Harper isn’t like the rest of them, but she isn’t soft or overly trusting. She’s a firecracker bursting to be set free.

“She’s like this untapped well of potential.” Jack stands and leans against the wall to watch the game. “She wants more, but she’s afraid to go after it.”

Her wide brown eyes after kissing us in the field light up in my memory. Confusion and horror splashed all over her face. And desire. She wants us. She needs us to unlock the door and show her what she can become. How much pleasure she can take.

When I drew away today, she came after me. Her mouth hot on mine. Her hands digging into my hair until I wanted to spread her out on the table and take her in front of the entire student body. Show them how she’s mine.

Eli misses his next shot. “She needs time. If we push her too fast, she’ll balk. We’ll hit a wall she won’t be able to get past. For fuck’s sake, the girl just had her first kiss yesterday.”

She’s also been starving for attention. She wants everything we can show her and fears it at the same time.

I blow across the chalked tip and line up my shot. He’s right. I know he’s right, but when she’s in my arms I lose all sense ofmyself and only feel the need. The need to sink into her, claim her, mark her as mine. Prove to her she belongs to me. To us.

I squeeze my eyes shut and focus on the shot. When I open my eyes, I tap the cue ball. It clips the ball I want to go into the side pocket. It falls in easily.

“Fine. I won’t push for this weekend, but I want this grounding gone soon. Especially if it’s fictional.” I line up my next shot. “She can come to terms with being owned by us.”

“I don’t think she’ll ever come to terms with that,” Jack says with a smirk. “I bet a hundred dollars she’s hoping one of us fucks up this weekend and sleeps with someone else.”

“How will you ever know?” Caden asks. “You a mind reader now? What am I thinking now, dickwad?”

“That you wish you were my type, so I’d suck your monster cock.” Jack winks at Caden, who rolls his eyes.

“Actually I was hoping you and Eli would fall madly in love and leave Harper to me and Luke.” Caden wiggles his eyebrows at him. “I swear I feel the tension between you two all the time. Eli’s just afraid to give in to his darker side.”

“Fuck off, Caden.” Eli leans against the wall and turns to look at Jack. “Jack’s and my love may be quiet, but we’ll always have sophomore year.”

“Not that shit again.” I roll my eyes as I line up for the winning shot. “Eight ball in the far corner pocket.”

“Just because you can’t understand brotherly love doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, Luke.” Jack smirks.

“You tag-teamed two girls. It’s not like he buried his dick in you.” I take the shot and sink the eight ball. Putting my stick up on the rack, I grab a beer. “I have the Harper thing under control.”

This desire to keep her all to myself will diminish. To take everything she has to offer. To feel every inch of her against me. To bury myself in her over and over again until my cum leaks outof her pussy, ass, and mouth. Until she is thoroughly, irrevocably mine.

Shit.

Yeah, maybe a weekend away from her will be a good thing. I’ll find my control again. I’ll get her taste out of my mouth and out of my head so when next week comes around, I’ll be able to concentrate on breaking down her boundaries one by one.

“Eli, you pick up our girl tomorrow for school.” I take a drink of my beer.

Eli nods. “Of course.”

“Keep her in line tomorrow, Caden.” I take another drink. “I’ll focus on school. You all focus on her.”

Harper

Their rooms are empty. It’s almost nine and they haven’t even texted me. I suppose I should be thrilled and grateful they’ve left me alone. I finished my homework and watched some TV with Mom before coming upstairs to stare into their empty rooms.

No one told me to turn it on tonight. Jack dropped me off earlier with a kiss that stoked the fire inside me. I’ve got on long pajama pants and a camisole since a t-shirt simply won’t do, and I don’t want to change it.

I take out the historical romance I’ve been reading and get caught up in the story. It feels different to read the sex scenes now that I’ve been kissed. I keep thinking about that kiss with Luke in the cafeteria. I’m not sure why he melts my brain more so than the others. Not that the others don’t make me melt, but I don’t feel stupid for falling for their kisses.

A noise sounds on my computer. I look up to see Luke in his bedroom. No one else is in their rooms yet. He sits down at his desk and meets my eyes. My heart races and my stomach clenches.

“Have you had a good night?” His voice is low and there’s a slight slur to his words.

I straighten on my bed and set my book down. “I did homework and watched some TV with Mom.”
