Page 14 of The Pact

I watch my old friends. Jace is calming Britney down, the girl on Hunter's lap is sucking on his neck as he watches me out of one eye, and Roman looks stiff and hasn't moved at all. His eyes now on me, I shiver from his intense gaze. He’s changed the most out of the three of them. He looks older than his sixteen years.

“Nah, let's stay here and have some fun.” I tell Em.

Jace looks over at me now. His face is unreadable.

Emerson sits down on the empty end of the sofa, and I observe Jace’s expression as I move in to sit with Em. I watch the way his jaw ticks, and I know I’m pissing him off to the extreme.

Em pats the spot beside him, but I glance once more over to Jace before straddling Em. His large hands go to my waist as he pulls me in close, so I can feel what he’s hiding under those jeans. Maybe a walk isn’t such a bad idea. Nothing like a good fuck to relieve some tension.

With a smirk, I grind down on him. Em sucks in his lower lip and groans a little as he tilts his head back. “Fuck, Mila, did I tell you how sexy you are?”

“Em, she isn't staying, man.” Hunter finally speaks up after being quiet through the whole Britney thing. I’d started to think he might want me here. But I guess the boss man said, “No Mila,” so he was being a good boy and telling me to leave.

I peer at Hunter under my lashes and raise a brow before arching my back and pressing my chest against Em. My nipples peak and the friction sends little flutters lower. Hunter shifts a little, watching as I run my finger up Em’s arm.

Jace growls my name again, and Hunter tries to hide his smile as I wink at him. He knows I’m pushing Jace’s buttons. But in a new way that I had never done before. I don’t know why I’m loving this so much, but I am.

Is Jace jealous? I hope so.

“Fuck you guys,” Em declares. “I always had the hots for Mila. Now she is all grown up and rocking this hot ass body against mine. No way is she leaving…unless it's with me.”

Jace grumbles something as he runs his hands through his hair. It looks messy and sexy. Ugh…no one can piss me off like him.

Why can't we go back to being friends? Why does he have to be an asshole? Yeah, okay, it's been four years, but he could at least understand that those years have been just as hard on me. Did he ever think that I lost all my friends and my father on the same day? No, he’s only thinking about himself.

Roman, my big teddy bear. He’d loved to hug me. Every day I would wake knowing I was getting a Roman hug, and they were the best. No one saw him the way I did. Everyone was scared of him. Even now, I can tell not much has changed on that front. The only other girl in the room watches him warily. Like she wants to reach out and comfort him, but if she did, he would bite her head off.

“Fine, have her. No one else wants her,” Jace calls over to Em.

Well, that hurts.

Em chuckles and I feel it reverberate through my chest. He wraps his arm around me as I sit up, trying to hold me close.

“Who said I wanted anyone else? I didn't. So, you don't need to worry. I'm not gonna be chasing after you, Hunter, or Roman.”

Jace straightens and watches me as Em slides his hand up my back and into my hair. Em is huge…everywhere. His hand grips my hair a little, enough pressure to cause me to gasp and arch my back. Dang, Em was good at this.

“Yeah, Em, you can have her. Just know that I was her first kiss. I was there first.”

It’s like a bucket of cold water hits me while Hunter sits there, his eyes boring into mine, as the room slowly registers what he just said. Fuck.

“What the fuck?” Jace is back up on his feet. Britney thumps to the ground without a chance to right herself. I would have laughed if I didn't know where this is going.

Meanwhile, Hunter moves the girl off his lap to sit beside him. He’s a little nicer with his toys than Jace is.

Roman also stands, his broad chest and the sharp lines of his jaw more prominent as he towers above the other two. He’s so tall now. God, he’s sexy too. Like a Viking. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. This isn’t good. The room seems much smaller now, and I need to hide from the three of them.

Hunter holds his hands up as he faces Jace. “Look, man. I know, alright? I broke the pact. But I didn't think she was coming back, so when she came to me and asked me to be her first kiss, I couldn't say no. You wouldn't have either.”

Jace is mad, but not at that. I know exactly what he’s going to say next. Pushing away from Emerson, I quickly stand. I take a few steps back, but Jace pins me with his glare, his finger pointing at me. “You came to me on that last day and asked me to be your first kiss. So, which one was it, me or Hunter?”

Hunter spins to face me, then Jace. “What the fuck? You kissed her?” he yells. I hear the anger and confusion in his voice and grit my teeth as I watch the two of them square off with each other.

“You just said I wouldn't have said no. You were right—I didn’t when she asked me to be her first.”

“You weren't her first kiss. I was. It was right before her mom came to take her. She rode to my house on her bike and asked me to be her first kiss. She was leaving at two and came to me at…fuck.” Hunter’s brow furrows as he looks down at his fingers. Is he counting? Shit.

“She came to me that same day. Told me she didn’t want to go away and wanted to have her first kiss with me. I was her first.”
