PART TWO
THE TRUTH
Blake + Riley
Chapter Twenty
Blake
Rileyâs makeshift family was something to behold. They were all gorgeous, they were all really touchy-feely and into PDA. But they were kind, and their love for each other and Riley came through in their every interaction. It helped explain a lot about Riley, that was for sure. He was such a nice guy, always a gentleman and never afraid to let his emotions show. Blake was happy that she got to meet them, even if the circumstances were a little hard to swallow.
Before leaving on that road trip home with Riley, Blakeâs life was pretty simple. She went to class, she partied when she had the chance, and she hung out with her best friend. Typical college life, exactly as sheâd assumed it would be. Then, Jasper had entered the picture, sheâd had her first threesome, and now she was hiding in a mountain compound surrounded by gorgeous males who seemed to be willing to step in front of a bullet for the people they loved.
Blake leaned over, Hadleyâs hair tickling her chin as she whispered in Rileyâs ear. âWhy do they keep referring to their dicks as wolves?â
âUh.â He cleared his throat, shrugging one shoulder. âItâs, um, another one of those inside jokes I mentioned.â
She nodded, trying really hard to follow along with their conversations. All of this was so out of her depth. Blake knew crime was real, but the way Rileyâs family was talking, it almost seemed like something out of a movie.
âCan you guys please stop crying over me?â Riley sighed. âI chose to be alone. I was focusing on my workouts and my studies. Blake literally barged into my life, completely uninvited. As much as I hate sheâs in danger because of it, Iâm glad she did.â
Riley moved his hand, putting it behind her back on the ground and enveloping her in his scent. She always thought Riley smelled good, like guy good. After sheâd been with him at the cabin, though, his soap and pine tree scent seemed to trigger something inside her.
âDonât feel bad for your poor Riley, he has friends and Blake is a strong chick.â Jasper picked up Allison and handed her to her dad now that she was wearing a fresh diaper. âWeâll keep her safe until this is all over.â
Corey glance from Blake to Jasper. âOh, youâve met Blake before too?â
Blake felt Riley stiffen beside her. Jasper licked his lips, like he was trying to hide a smile but came off looking wicked instead. âWe road tripped home together the other day. I got to spend some time with her.â
âOh. Thatâs right, the cabin.â
Blake let out a little gasp, feeling panicked Rileyâs family knew about what went down between the three of them. She wasnât ashamed, and she didnât regret it. She sure as hell didnât want the people Riley looked to as parents to know though.
Riley leaned over, his lips against the shell of her ear sending unexpected goosebumps traveling across her skin.
