I pull the door open and step through, but just before I round the corner I hear his warning loud and clear.
"I hope she's worth it."
You have no fucking idea.
I quickly change, dragging on a pair of joggers and a hoodie before swiping up my overnight bag and heading back out of my dorm.
Campus is pretty empty at this time of night. There are just a few students loitering around, but most are home, working their asses off in preparation for the weekend. I'm sure this place will look very different come tomorrow night when everyone is heading to all the different parties that will be scattered around campus.
My muscles burn as I run, reminding me that I went out first thing this morning and did double my usual distance as I tried to outrun my demons. As usual, though, I never leave them behind for long.
Mia's dorm building comes into view, and I lock my eyes on her window right as a figure emerges from the bushes to my right.
My heart jumps into my throat as the moonlight illuminates the harsh lines of his face.
"Going anywhere in particular this time of night, Easton?"
Motherfucking cunt.
"Just for a run. Gotta keep my strength up. Never know what you motherfuckers are going to throw at me next."
A smirk appears on his face, and my fists curl to wipe it off.
I'd fucking love to have a round or two with him just one-on-one. I'm sure I could fucking take him down. Actually, I'd put money on it. Without Ashton and his little gang of pussies, he's nothing.
"With a bag?" he asks suspiciously, glancing over my shoulder.
"Not that it's any of your fucking business, but I've just come from Alex's."
"But his dorm is—"
"Is this really necessary? I've got shit to be doing, Kingsley, and I'm sure you need to get home for your beauty sleep. Or your chosen whore for the night." His lips press into a thin line, and I wonder if he made use of Mia for his needs tonight.
My stomach churns at the thought of her sucking him like she did me in the auditorium yesterday.
"I guess not." He taps his forefinger to his chin as he studies me. "Just remember, Easton. I own this fucking campus. There isn't a thing that goes on here that I don't know about. I have ears and eyes everywhere."
"Great, thanks for the reminder. I'll remember to flip off every camera I pass in case you're watching."
"You know, it doesn't have to be this way."
"Oh?"
"You could just do as we say. You don't need to fight us at every turn."
I laugh at him, which only serves to piss him off further.
"You're talking bullshit and you know it, Kingsley." I take a step toward him, but he doesn't back down at all. "Whether I was a good little boy and took your shit or not wouldn't make a bit of fucking difference. I'm a threat to you. My bloodline is stronger and you know it. You might be reigning right now, Kingsley, but rest assured, all you're doing is keeping the throne warm for the real king."
His lips twist and his eyes narrow as his fists curl at his sides.
"So thanks for the warning, but I think maybe you should be the one watching your back. You can throw whatever you want at me, but I will win, and I will take my rightful place in this town. And I will rewrite all the motherfucking rules. Just. You. Watch. Me."
Even in the darkness, I see his face turn beet red with anger.
"Go on," I taunt. "Hit me. I know you’re fucking gagging for my blood."
A growl rips up his throat.
