Hunter catches her gaze and gives her his panty-dropping smile. I ignore him and get the aftercare pack ready so she can leave with her friends, who are all standing outside, giggling.
“Hi there. I’m Ruby, and you are?” She puts her hand out to shake Hunter’s, and he chuckles, reaching out to her.
“Well, hello there, Ruby, I’m—”
I cut in and jam the sheet and aftercare cream into her hand. “He’s sixteen and about to leave.”
Her mouth drops open. I don’t know if it’s at the shock of his age or that I’ve spoken to her for the first time. She pulls her hand back and grips the aftercare to her chest.
“Hey, fucker.” Hunter shakes his head at me, a smile still on his lips as he turns to her. “What I lack in age, I make up for in skill.”
Ronnie laughs at that. “Yeah, yeah, Mr. Ego. Use your lines somewhere else.”
I chuckle, and Hunter shakes his head, because his lines do work. Just not on college chicks. Ruby leaves and I turn to Hunter, who is staring at me like I just grew another head.
Fuck.He’s here about the kiss. Fuck, that was more than just a kiss. I devoured Mila in front of them all. They’ve never seen me lose control like that. Is Hunter angry with me?
“What?” I finally ask.
If he is here to tell me he hates me now because I kissed Mila, he can say it and fuck off. I know I fucked up. Sometimes I sense that because I don’t talk as much, that they think I’m stupid. I’m not. I watch, I wait, and I see shit others don’t.
He is quiet as he watches me. I look out the front and see his red Audi. Jace doesn’t seem to be with him.
“We got a name.”
I quiz my brow at him. A name?
“The fucker who drugged Mila.”
I growl. That fucker is gonna pay for what he did to her. He’ll be lucky if I leave him breathing when I’m through with him.
“Come on. Shit’s going down, and I thought you would want in.”
Hunter knows me well. I always want in. That guy will never walk again after I’m done with him.
When we pull up to the restricted area behind the old warehouse downtown, near my place, I’m surprised. But not as surprised to see Jace’s car there beside a white Beamer. Does that belong to the fucker? If so, I will fuck that up as well.
Hunter kills the engine. His dad likes to buy him flashy presents, like this Audi for Hunter’s sixteenth. I gotta give it to him, though. It’s a smooth ride.
“Just one thing,” Hunter says. “Asher Rossi and Walker Murphy are here.”
I clench my teeth and growl deep. Those fuckers let this happen to her. Why are they here? I want to kill them just as much as the fucker who drugged her. They should have taken care of her, not let her get drugged.
“They’re just as angry, okay? Asher is gonna be Mila’s stepbrother, man. We talked; he wants to kill the guy too. But we said we would all do it together, for Mila. We’ve been waiting on you, but you didn’t answer your phone.”
I nod.
“I didn’t know you were working today?”
I normally tell them when I’m working. They like to know where I am…or, more specifically, where I’m not. Like at The Shed, fighting.
I don’t answer him, and he lets out a sigh but shakes his head. “We have him in there, but we’re gonna let you throw the first punch, okay?”
Hunter knows I need that; I need to be the first and last to inflict pain. They can have their fun too. But I need it like I need air.
Hunter hasn’t mentioned what happened back at Jace’s earlier. I’m glad because I don’t have an answer.
We make our way around the back. There is scrap metal laying around, and shards of broken glass crunch under my boots. When we round the corner, I hear voices. We walk through a door that’s been busted off its hinges; it lays at an odd angle, covered in graffiti. Littered inside are beer bottles, rubbish, and a dead rat. It smells just as shit as it looks.
