He lifts his hand high above his head and exhales the smoke of his cigarette in my face, causing me to cough. “Why don’t you try and grab it?”
“What the fuck. Seriously, how old are you?”
He shrugs. “Old enough to love playing games with hot babes.”
I run my tongue against my teeth, trying to rein in the anger starting to boil in my veins. “Just remember you asked for this,” I mutter as I pull down my hood. Before he can move, I knee him in the balls.
Hunching over, he drops my phone and I pick it up. “You fucking broke the screen,” I rage.
Now that his face is low enough, I’m dying to knee him in the nose, but I know this will get me nowhere. Instead, I turn around and take a step to leave.
Before I can take a second one, someone grabs me by the ponytail and pulls me back. I grunt as he drags and throws me into his friend’s arms. Said friend turns me around, forcing me to face the guy I just hit, and his arms wrap around me, constricting my arms to my body.
Not waiting for them to act further, I stomp hard on his foot. As soon as he releases me, I elbow him in the nose. “Fuckers think you can manhandle me?” I spit at them. “Stay the fuck away.”
Of course, they don’t. The one who initially had my phone charges me and then picks me up. When he sets me back down, it’s only to shove me at another guy. I lose my footing and fall into his friend’s arms. The first one uses the opportunity to slap me so hard in the face I see stars.
“Shit,” I grit.
“Fucking NSC bitches thinking they’re strong. Notice how all of them are just way too confident?” he says.
The last one of the trio grabs me by the hair before pushing me onto the first one and then back to his friend. I lose my bearings and keep tripping over as they toss me around in a circle.
“This is my new favorite game,” one snickers. I’m dizzy and not sure which one it is anymore.
Just as I’m about to land in the hold of another, someone grabs me by the upper arm and pulls me away. I glance around, taking a few deep breaths until I feel like the ground isn’t tilting anymore.
My eyes practically pop out of my head when I realize the hand on mine belongs to Caden. He’s back to wearing his ripped jeans with a chain attached from the back pocket to the front. He’s topless under his leather jacket and my heart squeezes at the sight.
“Boys,” he says with half a smile. “Three against one, that’s not exactly playing fair, is it?”
As if he knows anything about playing fair.
“The bitch kicked me in the balls,” the one who had my phone grunts.
I struggle in Caden’s hold, trying to go for the guy again. “You stole my phone, assh—”
“Tsk, tsk,” he tuts at me, reeling me back. “You let a five-foot girl kick you in the balls, man? Sounds like ayouproblem. Not really her fault, is it?”
The other guy comes to his rescue when the first stutters his words. “Who fucking cares, bro. She’s NSC. Let’s give her a good lesson and send her back.”
His two friends nod in approval and my stomach becomes heavy.
Not again.
Caden exchanges a knowing look with him and steps forward, still holding me. “I get the idea.” Madness is pouring out of him, making him tighten his grip as we get closer to the other men.
My heart is beating in my ears while fear wraps around me. I shake my head, trying to stop memories from two years ago from flashing into my mind.
Caden unzips my jacket, displaying my skin-tight, white tank top. “You want to play with her, don’t you?”
They all nod. One even licks his lower lip like the disgusting dog he is.
My body feels foreign as their eyes run over me. I attempt to backpedal, but Caden settles behind me.
“See, the problem is,” he pulls my top low enough that the top of my boobs is showing. Then he pushes his index fingers hard against the bruise he left on me last week, making sure to hurt me in the process. “This, boys, has Caden King written all over it. And I’m afraid if I see you touch what’s mine again, I will have to kill every single one of you in the most sadistic way you’ve ever seen. And,” he inhales through clenched teeth, “it will be fucking bloody. Believe me.”
In unison, the three men take a step back.
