JAYDEN
Fury surgedthrough my veins as I stood in the doorway to Sadie's empty house. It was eight-ten, and she wasn't ready. She wasn't even home.
"You pissed her off," KJ muttered dryly, leaning against the door frame, arms crossed over his chest. "And adding Alyssa to this is going to make it worse." When I'd showed up here, and Sadie wasn't here, I took that as she was backing out of our deal. The deal that was keeping us from gang-banging her friend.
I may have overreacted earlier this morning with Sadie, but I didn't deal well with not having control, and Sadie telling me to go fuck myself sent me over the edge.
"Have no fear," Taylor sang, pounding up the steps of Sadie's front porch, followed by the other five Untouchables and Alyssa. "The Untouchable 8 are here."
"So, what are we doing here?" Carter shrugged.
"It's time we break Alyssa in properly," I said, my chest heaving with white-hot rage.
"This is a bad idea," KJ warned. He was probably right, but I couldn't see past my rage to think logically. Everything was so monumentally fucked up right now, with my sister being here to remind me of my future when all I wanted was Sadie.
Wrapping my fingers around Alyssa's arm, I jerked her into me. If Sadie wanted to play games, then we'd play games, starting with Alyssa. "Where is she?"
"How would I know, Jayden?" Alyssa shrugged. "You've isolated her from all her friends, including me. She has no one but you. So maybe you should ask yourself where she is." My lips curled into a snarl, but it wasn't because she was wrong. It was what I did. It just didn't usually last this long.
"Strip," I growled, releasing her arm. My gaze trailed over her. She wasn't Sadie.
"Look—" Alyssa said as we formed a circle around her.
"Strip," I cut her off.
"I'm totally down for this, but you should know that if we do this," she paused, pulling her arms through her shirt, "if you do this, Sadie will never forgive you."
"She's right," KJ said dryly. KJ was over my shit, not that he'd ever say it out loud, but he was. He liked Sadie. Everyone did. I did, but she didn't follow my rules, which made me psychotic. "If you fuck her best friend on her porch, there's no going back."
"And if she thinks you did it against my will…" Alyssa trailed off. "Well, you know how that will go down." Obviously, it wasn't against her will, but I wanted Sadie to think it was. And they were all right. I hadn't thought any of this through.
"Leave," I ordered everyone.
"Look, it's obvious you like her," Alyssa whispered, so only I could hear her as everyone exited the porch, pulling her arms through her sleeves. "Sadie's not like other girls. You can't bend her to your will." She shook her head. "You aren't half as scary as what she's already been through. So if you continue to force her into submission, you'll be the one that loses." She turned to walk away but stopped twisting back around to me. "Sadie will walk away from you and never give you a second thought, but I bet you can't do the same."
"Leave," I growled, this time louder, not wanting to admit she was right.
Sliding my hand down my face, I realized I was losing it. Sadie made me feel crazier than I already was. Sinking into the plastic porch chair, I watched everyone disappear into the darkness.
Complicated was the last thing I wanted, but everything was so screwed up when it came to Sadie and me. What was supposed to be a toy that I was tired of before my dick got wet turned into something else, and admitting that was hard, especially when there was no place for her in my future.
Together we were toxic. The kind of toxic I craved—the kind I needed.
None of this was ever supposed to happen. I was never supposed to fall for Sadie.
Now, what the fuck do I do?

SADIE
"Sadie,"Drew yelled from across the bar. My gaze flashed up from the table I was clearing. "Cash out, your cut." I forced a smile as I reached back to untie my apron from around my waist. The bar was dead tonight, and I hadn't made enough to get food on my way home, but this job went by seniority. Those who'd been here longer got the first pick of being cut or working.
Twisting around, I froze, my chest constricting when my gaze locked on Jayden's icy-blue glare. He was always impossible to read.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed under my breath. This was my job. He couldn't show his ass here. I needed this job.
"What time do you get off?" he asked dryly.
