I put my bag around my shoulder as he walks me to the door of his office.
“I just–” I’m cut by the sound of the front door opening right behind the office door, and the voices coming in. Jake’s laugh resonates in the grand foyer, followed by Luke finishing his joke and Rose’s raspy voice telling him that he’s dumb.
My eyes widen as they meet Nathan’s. “No,” I whisper as I see the wicked smile that spreads on his lips.
He can’t simply wait until they head to their rooms, he can’t keep this between us. His hatred for his brother is too much, their game of attack and revenge runs too deep between them.
He opens the office door and walks out in front of me.
Jake’s surprised voice is still ignorant when he talks to Nathan. “I thought you were away in—” It dies when he sees me. Still in the office, desperately trying to hide behind Nathan.
I step forward, the need to leave too strong to stay through the tension. I notice Rose, Luke, and Chris still by the door while Jake has stepped closer to us.
Rose is wearing a sweater and lacrosse skort, holding her stick with one hand. The guys are all wearing basketball shorts and Jake is topless, his jersey tucked in the waistband of his shorts and hanging off the side. God, I forgot how fit this man is. All tanned skin and ripped abs. Sweat is coating his clear skin, free of tattoos except for the one and only I know he has on his back. The opposite of Nathan who is covered in them. What mess did I manage to put myself in again?
Jake’s eyes go from Nathan’s unbuttoned shirt to me. I know what I must look like, I’ve got that just fucked look on me right now. I wince when I see his jaw click. When the muscles pop like he’s desperate to scream something at us, to shout his rage and jealousy. But he doesn’t scream.
Instead, his evil smile spreads on his lips, covering what I’m sure is pain deep inside of him.
“So?” he addresses Nathan. “How was she?”
“Jake—” I attempt, taking another step toward him.
“After all this time. You had to wait patiently for me to throw her away to finally stick it in her, didn’t you?”
Tears prickle at my eyes, shame engulfing me. Anger follows. Why am I letting him slut-shame me? I know he’s been sleeping with Billie, I found Camila on her knees for him, and I’m still letting him make me feel like shit for sleeping with whomever I want.
“Bro, let’s move,” Luke says, putting a hand on his shoulder. “We can go to mine.”
“I don’t need to go anywhere, I’m fine.” Jake shrugs Luke’s hand off. “Hey, Nate, did she do that thing where she begs and cries for you to let her come? Or are you just too average?”
“Fuck you,” I spit at him. “Go be jealous somewhere else.”
“It’s my house, you go be a slut somewhere else,” he growls back.
“It’smyhouse,” Nathan corrects him calmly. “And I don’t want any of your little friends here.”
“Nate, you’re being a dick,” Rose intervenes. “Let us have friends over. It’s the least you can do.”
“Did I ask for your opinion?” Nathan looks at Jake before he talks to Rose again. “You and your three musketeers can go hang somewhere else. If you stay here, no guests.” As he says that, he takes a step forward and closes the office door behind us so no one can see what’s in there.
Gangs to run, secrets to hide. That’s Nathan White for you.
Rose is staring daggers at Nate, ignoring me completely. My stomach twists in guilt. I didn’t even get him to sign the lacrosse slip. No, all I did in there was get fucked on the desk without thinking of how I could help my friend.
The tension is too much, Chris’ gaze looks at every single one of us, as if weighing danger and what is worth fighting for.
“We’ll leave,” he finally says. “Jamie, I can give you a ride if you want.”
I swallow the anxiety stone that had stuck in my throat and nod at him.
“Yeah, sure. Thanks.”
Nathan slides a hand between my shoulder blades and leans toward me, dropping a kiss on the top of my head, but my eyes stay on Jake and his on mine.
“Unblock my number,” Nathan quietly orders in my ear, his low voice and hot breath ringing the aftermath of orgasms between my legs.
I nod and step away from him.
