Prudence

Asher transforms before my very eyes, going from an annoyingly sexy asshole pushing his luck to a stone cold robot. There’s not even a hint of emotion on his face as he pulls on sweat pants and finger-combs his hair into a somewhat neat style. He nods at Creed, who moves out of the doorway, and then Asher is gone, apparently to see his father.

I can only assume that whatever brought Asher’s dad here isn’t good. Otherwise, why show up at almost two in the morning? What the hell couldn’t wait until sunrise?

As I struggle with what to do, how to hold myself and not feel so uncomfortable, Creed is silent. I force myself to stop inspecting a torn cuticle and meet his gaze. His amber eyes are locked on me, and like Asher, there’s no emotion to be found on his face. It makes me feel worse. I think I’d prefer it if he were furious with me.

Creed raises his brows, his black hair messy and somehow deliciously sexy. I want to run my fingers through it, tug on the raven strands until he groans for me, but I don’t feel like I have the right. Not after what just happened. Christ, Prudence. Why did you ever step foot into Asher’s room tonight? Flexing my fingers around the handle of the knife I’m holding onto like a lifeline, I clear my throat and then mumble, “Please say something.”

Creed cocks his head, chewing on the inside of his cheek as he studies me. “Like what?” he eventually asks.

I wince, fighting hard not to cry. I don’t know when I became the kind of girl who cries so damn often over guys, but here the fuck I am and my emotions are yet again about to get the better of me. I shrug one shoulder, because it’s all I can manage. “Anything. Scream at me, if that’s what you need to do.”

“I’m not going to yell, Prudence,” Creed assures me with a soft smile, brushing his hand through his tousled hair. “Do you want to fuck him?”

“I want you,” I say quickly. I stand from Asher’s bed, still holding the knife in front of my chest like I can use it as a shield to protect me from any cutting words Creed might throw. “I want you, Creed,“ I repeat once I’ve stopped right before him.

His gaze sweeps over my face. “And Asher?” he asks calmly.

The first word that comes to mind is no. Of course I don’t want Asher… But is that really true? Gun to my head, if I had to shout out an honest answer or die — well, I might choose death over saying this aloud — I would say that Asher and I are locked in some kind of toxic cycle that I’m determined to see the end of. If that means fucking out our volatile feelings for each other and seeing if we can stand on the other side of that in one piece, then I may want to do just that.
