“She sounds dreamy to me. I’d love to meet her.”
I sighed. “Maybe one day you can. I don’t know, really. It’s complicated. And my brothers…yes, they’re obsessed. I’m pretty sure Isaac’s already fucked her.”
My jaw tightened at the thought, remembering how sated the fucker looked when he came back to the dorm several days ago after I’d snapped on him and Rhett and told them to leave. Then between classes and in English when I saw Samara, she could barely fucking walk in a straight line.
“Why not share her?”
“What?”
A heavy, bubbly laugh gushed out of Cindy.
“Oh, come on, Phantom, you know what I’m talking about. Sure, you three are brothers, but you’re not blood related. Instead of making it a competition, just simply share her together. It’s not as uncommon as you may think it is.”
“Who the fuck are you and what have you done with Cindy?”
This time she let out a full belly laugh.
“I’m your friend, Phantom, and I’m not gonna lie to you. This is the first time in for-fucking-ever that you’ve cared for someone. Explore it. I know you’re scared, but let’s be real here, youneedthis. At least think about it.”
“I don’t know. We’ll see.”
“As far as this shit going on with this Reyez fucker, what you’re doing isn’t gonna be enough.”
“What do you mean?”
“This fucker has a whole goddamn army plotting against you and you’ve got what, your crew on the streets, plus the guards, and the twenty recruits? You’re sitting ducks, hun. Xavier's territory is only so big compared to the others. What youshouldbe doing is trying to get members of the opposing team on your side.”
I opened my mouth, unable to get a word out thanks to my phone ringing. Cindy stopped working long enough for me to fetch it out my back pocket.
I blinked down in shock as Jace Reyez’s name flashed on the display.
It’s about fucking time.
“Phantom,” Jace spoke in a drunken slur when I answered. “Are you alone?”
“Yeah.” I motioned at Cindy to be quiet. Quickly she shut off her tattoo gun and began cleaning my back again as I switched the call to speakerphone.
“What’s going on? Any news to deliver?”
“My father…he…he made me…” A sob burst out of him. He breathed out, making static crackle through the phone.
“I’ll never forgive myself!”
“Woah, Jace, calm the fuck down and tell me what happened.”
Cindy and I listened as Jace explained. How his father made him rape one of the dancers just before he blew her brains out, forcing Jace to clean up the mess afterward.
“It-It was the only way he’d trust me. I didn’t have a choice. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep without dreaming about it. I…I…”
“Give me the fucking phone, Jace,” a female voice hollered from afar. “It’s okay. I’ll take it from here. Just go sit down and sober up.”
A moment later Jace was gone, and the female voice greeted me.
“Who the fuck is this?” I asked.
“Ginger. My name is Ginger.”
Ginger…right. This is the woman Jace wanted us to save.
