And I can’t help but think…

If Jane was able to survive this battle with depression, then I can too.

I have my guys, my friends, and my brother by my side.

Depression won’t be the end of me.

I refuse to allow it to.

“Remind me again why we agreed to do this?” I murmur to Landon as we stand off to the side, as far away from the partygoers as physically possible.

Beckett, beside me, snorts into his cup of punch. “Because we’re saps when it comes to Ellie and will give her our balls if she wants them?”

Landon nods decisively. “Yup. That.”

I hide my laughter with my own cup and focus once more on the door leading to the pool.

Still no Ellie.

She texted to say she was on her way with her roommates a few minutes earlier—but of course, we already knew that, considering Zane’s been following her since she first left our sights to get ready.

We may like her friends, but we don’t trust them with Ellie’s safety. There are only five people in the world that I know will throw themselves in front of a bullet to protect Ellie.

I’m not as psychotic as the others. I know Ellie needs her space and freedom to make decisions.

Yet I’m terrified whenever she’s away from me.

What if The Divine One takes her again when she’s out of my sight? What if she’s the next sacrifice? What if she stubs her toe or gets lost or bangs her head?

It’s an immense relief to know that Zane’s with her right now. If I can’t be with her twenty-four seven, at least I’m secure in the knowledge that one of the other five men who love her will be.

God, Ellie…

My body tingles deliciously at just the memory of our time together at the cabin. I’ve never given much thought to my virginity, besides the fact that I wanted it to go to Ellie. I’m not an idiot. I knew about sex before I ever performed the act, and I’ve masturbated more times than I care to admit. Hell, I even watched shitty porn—though I always imagined the woman’s face as Ellie’s…and then immediately felt a murderous rage wash over me at the prospect of some other guy fucking my girl.

But being with her like that? It was better than I even imagined. And trust me when I say that I imagined it a lot.

The way her pussy clenched around my cock like a vise…

I grow uncomfortably hard in my swim shorts and immediately shift away, so I’m not awkwardly saluting the whole fucking world with my dick.

“Oh, hell,” Landon murmurs, suddenly averting his gaze.

“What?” My head snaps up as I search for the threat.

No threat…only horny high school girls.

Five of them stand near the rest of the partygoers, whispering and giggling amongst themselves as they not-so-inconspicuously glance in our direction. Four of them begin shoving at the one at the front, urging her to go to us.

“Ten bucks on Dom,” Beckett says dryly.

“Yeah.” Landon nods and takes another sip of his drink. “I’ll put twenty on Dom.”

I scoff. “No fucking way. Thirty on Beck.” Girls always go crazy for the British men and their accents.
