Lev joins me and aids in getting our new buddy inside the building. He’s been prepping for Cade’s arrival since I made the call.
Being the dick that he is, Lev shoves Cade, who’s trying to drag his feet. When we catch up to him, Lev shoves him again.
“He really is a little bitch,” Lev says. “I’ve been waiting a long time to rock this fucker’s world.” Another shove. “Still think you’re fucking stupid for defending that girl’s honor, though. She doesn't deserve it.”
I give Lev a look of warning. “She’s more than worth it.” My voice rises so Cade can hear me. “Ain’t that right? You touched that pussy, you know it’s gold. Don’t ya?”
Head held low, he just keeps walking.
Once we’re inside, Lev leads the way to the basement. He rented the entire building, only to occupy a small space in it. It was the only one available within walking distance to campus and he needed somewhere to meet with his therapist. Things get intense during his meetings, so he wanted to ensure he’d have privacy. I’d say this building is perfect. For his appointments, and for what we need to do now.
Lev has a chair all set up for Cade. Rope, duct tape, and tools laid out neatly, as if we’re preparing to perform a heinous type of surgery on this fucker. There are pliers, a hammer, hand-held clamps.
Excitement swims inside my deranged mind.
I shove Cade down on the chair, as he begs for his life. “Please. You’ve got the wrong person. I didn’t do this. I swear to you.”
“Shut the fuck up.” I slap him hard across the face while Lev ties him to the chair. “You just thank your lucky stars I haven’t killed your ass yet. Told you I would if you touched her again. Killing you is too generous, though. First, I’m gonna torture the fuck out of you while you describe in detail every inch of her body you touched.”
Speaking of…
I pull out my notepad that has all the names on my list checked off, then I add another…
Dennis Mathers
Robby Nelson
Andy Porter
Eric Mathers
Cade Pemberley
Cade fucked with the wrong girl, and pissed off the wrong guy. Once he’s out of the picture, Riley will be safe again.
EPILOGUE
RILEY
My heart is literallyin my throat as I pace in front of Ridge’s dorm room. I’ve knocked a dozen times with no answer, so I can only assume no one is here.
At first, I was hesitant to return after my encounter with Lev the last time. Then, I put on my big-girl panties and…
“Oh. Hi,” I say to a very grouchy-looking Lev, who’s approaching his door.
Of course, he’s alone. I would put a nail in my foot before I’d enter that room with him. At least out here, people can come out of their rooms if I scream loud enough.
Then again, they could hear me from inside the room, too, but they wouldn’t be able to save me. Lev could drown me in a bathtub by the time they got in.
Why am I thinking like this? He’s just a guy. Only a couple years older than me. Sure, he’s intimidating and a straight-up asshole, but he’s not a killer.
“Go the fuck home, Trouble.” He sticks his key in the door and turns it.
“Actually. I came for Ridge. Or Maddox. Whichever I see first.”
He turns around, leaving the key stuck in the door. “Is that how it works with you? You fuck with whatever one is around when you need them?”
“No. I didn't say that.”
