  Too many questions; too few answers. I was totally confused. I needed to hook up. I knew exactly what was going to be on my agenda tonight.

  chapter 8

  “That’s it, baby. Good girl. Take it all.”

  I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, as Travis buried his long, thick, sheathed cock into me, backed out, and then plunged it in again deeply, grunting his pleasure.

  Travis?

  Maybe his name is actually Trevor…what the fuck. Who cares?

  “Does it feel good, baby? Do you like the feel of Trevor’s cock ramming into your pussy like this, huh?”

  It’s Trevor…right. Random Trevor, referring to himself in the third person. Lovely.

  “Yeah, baby,” I murmured. “You’re the fucking best,” I lied, wishing he’d get his nut, because I sure as hell wasn’t going to get mine with this ass-hat.

  The problem was, he totally had a Bud-Lite hard-on going, and I knew that meant it would be a while before he came.

  “That’s right, baby,” he whispered, groaning and smothering my lips with wet, beer-flavored kisses. “You’re going to scream when Trevor makes you come.”

  Seriously?

  Aannd…that’s a wrap.

  “Get the fuck off of me,” I finally said, before clamping my mouth shut and turning my head away from him. “Now,” I said, louder.

  He stopped his thrusting momentarily, as if my words weren’t totally registering in his drunken brain. He didn’t pull out of me though, and I was getting really pissed.

  “Did you hear me?” I yelled, using my hands to push against his chest, trying to get his long, muscular frame off of me.

  “What the fuck?” he asked, loudly. “I ain’t goin’ nowhere just yet,” he remarked, shifting his weight so that my hands were smashed between the both of us as he continued humping me.

  “I said stop!” I screamed as loudly as possible. “I want you out of me and out of here!” I yelled into his left ear.

  “Fuckin’ bitch,” he growled, fisting my hair so that my head snapped back.

  I thrashed around underneath him, my legs getting twisted up in the sheets, my fists pummeling against his bare chest.

  “I said get off of me,” I shouted.

  Suddenly, I heard my bedroom door open and slam loudly against the wall, startling Trevor enough that his unwelcome thrusting stopped.

  In seconds flat, his weight was lifted off of me, and he was slammed unceremoniously against my bedroom wall, where he slid the rest of the way down into a naked heap on the floor.

  It was Cain. He was pissed…dark eyes flashing, his fists clenched at his side.

  “You have about two fucking seconds to get the fuck out of here,” Cain growled out the quiet threat, “Before I reinvent the term, blue balls. Got me?”

  Eli was there now as well, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, and wearing nothing but cotton sweats and a concrete look of concern.

  I scurried out of the bed, gripping the white sheets around my scantily-clad form and watched as Trevor ineptly got to his feet with no sheet and a deflated hard-on.

  Eli, now entirely awake, helped him find his clothes by tossing them at him. And if denim could ever give a person a black eye, I’m pretty sure that’s what they did as Trevor not-so-successfully tried to catch his pants.

  I watched as Eli gripped Trevor’s arm just as he was zipping up and began to lead him out of the room.

  “Get the fuck off me, fag!” Trevor wrenched his arm free.

  “Yeah…,” I heard Eli reply as he shoved Trevor through the open door, “Not goin’ to happen, asshole.”

  Their heavy steps down the stairs and Trevor’s drunken insults were the only sound in the 2 a.m. house as I stood there still staring at the door, trying to process the rapid chain of events that just went down.

  Hoooly shit!

  I looked over at the other person in the room, “Cain, I’m so sor—”

  “Give me a minute.” He cut me off, not even looking in my direction as his hands were settled on his hips, and he sucked in a deep breath, looking down at the floor.

  My mouth immediately closed. I had never heard Cain yell, and never even once saw the guy lose his shit. So, the fact that he was looking a little like the Hulk standing there in his Metallica T-shirt and black-striped PJ bottoms, meant I’m pretty sure I would’ve given him the entire night to get his cool mojo back.

