Chapter 10
The Execution
Harper
I tighten my hand on Penny’s and she squeezes mine to reassure me. I can’t do this on my own. If she leaves, I’ll need to abort the mission. “Penny has to stay. I wouldn’t want them to hurt her because of me.”
Ethan lifts his leering gaze from me and takes in Penny. He smirks. “You’re used to doing things with multiple partners. We could make this work.”
She gives him a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes, but it doesn’t matter to him. Of course it doesn’t matter. He’s literally after one thing. He’s the one who asked the guys when he could take a turn with me, so fuck him. Everything we do to him he deserves.
The line moves and we move with it.
Bracing myself, I act like I just thought of something. “You know, I bet I could find a bathroom with no line. I’ve been in Caden’s house a lot.”
“There’s a code on the door.” Ethan acts like I’m the idiot here.
“I know the code.” I smile because I need to get him to come with me and do everything I say. That’s the whole point.
“Sounds good.” Penny giggles and pulls me toward the door. I glance up at the camera. I hope they’re watching.
We reach the door with Ethan trailing us. I put the code in carefully, blocking it from both of them. Penny distracts Ethan by asking him about the football game she missed. I don’t need anyone having access to this part of the house even though this is a temporary code set to expire.
When I open the door, we step into the quiet, darkened hallway. My body tenses. This is the part none of my guys liked. Me with just Penny and Ethan. Alone in the house with no way to stop him if he gets aggressive.
I swallow.
“There’s one right down here.” I keep Penny’s hand and lead them down the hallway. I turn the knob and open the door to the huge bathroom. When I step inside, both Penny and I turn to Ethan.
“Do you mind if we freshen up?” Penny asks and glances purposely at the toilet. “I need to powder my nose. We weren’t in line for fun.”
Ethan glances around and then leans against the wall across from the door. “Sure, go ahead.”
We close the door and lock it.
“That part was easy.” Penny walks over to the toilet and pulls her panties down.
“Whoa.” I turn my back on her.
“What? I really have to pee.”
I turn on the water to hide the sound of her peeing and to cover our voices. “Do you have the extra panties?”
“Yeah, this skirt has pockets.” She flushes the toilet and washes her hands in the running water. She turns to meet my eyes as I lean against the counter. “Are you sure you can do this? We can call it off right now. I can pretend to be sick and we can go back to the party.”
“No, I need to do this.” Can they humiliate him without me? Yes, but this will help solidify me as part of them—not just the chick they’re all banging—to everyone coming after us.
“Okay.” She checks the door leading into the other room to make sure it’s unlocked. Then she pulls out the extra panties. “Hurry.”
I slide the panties Caden wanted me to wear off and pull on the extra.
Then I put back on the main pair. This was the part of the plan that I asked way too many questions about.
Why didn’t I just wear two pairs of panties to begin with?
Why didn’t I find a way to carry them? Why not leave an extra pair in this bathroom?
Though there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to hide them.
Why do I have to take them off in front of Ethan?
And how on earth do I make him do what they want me to ask him to do?
Caden answered the first one by slipping his hand between my legs under the skirt and pressing the panties up against my pussy. “I want them to smell like you, little nympho. And now they’ll smell like me too.”
“Are you ready?” Penny wrings her hands. “Have you ever done anything like this before?”
I shake my head and smile. “Nope, but we’re going to get through this. You aren’t chickening out, right?”
“I’m good.” She smiles and tucks her hair behind her ear.
I take her hand and a deep breath, then open the door. Ethan steps away from the wall with a grin.
“Girls.”
I laugh like I’m nervous, which isn’t far from the truth. “We were talking, and if I’m going to risk getting punished, I want to do something I’ve never done before.”
His eyebrow goes up, but his smile is lecherous. “What do you want?”
“Let’s play truth or dare.” I give him a hopefully tempting smile.
“Oh, yes, let’s.” Penny grins at me as if I’m amazing.
He glances down the hallway both ways. It’s like I can see the hamster wheel turning in his head.
“Fine, but we can’t do it out here in the open.” Good. That means he’s still afraid of the horsemen. That means this should work.
“The bathroom?” I back into it and hold my hand out to show him how big it is.
