I twisted the belt, the loop finally loosening enough for me to slip one hand through, followed by the other.
There was no fucking chance Aiden would be getting out of this night unscathed. He thought he could tease me like this and leave me tied up to be with another girl?
He thought I would sit and do as I’m told?
He thought I would begood?
The words were a raging scream in my mind as I got up.
I grabbed the large bowie knife out of my nightstand, a gift from Aiden as a joke, but it was funny I would finally get to laugh about it like this.
I headed right for the garage, cutting through the living room first. I could feel Aiden’s eyes tracking me as I walked past everyone. I waved the knife with a sweet smile. I didn’t even glance over, already knowing he would be surprised to see me untied, but I wished I could have seen the moment he realized I had freed myself.
Rook groaned. “What are you doing?”
“Who me? I need something from the garage. Where are the hammers?”
“Hammers?” Rook echoed.
“Yeah, the things you smack other things with. I need one.”
“There’s one in the big toolbox,” Mason said, and I shot him a sweet smile.
“Thank you.”
“Why do you need a hammer when you have a knife, Evie?” Aiden asked, and I loved the edge of concern in his tone. He had to hide in front of everyone, but he would have already known I would come for him.
“A little experiment.” I disappeared into the hallway that led to our garage where everyone’s bikes are parked. I could feel the snarl on my face as I thought of that girl lying on top of him,grabbing him,touchingeverything that felt like mine, and he thought I was going to be okay with it. I waved the knife again, knowing they couldn’t see me now.
“What kind of experiment?” Hero yelled, his excitement clear.
“I want to see if a motorcycle will still run if I stab my knife through the gas tank,” I yelled, grabbing the hammer out of the first toolbox.
The yells and pounding of footsteps heading my way only spurred me on faster.
I made it to Aiden’s bike and positioned the knife, hitting it hard once with the hammer. I knew it was going to take some work, but I didn’t mind getting my hands dirty.
Rook made it through the door first, immediately stepping out of the way and letting the rest of them make it inside. Everyone stopped and I’m sure relief went through them when they realized it wasn’t their bike.
Aiden would have already known this was about him.
“Dude, what did you do?” Mason asked.
“It’s pretty easy to piss her off, but what the fuck, Aiden?” Rook asked.
I slammed the hammer down, the knife breaking through the metal finally. Two more hits and it slammed in to the hilt. Aiden watched, silent as I broke his bike.
“Oops,” I said, staring at Aiden. “That was easier than I thought.”
“Oh fuck.” Rook was already shaking his head and heading back inside. “Don’t kill her or I have to kill you and then I will be pissed.”
Aiden stood watching me. I could have sworn it was heat in his eyes, but he gave nothing away.
“Everybody get the fuck out,” Aiden snarled. “Zack, take the girl home for me.”
Zack frowned, his eyes locking on mine. “Seriously?”
“Yes. Is there an issue?”
