Khalani finally speaks up, having my back. “She can date. She will make sure they don’t do anything stupid. You guys will have to just trust her judgment.”
Aiden tilts his head and glances at Khalani. “Be careful,preciosa. I love you. See you at home.”
“Love you always,mi rey.”
She calls my brother her king and, he is a king. My brother is already a force to be reckoned with by the power he will acquire.
Aiden faces me. “Lucy, behave. If not, you are going to end up like me.” He gives me a playful wink.My mouth slopes into a wicked, satisfied smile.
“That would be something,” I say, placing a finger on my chin. Colton chuckles and Mason glares at him, but I can’t resist saying, “It’s okay. You guys can buy me a box of condoms later.”
Chapter Three
Mason
She can date. Are they crazy? In college, where guys fuck for fun and girls experiment? Over my dead body. No one touches Lucy. She is mine. I know I hurt her that day she walked in on me and Colton fucking Gloria. I felt like a piece of shit. The look on her face still haunts me. She never looked at me the same after that day.I didn’t fuck Gloria but I was drunk and high and I wanted to forget the look on her face when I told her why we couldn’t be together. She was trying to suck me off. I thought I could do it because Colton was egging me on, calling me a pussy but when she wrapped her lips around my cock, it went limp. The lips I wanted wrapped around my cock were pink and plump, belonging to a blue-eyed temptress with black straight hair. I never touched Gloria after that or fucked her friends after Lucy. Gloria was pissed off and spread rumors that I fucked around because she was angry I didn’t want to be with her.
I’m not saying I didn’t have meaningless sex elsewhere. I’m a man with needs. My hand can only do so much. The girl had to have dark straight hair and when my eyes closed, I would imagine it was Lucy I was fucking. It was the only way I could get off and never with the same girl twice.
I drunk texted her I was sorry that day and waited a bit for things to cool down before trying to speak to her alone. I tried the handle to her room one night, but it was locked.It is always locked. After that day, she never wanted to be alone with me and avoided me like I was a disease. I can’t even blame her.
When senior year started, I would watch her expression and hope when she looked at me, she would understand and want to at least be friends.
It’s difficult hurting the girl you care about most in the world. I don’t know what I was thinking, getting drunk and high at her house with Gloria and Jessica around. I fucked up. Even if I didn’t have sex with Gloria that day, that is not what it looked like. To make matters worse, I didn’t go after her and explain. What would I say? That I was trying to forget you and it didn’t work but I still can’t be with you.
I was created by the devil and roam the earth with demons collecting souls. I’m a monster. Monsters don’t give girls like Lucy forever.
But I quickly realized no girl compared to the girl of my dreams. The one I cared for and protected like no other.
My father would never approve of Lucy being with me because of who her father and brother are. He wants me to be in the social media limelight and maybe run for politics. All the things I don’t want. I’m the quiet King. The one that tellsa lie to hide the truthwhen asked if I have anything going on with Lucy Sincere. Colton and Leo kept asking if we had something going on when they caught me ogling her when she would spend time with Khalani duringschool our senior year.
I lied and told them I was curious about her hanging out with Khalani because, at the time, Aiden hated Khalani. Another lie.The whole debacle with Aiden and Khalani took the attention off me, and I dodged a bullet.I had no choice but to continue like nothing was amiss. I avoided screwing the girls on the dance team and fuck girls from East Hillside occasionally to take the edge off so the guys wouldn’t think it was because I wanted Lucy.
The only problem was Gloria. She kept telling Lucy I would have sex with her and the girls on the cheer squad and dance team because she sensed Lucy had a crush on me. If she only knew the truth. Her rumors about me only pushed Lucy and me further apart.
That night I made love with Lucy—because what happened between us I could never label as sex—I cleaned the blood off her pretty pussy, hoping I was gentle and didn’t hurt her.When she fell asleep in my arms, her naked body wrapped around mine, I stayed awake and watched her sleep, dreading leaving her.
I hated the moment I walked out of her bedroom door. It was a risk coming to her room that night after we had to take out the guys that were sent to kill Khalani’s brother, Ramon.
I thought of coming clean and telling Aiden, hoping he would understand my feelings for Lucy, until my father reminded me what he expects of me. He also didn’t fail to mention that I needed to make sure I dated a girl who comes from a respectable family with no skeletons to hide.A girlhigh in social class who looks the part.
Lucy ticks all the boxes, exceptthe hidingskeleton part. Her immediate family has giant skeletons with ties to hell. Let’s not forget her father isEl Diabloand her brotherEl Demonio. All key cartel leaders. When my fathermentioned Gloria, I almost threw up because Gloria isa social climber. She will spread her legs for any of the Kings. Minus Aiden now that he is married and would never cheat on Khalani.My best friend is madly in love with hischola. Khalani is fierce, and we all have grown to like her and consider her very much part of the family. And we all respect her.
It hurt the Kings when her brother was killed by Khalani’s father’s wife and son. It was a crazy twist to find out who her father was and thathis wife had a hit out on Khalani.El Diablowanted to leave her father alive, because if he were dead, it would be bad for business since his brother runs businesses in a large part of Mexico. Let’s see how long that lasts.El Diabloalways has a card up his sleeve, but so does Aiden. Khalani’s father and uncle are into sex trafficking, as Leo uncovered. Something we are desperate to stop. Now that we are older, we are planning to change the way things are done.
Colton and I carved Khalani’s father’s wife up real nice and it’s something I don’t feel any remorse about doing. I have a dark side, we all do. It is embedded in our DNA. Our fathers are ruthless and tied to their cartel ways. Except for my father, who is too busy hiding his roots. He still teaches me the Mexican way in secret. The language, food, and tradition.
My mother was born and raised theAmerican way, and like all the fourKings’fathers, we speak Spanish.We run both West Hillside and East Hillside. We also have a chapter in LA,and we are four cartel families that have joined together by our fathers to solidify our businesses between Mexico and the US. Our new strategy is to be educated and strategic in everything we do, the four sons destined to run each family are also trained assassins since the age of fourteen.
It is our freshman year in college and the first semester just started. We must build our life outside of Mexico and follow the plan. The pressure of football is on our shoulders. We are expected to win it all this year, coming straight from high school as champions. Hillside University now has the dream football team with the four Kings, as we have been dubbed since freshman year of high school.
All of us could go pro if we wanted, but that isn’t in the cards for the Kings. We all have hidden agendas and a family legacy to uphold. This is all a cover-up, butI now have an immense problem. Lucy is free to date, and she hates me. It won’t be long before another guy will make a move and take what I crave the most. Her.
When that asshole Kyle was trying to make a move on her, I saw red. My heart was beating wildly when I saw her smile at that dork. He acted like a pussy when I threatened him. He didn’t even try to stand up to me when trying to ask her out. But neither did I when she wanted me.
When Aiden confirmed what I knew eventually would happen, that she was free to date, and it was okaywith him and her father, my stomach dropped at the thought of her with someone else. I know it's selfish of me to feel this way but I can’t help myself.
In that moment, I picturedLucysmiling into the eyes of another man, and that man wasn’t me. The only thing she gives me now is hate, and I deserve it. The only thing I could say to her through a text message was a misspelled sorry. It was pretty fucked up how I went about things with her.