He steps in after us and shuts the door. “Yeah, this will do nicely.”
“Sit down on the floor.” Both Penny and I wait until Ethan begins to lower himself before we sit across from him. Neither of us wants to give him any more ideas.
“Truth or dare, Harper.” Ethan’s blue eyes latch onto me.
“Truth.” The guys told me never to pick dare with Ethan. There’s no telling what he might make me do.
He smirks. “Have you really sucked all the horsemen’s cocks?”
“Yes.” I don’t hesitate with my answer. It doesn’t matter if he knows any of what I’ve done with them. That’s not the point of this.
I turn to Penny. “Truth or dare, Penny.”
“Dare.” Penny arches her brow at me with a smile.
“Kiss me for thirty seconds,” I say it like I mean it. This was the part Luke didn’t want, but I have to do something to get Ethan to pick dare when it comes back to him. I don’t want to waste a lot of time going back and forth.
Penny turns to Ethan as she wets her lips. “You’ll time us?”
“Fuck, I’ll record it if you want.” Ethan pulls out his phone.
“No recording.” I shake my head. We can’t give Ethan any leverage.
Jack will be watching this live covertly and recording the room for potential blackmail later.
The recording will be protected. After we finish with Ethan, I don’t want him to have anything he can use against me.
I soften the blow with a sad smile. “I’m still trying to get over that picture that got sent around. ”
“You’re ten times hotter than that photoshop job.” Ethan’s gaze flows over my body.
I smile like that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. But when his gaze lingers on my breasts, I fight not to roll my eyes.
“Ready when you are.” Ethan smirks.
I draw in a breath and turn to Penny. She touches my cheek and leans in. It feels one hundred percent wrong. I almost call it quits, but instead, I lean in and our lips meet. Her lips are soft and there are none of the sparks I feel with my guys. But it’s not awful.
We open our mouths but that’s it. No tongue. Pretty sure this is all it will take for Ethan to pop a boner. The timer goes off and Penny sits back. Her smile to me is shy and her cheeks are flushed. I’m sure mine are too.
Mostly from embarrassment, but we talked about it beforehand.
I wet my lips and wait for Penny.
Penny turns to me. “Truth or dare, Harper.”
I make sure Ethan’s phone is down. “Dare.”
Penny’s brown eyes sparkle. “Take off your panties.”
Standing and giggling, I reach under my skirt and pull down the lacy black panties, careful to bend so Ethan won’t see anything even though I have another pair on. I step out of them and sit down on the floor again.
“Done.”
Ethan’s eyes flare hot. I almost shake my head. Instead, I purse my lips and look between Ethan and Penny a few times like I’m undecided.
My gaze stops on Ethan. “Truth or dare, Ethan.”
“Dare.” He almost rubs his hands together in anticipation. Asshole.
“Take off your clothes and put these panties on.” I dangle them out toward him.
He smirks. “Seriously?”
“What? You’ve got a good body. You could totally pull these off.” I arch an eyebrow.
“I think it would be hot,” Penny adds with a nod. Her gaze drops to his crotch and she licks her lips.
“The silky texture feels nice against my bare pussy.” Thank fuck for Eli telling me exactly what to say. “I bet it will feel fantastic on your cock.”
He straightens and narrows his eyes at the two of us. “Fine, but I get to dare both of you on my turn.”
“Okay.”
He snatches the panties out of my hand and we both get up. He looks at us with suspicion.
“We want to be surprised.” I touch his shoulder and wink. “We’ll wait right outside that door.”
We go out the door and lock it from the outside.
“You okay?” Eli’s voice damn near gives me a heart attack. He clicks off his phone where I assume he was watching the video feed.
I turn and he steps out of the office across the way. His gaze takes in me and Penny.
“He took the bait.” Penny joins her hands behind her and preens like she deserves an award. Maybe she does.
“Good.” He nods to the door to the party. “You can go back and enjoy the show.”
Penny pulls me in for a quick hug. “I had fun tonight. The talking I mean. It was good. We should get together when it’s not about boys sometime.”
“Yeah.” I step back and brush my hair behind my ear. “Maybe.”
She smiles. “I’m going to be your friend, Harper Davidson, just you wait and see.”
