I smile. "You call it punishment and I call it teaching you a lesson. Come on, you know Friday the 13th movies are my favorite. Indulge me, Princess."
She almost growls. "Never. Are you going to tell Gunner?"
"He already knows. We were together when Dec called me."
My words have the intended effect. I take great delight in seeing her eyes go wide as saucers."You didn't have to tell him, Kai."
There's no need to explain myself, she knows I would never keep anything from him. That's not how we operate. Even so, if I had then that would’ve been a direct violation to the Brotherhood that we're a part of.
When we arrived in Pixie Hollow we found for the first time that we weren't alone in our afflictions. Like us, they're all cold hard killers, but that doesn't mean we have to be bad people.
We have rules for a reason. One of which is using complete honesty which helps to keep us grounded, and well-balanced.
She doesn't fully understand what the Brotherhood is yet but one day she will. I smile when she mutters something about the damn Brotherhood underneath her breath.
"How mad is Gunner?" Her voice is small.
She always likes to be perfect in Gunner's eyes. "All we ever ask is for you to let us know what you're doing and to stay away from fuckers like Chad. You're two for two tonight so how mad do you think he is, Pres?"
"You don't have to be such a smart ass about it. When are you two going to let me live my life?"
"Why don't you ask him that?"
When she gives me a pointed look I can't help but laugh. "I don't have any clothes at your house."
If it was up to me you'd never wear clothes again. "You can wear some of mine."
The thought of that just made my dick go from a five to a full blown ten. It doesn’t help that the way she responded to me told me all I need to know about where her headspace is at.
I'm getting tired of this waiting bullshit. I know Gunner has finally realized that we're never going to be cured, but it’s been two years too long.
It’s also true that we don't deserve her, but we are the only ones that could make her happy.
"Kai, I can't wear your stuff."
"Why?"
"Because you're a whore, and I don't want to wear something you've let one of your little sluts wear."
And her beautiful sweet name is Jealousy. "Stop smiling, Kai, and take me home!"
"I'm not taking you anywhere but my bed. I don't let anyonewear my clothes ever, Pres, you know that. I don’t let anyone get in my bed either. You're the only girl I've ever spent the whole night with, and that'll never change."
"Kai, don't say things like that to me."
"I'll never stop. I'm going to keep saying these things until you finally believe me."
Her whole body tenses when the frat house comes into view. She’s always said that there’s too much testosterone here, but I don’t think that’s the reason.
It’s the thought of being in bed with me all night long. I doubt we’ll get much sleep tonight, but thanks to my brother putting us off making her ours until after school starts, it won’t be because I’m fucking her.
“Let’s go get a shower, make some popcorn, and watch some movies.”
She bristles against me as I help her out of my truck. “No scary movies, Kai. I mean it.”
Pushing a stray hair out of her eyes, I look down into her beautiful face. “Now Princess, what makes you think I’d want to watch that?”
“Because you’re a sadist!” She shouts as she storms off inside the house.
