His hand slides down my hip, toying with the hem of my skirt, and I can’t help it – a whimper escapes my mouth.
CRACK. Alec’s hand slaps my ass, and the sound tumbles across the barren desert, reminding me how fucking alone I am. He cackles like a comic strip witch, and the sound is glass shards under my skin.
“Fallen isn’t wrong – you grew a damn fine ass, Malloy.” Alec leans over the hood, his body covering mine, sealing. “I’m going to make it mine today. Would you like that? My big cock sliding in your ass? That’s what you get you for messing with my face.”
Alec’s tongue slides across the back of my neck, wet and cold like a snake. I can already feel his poison slithering around inside me, poisoning me. I brace myself, searching my mind for a dark place to retreat into, far away from Alec’s hot breath and his cock against my thigh and his gross fingers dragging my panties down down down—
He pulls back. I dare to hope he’s had a come-to-Jesus moment. Hell, I’d settle for a come-to-Cthulhu moment if it meant he never touched me like that again.
“Noah!” Alec claps his hands. “You can do the honors.”
Fuck no.
Please no.
Not Noah. Not those coal eyes and those cheekbones that could cut skin. I can’t—
But nothing happens. I’m stuck, my skirt yanked up, my panties around my ankles. I twist my neck to watch them. Noah stares at a spot on the horizon, his shoulders rigid, his expression carved in stone.
“Noah? Bro, you listening?” Alec shoves Noah toward me. “Mackenzie Malloy on a platter. I did all this for you. This bitch broke into your house, she embarrassed you at Daphne’s party. She killed your brother.”
“I know that.” Noah’s jaw is so tight I could bounce a quarter off it.
“So?” Alec gestures to me. “She took something from you. Isn’t it time you repaid the favor?”
Noah shakes his head. “This is fucked up, Alec. You said we were going to scare her, make sure she never came after our families again. But not like this. This isn’t right.”
“It’s justice,” Alec hisses. “This bitch branded my face. She deserves to be full of our cum.”
“That’s your idea of justice? Raping a girl?” Noah’s gaze swivels to his friends, and the darkness in his eyes is unfathomable. “You’re sick. All of you.”
“Yeah, Alec,” Mark pipes up from the back of the crowd. He has a hand to his cheek, blood seeping between his fingers. When he lowers it, I see the slash my knife made in his skin. “Come on, this is fucked.”
“Dude, I’ve got an athletic scholarship to Stanford. No way am I putting that on the line for this bitch,” adds Chad, dropping his hold on my wrist. Of course, the most important thing is the athletic scholarship, not the fact his friend is trying to get him to rape me. But I’d take it.
“Look at her. She’s scared enough as it is.” Noah shrugs. “You’ve had your revenge. Let’s take her back.”
Alec glares at his friends. “You fucking pussies. Fine, more for me.”
And before I can cry out, he presses his body against mine again. His teeth dig into my ear. His cologne swirls around me – it’s sickly sweet, like cotton candy. Bile rises in my throat.
“I’m going to enjoy this,” he grunts, as he reaches down between us to undo his zipper and he’s right there he’s pressing against me I hate him I hate him he’s—
—and then Alec disappears.

It happens so fast I think I’ve imagined it. The heat and the terror have sent me outside my body, or I’ve gone to the void in my head to keep myself sane, and in the void I no longer feel Alec’s snake coiling against my entrance.
But no, he’s gone. He’s no longer on top of me. But how—
I dare a glance behind me. Alec rolls in the sand ten feet from the other cars, his trousers around his ankles. He clutches his face. Blood covers his hands. Noah strides toward me. His arms go around my waist. He picks me up like I’m nothing and throws me over his shoulder.
“We’re leaving,” he barks at Alec. “Don’t follow us.”
Even though the jocks outnumber him, no one moves to stop Noah. Alec lets out a growl like a wild fucking beast, but all he can do kick a cloud of sand at us.
Noah nods once, then starts off across the desert.
