“They’re wrapping up,” Cara or Cora orwhoeverannounced, nudging Heidi’s side and nodding to the guys. “We all jockey for position on Diesel’s birthday. He chooses only the most outstanding. Tonight should bethe same.”
Rebel swiped at a rogue tear and lifted her chin. “He does have a fiancée,” she pointed out, indicating Jana’s spot behind her with a nod of her head.
“He also has a wife,” Yarrow retorted. “What’s your fucking point?”
“Ignore this child.” Heidi flicked her wrist in Rebel’s direction. “And that pathetic cunt on the blanket.”
Sipping her water, Rebel turned. Jana looked so mortified, but it didn’t surprise Rebel that she didn’t stand up for herself.
“I can’t wait to stick my pussy in his mouth,” Yarrow breathed.
Rebel wrinkled her nose; Jana’s face crumpled.
“I don’t want to play volleyball anymore,” Fia croaked, on the verge of tears herself.
“Me, either,” Tauriel said. “Meggie said don’t fuck with Rebel. I’m not about to get killed just to fuck Diesel.”
“They may not even want to play another fucking game, Heidi,” Fia said.
“They won’t pass up a chance to watch our tits bounce,” Heidi argued. “We’re playing in only thongs. We won’t only have Diesel’s attention, but every man here. Just one game, Fia. If you and Tauriel bail, we’ll be two short.”
Fia and Tauriel looked at Rebel.
“By all means, play,” she said, misery hoarsening her voice. “I’m not saying a word. I’ll even suggest the best of three. Threematches, same players.” She needed to buy time. Thinking they could get over on her, outshine her, was a fucking mistake. But adding disrespect to Jana after how they’d devastated Rebel was fucking war. “Scoring among yourselves. Ask Grant or Bishop to help you. Whoever they give the highest score as the MVP over the three sets wins top honors.”
“That’s actually a good idea,” Yarrow said. “Who would’ve thought you’d think of anything other than shopping and Diesel’s cock?”
Fia and Tauriel shifted. Those other heifers cackled.
Heidi got to her feet. “Come on, ladies.”
Rebel was her mother’s daughter andnomotherfucker would keep her down.
Holding her hand out, she let the air sweep over her skin. Outdoor lighting brightened the darkness and beamed on them from all angles and helped to warm the chilly evening. Fia, Tauriel, Heidi, Yarrow and the rest of them acted as if they were on a tropical island.
Heidi thrust her tits out and curled her lip at Jana. “Once he sees me, he’ll forget you and your pussy exists.”
Jana sobbed softly, her reaction adding to Heidi’s triumph as they marched away, except Tauriel and Fia.
“Rebel,” Fia started.
“Go,” Rebel drawled. “You don’t want to lose face with them.”
She and Tauriel looked at each other and their shoulders slumped.
“Jana—” Tauriel started.
“Diesel loves me,” Jana said miserably.
That motherfucker lovedno one, but it wasn’t Rebel’s place to say that. She could only defend her and hope she realized she needed to defend herself.
“We’re getting married, so it doesn’t matter what else he does.”
“Go,” Rebel said to Fia and Tauriel again before Jana revealed even more of what a trainwreck her relationship was. “I promise when Daddy kills Heidi, I’ll defend you.”
Fia squeaked.
“Gotcha!” Rebel said with a grin. “Just a little friendly teasing.”
