CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Daisy

It was kind of funny how grumpy Mr. Marks got when Lance bounded out. I mean, Mr. Marks is a handsome man, all tall, dark and gorgeous but Lance is attractive too, just in a completely different way. Lance is blonde and thin with some acne on his chin and neck but it’s okay, it’s not super-gross or anything.

But Tristan was pissed, I could tell.

“Get into the car,” he barked, and I hopped into the passenger seat, taking care to pull my legs in discreetly, tucking my skirt around my thighs. Because some masculine power struggle was already starting between Tristan and Lance and instead of hopping to, Lance slowly sauntered around the Maserati, dragging his eyes over the car’s curves sensuously, eating her up.

“Hmm, 2015 model, S-Class with all the hook-ups,” he gaggled. “What’d she cost you? 200K? 300K?”

I gasped. Isn’t it rude to talk about money, to ask how much other peoples’ stuff cost?

But Lance was even bolder than I thought.

“You know there’s the C-Class too,” he smirked. “Top of the line, why didn’t you go for that one?”

And my mouth hung open. Had he just implied that my guardian couldn’t afford the top of the line model? That Tristan was slumming it for some reason?

But the big man didn’t look bothered. Instead, he surveyed the car slowly as well.

“I thought about the C-class,” he said, “but there’ve been rumors of engine fires and didn’t want to get caught up in that shit,” he rumbled. “Not with Daisy potentially taking this to school with her.”

And I gasped again. He’d been planning on giving me the Maserati? I couldn’t. It was too much.

“No,” I said shakily. “That’s too generous, I can’t take it with me, the Accord is just fine.”

Because we had a Honda Accord at home, a blue one with not too many miles, it was perfect for the student life.

But Tristan ignored me.

“Yeah, I want Daisy to be safe,” he said smoothly, looking at Lance. “She’s amazing, right? I’ve got to take care of my best asset.”

And I gaped again. If I was reading this right, then Mr. Marks was marking off his territory in front of another male, not-so-subtly telling Lance to stay the fuck away from me.

And the teenage boy got it.

“Absolutely, a Maserati would be amazing in the hills around here, Daisy’s a lucky girl,” he said shooting me a glance. Did he suspect? Did he suspect that I was a lot more than Tristan’s ward?

But the adolescent folded himself into the backseat then and said, “Cool, thanks Mr. Marks, let’s drive up to the front gates of the school, they’ve erected a new statue there that I think you guys would get a kick out of.”

And it wasn’t bad after that. We parked the car and strolled around the grounds. Hudson really is gorgeous, all ivy-covered stone buildings and gothic spirals set against sprawling greens, paved walkways, the chatter of students as they meandered to class. Yes, I could see myself here,