  He looked up, and pinned me down with his dark eyes and a black look. Instantly, I shifted my sheet up a little higher. His eyes followed the movement, and I saw his jaw clench.

  “That’s not going to help,” Cain said, warningly.

  I shrugged, “Look, it’s not that big of a deal.”

  He responded by giving me one hell of a wry look before asking, “Is this what you do?”

  I stood up a bit straighter, “Excuse me?”

  “Take guys home. Let them fuck you in your own bedroom, even when you tell them no,” he deadpanned. “Is this what you do?”

  “No!” I exclaimed. What the hell was he talking about?

  “Then what just happened,” he took a step towards me, “is a big fucking deal, Paige.”

  “He just got carried away. I would have handled it,” I told him, probably trying to convince the both of us.

  Cain was about a foot from where I was standing now, and he was just about to take another step forward when Eli came walking in.

  “Okay, the trash has officially been taken out,” he announced, a bit ceremoniously.

  Cain shook his head and began to retreat towards the door, but not before tossing back the words, “We’ll talk in the morning, Paige.”

  I looked over at Eli for help. But he had nothing to give me except for, “Yeah, you fucked up.” He made his way over to an exit from this overly dramatic scene, “Bad.”

  And with that, the door closed.

  This…wasn’t good.

  I felt as if I were back in junior high school.

  Perched on a kitchen chair, Eli leaning back against the counter, arms crossed staring at me, while Cain was standing in front of me, hands once again on his hips, sort of glaring, while they both took turns verbally laying out the ground rules to me.

  “Last night can’t happen again,” Cain started off, leaning in a bit to make sure I knew that he was dead-ass serious.

  “Yes,” I nodded, putting a bit of meekness into my voice for sincerity.

  “Jesus, Paige, what was that?” Eli quipped in.

  I met Cain’s gaze before focusing all of my attention onto Eli. Yeah, I already knew that my day was shot. Waking up to these two and having to go through drinking my coffee in utter silence was definitely not my idea of starting out a good day.

  What really put the emphasis on the whole morning suckage, was the fact that I didn’t have an answer for either of them.

  Should I have brought Trevor back here last night? Probably not.

  Did I possibly have way too much to drink last night? Probably yes.

  What would have happened if Cain and Eli didn’t come in with their super-dude capes? I didn’t even want to think about the answer to that one.

  “Paige?” Eli said my name again, trying to regain my focus on the issue at hand.

  “I get it,” I told the both of them, crossing my arms and probably coming off as a petulant child.

  But, shit! These guys held all the cards right now, and this could all play out in a million ways. And I damn well wasn’t going to gamble by giving them an answer I wasn’t sure about.

  Another moment of silence.

  Clearly, when they saw I wasn’t going to give them the speech about how last night happened and why, Eli switched tactics. “It’s not about the sex.”

  What?

  “It’s about judging character,” Eli continued.

  “Uhh…well, if you’re saying that I should have seen what happened coming, then—”

  “That’s
exactly what I’m saying,” Eli deadpanned.

  Okay. I was struggling with the decision of either giving him a WTF? look…or the finger. Because I, honest to God, didn’t know how in the hell I could have possibly known that Trevor was going to go all “The Accused” on me.

  “Okay,” I said, getting up from the chair. “If you guys are seriously trying to convey that I asked for that last night, then screw you both.”

  I started to walk off when I felt a hand on my arm. Turning around, prepared to give one hell of a verbal lashing, I was surprised to see that it was Cain who had the vise-like hold on me.

  “That’s not what he’s saying,” Cain explained, meeting my gaze. I looked down to where he was holding me, and he let go.

  “Then what is he saying?” I didn’t even spare Eli a glance as I kept my eyes padlocked to Cain’s.

  “He’s saying that you should always pick someone who…takes care of you.” Cain took a step back, now looking over at Eli, who was nodding his head.

