Chapter 7
Maddox
I would laugh at the little squeak Lexi lets out at my growl if I werenât so damned worried about her driving into this storm. Her promise to call me if she gets stuck doesnât ease the fiery pit in my stomach in the least. If Iâd known she was planning to travel to Cherokee Forest, I would have gone to her dorm and driven her there in my truck instead of following the team to TGâs.
Lexi may insist that weâre just friends, but I know better. She knows better. You donât share a kiss like that with someone whoâs just a friend. Not that I have much experience in the kissing department since the last girl I kissed cost me my best friend.
Okay. Fine. Ian didnât bail on our friendship because I kissed his stepsister. It was because I fucked her and knocked her up. But that only happened because weâd been kissing for years. We were friends. We were comfortable with each other. It made sense at the time to lose our virginity together.
Losing my virginityâand Ian's friendship as a resultâsent me into my playboy era. An eighteen-year-old boy isnât about to give up sex once heâs gotten a taste, but luckily you donât have to kiss a girl to get off.
And speak of the devilâ¦I look toward the back booth where Jenny and her friends always sit and of course, sheâs right in the middle of the party. I stalk my way over, demand to know where Aiden is, and berate Jenny for being here while heâs safe at home with her parents. I donât usually call her out on her partying habits as long as Aiden is safe. But Iâm on edge and sheâs an easy target for my frustration.
âEnough!â The yell comes from the big guy sitting in the booth with a thick redhead. She kind of reminds me of Lexi with her curvy frame and pale skin, but despite her red hair, she doesnât have an ounce of Lexiâs fire. She looks like sheâs about to have a panic attack where she sits.
Jenny excuses herself from the table and pulls me toward the bar. âWhat the hell, Maddox?â
I reach up and pull the beanie off my head to run my hand over my buzzed hair. âShit. Iâm sorry, Jenny. That was out of line.â
She cocks her hip. âDamn straight. Since when do you care where I am or what Iâm doing?â
I laugh without any of my usual humor. âI donât. As long as Aiden is okay, party to your heartâs content. Iâve got other things to worry about.â
Jenny grins. âSince when do you worry about anything other than Aidâ¦â
My phone rings, cutting her off and I pull it out to see that itâs Lexi. Thereâs no way sheâs already made it to her parentsâ house. Somethingâs wrong, I think as I answer the call.
âStuck already?â I try to keep my normal cheery tone, but it drops instantly when I hear a sniffle on the other end of the line.
