Stepping into the kitchen, I scanned it for Trinity, but she wasn’t in there. Her food was though. She’d gone all out. Gage was probably fucking thrilled. I started to head to the stairs when I paused and noticed the pool was all lit up and people were outside too. I hadn’t known the guys were making it a pool party.

Levi walked by with two drinks in his hands, and I started to turn until I saw him stop. Her back was to me, but I knew that hair. Even if I couldn’t see much else since she was sitting on the side of the pool. My eyes fell to her waist, then the flare of her hips.

Motherfucker.

Stalking to the door, I shoved it open. Levi leaned closer to say something to her, and she laughed. Swear to God, she laughed. First Trev and now Levi making her fucking laugh. I was almost to them when Gage stepped in front of me, blocking my way.

“Move, or this is gonna get ugly,” I said through clenched teeth.

“She worked her ass off all day. I told her to go get on a bathing suit and come have some fun,” Gage said, not backing down.

“Did you tell Levi to fucking drool all over her?” I snarled, not taking my eyes off the two of them.

“No. Levi is pretending. You know, like you did with her. To keep the others off. Don’t see the problem here.”

My hands fisted at my sides. “Because every horny bastard here is looking at her in that fucking bikini.”

Gage held up his hands. “So? She’s hot. They’re not touching her.”

My gaze swung to his, and I took a step toward him. Motherfucker raised his eyebrows and didn’t move. We both knew which one of us was the most dangerous. His crazy ass. The ones who didn’t fear death were the ones who feared nothing.

“She’s mine.” The words came out of my mouth before I could stop them.

“Really? Since when? This morning, you acted like you barely knew her.”

He was pushing me, and the son of a bitch was doing it on purpose.

“Gage,” I warned, “this is not your business.”

He took a step closer to me, bumping his chest against mine. “What if I want to make it my business?”

“Huck?”

Trinity’s voice was the only thing that stopped me from taking the first swing. My blood was boiling, and I’d never once wanted to hurt Gage. Until now.

I swung my gaze to her. She was wearing a hot-pink bikini that covered fucking nothing. I hadn’t even seen the back with her standing up yet, but I already knew that sweet ass was on display. Gina and her slutty-ass swimsuits.

“Go to my room,” I barked at her.

She stiffened, and I pointed toward the door.

“Go on back and drink your cocktail, sweetheart,” Gage said, walking over to her.

“If you touch her, I swear to God,” I growled.

Gage grinned at me. “You sound jealous, Huck. You’ve always shared with us. Right, Levi?”

Levi didn’t say a word. I realized then that the entire place had gone silent. My gaze went back to Trinity. She was staring at me as if I terrified her. That wasn’t my intention, but right now, this was me barely hanging on. I couldn’t be any calmer.

“Go on back to the pool,” Gage said to her gently.

That was when I moved. I was going to fucking kill him.

“HUCK! NO!” Trinity stepped in front of Gage and put her hand on my chest. “I’ll go downstairs. But come with me.”

I looked down at her, and those big brown eyes were pleading with me silently. Mental trauma. She had mental trauma. I had planned on talking to her about it. Instead, I had lost my damn mind, and she was the one calming me down. Who looked motherfucking mental now?

I nodded my head once, and she slipped her hand into mine. Gage’s fucking smile made me want to shatter his pearly-white teeth with my fist. I glared at him. He’d gone too far.
