“After that comment, I hope you enjoy being on your knees for the next week, Goldie.” Corvin groans, Leah looks like she is about to have a stroke and Beck still looks pissed off. I look to the other sofa to see Crue and Saint both sitting there with shit eating grins on their faces, that’s when the tension between Darius, Beck and Leah makes sense. She slept with Beckett!
Turning back to Corvin, I smile up at him. He keeps his face blank as he stares down at me. “I like your friends. They’re cool and all that but believe me when I tell you, Reaper, none of them could handle my crazy ass. I don’t plan on having a threesome, foursome or anysome with any of them.” My words seem to put his jealous ass at ease and the tension in his shoulders eases as he reaches out and pulls me into him, hugging me tight as he places a kiss on the top of my head. Katie told me his ex, Lana, cheated on him and I know that his sister’s playful banter with Beck worries him that I’ll start doing the same, but I won’t. I’d never do that shit to him because I don’t see another guy but him.
Corvin is my gravity and I’d never do anything to jeopardize what we have, I love him way too fucking much for that to happen.
Corvin
We pull up on the other side of the park in my Range Rover where I told the fucker to meet me. I brought an empty duffle with me for visual purposes only in case he’s watching from a distance and spooks when he doesn’t think I have the money. I look to Crue who is driving. Beck, Saint and Darius sit in the back.
“Circle back to the other side and come in from behind.” Crue nods as I get out of the car and walk through the dark park. After five minutes, I feel eyes on me and stop near the outskirts of the trees that border around the park. I slowly turn around to see Jason standing there. The moon is our only source of light out here. He takes a couple steps closer and I take my time as I look him over. The guy looks fucking strung out, his eyes constantly darting from side to side and he’s unable to stop rocking back and forth, he’s coming down.
“Hand it over,” he rushes out. I drop the bag on the ground beside my feet, making his eyes narrow. “Don’t fuck me around. I got other pictures of her—”
“Did you feel like a man pushing her around? Or what about when you would see her cover the bruises you left on her with makeup?” I’m vibrating with rage, the need to feel his bones break beneath my fists thrums through me.
“She should have shut her fucking mouth, the stupid bitch—” I don’t give him a chance to finish before I’m launching at him and landing a jab to his nose. I feel the bones break. He stumbles backward and nearly falls to his ass but Beck and Darius are there catching his arms and holding him up. He struggles in their hold as he looks around, when he sees Crue and Saint standing on either side of me, he pales. “What the fuck is this?” he shouts. I relish the sound of fear in his voice.
“This is your reckoning, you worthless sack of shit, I’m going to take everything from you like you did to her,” I sneer. His eyes widen as I come at him again, this time I don’t stop at one punch, I keep going. It’s like a haze has come over me and I see nothing but the need to make him hurt like he did to my girl.
“Corvin, stop,” Saint shouts as he and Crue wrestle me away from the sack of shit. I shake my head to clear it and gape at the sight in front of me. Jason hangs limply in Beck and Darius’s hold with his chin against his chest, even without a light I can see the blood that is smeared all over his face. “Let’s go, now.”
Darius and Beck release him from their hold and he drops to the ground. I have to force myself to turn away from him and follow after the others or I know I’ll end up killing him. I ride shotgun while Saint drives and the others climb in the back, we’re all silent until we pull around the back of my building. Saint kills the engine and none of us make a move to get out. My adrenaline is still running high.
Saint looks over at me and whatever he sees on my face has him speaking to distract me from my thoughts. “The hostile takeover for my dad’s company is next Monday. I want you all back at CHU with me.” I stare at him in disbelief. We never pushed the issue with Devon, knowing this was hard for Saint, but hearing him say the words finally makes me so fucking proud of him. “Once I do this, we’ll finally be free of all this shit and be able to finally… chill.”
I haven’t given much thought to what that would look like. With Devon gone, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about him trying to fuck us from behind the scenes. Beck is due to move back in a couple of months, and Darius and Leah plan to move back to CHU in a couple of weeks. I need to get my ass back there and sort out shit with that house and see Cody.
“We’ll be there,” Beck answers for us. Now I just need to convince Alexa to try to take her last two exams online because I’m not leaving her behind.
“When do you head back to New England?” Crue asks.
“Two weeks,” I answer dejectedly. I hate that I’m going to be away from my girl, she still has at least a couple of years left of school and I won’t ask her to give up her dreams for mine.
“Would she transfer to CHU?” Darius asks. I mull over his words for a second.
“I never thought about it to be honest,” I reply.
“Maybe ask her, because Leah will be there, at least that way she can stay with us and I’ll keep an eye on her.” Darius has a point.
“And make sure you keep your dick in your pants,” Crue snarks. I turn and pin him with a glare, which causes the prick to laugh. We sit in the car for a long time, just talking shit and making plans for the future but the moment my phone vibrates in my pocket, all my focus is on the message from my girl.
Jail Bait
I miss you!
How much do you miss me?
Jail Bait
Enough to be fingering myself while texting you one handed.
“Fuck,” I snap, then look to my boys and salute the fuckers. “I’m out, thanks and all that shit, got a girl to do so, later.” The four of them all laugh at me as I bail on them. I’ve never, and I mean never, bailed on my boys for a girl before. They were my number one but now, I have a girl that I love, and the need to be with her always is fucking strong.

One week later
Sitting here staring out the windshield, I don’t really see anything, I’m too lost in my own thoughts. So much has happened this past week. I managed to convince Alexa to transfer to CHU, it only took denying her to come a few times before she agreed. I had her dorm room packed up in record time and her transfer put in at WFU within a day. Her and me, with the help of Saint and Crue, cleaned out the old house and got it set up for D, Leah and my girl. It feels good having our home base back, this is the house we always come back to and I know that isn’t going to change any time soon. The hostile takeover went better than we could have thought. Devon somehow got wind of what was happening and fled. Saint seems to think we haven’t seen the last of his father and I’m inclined to agree with him. Devon isn’t the type to cut and run and not retaliate.
