Jay shook his head. “Not yet. Aim a bit to the side, right at his kidney.” He lowered the barrel of the gun until it rested where I assumed Chris’s kidney was. “Right here.”
And there it was, in Chris’s eyes—fear. No more pretending. He was scared and wasn’t able to hide it. He started to speak, but Jay hurried to cover his mouth. “Not a word from you.” He pressed the barrel against Chris’s head. Those blue eyes were glossy and wide, looking straight at me.
“Go on,” Jay told me. “Make it quick and sharp like a knife. I can hear how strong you’re punching, so don’t try to bullshit me.”
My fists trembled. I shouldn’t have kept looking at Chris’s eyes, but I did, and it made me ill. Knowing that Anthony would be forced to take my place was the only thing keeping me somewhat composed.
Before I got a chance to raise my fist, Anthony told Jay, “You're even more manipulative than Chris.”
Jay sharply turned his head to look at him. “The hell I am!”
“You are. And like he lost us, you will too.”
“Be quiet,” Jay said, the hand holding the gun trembling.
“There you go, just like Chris; telling me to shut my mouth. I pushed him out of my life, and I’m going to do the same with you. I don’t need manipulative bastards as friends.”
Jay growled, and my body froze in anticipation of a violent outburst, but that didn’t happen. Instead, Jay let go of Chris and shoved him at me. I grabbed him and hurried to move him behind me.
Jay took a step back until his naked ass slumped onto the sofa. The gun was still aiming at us, but more like an afterthought. “None of you understand how much I need this.”
“I understand,” Anthony said. “But it’s poisoning you.”
Jay shook his head. His anger seemed to have dwindled some, but I was still on high alert. “I’ve waited so long for this chance. That’s what kept me going.”
“You need more than revenge to keep you going,” Anthony said softly.
Jay rubbed his face. “Yeah, easier said than done. That monster needs to pay.”
“You’re right.”
It took me a second to realize it was Chris who’d spoken. He walked past me, and I was too stunned to pull him back.
“I should pay,” Chris said and stopped in front of Jay.
Jay raised his gun, the anger once more burning in his eyes. “Don’t play mind games with me.”
“I’m not playing games. You want revenge. Let me give it to you.” He went down on his knees in front of Jay.
Jay frowned at him. “Are you offering something?”
“I offer what you want. Get even. Do what you want.”
Jay leaned down and pressed the barrel of the gun against the side of Chris’s head. I watched anxiously, knowing that this was out of my control. “I want to hurt you so freaking bad, like I hurt those guys I raped.”
“Okay. I can take that.” His voice was so calm, he seemed oblivious to the danger he was in.
Jay snorted and leaned back on the couch, shaking his head. “Always so full of yourself. Your virgin ass will break in two.”
Chris let out a chuckle. The sound was so out of place, I wasn’t sure I’d heard him right.
Jay raised an eyebrow. “What’s funny?”
“You think I’m a virgin?”
Jay blinked in confusion, and I did the same.
“You’ve never been fucked,” Jay said. “You only ever fucked Anthony.”
