"Tyeler," Knox says. "Control your man before I do."
I scrunch my nose. "He's not my man. More like a stray dog I feed occasionally."
Knox grins widely and turns back to Carter. "I like her."
"You don't even know her," he argues.
Knox flops down on the couch and pulls Delaney onto his lap. "I know she hates you. That's enough for me."
Seeing Delaney up close and personal, I can see why Carter was so into her. She's drop-dead gorgeous. She has these bright green eyes that remind you of springtime and butterflies, and her hair is a golden-brown color that I've tried to get before but it just never worked right. She looks like she came straight off a runway. It's honestly shocking to me that she didn't end up with Carter, because the two of them look like the picture-perfect golden couple, but I guess it's one of those opposites attract situations.
Still, even knowing that she's happily with someone else, there's a bit of jealousy that bubbles under the surface. I slip across the room and throw myself into Carter's lap, just hard enough to cause a little discomfort.
"So, you're the infamous Delaney," I say.
Carter groans under his breath while Jace cracks a wide, delighted smile. Delaney's brows furrow as she looks back at me.
"You've heard of me?"
I nod. "Oh, yeah. I heard all about the first girl to break Carter's fragile little heart."
Knox snorts while Carter throws his head back against the couch. "Must you?"
"She must," Knox answers. "She absolutely must."
Delaney elbows him in the stomach, but I keep going. "So, what was it that made you want Knox over Carter?" I reach back and pinch his cheeks. "Was this adorable face not good enough for you? What was the moment he no longer had a chance?"
She chuckles while leaning against Knox's chest. "When he tricked Knox into being alone just to jump him."
This is where she and I differ, because I find that to be hot as hell. Maybe that speaks to how fucked in the head I am, but it's probably why everything is so explosive between us.
I purse my lips and look back at Carter. "Possessive little shit, aren't you?"
He shrugs. "I made up for it eventually."
"Good enough." I look back at Delaney. "So, if he hadn't gone and jumped your boyfriend..."
She shakes her head and sits up. "I know what you're trying to do, and it's not going to work. You're bold, I'll give you that, but I shared a womb with someone just like you. You don't scare me."
I raise my brows and give her a slight nod. I never imagined she would have such a backbone. She looks so innocent.
Knox smiles proudly at her and then looks over at me. "You might look more intimidating with some tattoos. I love me a blank canvas."
Carter tenses beneath me, and it only spurs me on more. "What do you have in mind?"
"Full body piece."
I smirk. "Let's do it."
"Don't you dare," Carter growls.
My bottom lip juts out in a pout. "Aw, why not?"
His eyes darken as he looks at me. "Because the only fucking one marking that body of yours is me."
"I called that shit!" Zayn screams.
Jace and Zayn both put their hands out to collect money from the bets people made, and Knox looks pleased with himself to be able to pull that information out of Carter. I throw my head back against Carter's shoulder.
