Colt and Blayne still bickering drags my attention away from the jealousy that’s swarming in my gut. I hate the feeling I get when the other girls check out Trace.
“I bet I can get more pussy than you at this party.”
“You’re on.”
Trace looks up and his eyes go straight to Colt’s arm around my shoulder. I look down at his shorts and back to his face, raising a brow. We silently argue with each other until Blayne pushes Colt, bringing me back to their arguing. Blayne laughs as he fumbles and runs over to join the class.
“So you two aren’t sleeping together?” I ask Colt after he recovers.
His lips twist in disgust. “God no, that would be like boinking my sister.”
“Do you have a sister?”
“No, but if I did, it would be like that.”
“And the other guys?”
“She lost her virginity to Van, but she claims he's the reason she turned to the other side.”
“Oh!” I say in surprise. “So, she’s a lesbian.”
“She doesn’t conform to labels. If she wants to fuck she will. It just happens that most are of the female variety. It’s probably safer that way for all parties involved. We might not have romantic feelings for her but we would kill for her. Jarrah is especially good with a butterfly knife.”
“Are you two going to join the class?” Trace snaps impatiently.
“Sorry, Teach. I was just trying to convince Jolie that the BJ she gave me last night was so good that we should skip class and do it again.” He exclaims with a triumphant gleam in his eye as jealousy flashes across Trace’s face.
I sucker punch Colt in the gut and he makes an oomph sound before he cackles like a hyena. I walk over to where the entire class is waiting and motion for Trace to begin. His features darken at my blatant display of disrespect, but he recovers quickly.
“Today we’re going to start learning basic self-defence moves. A few parents have raised their concerns that they would like their children to be prepared in case something bad happens. I’m going to start by breaking you off into groups. I know those who have basic training, so you'll be split accordingly.”
People groan and complain about not being able to be with their friends. “For those not so confident, I have a step by step video on the screen up there,” he says pointing to the wall, “it will walk you through everything.”
He starts to read out names and everyone pairs off. Colt gets paired with a short blonde and he smiles at me and winks. She has no chance against him.
Of course I’m last and have no partner. It’s obvious he did this on purpose. Trace just gives me his best puppy dog eyes and all I can do is shake my head at him.
“What's going on with you and Colt?” he asks.
“That’s none of your business.” I counter, crossing my arms over my chest. I’m waiting for him to snap. The one thing I do know is how to push his buttons. I always thought he was my person, but I’ve come to find out that wasn’t the case, so that stings more than anything.
He starts to stretch and I copy what he does. “Anything to do with you is my business. You’re ours, even if you don’t want to believe it. Every single molecule in your body was created for us to protect. We all get that you’re mad and rightfully so. But trust me Jolie, you know me and I need you to dig deep and trust that we know what we're doing.”
“You say that like I’m supposed to forget what you all did.”
He lowers his voice. “We don’t. Use it like we are because the information Case extracted that night has been helpful. We know that you were in his will to get majority ownership of Olympia if Mr. Z died, and in the event of your death someone from another organisation named Harold Knox would have received the company on behalf of a secret organisation but after you ‘died’ it was changed again. We've done our research and Harold has been missing for a few years, presumed dead. They are currently being run by someone named Amelie Rossi. We need you to get close to Mr. Z and hope he changes his will back, which he won’t do unless he believes that you’re on his side.”
“I’ve already told Creed and Kai that I’m willing to help, but I can’t forget what you all did that day.”
“We're okay with that, for now. Brennan is going to meet with Mr Z's brother tonight.”
“Is that smart considering that Mr. Z would be watching everyone’s every move?”
Trace starts to show me the moves and he continues to talk as he does. “There are underground tunnels running all over town. Only a select few people, namely us and Team Hades knew about them. Ziyon has one that goes specifically to his property and the entrance is somewhere inconspicuous. We believe Ziyon had them built without anyone knowing about them.”
“So Brennan is safe?”
“He is. Now try and take me down.”
