Jack and Luke join us. Jack grins like he can read my dirty thoughts.
Luke captures the back of my neck and tugs me into a smoldering kiss. I’m soaking wet and ready for whatever they want to do, but I know this is more of a working lunch.
Luke leans into my ear. “Next period, princess.”
I clench my thighs together against the ache caused by the promise in his voice. Mr. Flack will let us both go to the bathroom. As long as Sidney isn’t there this time, I’m okay with it.
Luke adjusts his cock as he sits down. Jack passes out lunch from the tray he brought. I grab my lunch bag and hand a sandwich to Caden.
“First thing, Sidney.” Eli hands me an apple.
I blow out a breath. “She’s queen bee. How do we take her down?”
Jack smirks. “Check your phone, sweetheart.”
Okay? I lift my phone and open it. There’s a new file on my screen. I click it and open a file and screenshots along with pictures. I barely taste my sandwich as I take in what I’m looking at.
“That’s everything we have on Sidney Brown.” Jack nods as I set my phone to the side.
“Why haven’t you used it before?” They’ve said they have files on everyone.
Luke shrugs. “She was willing to play ball. She’s a power we know. If we take her down, someone will rise into the vacuum and we don’t know who that might be. We can control her or we can blow her up. That’s what that file can do.”
I swallow. “Why do I have it?”
“Because she came after you, princess. Now you get to decide whether she stays or goes.”
CHAPTER 29
The Inside Man
Caden
Harper plucks her lip as she stares at her phone. Luke watches her. He wants to step in and protect her, but it has to be Harper. None of us know what she’ll do. She’s been soft-hearted when it comes to us, but Sidney has been making her life difficult.
If we take care of this for Harper, she’s right. They’ll keep coming after her. She needs to prove she’s strong.
“How did you get these pictures?” She swipes through them, turning her phone occasionally. “How do you know it’s her?”
We’re all aware of what’s in Sidney’s file. Her parents are wealthy, but a few years ago, they put her on an allowance after she spent too much on a shopping spree. That’s when Sidney started on a webcam service to sell nude pics and videos.
She’s careful not to show her face, but that doesn’t mean Jack couldn’t track it down. Especially since he has access to almost everyone’s phone.
Luke clears his throat. “Her birthmark and the tattoo on her ankle.”
He looks uncomfortable. He must have gotten scolded yesterday too. I smirk. It’s weird but nice that she’s standing upto us. It’s no longer defiance. It’s morphed into a balancing act I’m not sure any of us will handle well. But she’s worth it.
We’ll all figure this out because there isn’t another option. We’re keeping Harper.
Her lips tighten a little, but she doesn’t respond. She turns the phone on its side. “Why pudding?”
I glance at her screen. The video is just feet squishing in pudding. Some kinks I just don’t understand. If Harper were into it though, I’d consider it.
“Foot fetish.” Jack chuckles and leans back on the bleachers. “Easy money and you just have to do weird shit with your feet. Wait until you get to the one with the banana.”
Harper’s eyes widen when she raises her gaze to Jack. She shakes her head and puts her phone to the side. “What am I supposed to do with this?”
“Whatever you want, little nympho.”
