They were jealous and controlling. Two older supposed brothers that looked nothing like me, because we weren’t family by blood. That panicked thrumming in my chest grew bolder as I stared into the pit of jealousy in Tobias’ eyes. Nick turned back, his gaze just as terrifying. “Unlock the phone, Ryth. We want to know what this prick has been sending you.”
“You think…you think he’s sent me a dick pic?”
Tobias’ lips curled. “Hashe?”
Oh God…oh God…heat bloomed between my thighs as Tobias lifted his hand, bracing it against the glass, blocking me in. “You looked at his cock, Ryth?”
And there was that look again.
The look that said he wanted to choke the life from me and fuck me all at the same time. Power rushed to my head, carving through the effects of the alcohol. “If he did?” God, I felt powerful in that moment, watching how badly they were affected. I needed this…needed to know how they felt about me. Because the truth was buried under the lies I kept telling myself. Lies I’d been whispering louder and louder the more time I spent with them. I wanted them just as much.
“If you did, then he’s fucking dead,” Tobias warned.
I flinched.
“Tell us the truth.” Nick dragged his fingers through his hair, then curled them into a fist. “Tell us the truth and we can work it out.”
He looked desperate, strung out, licking his lips before glancing at the phone's screen.Did he feel something for me?My breath caught in my chest and that same need flared inside me.
Did they both feel the same as I did?
I reached up and slowly entered the code, unlocking my phone. Tobias stepped away, opening up Gio’s text. “He thinks you’re fucking dating?” he snarled, scrolling through the few pages of texts Gio had sent me. “What’s this about a goddamn party? You planning on going, Ryth?” My brother met my gaze. “Was that it? You think you can sneak off and meet up with this fucking punk?”
“You planning on fucking this guy?” Nick asked carefully.
“What?” I flinched.“No.”
But he wasn’t having it. He shook his head, moving closer to take Tobias' place. But he wasn’t hot, cruel rage like his younger brother. No, Nick was cold and careful, his vengeance calculated. “You planning on losing your virginity tonight, little sister?”
Jesus,the way he said those words.Little sister…the words resounded as he pressed his body against mine, driving my spine against the glass. “Because if it’s that much of a burden...”
“Mine…” Tobias growled, his eyes flashing with rage as he came closer, sliding my phone into his pocket. “You get that? You…belong…to…me.”
Desire slammed into me with the words, even as a tiny part of myself made me shake my head. “No.”
“Oh yes.” Tobias strode closer and grabbed my arm. “Now get your ass in the car, Ryth. We’re taking you home.”
He pulled me toward Nick’s car, opened the door, then got in himself and pulled me down into his lap and slammed the door as Nick got in behind the wheel and started the car.
“Wait,” I barked, fighting him.“Tobias, stop!”
“Settle down, or so help me God, Ryth. You don’t know what I’m capable of right now.”
His grip left me as he clasped his arms around my waist, since we couldn't fasten the seatbelt over both of us.
“Fuck, try and run.” Tobias glared at me in the dark.“I dare you.”
His words were a warning, one I didn’t want to push.
“Get us home, Nick,” Tobias demanded, his ravenous gaze riveted on me. “Now."

I shovedthe car into gear and surged out of the parking space, tearing past the goddamn bridal shop, and headed for home. She was going to meet with that fucking kid? Was she…
Christ, my pulse sounded like a goddamn hurricane, thrashing in my head. Focus…focus.But my gaze drifted to her pale, goddamn beautiful face and her dark, innocent eyes. Didn’t she know what punks like that…Giowanted from her? God, if we hadn’t found the message…if she’d gone there...