  “I don’t follow.”

  Eli tossed the remains of what was in his coffee cup into the sink before turning around to face me.

  “Trevor Mulroney always has a breath mint and at least six condoms at hand. He doesn’t give two shits about the women he sleeps with, because all he can think about is getting some. I mean, the guy doesn’t even care if the women he’s sleeping with get off. It might as well be rape even if it is consensual because they’re just a breathing pocket-pussy as far as he’s concerned. Something to use.”

  “Well, how was I supposed to know that?” I asked, my eyes darting between them both. Although in all honesty, wasn’t that exactly what I’d gone after? I was used to being used; I was used to using right back. For whatever reason, I sucked at cultivating relationships. Being “used” was my comfort zone.

  Eli was just about to respond, when Cain beat him to it.

  “You should have taken the time to know that,” he said softly, like this was a conversation just between the two of us. “You deserve respect, and in order to understand that, maybe a little self-respect is what you need the most.”

  I nodded slowly, my eyes drifting down to the kitchen tile. I felt a gentle hand come up to my jaw, and raise my head up to meet a pair of russet-colored eyes.

  “You have to learn to respect yourself,” Cain told me with gentle brutality, his hand still holding my face. “Sexuality isn’t a privilege or a lifestyle, Paige. It’s a person’s right. You can do anything you want to do with…whomever. But you have to respect yourself, and make sure that the other person damn well respects you too.”

  I let those words churn over in my mind a little before I even thought about responding. Letting out a breath that I didn’t even realize I had been holding, I made sure to meet both of their gazes straight-on. He was right. They were right. I had a long way to go, but it wouldn’t be any shorter if I continued on this self-destructive path.

  “I’m sorry.” I genuinely confessed. “I know that you’re both right. I’ll work on it, I promise.”

  chapter 9

  It had been nearly four months since that awful episode with Trevor and my men hosting their “come to Jesus” meeting with me. Since then, I had worked my ass off, both at the academy, and at home. And I had fought the temptation for any further random hook-ups, which I found was much easier if I wore myself out physically.

  So that’s what I did, both in the gym, at home, and with Cain.

  Let me explain. I helped Cain every chance I got with his catering business. It was a win-win because not only did I earn some extra cash, but I stayed out of trouble. Little by little I started banking some self-respect along the way.

  I was pretty sure that I had earned both Cain and Eli’s respect in the meantime, if I hadn’t had it before. I think they had been genuinely concerned about me—they cared about me and, in return, I had this unfamiliar need to please them. That was a first for me.

  I paid off my car, and had some additional spending money, which I put to good use, sprucing up my wardrobe, and buying some decorative things for the house, determined that it would have my signature style right along with theirs. After all, we were all in this thing together. It felt good to belong somewhere, and I knew that I did.

  I had kept a professional attitude where Darin was concerned. I mean, after all, he was still my superior and I needed to make sure that I kept everything above reproach.

  Besides, I really had no ax to grind with him. Everything he had said to me that evening had been true. Any inkling of a committed relationship had been in my own mind. I couldn’t hold him responsible for leading me on because he really hadn’t.

  We were getting the house prepped for the holidays. Eli had made plans to spend Thanksgiving with Darcy and Easton; Trace and Lindsey were spending Thanksgiving with Lindsey’s side of the family. Cain and I had been invited to Darcy’s as well, but Cain had a major catering gig and I had offered my help.

  And it wasn’t as if Thanksgiving was that big of a deal to me anyway.

  Now Christmas?

  Yeah, that was another story. I had already brought up the artificial Christmas tree from the basement, along with the multiple boxes of decorations.

  I had enlisted my men’s help in rearranging the living room furniture so that our tree could be placed in front of the picture window, so all who traveled down our street could see it, once it was decorated, in all of its eclectic and electric magnificence.

  My guys told me that once Thanksgiving had passed, we could get the tree and the outside lights that I had bought put up.

