“I don’t have to,” he quipped. “I want to.”
“Is this really necessary?” I hissed, lowering my voice so as not to draw attention.
So much for that. Several people took notice of the two of us together. Most of them were female. Big shock. One girl straight up glared as we passed. I could just imagine what people would say. The last thing I wanted was for anyone to think I would sink so low as to willfully be with Gage Corwin.
“Pretty sure it is. You’re too tightly wound. You might be a flight risk.” With his free hand, Gage dug his phone from a pocket. He thumbed around on the screen before showing it to me. “See this? That’s you right there on the map. Try to run and we’ll be all over you.”
I let the disgust I felt show all over my face. “Impressive. That must make you feel like a tough man, huh? Pathetic.”
I walked two steps in front of him, forcing him to walk faster. If he wouldn’t let go of my hand, then he could at least keep up. The sooner we got to class, the sooner I could get away from him for a while.
Gage waited until we were right outside our first class of the day. Then he pulled me against him, gripping my chin to force my gaze to his. His hazel and blue eyes searched me.
“Do you really want to know what makes me feel like a badass, Raina? Violently fucking the attitude out of snarky little things like you. Now be a good girl and go take your seat. It better be right next to mine.”
He let go of my hand, motioning for me to enter the classroom. Now I was fired up. I lingered, waiting for a few people to file into the room.
When nobody was within earshot, I said, “You’ve never known anyone like me. Never fucked anyone like me, and you know that it will take a lot more than your cock to tame me. Why else would you do everything you can to keep me?”
I didn’t wait for his reply. I strolled into the classroom like I didn’t have a care in the world, leaving Gage standing in the hallway stewing.
CHAPTER TWO
HAVOC
“You expect me to wait here while you guys go dump Jenna’s body?” Raina slid a suspicious glance across the table to Gage. “Don’t tell me that you’re leaving me here with him. I’ve reached my capacity for Gage today.”
Gage paused with his burger halfway to his mouth. Nailing her with a wicked glare, he took a vicious bite of burger, holding eye contact as he chewed. Pointing a finger across the table at her, he snarled, “You’re next.”
“You’re revolting,” she said calmly before dropping her gaze back to her plate. Swirling a fry through some barbecue sauce, Raina popped it into her mouth.
Every little thing she did was far more sexy than it should have been. I eyed the drop of sauce that stained her fingertips. Would she freak out if I leaned over and licked it off? Yeah, probably.
“Actually, Knight will stay with you.” I reached over to pluck a fry from her plate. I’d already finished mine. “I don’t trust you and Gage to stay alone together. You’ll probably find a way to kill one another.”
“Good call.” Raina nodded. Gage merely snickered.
I wasn’t lying though. I didn’t entirely trust him with her. He had a dark streak that went deeper than I think any of us knew. Although I still felt guilty for suspecting him of hurting her when we’d thought she was dead, I didn’t trust the way he looked at her. Like he wanted to wrap his hands around her neck and just keep squeezing.
It was a hell of a gorgeous neck though. Especially with our collar encircling it. I’d like to give it a squeeze myself. Watch her eyes grow wide as she struggled to breathe. I shifted awkwardly in my seat, trying to subtly adjust my hard on.
“Stay inside,” I continued. “Both of you.”
Knight sat back in his chair, sipping a beer. “No problem. I have a project to work on tonight anyway. Are you sure you won’t need my help?”
I shook my head. “It’s cool. We shouldn’t be long. A couple hours maybe. Sit tight.”
“Where do I sleep tonight, Havoc?” Raina asked, nibbling another fry. “Don’t say in your bed. I’m not a doll. I need my own space.”
Much as I hated to admit it, I’d enjoyed having her curled up next to me last night. She was being far too agreeable though. Too nice and calm. That wasn’t like the Raina Monroe I’d been getting to know.
“You can sleep at the foot of my bed,” Gage offered with a smirk. “Like a dog.”
Raina glared daggers across the table at him. I half expected her to throw her plate at him. Instead, she coolly said, “Or, and hear me out, you can go fuck yourself.”
I stood up, not in the mood to deal with this shit. “There’s a body in the garage. That’s our priority. Until we deal with that, I don’t care where anyone sleeps, and you can all go fuck yourselves. Cool?”
A sassy little smile played about Raina’s lips. Damn, I wanted to spank her ass until it was red and too sore for her to sit down. I motioned for Gage to join me as I left the table and swiped my keys from the counter.
