I take a deep breath and try to relax. He’s right. She has never missed a practice, and even though we had that small fight, I know she still cares about me. I finish getting dressed then head out to the field.

I spot her instantly with that science nerd Rogers. She is laughing with him as he tells her something. My blood boils, and I find my feet leading me their way before I can stop them.

“What the fuck is this?” I roar watching as Cat’s face goes white. She quickly stands and moves over to me.

“Hi, Rex, shouldn’t you be at practice right now?” She looks over my shoulder at the field, and I stare down at the dead boy walking. He gulps and avoids my eyes.

“I–I have to go Cat, but I’ll email you about our assignment.” He grabs his things and takes off. I scoff at how weak he is.

“That was rude. Rogers was just going over our class project. We have to make a diagram of the human body. Remember?” She gives me a scowl, and I clench my fists a few times.

“I don’t like the way he was looking at you. He wants to fuck you.” She scoffs and laughs, thinking I’m kidding, but I know it’s true.

“It doesn’t matter, Rexley Scott, because he’s not the one I’m falling for.” She gives me a kiss then swats me on the ass. “Go to practice, then take me home and show me how much I’m yours.”

I kiss her hard and bite her lip, swallowing her moans, then stomp down the bleachers and take out all my frustration on the field. I’ll show her she’s mine all right, later, and Rogers better watch his back too.

No one touches what’s mine.

CHAPTER15

NOW

REXLEY

Iwatch her as she sleeps. I have always loved watching her. The way her brow crinkles, and she scrunches her nose. She looks so peaceful. I remember when we would watch movies together, and she would fall asleep on my shoulder before we were even halfway in. She felt safe and comfortable with me then, and I miss those days.

I press play on the video I paused and grab the bag of chips next to the mattress I have on the ground. Cat’s smiling face greets me as she presses a kiss onto my cheek. We had just won the homecoming game, and my girl was there on the sidelines, cheering me on.

“You were amazing, Rexley,”she tells me as Nick zooms the camera closer in on us. I wrap her in my arms and spin her around before kissing her hard. Ronnie scoffs and fluffs her hair as Kelly jumps on Adam’s back.

“Whoo, let’s get this party started,”I shout to the awaiting crowd and take Cat’s hand. She looks up at me with love, and I pause the video on that frame.

“I remember that day,” Cat whispers from her cage. “It was my first high school party, and I was nervous. I had fought with my dad that night before leaving for the game. It was the first time he warned me about you,” she laughs, shaking her head. “I told him he was wrong. I should have listened,” she mutters under her breath, and I clench my fists.

“Daddy’s perfect little girl,” I sneer. I am so sick of the hypocrisy. “But I changed that. I showed you who you really were, and I was the one condemned for it. I was punished and locked away. All because I tried to set you free,” I roar and watch as she flinches.

I chuck the remote at the TV and don’t even blink when the screen spiders. The cracks run along her porcelain face, and all it does is further prove my point. The perfect little doll.

“Get comfortable pet, because you and I are meant to be. Soon, you will see what I’ve always seen.”

“What’s that?” she croaks through her tears. Ugh, crying again. I glance her way with a grin and shrug.

“That you’re mine.”

CHAPTER16

THEN

CAT

Laying on the couch, he slowly runs his hand up my thigh, teasing the edge of my pajama shorts. I smile into his chest and try to hide that I know what he’s doing.

“You better stop. You don’t want my dad walking in,” I say quietly. He is in the kitchen making dinner, and he will not be happy to learn his angel is not so innocent anymore. Rex’s chest shakes with his quiet chuckles, and I bite my lip to keep from joining.

“You’re bad, Rexley Scott,” I mutter into his chest. He squeezes me tighter and kisses the top of my head, running his fingers through my hair. A small moan escapes my lips, and he shifts his hips, letting me feel the hard bulge in his basketball shorts.

“You better stop teasing me with those soft moans, or I will really give you something to cry out about,” he says, gripping my hair tight and yanking. My eyes roll back, and I start to pant.Fuck.That is not fair. My dad coughs in the other room, and I snap out of my lust-filled haze. I slowly sit up and move beside him, ignoring his laugh. He grabs one of the smaller pillows and places it over his lap.
