“Neither can I, Archer. So move out of the way.”
He lifts the knife. “Make me move, Jaci.”
“Archer, have a beer, my man,” Seth calls out. “No need to pull a knife on our girl.”
Our girl.
I almost yelled that I wasn’t their property.
But I am, aren’t I?
I am their property.
Archer turns and Seth tosses a beer through the air.
Archer slashes his knife with precision and slams it into the can of beer.
He moves so smooth, lowering the knife, shaking the can of beer free, leaving it spill all over the grass.
“I’m not drinking that cheap, street-trash stuff,” Archer says.
“Oh, that’s right, you’ve got an expensive tongue,” Seth says. “Like your entire fucking family.”
Archer instantly breaks out into a run toward Seth.
Cullen gets into the middle of it.
Archer grabs Cullen’s shirt.
Cullen grabs Archer’s shirt.
And what does Seth do?
He just sits back down in his rusted, gross lawn chair.
He pops open another beer and starts to drink it.
Cullen and Archer are doing their push and shove game.
Just as I’m about to step in, Cullen says something to Archer.
Archer freezes and looks at Seth.
“Cheers,” Seth says.
Archer steps back from Cullen.
This whole situation is too weird for me.
I storm forward and stand with the three of them surrounding me.
“What the fuck is going on here?” I ask. “I’m not going to stand here and watch you three share secrets. I’m your girl? That’s what you want to call me?Your girl?Then tell me something. I’m a fuckingHeir!” I point at Seth. “You are nothing compared to me.” I look at Archer. “I’m ranked higher than you are.”
I start to look at Cullen but Archer grabs my arm and pulls me toward him.
“Don’t get things wrong here, sweet thing,” he growls. “I will fucking gut you in front of everyone. I’ll send a clear message to your family.”
Seth throws himself against Archer’s right side and pushes him away from me.
