Page 133 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

Zach has nowhere to go once he hits the showers. He stops like he’s making a decision, but I don’t. I take him down to the ground. All the rage and anger that’s been bubbling inside me rips out. He wanted to take away what’s mine.

We struggle on the ground for a second.

He shoves up and pushes me off his back. When I stand, his eyes meet mine as he straightens. He rubs the back of his hand across his lips, but he’s not injured.

He chuckles. “What? Don’t like to share?”

He’s fucking happy this happened. Like he wanted to get caught.

That throws me off guard. Part of me holds back even though I want to pummel this asshole. The power is out. There are no school cameras in the shower room. I could take him out right here and now.

But something inside me knows Harper is safe for now, and that gives me a moment to assess this situation. If he’d touched her, he’d be dead. I wouldn’t care about the consequences. She’s mine.

But he’s cornered. Alone. He has nowhere left to go. No way to escape except through me. He had to know that coming back here. He’s still fucking cocky. Zach is a lot of things, but stupid isn’t one of them.

My eyes narrow. “What’s the plan, Zach?”

He laughs. “Well, I was going to let my friends have a go at your girl, but I was worried she’d be into that.”

Rage boils within me. But they’re just words. He’s fucking with me. Why? What’s his plan? He’s not being aggressive here. Not searching for a way out. He’s waiting for something.

I clench my fists. “What’s wrong? Sidney not enough for you?”

Zach chuckles and brushes his hands on his black pants. He was the only one with his mask off. He wanted Harper to know it was him, to frighten her. Even though she’d figure out it was him, he wanted to make sure.

“Sidney wasn’t enough for you. Was she?” Zach smirks like he has all the time in the world. It puts me on edge. What did I miss? “What is it about Harper Davidson? Is it that spark of innocence? Or that little hint of defiance? I bet she gives in real sweet when you fuck her. Probably cries when you fuck her holes and begs you to stop.”

Fuck this guy. Is he all talk?

“What are you really after?” I spit out and look around. Is this a trap? Are they trying to trick me into doing something? He must have known we’d come after him. He had to know we’d get in.

Maybe too late.

Fuck. I can’t think about that or I’ll do something I regret.

The administration might be able to look the other way usually, but not if I beat Zach Gray to a pulp on school property, which is what I want to do. I want him to feel the pain he’s causing my girl. To make it impossible for him to go through with his plan.

But he’s not attacking me here. He’s not defending himself.

I lift my helmet off and narrow my eyes at him. What does he want? Caden comes in and stands next to me. Silent, but his anger radiates off him in waves.

“I figured you wouldn’t do anything without a buddy.” Zach smiles at us like he’s lost his fucking mind and rubs a hand over his hair. “Is that what it takes to get her off? All of you fucking her at the same time? Can she even come with just one of you?”

Caden doesn’t move forward, but he’s primed. He wants to beat this asshole. So do I, but something keeps me immobile. It’s too easy.

Zach shakes his head and glares at me. His mask that he wears around us is down and I see the hate in his eyes. “You don’t even know why I’m coming after your girl, do you?”

Caden growls low in his throat.

“Does it matter?” I ask. Is that what he wants? For us to know how we wronged him? We’ve had this conversation. As far as any of us know we’ve done nothing to Zach or anyone he might care about. Not even his older brother.

He chuckles. Footsteps approach from behind us. “Think about it, Death. One of you or all of you did something that made me come after your weakness. Surely your list of sins isn’t so long that you can’t figure it out.”

“What’s going on in here?” a voice barks out.

I step back and face my coach. A police officer stands beside him.

“This is the guy who caused the blackout.” I move out of the way as the police officer comes forward and pats Zach down. “He was trying to attack some of the girls. We stopped him and his friends from getting into the room where the girls were hiding.”
