“So, it’s pity,” he says, his smile returning just a little.
“No, it’s not pity. I’d do anything I could for you guys.”
He makes a tsking sound. “You know, that’s why I hate dating. I’m a jealous guy. I don’t like this Tak kid.”
I laugh this time. “Shut up. You’d like him. He’s a cute kid. I think he could use a few friends.”
“Friends.” He looks me over. “Is that what we are?”
“Yeah, you’re stuck with me for life.”
“Do friends help their friends get off a nut? I woke horny as fuck today,” he says and wiggles his brows.
“You’re an asshole,” I scoff, but there’s no real heat to it.
“It was worth a try. I’ll still take you to Paris. As a matter of fact, we can go as soon as they let my ass out of here. I’m so tired of these four walls,” he groans.
“I guess you’re going to survive. You’re already lining up pussy,” comes from behind me.
His voice sends goose bumps up my arms and across the back of my neck. The room charges with that energy he gives off. I don’t have to turn to know it’s him. However, when I do, I’m trapped by that intense jade gaze.
Pit.
Pit
I walk up to Kelex’s hospital room door and the first thing to grab my attention is the girl sitting by his bedside. Her hair is piled on top of her head. The front is dark, but from behind, the back is rainbow colored.
Skittles. It makes sense. The sexy ass chick with the Aston Martin.
My chest is already burning with jealous before I hear Kelex tell her he’ll take her to Paris. Once the words are out of his mouth, I’m consumed by irrational envy. I haven’t been able to get this girl off my mind since that night. Just my fucking luck, I do the time and this asshole gets the girl.
“Jealous,” Kelex says with a smile on his lips.
I flip in the bird and turn to get the fuck out of here. I don’t know what made me come here in the first place. I’d been so pissed after leaving the estate, I didn’t know where to go or what my next move would be.
“Hey, wait,” she calls from behind me.
I don’t stop. I need to get the fuck out of here. I can’t figure out anything I need to do dicking around in this hospital.
“Will,” she calls out.
That gets my attention. I spin on her so fast she takes a step back. I narrow my gaze as I look her in the eyes.
“What the fuck did you just call me?”
“Will, that’s your name, right? Or do you prefer William? I’m Mayven, but my friends call me Ven or Skittles.”
“I’m not your friend and you’re not mine. You won’t be calling me shit, especially not Will,” I say.
I hate that name. Thaddeus always says it like it tastes like shit to him. How can someone make you have disdain for your own name from the way they say it? I shake the thought off.
She frowns. “You don’t have to be an asshole. I wanted to thank you and see how you’re doing with your bitch ass,” she replies.
Now that shit almost brings a smile to my face. If I wasn’t having such a fucked-up day, it might have. I take a moment to take her little ass in.
She has heeled boots on her feet, so I’d say she’s actually about five four, five five. Up close her body is as hot as I remember. Her tits are huge and her hips flare and announce that ass I couldn’t tear my eyes off of the first time I saw her.
She has dark bangs covering her forehead. From the front you wouldn’t know she has rainbow colored hair in the back. I close the distance between us and brush the bangs out of her face.
When the scar comes into view, I suck in a sharp breath. She frowns and takes a step back, trying to cover her forehead back up. I’m pissed, I was able to get a text out to get her a plastic surgeon to fix that shit.
It was a favor I was owed. What the fuck happened? Granted, she’s still fucking gorgeous. Those juicy lips and pretty eyes are killer. However, she now has about an inch and a half scar that looks like it’s coming out of her scalp.
“Why the fuck do you look like Harry Potter? My guy should have made that shit go away,” I growl.
“Wow,” she says and jerks her head back. “You’re a dick. And to answer your question. I knew the doc. He’s a friend of the family. When I saw him, I had to bail. Luke stitched me up the best he could. He has some EMT training.”
“I’m going to beat his fucking ass.”
“No, you’re not. He did what he could. Besides, you’re making it seem a lot worse than it is.”
“If it’s not that bad, why are you hiding it?”
“If you must know, it pisses my father off every time he sees it,” she replies.
I scoff. “Yeah, whatever.”
I turn to leave. This chick is doing a number on my thoughts. She smells like something I want to eat. All fruity and shit.
I wonder if her pussy tastes as good as she smells.
Damn, fucking Kelex and his burned ass. I swear, a part of me wants to light his dick on fire. If I would have left his ass, I would have gotten the girl and stayed the fuck out of trouble.
“Hey, asshole, wait. I have something for you,” she calls after me.
“You made your choice, I don’t share,” I toss back over my shoulder and keep going.
“What? I have the key to your car.”
I stop in my tracks and turn to her. She’s frowning at me again. Without a word,
