“Our Initiation is going to be in two weeks with the Bacchanal right after.” I hesitate, trying to decide the best way to tell her. Ultimately, I just spit it out. Might as well rip the Band-Aid right off. “But it’s going to be at Club Havoc.”
There isn’t any recognition in her gaze. “Club Havoc?”
“A place where the alumni spend a lot of their time,” I inform her. “Which means most of them are going to be there.”
She absorbs that with a frown. “Is the Initiation still going to be a weird sex thing?”
“It might be.” I hold my hands up before she can say the words that match the look on her face. “But I won’t be taking part if it is.”
Her eyebrows go up. “And if they don’t give you a choice?”
“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,” I reply grimly, thinking of my conversation with Jack Deguerre.
“I thought you had to finish the Initiation to become a full member of Havoc House and get your inheritance. Hasn’t that been literally the only reason you put up with all this shit?”
I shrug that off like it isn’t something I’ve been wracking my brain about for weeks. “I’ll figure it out.”
Her lips purse in annoyed judgment. “You’d think Havoc House would have learned a lesson from the last time.”
“I’m really hoping they have,” I admit ruefully.
The annoyed look she casts me speaks volumes. Evangeline Pratt is not the sort of girl who is okay with sharing.
“From what I understand, the girl is usually willing.”
The look she gives me could take the paint off a fence. “Not funny.”
“Don’t worry. There is only one place that I have any plans on sticking my dick. Or two, technically.” I make a point of surveying her, gaze lingering on her mouth before moving downward. “Maybe three, if you’re in the mood for it.”
That’s enough to get her to crack a smile. Mission accomplished.
“You are absolutely fucked in the head, Van Koch.”
“Okay, four then.” I grab her wrist and yank her closer to me, pressing her against me until her shuddering exhale blows across my jaw. “I’m willing to stick my dick anywhere you want it.”
Evangeline opens her mouth to give some pert response. I close the distance between our lips and roughly kiss the words away. She wraps her arms around my neck and holds on tight as if I’ve suddenly become a port in the storm.
Eventually, she pulls back with a sigh.
“Don’t be mad, but I can’t stop thinking about Olivia,” she confesses. “Why in the hell would she want to pledge Havoc House?”
I was planning to convince her to spend the rest of the night in here with me, but now that just seems insensitive. “You have to put Olivia from your mind. She isn’t thinking about you.”
“I know that,” she snaps.
“Okay.” I rub circles on her back. If Olivia wants to punish her sister, then she picked the best way possible to do it. “What do you want to do?”
Gigi’s answer is immediate. “Make her talk to me.”
“No problem.” My lip quirks. “I’ll get the rope and jumper cables.”
She pinches my belly. “I’m not talking about torturing her, you dick.”
“Good, because I don’t think that would work out the way you want.”
When she looks up at me, her eyes remind me of deep ocean waves. Limpid and wet with the tears she won’t let fall. “I don’t know if I can let her go, even if that’s what she wants.”
“Let’s go have a drink,” I urge. “It’s barely a kickback down there right now. We can just hang out until things get wild.”
