ALEXIS

THAT LITTLE ENCOUNTER WITH Lyla had me all on edge. The b.j. twins were friends? If that’s what having girlfriends was about, I was happy I didn’t really have any. Thank you very much. Imagining the two of them swapping stories about Colton was making me sick to my stomach.

“Grab me another drink, Finn?” I asked when he walked off to replenish his beer.

A crowd had assembled in the open area behind our table, turning it into a dance floor, and that’s where we’d been for the past couple of hours.

“Allie, I think maybe you should slow down,” Colt suggested, pulling me into his chest. “You’re going to make yourself sick.”

Nope. No way. I was not going to survive this night without lots of liquor. “You’re so sweet,” I slurred, running my hands over his shoulders. “I’m fine, Colt, really,” I insisted, trying to look very, very sober.

Colton rolled his eyes and huffed in frustration. God, he was so cute. “Will you at least eat something?” he begged.

I always did love the way he looked out for me. “Okay,” I agreed. “Feed me.”

A slow smile moved across his face. “All right. I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”

I must’ve been drunker than I thought because it seemed like almost no time had passed before I felt Colton grinding his body against mine. And did he ever come back recharged. The way he was moving felt almost indecent, but I was too turned on to care.

“Goddamnit, Alexis,” Blex growled, stalking off.

What the hell? I followed his movement with my eyes and could have sworn I saw Colton tear through the back door into the house. But, how could he, if he was—

“We move well together,” Stephan said, spinning me in his arms.

My heart started to beat like a bass drum. Loud. Hard.

The air left my lungs. Oh, Colton.

“Something wrong?” That no good motherfucker.

I shoved at Stephan’s chest as tears poured down my face. “Why? Why would you do that?” My hands were on my chest. I felt like everyone was watching me. Laughing at me. Like they were all in cahoots with the universe to spoil any chance I had of finding happiness.

“Come on, Lexi,” Finn said, shielding me in his arms. “You’ll get yours later, asshole,” he shot at Stephan before guiding me around the pool, through the house, and into the back seat of Colton’s car.

Colton’s anguished eyes met mine in the rearview, revealing his every emotion, and it cut me like a knife. I mouthed the words “I’m sorry,” but he just turned away, twisted the key into the ignition, and headed for home.

Finn kept whispering that it was okay. That everything would be okay, but how could it? The car was deathly quiet, apart from the sound of my cries and the occasional pounding of Colton’s fist into the steering wheel.

When we arrived at the house, he had barely taken the time to throw the car into park before he was slamming the driver side door and storming off into the house.
