At first, it looked like a porn clip with a girl and two guys. I almost closed it when I noticed something familiar about the people.
Fuck, I cursed silently, realizing he’d sent me a clip of me, Corey, and Caleb. This was the thing he’d taped while his brothers forced themselves on me.
I felt someone shaking me. “Hey, you okay?” Luke was staring at me closely. “Are you feeling all right?”
My phone vibrated again.
Looking down, I read the text under the video.Look toward the counter- Noah.
My head swung toward the corner. Noah stood there, easily standing out from the mass of college students in his neat, posh clothes.
“Milla?” Luke called. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry,” I said in a rush. “I need to go.”
“Wait!”
I didn’t stop but hurried through the crowd of swaying people to reach the devil standing by the bar’s counter. Rage and humiliation coursed through my veins. How could Noah play so dirty?
“You didn’t have to make it so hard on yourself,” said Noah when I reached him.
“I hate you.”
“Fine by me.”
“What do you want, asshole?”
Noah’s gaze fixed on my lips. “To clean that dirty mouth of yours.”
“Delete that video,” I said, breathing hard.
Noah grinned, his silvery eyes sparkling darkly. “Why would I do that? It’s the only thing that got you here when Luke Beckett was about to kiss you. Do Corey and Caleb know about him? I bet they’d see what a whore you are when they find out.”
“What are you talking about?” I grated through clenched teeth. “There’s nothing between me and Luke.”
“Is that the reason he’s slumming it with you and the other plebs?”
I involuntarily bit my bottom lip. Noah already figured out why Luke was here. Even I couldn’t deny his interest in me anymore.
“Follow me,” said Noah and grabbed my wrist. Before I could resist, he leaned into me and whispered, “Make a scene and I’ll share that video with everyone on my contact list. Your mother’s number is in there too.”
My eyes widened. “You wouldn’t,” I whispered.
“Wouldn’t I?” he asked with a raised brow. “You still hesitate to believe how far I’d go?”
Fear choked me. It was one thing to let people see the way he humiliated me but a clip of me having sex with my stepbrothers would destroy me. And if Mom and Brian saw it...
I squeezed my eyes shut, unable to even bear the thought of it.
“Come on,” said Noah.
I let him drag me away toward a closed door behind the counter. Hot fumes and the smell of fried food wafted into my nostrils as Noah led me down a hallway.
“Where are we going?” I asked in a hushed voice.
“A quiet place for me to punish you.”
My heart pounded against my chest. I knew exactly how he wanted to punish me.
