His boot slammed into my ribs. Pain exploded in my midsection, and I gagged, rolling away from him. But he didn’t stop. Once I was on my stomach, in the middle of my roll, he slammed his boot onto my spine three fucking times before kicking me in the ribs again. I retched, drool rolling down my chin.
His meaty hand clapped onto my shoulder, and he rolled me to my back before kneeling over me and slamming his fists repeatedly into my face. I was too weak, my head hurting too fucking badly, to fight back. I was dizzy, my moves sluggish. Too damn slow to protect myself.
“She still owed me,” he growled, his thick fingers squeezing my cheeks. I moaned low in my throat. Leaning up on his knees so he was no longer sitting on my legs, he began to yank my sweats down. I tried pushing his hands away, but fuck, I wasn’t even sure if I was hitting him. Everything hurt. “But that’s alright, you little disrespectful fucker. I’ll get my payment from you.”
“Fuck… you,” I groaned, my eyes sliding shut, the darkness beginning to tug me under.
He rolled me onto my stomach, smooshing my nose into the floor. I groaned and turned my head to the side, black spots dancing in my vision. I tried blinking, but was I even blinking? I couldn’t fucking tell. My ears were ringing. My head throbbed.
“What…” I mumbled when I felt his hands grasping at my ass cheeks. “The fuck?” I slurred.
Pain exploded as he shoved his cock inside of me. I screamed, hot tears rushing down my cheeks. His fist slammed into the back of my head all while he grunted, his dry cock fucking in and out of me.
I sobbed, my vision going dark all while I spewed more vomit onto the floor, damn near choking on it.
God, if you’re real, don’t let Ezra and Spence see me like this, I begged.
The world faded to black, explosive, red-hot pain being the last thing I was aware of as his fist slammed into my skull again.
CHAPTER 25
Ezra
LATER THAT DAY
I frowned down at my phone, trying not to show how worried I was. Jaxon told me to leave Logan be, that he would come around when he was ready. But this wasn’t like Logan—not the Logan I’d come to know over the past few weeks. He wouldn’t ignore my numerous calls and texts. He at least would’ve texted Spencer back by now. If he would stop everything he was doing for someone, it was Spencer.
But he hadn’t responded. Wasn’t answering any of our calls either.
And I was sick to my stomach. I knew something was wrong.
I had to go check on him. I couldn’t just sit around, wondering if he was okay. Because all I could picture was that run-down house. The bruise on his face that day we went to go see him when he stayed home from school, playing sick.
He could seriously be hurt.
I dropped a kiss to the top of Spencer’s head. He looked up at me. “You leaving?” he asked, his voice solemn. He’d been down for hours now since Logan started ignoring us.
I nodded. “I need to take care of something at home,” I lied. I hated lying to him. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I didn’t want him freaking out—not yet. And I knew he would. Until I knew if something was truly wrong or not, there was no sense in alarming him. “I’ll be back later,” I promised.
He forced a smile to his lips, and I hated that he was pretending for my sake. “Okay. I’ll go hang out with Shelby. Just let me know when you’re headed back here, and I’ll meet you.”
I smiled at him. “Okay, baby.” Curling my fingers around his chin, I smoothed my lips over his. He gripped my waist, tugging me a little closer. Reluctantly, I released him and pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose. “Stay out of trouble.”
He scoffed. “I’m a good boy, Ezra.”
I winked at him over my shoulder as I headed to the bedroom door. “I know you are, baby boy. The absolute best.”
His cheeks flushed, and I chuckled as I strode out of the room, shutting his door quietly behind me. Then, I jogged down the stairs, heading to the front door. Spencer’s dad was pressure washing the driveway when I stepped outside, and he turned off the sprayer when he noticed me. “Heading out?”
I nodded. “I’m going to check on Logan,” I told him.
He drew in a deep breath, then nodded. “Let me know how he is. I’m thinking he just may suddenly need space, but…” His voice trailed off, but I knew the direction his words had been headed.
Something may actually be wrong.
I swallowed thickly, my Adam’s apple bobbing in my throat. “I will,” I told him. “I didn’t tell Spencer where I was going. I just told him I had something to take care of at home.”
Jaxon nodded. “Probably for the best.” My stomach twisted so painfully, it momentarily stole my breath. Jaxon wasn’t a fan of lying to Spencer, but if he agreed with me, then it could be really fucking bad.
