“It’s not like I had a choice in thisarrangement.” I feel a little braverwith Nico here. Of course, that won’t stop Luke from punishing me. But I can’t say I haven’t liked some of his punishments.
“You had a choice, kitten.” Eli leans back on the couch, but his dark eyes track me.
A sharp laugh bursts out of me, and I feel the glares of the horsemen. Not Nico though—he seems confused.
“The horsemen made it a mission to leave no virgin behind, with a few exceptions.” I settle back into my chair and look only at Nico. “Other than when we were freshmen, they leave the freshmen alone. They also don’t go after girls with boyfriends. And of course, there is a class ofunfuckables.”
Nico’s gaze narrows on me as I continue, but fuck it, he needs to know the whole truth of who these guys—who apparently are his friends—really are.
“However, they’ve worked on our class, and it’s a point of pride to have cleared the senior class of their virginity, except for one.” Heat licks my cheeks. “So first day of school, as the lone senior virgin remaining, the horsemen claimed me. Of course, I’ve always hidden from them and avoided them since early freshman year, because they’re bullies, and everyone knows to get in their way is to have hell rain down on you.”
Someone scoffs but they don’t deny it. They are who they are.
“So when I decided I didn’t want to beclaimed, I hid from them. Of course, when they found me, they spanked me in front of the entire cafeteria.”
Nico’s eyes widen, but there’s also a flash of heat in his dark eyes. Interesting.
“Keep telling your story, princess. Understand you’ll be punished for it.” Luke draws my gaze as he rubs his hands together.
My panties dampen in response. Fucker.
I turn back to Nico. “The next morning, Caden and Jack showed up to take me to school and forced me to change my shirt in front of them. At lunch, in the cafeteria again—which I hate—they told me they own me, and I demanded a choice. Not my finest hour, but at least I tried.”
“What choice?” Nico leans forward with his forearms on his knees.
“I asked them to let me find a boyfriend for the year and if I couldn’t, I’d submit to their ownership.” I swallow and look down. “Ofcourse, Luke only gave me five minutes to find anyone in the cafeteria to be my boyfriend. So I got up on the table and humiliated myself a second time to ask anyone to step forward and be my boyfriend.”
Nico nods thoughtfully. “And no one did.”
I smile warily. “Nope. It didn’t help my case that the horsemen were mean mugging everyone in the cafeteria.” I take a deep breath. “So no boyfriend, and now I’m owned by the horsemen for the entire year. They aren’t allowed to touch or fuck any other girl, but I have to give them my virginity, so it’s my choice when I give it up.”
“Come on, little nympho. We all know you’ll give it up to us.” Caden smiles, but it’s not a friendly smile. It sends a jolt through me. “Harper hadn’t even kissed a guy before last Wednesday, and we had her naked in a closet with our hands all over that fantastic body this morning. She came so hard I’m surprised she didn’t pass out.”
Nico’s lips tighten, and my whole face burns. Yeah, I wasn’t going to give him that information. This is pretty fucked up as it is.
CHAPTER 2
A Tactical Liaison
Harper
Nico’s gaze leaves me and goes to each of the horsemen. “So what? You’re going to take turns with her?”
I grow hot all over, mostly from embarrassment, but partly because the thought turns me on.
“Eventually.” Luke spreads his arms over the back of the couch and crosses his foot over his knee. His cool gaze locks on me, making me want to squirm. “But as we take her firsts, we all want to be there. So far, we’ve kissed her all over.”
Heat flows through me at the reminder of his tongue against my clit. Hot, firm, and so fucking wicked.
“And touched her all over.”
My core aches and tightens.
“She hasn’t made it past second base with us. Yet.”
My gaze flies to Luke’s. His earlier comment to Eli about not damaging my mouth rings through my head. My gaze drops to his erection and I clench my thighs together.
“Though last night when we all shared an orgasm over webcam, she gave us an idea of what else she could do with that mouth.”
