Caden sits next to Luke, drawing my eyes. He’s a beast of a man. No one in their right mind would call him a boy. His expression is blank, like we could be talking about the weather.
“As long as you do what we say, all of us will keep you safe and take care of you,” Caden says.
“Do as you say?” My brain can’t help turning to some pretty fucked up things they could make me do. “I’m still not seeing how this arrangement is beneficial to me. You want to take my virginity.”
“We want you togiveyour virginity to us,” Luke clarifies. His eyebrows lower. “We won’t take anything you don’t want to give us.”
“You think I want to give you control over me?” I laugh, but it’s a tight, high laugh, almost hysterical. Fuck these guys. “You know I only have one virginity to give, right?”
They all give hungry smiles at my words. Fuck if that horny little bitch inside me volunteers as fucking tribute. I’m going to need to bind and gag her, but I’m afraid she’d like that.
Luke leans in. “So many firsts to share with us. Sure, only one of us can push our cock into your cunt for the first time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all be there when it happens.”
I suck in a breath and recoil in my chair. All be there? As in all participate? I haven’t been with one guy, and suddenly they want me to be with all four of them like this is normal?
I can’t win this game. I feel it down in my bones. These beautiful, evil boys will take everything I have until I’m empty.
“Why would I agree to that?” I have to ask because they must know what they’re saying is insane and no girl would willingly subject herself to it. Especially a girl who hasn’t given up anything to one man, let alone four. “It’s not like you’re all agreeing to date me. You just want to use me to keep your perfect fucking record. Once you’ve had me, you’ll toss me to the side like all the others.”
Luke rubs his chin. I can almost see the calculations in his eyes. “What would it take?”
For me to agree to this insanity? I almost laugh out loud. I’ll never agree, but they’ll keep coming at me. Forcing me into situations where I have no choice but to do what they want or be further humiliated. They don’t give a shit about what I want.
Fine, they want to playlet’s negotiate for my virginity, let’s negotiate.
“A fucking choice to begin with. You could just forget about me.” I lean forward, ready to bluff the fuck out of this. “I’ll find a boyfriend and get on losing my virginity as soon as possible so you don’t leave any virgin behind.”
A growl on my left makes me glance at Eli. A shiver races down my spine. Oh, he doesn’t like that option. Well, fuck him.
“What? You guys make exceptions for girls with boyfriends all the time. I’m pretty sure I can find someone who will only want to dick with me this year.” I actually start turning like I’m going to look around the cafeteria for said dick.
Caden is the next to growl. Okay, so that sound does something to the primal part of me that doesn’t mind being possessed by the hottest, strongest males around.
“Harper.” Luke says my name sharply, drawing my eyes back to him. He folds his hands together in front of him. “We made those exceptions before. That’s correct. But you aren’t just any virgin we can pass off to the first male that piques your fancy. You’ve had three years to divest yourself of your virginity. Obviously, it’s not a priority to you.”
“But it is to you?” I mimic his posture.
Luke smirks. “Fine. If you can find one guy in this cafeteria willing to be your boyfriend and do the deed, we’ll let you go.”
I smile. Easy enough. What guy doesn’t want a willing female? And I can hold off one guy all fucking year if I have to. Better one asshole than four.
“But”—Luke reaches out and grabs my chin, holding me so I can only look at him—“if you don’t, you agree to submit to our rules.”
“For how long?”
“As long as it takes.” Luke gives me a filthy smile.
I consider the four guys who have their undivided attention on me.
For now.
“Do you honestly think I want to get everyone’s sloppy seconds?” I point at the table of still giggling girls Jack flirted with. Girls I’ve had in classes throughout school. Girls who talk about the horsemen in the locker room in bragging tones. “Youall seem fucking excited that I’m untouched. But you guys have gotten around, and I’m guessing you don’t have any plans on keeping it in your pants while waiting for me to come to terms with what you want.”
“Are you asking us to be monogamous?” Caden leans forward. His green eyes flash with anger and something dark. “When you haven’t even agreed to put out?”
“Yup.” I cross my arms and sit back in my chair. “If I’m expected to give it up to you all, then shouldn’t you have to give something up too?”
“The whole year.” Luke draws my attention away from Caden’s sputtering.
