds out, it’s going to set some shit off. Shaking my head, I try to push that thought to the back of my mind and continue my run.
But a nagging feeling keeps creeping up. We may be making a mistake in all of this.
Blinded by the hatred that Xayden has for her.
I don’t think this will turn out how he thinks. I don’t think she’s the girl he thinks she is. And I think no matter what, we will all get fucked in the end.
