“If you have my car towed, I’ll—I’ll…I’ll tell my dad.” I sound like I’m fifteen again.
“Go ahead. He won’t care.” Gray snorts and opens the door so Remy can toss me into the backseat. I bump my elbow again, but he already stepped out of the way so Gray can climb in after me.
The door behind me opens, and Felix gets in on my other side, trapping me between them. I lean toward the front seat. “Wait, you’re not really going to have my car towed, are you?”
“Hell yes I am. Sit back and buckle up.” Remy hits the gas, and I slam back into the seat.
“Goddamn it, Remy,” I snarl, but it just makes him laugh. I’m too pissed off to really pay attention to where they are taking me. It’s not like I’m really in any danger—well, for more bodily harm, that is. My heart is another matter.
I can think of one part of me that would like to be badly battered though—my cobwebbed pussy. She would do Kegels for two days straight if it meant she would get some real peen, and not just an eight-inch girthy boy dildo I bought on a whim because it reminded me of Felix.
Sitting next to Grayson and Felix isn’t helping matters. They smell amazing, and I can feel the heat coming from their bodies, tempting me to get even closer.
Remy keeps looking in the rearview mirror, but I’m pretending to ignore him. It’s hard to do when I want to squirm. The car jerks to a stop, and Felix does the old boob grab to make sure I don’t eat the center console in the front seat, but he doesn’t let go. I look over at him, glance down at his hand, then back at his face again.
He gives a gentle little squeeze, and I’m sure he can feel my nipple under his palm. I finally knock his hand away, but the high beams are on for the world to see. Remy twists in his seat and gives my chest a hard look. “I guess some things never change.” His smile is vicious.
“Let me out of this car,” I demand, expecting a fight, but Grayson opens his door and glides out smoothly, leaving it open. Just as I’m about to get out, he slams it in my face.
I wilt. Grayson has never been cruel, and that was downright mean. I reach for the handle, but not before I notice Remy watching me. He’s not smiling anymore either.
Tentatively, I step out and look around. We’re in the middle of a clearing with only one monstrous house to be seen. It’s modern and classic at the same time. I know it’s Felix’s design the moment I see it.
I wish it wasn’t dark so I could really take in the beauty, but even the moon has tucked itself away for the night. My next thought is the comforting wave of magic that envelops me. I lower my natural shields. I’m almost as familiar with these signatures as I am my own. Feeling them brush against my fingers and kiss my skin is like the big welcoming hug the guys never gave me.
My eyes start to water, but I pretend to rub my hands over my face so no one knows how emotional I am right now. Stupid feelings.
“We’re seven miles from town. No one will pick you up, and those don’t look like walking shoes,” Remy comments, looking at my feet. Little does he know, I have learned to walk in my little kitten heels over the years, and I’m happy to report I haven’t even fallen in two solid weeks.
“Give me my bags.” I drop my voice low to sound as menacing as him.
“Come and take them.” Remy folds his arms over his chest. My bags are at his feet, but I know there is no way I’m going to get them if he doesn’t want me to.
“Meh, meh, meh, meh.” I mock his words and stance like the child he’s behaving as. Felix snorts and grabs my laptop bag off the ground as he walks toward the house. That gets me moving. Felix could crack the MBI’s encryption code in a matter of seconds if I leave him alone with my laptop. Not only could that get me fired, but he could also hack my email and social accounts.
“Wait, Felix!” He doesn’t even bother looking back at me, so I jog after him to keep up. I twist my ankle at one point, but I don’t let that stop me from trying to catch him.
The door unlocks the moment Felix steps on the welcome mat. Well, what it actually says is, “Fuck off. You don’t need to be here,” which is not so welcoming after all, but the thought is there.
“Felix, please, may I have that back?” I try being civil, since my playground tactics aren’t working. We’re all adults and can handle this like adults.
Felix turns around, and the light catches his glasses, showing off his pretty eyes, but they are narrowed on me now. “Got something on here you don’t want me to find, buttercup?” His lips press into a line as soon as the old endearment is out of his mouth. I don’t think he said that on purpose.
I ignore it so he won’t get even madder at me. “It’s for work. It has confidential documents, and I could get in a lot of trouble if anyone found out you have it.” Admitting the truth is easy, now I just have to hope he won’t use it against me.
Gray moves to stand next to Felix, so close, their shoulders touch. I lick my lips. Damn them. They know me better than I know them anymore. This is a calculated play. They are a united front. I was always at a disadvantage when they ganged up on me. I slap my hand over my eyes because now I’m picturing a gangbang.Yes, please. It’s truly been ages. How is it fair that my sexual peak was before I was twenty, and now I’m like an eighty-year-old? Betty White gets more action in a day than I’ve had in years.
I should have left my bags and ran for it, but I know they would have stopped me anyway. I take a super deep breath, drop my hand, and shake out my fingers. “Okay, tell me what you want from me so we can get this over with,” I concede. I never stood a chance against them anyway.
Chapter 5
If wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets.
“You would give in so easily?” Felix asks.
“Yeah, just so she could walk away again.” Grayson spins away from Felix and heads deeper into the house. Remy and Felix follow. I’m left standing in the foyer, looking around and wondering what the hell I’m supposed to do next. Here I thought my magic being on the fritz was my biggest concern tonight. I hate being wrong.
When I realize they aren’t coming back, I slowly follow after them. It quickly dawns on me that was a mistake. I have no idea where they are or how to find them without searching this huge house from top to bottom. As fun as snooping sounds, I don’t have time for it right now. I have too many things I need to deal with.
