“Will you stop staring.” Flick pleads with me.
“Who is that?” I stammer, my words barely audible, but I know she hears me.
“Phoenix, please. I told you to keep your head down for a reason.” The alarm and distress in her voice matches my own,but no matter how hard I try I still can’t take my eyes off him. The monstrous ghost of my past.
“Fine. You’re only gonna make this worse for yourself. That’s Caleb Savage. Someone you don’t want on your back.”
Her warning should snap me out of my trance, but this is obviously where mine and Flick’s opinions differ. I don’t get a chance to say anything else when two guys appear behind him, flanking Caleb on either side. One brown eyed blond, and the other I’d recognize anywhere, my body tingling at the memory.
Another ringmaster of my nightmares.Just like he promised he would be the first time I met him. My demon in disguise is back, hopefully willing to torture me some more, and my fucked-up soul squeals with excitement at the thought.
“Shit, Phoenix. What is wrong with you? Do you have some kind of death wish you forgot to tell me about?” I turn and see her eyes are still downcast, refusing to look at anything other than her uneaten food. “Do you want them to come over here?”
That’s the plan. Something warns me against telling her that that’s what I want. What I need. That I’ve been desperate to get a glimpse of Dane again and now I have, I need him to acknowledge me. I also quickly realize that I need to learn more about Caleb. As I continue to stare him down, I see he’s not who I thought he was, the striking resemblance has me on edge. He looks so much like someone I used to know. My feelings right now, right in this moment are too fucked up to put into words.
“Those are the Savage Brothers.” She whispers into my ear, hoping that now I know I’ll take my eyes off them.
“Brothers?” Fuck me. No wonder they all have that same brooding expression. Deadly, lethal and hypnotizing all rolled into one. I swallow hard as a twisted thought enters my mind,creeping in. Totally consuming me as a wild and feral need wreaks havoc with my body. I can’t even hate myself for thinking it, but my body is responding to the thought of being claimed by all three of them.
What the hell has happened to me?
“Yeah, brothers. Trust me, you don’t want to get on the wrong side of any of them. The two on either side are brothers by blood. Caleb, he’s their stepbrother thanks to a marriage of convenience.
Well, if their dad is as hot as these two then I bet Caleb’s mom isn’t complaining—or the other way around.
“They look so… feral and dangerous.” I admit out loud before I can stop myself, earning me a wide-eyed glare from Flick.
“That’s because they are.” She whispers back. “They’re all ruthless, but it’s Dane you need to watch out for. That guy is a deranged psycho. He’ll eat you up and spit you straight back out again.”
Don’t I fucking know it. A small smile creeps onto my face as the memory of just how feral he can be comes rushing to the forefront of my mind. Flick has no idea that he’s already made his mark. He claimed me the first night I arrived and I enjoyed every sinful second of his sweet torture. A sweet torture my body has been crying out for ever since.
“Look, if you want my advice I’d avoid them like the plague. When they come for you, which they will, you better make sure you run in the opposite direction. Run far and wide so they can’t sniff you out, because if they do there will be no coming back from it.”
Flick makes it sound so easy. I’d probably believe her if I hadn’t already experienced a couple of encounters with Dane. I already know he isn’t going to be easy to run away from. “They’re trouble. All three of them. They’ll break you for fun. Destroy every part of you just to pass the time before tossing you aside when they’ve found someone else to play with.”
I know she’s telling me the truth. I also know she’s looking out for me and trying to be a good friend. Flick wants to look out for me but it’s too late. The damage has already been done. Irreparable damage and no matter how hard I try; I can’t stop looking at the devastating Savage Brothers. All three fucking demons.
Silence fills the Great Hall and all eyes fall on me, attention I never needed crashing into me in waves when Caleb makes his move, striding toward me with murder dancing in his emerald eyes.
“Now you’ve gone and done it.” Flick seethes beside me.
CALEB
The hall falls silent as I walk through the oak doors, Cameron and Dane close behind me before flanking my sides. We’re the ruthless Savage Brothers. The Kings of Stonebrooke. Guys, they want to be us and the chicks; they’ll do anything to get within touching distance. Willing to do anything for a chance to fuck us.
I smile wide when the masses part, the way Moses parted the red sea, and so they fucking should. These motherfuckers should be grateful to be in our presence. Lucky enough to breathe the same air. Most people haven’t been so lucky. Nothing but measly peasants mixed with sewer rats.
Personally, I hate that we have to share classes with them, let alone mealtimes, but we have to keep up appearances for appearances sake. We all have to make sacrifices every once in a while. We usually stay up at the Manor house. Something Iprefer, but every now and then we’re encouraged to show face—to remind these deadbeats who’s really in charge.
“New girl, three O’clock.” Cameron whistles down my ear but I already spotted her the second I walked through the doors. Hiding out at the back with none other than Flick the prick. Fuck, of all the people she could have befriended, Phoenix had to go and choose her. A fucking frigid nerd who jumps whenever someone looks in her direction.
I can feel my composure slipping with each second that passes. My jaw clenches as familiar and unwelcome hazel eyes reflect back at me, burning me, scorching me from the inside. I had every intention of ignoring her should our paths cross, but I didn’t think it would be this hard. Phoenix is something else, for sure. Dane was right. Seeing her now, just feet away—it hits different. In all the wrong fucking ways—like a sucker punch to the chest.
“Damn, she’s hot as fuck.” Cameron says as the jerk elbows me in the ribs to get my attention. It takes everything I have to stop myself from reaching out and punching the little fucker in the face. “But I think she’s look even hotter sucking my dick…” Cameron adds before throwing his head back on a laugh.
“Well boys, happy to confirm she looks fucking incredible on her knees with a solid dick rammed to the back of her throat, cutting off her oxygen supply.” Dane scoffs by my side, no shame in admitting what he’s already done to her, even though I warned him to stay away from her.
“Maybe I’ll go introduce myself…” Cameron moves forward but comes to a sudden stop when he crashes into my outstretched arm as it slams hard into his chest, a stark reminder of his place.