  Cain and I got through catering the banquet at one of the local country clubs. Once home, we were exhausted, so we flopped down on the sofa for a breather.

  “You did well tonight, Paige,” he complimented. “You’re a damn good worker. I appreciate your jumping in to help out, being that a couple of my trusted employees called off last minute. I like that I can depend on you.”

  I looked over at him, my head resting against the back of the sofa. “It means a lot to me that you said that,” I said with a sigh. “I’m not going to lie, though. It was a bitch today, Cain.”

  He nodded with a loud laugh on his lips and a silent one in his eyes.

  It always took me completely off-guard when Cain laughed. I mean yeah, I knew that the guy was human…but when there was a smile on his face; he went from a brooding man to a boyish, sexy guy. It was friggin’ disarming, and I never fully knew how to react and keep the moment when it happened.

  I didn’t even realize that I had probably been staring for a full-on minute when Cain looked over at me, a smaller smile hanging from his face. “You’re doing that staring thing again,” he teased.

  My eyebrows crept together at that comment, “What staring thing?”

  He let out another small laugh, and I kind of wanted to throw it in my pocket.

  “That staring thing you do when you don’t think I’m paying attention,” Cain explained.

  “Umm…I think someone needs to get his ego checked,” I nudged him playfully in the arm. “One, I don’t stare. And two, even if I did, what makes you think I’d waste it on someone who looks like they spend their spare time running over baby bunnies?” For bonus effect, I raised one eyebrow.

  I watched his eyes widen as he looked at me, right before he threw his head back and let out a deep, rich laugh. He looked back over, “Baby bunnies? Where the hell do you even get this stuff?”

  Waggling my eyebrows, I shrugged. “T.V.”

  He snorted, and I turned fully so that my body was facing his entirely now. “No, seriously. T.V. can teach you a lot of things, my friend. For instance, when I was fourteen and I heard that Billy Jameson wanted to kiss me, I watched Beverly Hills 90210 for a solid afternoon.”

  “And…?” Cain asked, with questioning eyes.

  “Aaaand, not only did I learn how to kiss…,” I paused dramatically, before gesturing him to come cl
oser, as if I planned on telling him my biggest, darkest secret. When he complied, I brought my face super close to his and whispered mischievously, “I learned how to French.”

  Exuberant shock took over his features, and that earlier smile built a home in his voice as he asked, “And what did this Billy think?”

  “Well,” I replied, tossing my hair back and having fun with this game we were playing. “He thought that I kissed way better than the sophomore girls.”

  “Did he?”

  It was such a quiet question. And for some reason, the low way Cain spoke those words were beginning to crack through the innocence of the moment we had just shared.

  Our faces were still close together when I managed a small nod, a new kind of moment shocking through the lessening space between us.

  His lips grazed mine first, and it was such a soft feeling that I knew if I had blinked, I wouldn’t have even felt it.

  Until he gave me a second one.

  This time, he ran his lips back and forth across mine, as if asking some arbitrary question. Looking back at that moment, I knew that I should’ve stopped it.

  Ended it.

  Started it on fire.

  Torn it to shreds so that later, I could delve into the trash can and piece it all back together.

  Instead, I sucked in a demanding breath and took his bottom lip between mine. Biting down lightly, I heard him softly growl right before feeling his hand lightly gripping the nape of my neck.

  And that’s when he decided to throw gasoline on his next kiss.

  Cain pulled my head back slightly, and then completely took over. His mouth softly worked mine at first, until I took another breath, and then he used that to his advantage, as his tongue stole in and caressed over mine.

  Jesus, he tastes fucking awesome.

  It was a mixture of mint and honey, and fuck me…I wanted a lot more.

  Bringing my arms up to grip his biceps, I leaned in and took back the advantage as I found a new angle for his mouth. Kissing him and sucking hard on his tongue, I felt his hands grip the skin that showed above my low-slung pants.
