“Don’t be a brat, Serena. Give me the keys.” Midas’s body pushes against me, boxing me against the car. So close that if I moved even an inch, we would be fully touching each other. His dark eyes stare down at me. A playful smirk lights up his face that instantly makes my panties wet.
The mental image of him on top of me with that same look floods my brain, making my knees weak and my breathing pick up. As if he can sense where my thoughts have gone, a small growl builds in his throat.
“I won’t ask again. Give me your keys.” He whispers into my ear.
I don’t know what it is about him being so dominant that makes me want to submit to him, but it does. I hated submitting to Evan, knowing I only did because of the thought of the violence that would follow. But with Midas, I don’t worry about that. We may have had a rocky start, but I always knew he would never physically hurt me.
I pull my keys out of my pocket and dangle them from my fingertips beside his head. He goes to grab them with his free hand, but I pull them to my chest. He releases my throat with a growl of annoyance. Reaching for them again, I quickly move them to my side before he snags them from my hand. He doesn’t notice me move, and his hand lands on my breast. A soft gasp leaves my lips when his warm, soft skin touches me.
Suddenly I wished I wasn’t wearing this baggy sweater.
Instead of dropping his hand from my breast, like a gentleman would do, he grabs harder. My nipples pebble under my shirt, loving the feeling of his hand on me. I close my eyes as he gently starts massaging it. He leans in impossibly close. Our breaths mixing. A moan greedily leaves my lips and brushes against his.
So lost in the moment, I don’t notice his other hand moving until the keys are ripped out of my hand. I open my eyes to see a cocky as fuck Midas standing in front of me with my keys dangling from his fingers.
“You are a fucking brat, but I love it.” The words are so low, almost as if he didn’t want me to hear him admit that.
A frustrated growl erupts from me as I push him away. He takes a step back, creating the space I need to think clearly. The fucker played me like a violin to get what he wanted. I can’t tell if I am pissed at him for distracting me or because now, I am worked up and can do nothing about it.
Pushing off the car, I stomp to the back door on the other side of the car, as far away from Midas as I can get. I slid into the back seat, slamming the door closed behind me. Midas looks at me through the window for a second, mouthing how much of a pain in the ass I am with a smile on his face.
Odin slides into the back seat beside me, looking smug that he got there before Zeus did. I can see Zeus huffing out an annoyed laugh outside the front window before relenting and climbing into the passenger seat.
I stare out the window as the town passes by, lost in my own world. Every time I have a moment of quiet, that night plays repeatedly in my mind. I can’t get that guy’s voice out of my head. My hand trails up to the wound on my arm by itself. Feeling around the tender skin. It doesn’t help that I will now have a permanent reminder of what he did.
As if they can sense where my thoughts are going, Zeus reaches back and squeezes my knee. Odin grabs my hand, squeezing it like he never wants to let go. Midas is staring at me in the rearview mirror. I don’t know if I will ever get used to having all their attention.
I give them each a pathetically small smile, hoping to hide how I feel. I highly doubt they bought it, but no one is saying anything.
Not much later, Midas is pulling into the school parking lot and parking my car where he normally parks his motorcycle. He turns around and examines me with his calculating amber eyes. When he finds what he is looking for, he nods to Odin and Zeus. Odin squeezes my hand before opening his door and getting out. He keeps it open, waiting for me to follow him.
I managed to ungracefully scoot myself, only having one working arm makes it extremely difficult, across the backseat and out his door. Odin wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me close to his side. His comforting scent of leather and smoke fills my senses. It’s become one of the things I like most about Odin. His scent alone can lull me into a sense of safety and security.
It’s not something I have ever had before, and having it with him is more than I could have ever asked for.
Zeus and Midas have a few quick words before getting out of the car. Zeus gives me such a warm smile that I feel like I could melt into a puddle right now.
I’ve only known him for a little over two months, but Zeus has changed so much in that small amount of time. He is still shy and uncertain of himself, but he is starting to open up more.
Odin and I start walking towards the school. Midas and Zeus are following close behind. I look over my shoulder, seeing them close together, having another whispered conversation. Neither of them looks happy.I wish I knew what they were talking about.I turn around and look up at Odin. His blonde hair is tied back in a bun like he usually wears it.
I grabbed his arm to stop him. Odin looks at me, concern is the first emotion he shows. As I start to lift on my tiptoes, confusion takes over his face. Pulling the hair elastic from his locks, and let it cascade to his shoulders. I ran my fingers through his luscious, soft hair.
There. That is better.
Odin gives me a soft smile before leaning down and gently placing his lips against mine. I melted into the kiss. It isn’t a grand show of his feelings for me, but I can feel it all the same. That small kiss told me exactly what he was feeling.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” A shrill, annoying voice squawks from across the parking lot.
Odin
I growl against Serena’s lips as I hear Valerie’s voice. Taking a few deep breaths, I pull away from Serena and look over her head at Valerie storming towards us.When will this girl get the hint that we aren’t interested?
When Midas told us what Valerie had said to him, we all agreed to make her life as miserable as possible. I still can’t believe she had the balls to do what she did, but that doesn’t matter anymore. She threatened my girl. That is a punishable offense to me.
I am just more amazed after the public humiliation we gave her in the cafeteria the other day, she still dares to act the way she does. Actually… I’m not. The bitch is dense and that will never change.
Midas and Zeus walk up next to us, the three of us surrounding Serena. Her guards, who would do anything to protect her, even if it is just against a high school bully. Valerie looks like she is ready to blow, which brings an obnoxious smile to my face.
