Glaring at my back, of course.
I force my legs to stop, which cues Zander and Ares to pause as well. Letting go of their hands for a moment, I turn to face Domino, who reaches me in two steps.
I’m thankful we’re standing between two pillars, the entrance to the courtyard only a few steps away. For a moment, it feels like the world has come to a standstill with no one coming our way or near our surroundings.
The perfect opportunity.
“That better not happen again.”
Domino is staring at me like I just spoke in a language he can’t understand. He opens his mouth to speak, but I’m not done with my declaration.
“That cunt of a bitch could have hurt your fellow Ruthless King, and all you did was stand there?”Why the fuck am I so angry?It’s a question I have to ask myself as I stand there with clenched fists. “You give me more hate for existing than you directed at a woman who could have killed Zander back there.”
“She wouldn’t have?—”
“Don’t defend someone who lost their chance to remain in your life,” I cut him right off. I sense the tension between us spike just as I feel the rigid figures of Ares and Zander as they stand at my sides.
“You don’t know fucking shit,” he lowly growls as his eyes narrow at me. “You’re just a useless bitch who’s supposed to submit to us. So, instead of daring to lecture your Ruthless King, shut the fuck up and get out of my face.”
Oh, I don’t do that.
It wouldn’t be me to back down from confronting my stupid bully.
That’s why my finger is pointing into his chest while I’m right in his personal space. He freezes in place as his eyes lower to my finger. He could snap it in a heartbeat if he wanted to, but I’m trembling with rage at his words.
For him to defend his actions like he isn’t betraying us in some way.
That’s what it feels like.
Betrayal.
A feeling that triggers me to my fucking core.
“A useless bitch with bigger balls to go tell that cunt ass ex of yours to leave my men alone!” I snarl venomously as my eyes mimic his narrowed ones. “I don’t care if she had the best pussy you’ve ever enjoyed, Leighton, Jr.”
“What did you just say?” he questions with a seething dominance that makes me smile defiantly.
“Leighton, Jr,” I emphasize. “And it’s going to stay that way until you grow some fucking balls!” I poke his chest three more times, as if each poke would tame the boiling anger inside me before I huff and spin around. “Bros before fucking hoes! You better remember that the next time you see that red-haired bitch.” I take two steps forward but stop because it’s not enough.
I’m not satisfied.
Spinning around again, I walk back up to him, wrap my hand swiftly until I have a chunk of his tie in my grasp, and pull him down with enough strength to surprise the shit out of the muscled beast.
Before I think, his lips are against mine, and I’m kissing him with pure fury. A fierce kiss you’d deliver to your mortal enemy.
My Ruthless King is too stunned to speak.
I realize from the quiet gasps and a few whistles that my hope of being hidden is long gone.
I don’t fucking care.
Breaking the kiss, I purposely bite his bottom lip as punishment.
“And until this contract is over, you’re MY Ruthless King. So remember that before you get wooed away by fake ass hoes with loose pussies and even weaker empires.”
That gives me enough satisfaction to let him go.
Without waiting for any of them, I walk away with the intention of finding my locker, throwing my shit in it, and getting to class, so I can be annoyed in the comfort of my desk.
