The pain threatened to consume me. I was drowning in it.
Hand trembling, I grabbed the razor and held it up to my wrists. The guys watched me impassively.
And then I began to cut.

Tamson
Her hand was tentative as it touched my arm, fingers tracing the corded muscles of my bicep.
I groaned in my sleep, rolling over to face her more fully.
The hand was soon replaced by her lips, and the erotic touch nearly made me come undone.
My brain was fuzzy, still fighting the remains of sleep, but my body was alert. Wanting.
Wanting her.
I turned into her expectant lips, heart hammering.
How many times had I imagined kissing her? Touching her? I had thought it was nothing more than fantasy.
“Addie,” I groaned against her mouth.
“Addie?” a strident voice demanded, abruptly pulling away from me. The belligerent sound of it cleansed the last tendrils of sleep that clung to me.
That voice...
It wasn’t Adelaide’s.
Popping my eyelids open, I turned to stare at the figure leaning over me on the bed. It was dark, surprisingly so considering the fact I had left the bedside lamp on, but the moonlight and flashes of lightning allowed me to see her asymmetrical face and blond hair.
Lacey.
Scrambling backwards with revulsion, I pinned her with an annoyed glare.
“What are you doing in my room?” I asked darkly.
It was then that I noticed what she was wearing. Actually, what she wasn’t wearing would be a better description.
Absolutely nothing.
Her breasts bounced as she crawled towards me, and before, I might’ve thought she was attractive.
Now? I just felt disgust.
I would be the first to admit that I used to have a relationship with Lacey, as did the rest of my brothers. She was pretty and never seemed to want a commitment from us.
The perfect girl.
Any other day, I would’ve eagerly claimed her body. I may have been what some considered “shy”, but in the bedroom I became a completely different person.
“Come on, Tammy,” Lacey purred, and I blanched at the nickname. I supposed she thought it was seductive to use Adelaide’s nickname for me, but it only proceeded to make me furious.
“Don’t call me that,” I snapped. Her hand moved down my thigh, still covered by the blanket, and I hit it away. “And don’t touch me.”
“What the hell, Tam?” Lacey asked, voice brimming with disbelief. And then she began to laugh. It was a laugh that made me involuntarily flinch. “It’s because of that girl, isn’t it?” When I didn’t answer, she took my silence as confirmation. “Holy shit! You have feelings for her, don’t you?”
