RyleefriggingSelwood.

That girl's going to be the death of me.

I've never met someone who makes me so mad, but also so fucking alive.

I wanted her from the first moment I saw her. And over the years, she's done nothing but drive me wild.

It's no surprise that I've fallen in love with her. She's the only person who's ever challenged me. The only one to make me feel like I'm good enough, and who likes me for me, and not just my credentials.

I thought I could manage without her, but when she took off, I quickly came to realize that I needed her. I would rather have her in my life than not at all. And despite the fact I don't want to share, I've seen her come home from so many nights out with people, that perhaps I could learn to have her onherterms.

Even if that meant sharing with my brothers.

It should come easy. Parents teach their children to share with their siblings. In reality though, I'm only human and I want her for myself.

But if the only way I can get close to her right now is to play the game, then that's what I have to do.

I could see it coming from a mile away when Zayn started the little game yesterday. He wanted to push us… all of us.

And I wanted to see how far I could push myself. To prove that I could do it. So when he asked the golden question, the answer came easy.

"Dare."

I spend the night in my mancave, staring at the coffee table. I could still picture Rylee laid out on it, her perfect body taking me while Zayn watched. And when she beckoned him to join, I realized I didn't care anymore.

Not if it meant having her and keeping her happy.

I wanted to see her after, but I knew she needed space. A few times, I walked to her bedroom to chat, but was too afraid to knock. On the last time, I heard Blake's voice, the two of them in there laughing about something.

Brushing it aside, I left them alone. But today I was going to talk to her. It was time to put this shit behind us.

I was free from Jenny now – a gift from Rylee. Blake told me in private what she had said and I felt so fucking proud of my girl.

I know she's not ready to forgive me, but I'll do whatever it fucking takes to make it right. She just needs to tell me.

When I go searching for her, I'm frustrated and disappointed to find she's not here. I look out my bedroom window, noticing her car is missing too.

I send her a text, wondering if she'll even respond. When my phone buzzes a few minutes later with a reply, I let out a relieved smile.

Not wanting to pressure her and spank her ass for going out without telling us, I send back a short response saying I want to talk when she gets back and that I'll do whatever it takes to make things right between us.

I'm getting ready to go for a run when I hear my phone ringing. I look down at the caller ID, smiling as I see her name.

Maybe this means she wants to talk about it too.

"Hello?" I answer casually, trying to keep it simple.

"Asher!"

My body instantly freezes at the tone of her voice.

Something's wrong.

"What's going on? What's all that noise?" I ask, staring at the phone as I wait impatiently for her to answer.

Rylee yells out something about being attacked, and I'm already springing to my feet, running through the house to find my brothers. I find Blake in the kitchen, my heart pounding as I look at him with desperate, angry eyes.

"The Norsemen are chasing, Rylee," I growl out, watching his eyes darken as he grabs the phone.