Turning, she opens the door and the sounds of the party spill out into the hallway before she pulls it shut.
Eli steps forward and pulls me into his arms, wrapping them around my shoulders. I rest my head against his chest and hold him around his waist. “You did well, kitten.”
I let out a mocking laugh. “It didn’t feel good.”
His chest rumbles beneath my ear. “You didn’t like kissing Penny?”
“No.” I sigh. “You guys have ruined me for normal kisses.”
“Is that so, kitten?”
I nod and breathe in his warm scent.
“Do you want to see the show?”
My heart stops. “I don’t know if I should. He’s going to be pissed.”
“He won’t hurt you. We won’t let anyone hurt you.”
The door knob of the bathroom rattles and we both turn to look at it. “Girls? The door is stuck.”
“There’s another door, just a second and I’ll go around to open it,” I yell loud enough to be heard. The bathroom is fairly soundproof, which is why we couldn’t hear the party going on on the other side of it.
Eli draws me over to the party door and opens it. The party vibes have quieted down as everyone blinks into the light. Jack holds up his hands for everyone to be quiet. As his gaze sweeps the crowd, he catches sight of me and winks.
He nods at Caden and Nico.
Eli brings me forward as Nico opens the door to the bathroom. Ethan’s smile fades as he realizes what’s happening. He’s completely naked with the exception of my silky panties. Caden steps in when Ethan tries to shrink away and grab his clothes.
Caden ushers him out into the party in just my lacy thong that doesn’t quite cover his junk, but he made a good attempt. He’s still hard.
I scan the crowd to get a read on the room. Phones are up and cameras flash. Guys laugh. Some guys wince. Girls giggle and talk behind their hands to their friends. My gaze falls on Penny. She stands with Nat toward the back and Nat gives me a grateful smile.
Luke walks over, clapping his hands slowly. “Ethan Parker. You look good in my girlfriend’s panties.”
Ethan’s face burns red. Rage, embarrassment. It doesn’t really matter. It matters that we get our point across. If you mess with me, we’ll mess with you back.
Caden holds onto the back of Ethan’s neck, keeping him from hiding.
“You wanted our girl, Ethan.” Luke steps closer. “Did she not live up to your fantasies?”
“Why would I want your whore?” Ethan spits out.
“She’s not a whore. Even though you wanted to make her one.” Luke’s gaze finds me. He’s giving me the option to join him or to stay on the sidelines and watch.
“What do you want to do, kitten?” Eli whispers in my ear.
I could let them take care of this. Let them resume their rule or I can stand with them. Prove that I’m worthy of their attention.
I step toward Luke and both Eli and Jack clear a path for me. Luke draws me into his side.
Ethan sneers at me, which is a little funny given he’s in my panties. “You think she’s yours? Then why did she give me her panties?”
Luke glances down at my skirt and lifts the back, revealing the silky panties I have on to the crowd watching. “My girl has on her panties.”
“Ask Penny, she was in there with us.” Ethan’s closing the trap around himself.
This time Natalie steps up with Penny behind her. “Penny was with me this whole time.”
“Fucking liar.” Definitely rage on Ethan’s face now.
Natalie smiles. “We both know who the liar is. Don’t we, Ethan?”
“Get off me, man.” Ethan tries to pull away from Caden, but Caden tightens his hold.
“Did you think we’d actually let you get our girl alone?” Caden’s words are quiet but ring loud in the room. “That we would let you put so much of a finger on her?”
Caden’s green eyes lift to mine and I straighten, showing him my strength.
“Did you smell them?” He gives me a smirk.
“They were soaking wet for me.” Ethan tries to bluster his way through this.
Caden laughs. “You’ve got my cum on your cock, asshole. She’s wet because I fucked her, because she’s mine.”
“Fucker,” Ethan says under his breath. His gaze lifts to mine. “Fuck you, bitch.”
I just shake my head. Ethan makes a strangled noise and falls to his knees. Caden’s face is blank as he pushes Ethan down.
“She’s ours.” Caden lifts his head and his green eyes capture everyone in the audience. “You enjoy my hospitality. You want us to be merciful. Then know that Harper Davidson is off limits. You fuck with her, we’ll fuck with you.”
