I looked over at Fox. “And you?”
“Long story,” he muttered before looking back at Saxton. “Why didn’t I know that you’re her best friend?”
“You’ll have to ask her,” Saxton replied simply.
“Besides, we don’t have any love triangles,” Stone bit out. “August and Rylee never dated.”
“Okay, okay,” I sighed. “At any rate, while he was ranting and raving about secret meetings and the girls not including Laney in their outings, he…” The issue here was that Stone was a confrontational motherfucker. While I didn’t have an issue getting physical, I wasn’t Stone Lexington.
“He, what?” Fox prompted.
I looked over at Stone. “Man, I don’t think…I don’t think a marriage certificate is doing the job,” I finally told him.
“What the fuck does that mean?” he asked quietly.
Too quietly.
“He just kept ranting about how he saw her first,” I continued. “The more I advised him to move the fuck on, the more he…the more emotion he showed.” I ran a hand through my hair. “I’m not sure if that makes sense.”
“How did Sutton come into the picture?” Saxton asked.
“When I kept telling him to leave Rylee alone before Stone killed him, that’s when he agreed he should go after someone single. Sutton, perhaps.”
“How does he know about you and Sutton?” Stone asked, and I knew it was killing him to stay focused.
“I have no idea,” I answered. “We were only together for a couple of weeks, but…I mean, it wasn’t like we hid it or anything. He could have seen us together.” Then I thought about last week. “She let me kiss her last week while we’d been arguing in the student parking. He could have seen us then.”
“And still no goddamn proof of anything,” Fox grumbled in frustration.
“So, what the fuck are we supposed to do?” Stone asked. “And I need some serious ideas before I kill the motherfucker.”
“Look, we have the video of Laney and Rylee arguing. We have Alexander witnessing August losing it at the initiation. We have Alexander also witnessing August being an asshole at the last meeting. Plus, now we have August harassing Ross.” Fox leaned back against the couch. “I say we meet with Alexander with everything we have.”
“It’s possible that Alexander knows something,” Stone said. “When he questioned me about calling things off with Rylee, he told me to marry her as soon as possible. Said it would be best for everyone.”
“Okay, so we meet up with Alexander, then see what he has to say,” I replied.
“In the meantime, what do we do about the girls?” Fox asked. “While Alexis isn’t my girlfriend, she is still someone who can impact my life.”
“I’m not worried about Kincaid because…well, she’s Kincaid Black. The girl knows how to take care of herself,” Saxton chuckled. “However, I agree that August can’t be trusted, and Alexis and Jennifer aren’t Kincaid.”
“Well, I’m not letting Rylee out of my sight,” Stone said. “For the times when I can’t be with her, I’ll get her a guard.”
“Christ, I can’t believe we’re actually at that point,” Fox muttered, running his hands through his hair. “Let’s just kill the bastard and be done with it.”
“That’ll be Plan-B,” I remarked dryly. “But let’s try Alexander first.”
“What about Sutton?” Stone asked.
“We have a date on Friday,” I told him. “I’ll settle things then. However, I really think Rylee’s his objective.”
“Are you sure Sutton’s going to take you back after what you did?” Saxton asked. “I mean…”
I flipped him off. “We’re at the she-doesn’t-have-a-choice stage in our courtship, so yeah.”
Saxton laughed. “This ought to be fun.”
“Yeah, oodles,” I deadpanned.
