“The only chance you’re getting is from the cops when you tell them your side of the story.” I shoved her away, and she stumbled. I ran—well, dragged myself—to the door and fell out into the winter night.
The slap of the cold air was welcome and jolted me with a bit of clarity I desperately needed. Head swirling, I stood and headed toward the Jeep. I knew I couldn’t drive, but I could lock myself inside until whatever the fuck this stuff was wore off.
“Wes!” Veronica called behind me. “Come back here.”
I kept going, my feet scuffling over the pavement like I didn’t know how to walk.What the fuck did she give me? I only had a few sips.
“Get him!” Veronica yelled, and then I was tackled from the side to the ground. I landed with a grunt on the freezing, rough pavement, my eyes rolling around as flashes of bright yellow caught in my vision. So close to my Jeep.So far away.
“What kind of man runs from pussy when it’s being offered?”
My eyes snapped forward to the new voice belonging to the man bending over my face. “Rinkin,” I slurred. As I stared, he split into two. “What the fuck?”
He disappeared, and Veronica took his place, straddling my chest and brushing the hair from my forehead. My skin crawled and my entire body screamed to put up a fight, but my limbs weren’t listening.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” she murmured, rubbing her finger over my lower lip.
I laughed. “You could OD me with Viagra and I still wouldn’t be able to get it up for you.”
She recoiled. “You won’t even give me a chance?”
“Not if you were the last person on this planet and the survival of the human race depended on us.”
“Harsh, Sinclair,” Rinkin mused from somewhere overhead. “Harsh.”
“Shut up!” Veronica snapped over her shoulder. “You don’t mean that,” she said to me in a much sweeter voice.
Frankly, I thought her nice voice was scarier than her mean one.
Rolling my head, I looked for Rinkin, blurry vision catching on his hovering form nearby.
“What are you doing here?” I fought against the haze dragging down my thoughts and tried to focus. “Did you help her drug me?”
Veronica disappeared, and Rinkin bent, shoving his face into mine. The look in his eyes was reminiscent of the boys who attacked me three years ago.
Not again. Jesus. Not again.
“You really thought I would just call a truce and let everyone on Elite side with you? Elite ismyteam. You should have just kept your fag mouth shut, Sinclair.”
“Hey!” Veronica protested at the ugly slur.
“Shut it!” he yelled over his shoulder before turning glittering eyes on me once more. “I want you gone. And if teaming up with this little psycho is how to do it, then hell yes, I’m going to help her.”
Straightening away from me, he gestured toward Veronica. “Come on. Let’s do this.”
Veronica straddled my hips again, lowering herself onto my body. Her fingers dragged up my chest, making my stomach roll.
Out on the street, a car drove by, making her freeze and look up. Turning to Rinkin, she said, “We should go back inside where it’s more private.”
Go back inside for what?Whatever it was, I was going to go withhell no.
In a burst of energy, I pushed up, shoving her off me and into the pavement. She cried out and pushed to her feet. In a frenzy of movement, she plowed into my chest, knocking me back into the side of my Wrangler.
Her fingers were cold and unforgiving when she grabbed my chin, forcing my head down. “That’s the way it’s going to be, then?”
“Yep,” I said, fighting back another tilt of the universe. I would never give in to her. To Rinkin. To either of them.
“Think hard, Wes. Once you are removed from Elite and Max is gone, you won’t have anyone. Do you really want to push me away? I’m the one who truly wants you.”
