“No one should have lips that red. It’s illegal,” I mumble to myself.
“I heard that,” Sam’s voice comes out of the speaker in his car. I borrowed it to go pick up Rose White from her house.
Friday came fast, and I’m already on my little mission to take Rose to the Volkovs’ club in Silver Falls. I watch her walk out of the enormous gate that leads to the mansion she’s staying in. The Murrays’ estate is a nice place deep in Stoneview.
Upper class, rich kids, and a lot of girls who look down on my friends and me. That’s about all I remember from Stoneview. I hadn’t been in so long, I was shocked at how richer the rich got. The only good thing that ever came out of Stoneview was Jake White. A God giving us the chance to look at him from afar as he walked among us, humans. He moved to our school on the North Shore during our senior year, and there wasn’t a minute I could take my eyes off him. His eyes, his dimples, his lips… the exact same as his twin sister.
“I’m going to assume you have eyes on her,” Sam speaks again, taking me out of my thoughts.
“I do,” I sigh lovingly, just to annoy him.
“Will you take your dick out of your hand and get on with it,” he growls. My beautiful, untamable man getting jealous because he understands how I find his enemy attractive.
“She’s a girl,habibi,” I chuckle. “You know I’ve never been interested in those.” Till now, I don’t say. “But please, keep up the angry behavior. It turns me on.”
“When’s your next essay due?” he asks me, changing the topic.
“Why? Do you want to write it?” I hate college and would have never stepped foot in there had Sam not insisted on me getting a higher education. He didn’t and is projecting on me.
“Because I can see the shit on your desk, and it doesn’t look like someone trying to write an essay.”
“What are you doing inmyoffice?” I fake a gasp. “There’s private stuff in there, sir.”
“My house. My office. My boyfriend,” he grumbles.
“Mm, stop. I love it when you call me your boyfriend. The cuteness emanating out of you right now.”
“Lik, I will choke you with my dick. You let me know how cute you find that.” My own dick stirs to life, and I have to adjust myself in my suit. “You’re starting on your essay when you get home tonight,” he orders low.
“Or what?” I say as I bite my lip.
“Or you’re going to get nothing next time you beg for my dick in that tight arse of yours.”
“You’re not even fun,” I pout. Rose spots me on the other side of the road and walks toward the car. She’s wearing black mom jeans, and she’s covered a tight black turtleneck with an extra-large denim jacket that could probably fit Sam. Her long, ink-black hair is being blown away from her face by the wind. “The princess is coming. Bye,habibi,” I say in a rush.
“Don’t call her princess—” I hang up.
I unlock the car, and Rose hops in.
“Hi, princess,” I greet her with a massive smile on my face.
I watch her jaw clench. Her hands are in the pockets of her jacket, but I can imagine the way she squeezes them into fists like she did at the cabin last week. She hates this situation, and I’m going to milk it. I’ve spent the last two years watching Sam’s eyes light up whenever she was mentioned. It was either with hate or passion. Either way, it was always something substantial.
Her name is always on people’s lips. A forbidden whisper for the forbidden girl. No one could touch her on the North Shore, and it didn’t matter if they were fucking her or fucking her up. Her big brother Nate would warn everyone against it. They were some brave people, and as far as I know, Rose has quite a fuckboy reputation, so I doubt Nate killed everyone who touched her. But I know Sam killed a few men who went too far. To say it makes me jealous is an understatement.
I had never seen her until last week. It’s strange because we have been in the same circles. We went to the same lacrosse tournaments in high school, and I simply never gave the Stoneview girls any attention. Xi met her at multiple parties, Billie hates her, and Emma fuckingsleptwith her. Sam only spared her because she’s my stepsister. Rose White has been suffocating me for years, and she had no idea I even existed.
Now she only sees me as Sam’s boyfriend, but what she doesn’t get is that she never leaves his mind. Meaning she never leaves mine. She’s been back for barely two months, and he’s already killed the only man who touched her—Mattock, gone for touching the woman Sam wants to keep for himself.
Sam killing a man for Rose…it annoys me, but it doesn’t surprise me. No, what surprised me was how he looked at Rachel, the jealousy in his eyes.
“The fuck you smiling for,” she mumbles as she puts her seatbelt on. Lost in my thoughts, I forgot to take my stupid smile off my face. The one I decided to use just to piss her off.
“Just happy to see my new work colleague.” I start the car and pull out.
“If that’s what you want to call it,” she huffs, looking out the window.
