Page 65 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

She sits back and looks me over. “You drank all of the wine.”

“I did.” I’m curious if she’ll figure it out. If she’ll know who betrayed her.

“I wasn’t sure on the dosing, so I put extra in. You should be rolling by now.” Her brow furrows.

“Maybe the drugs just work different on me. What was the plan, Sid?”

Her eyes soften at the nickname. “I was hoping to get fucked. Not that Zach isn’t great. He just prefers to spike my drink a little too much. I just wake up sore, but I don’t know if I’ve come or not.”

She shrugs like it doesn’t matter. This girl clawed her way to the top of the school.

“Don’t you have more self-esteem than that?” I shake my head and get off the bed on the other side. “This should be beneath you.”

She stands with her hands on her hips, still studying me.

“Why the fuck do you want someone who doesn’t want you?” I narrow my eyes on her. “There’s no reason for you to want me.”

“Because you’re it, Luke.” She gestures to me. “You’re my end game. Fuck, it’s all my mom talks about. Even your father has mentioned it over and over again. How I’m the perfect fit for Luke Foster. You get to take over the company, and I get to take over the board position at the hospital. We continue to rule this city. Together.”

“And if I don’t want that?”

She steps back at my glare. “Why wouldn’t you? They’re offering us everything on a silver platter. Giving us a future. We work well together. We’ve been planned since fucking birth. You don’t get to just walk away and give what I deserve to some no name bitch because she’s a little freak.”

“A freak?” I raise an eyebrow, but don’t let her see my rising anger. No one pushed me in Sidney’s direction, but did she make all this happen?

Sidney’s laugh is callous. “She’s fucking five guys at once. Of course, she’s a little freak. I don’t get why you want her. You never liked to share. Never wanted to take a girl with another horseman.”

“They weren’t Harper.” I wait for her retort.

“Again. She’s not at all like me. I’m smart and popular and fuckable.” Sidney steps in my direction. “Guys beg to sleep with me. Why would anyone want her when they can have me?”

“Is that really the problem, Sid?” I step forward and glare down at her. “You want what you can’t have?”

“I’ve had you so many times, Luke Foster.” She glares right back. “Your father wants us to be together.”

“I fucked you, Sid. You were fucking convenient and yeah, you got good at it. At least technique-wise.” I smirk. “But what you don’t have is a caring bone in your body about me. You don’t really give a shit who I am as long as I’m William Foster’s son. The heir apparent to his kingdom and wealth.”

Her mouth opens and closes into a tight line.

“And you could be a simpering little bitch, and my father would have wanted you for your family’s money. All you are to him is a payday waiting to happen.” I shake my head and give her a smile. “A payday that will never happen.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” She crosses her arms. “You’re going to want me back. And when you do, I’ll make you beg for it.”

“I’m never going to want you.” I release my breath. “You want to know the real reason I love Harper Davidson?”

Her eyes widen and she gasps. We’ve never discussed love before. Sure, we fucked and maybe for a hot moment I thought we might be more at some point, but she’s never been it for me.

“I love her because when I close my eyes at night, she’s on my mind. When I wake in the morning, she’s haunted my dreams and is my first thought.” I laugh slightly and flick my gaze at the camera, knowing Harper is watching this. “I love her because when I said she and I should fuck to show you why you aren’t the one, she said no. Because what’s between her and me is between us and no one else.”

“Except your four friends who also bang her.” Sidney rolls her eyes.

“You’ve got to open your eyes. We all love her. We’d do anything for her, because she’d do anything for us. Harper is everything you’re not. She’s caring, loving, and curious. There’s a million reasons why I could love her, but the simple reason is because she’s everything to me. Instead of trying to drive a wedge between us, she loves Nico, Eli, Caden, Jack, and me equally. And when she looks at me, she sees me. Not the fucked-up dreams of my father. You’re looking for a pay day, but I just want to spend the rest of my life showing Harper how much I love her.

“I love her because she understands me, and when I look at her I know exactly who she is. She loves me.”

Sidney looks apoplectic, like she can’t think of anything to say to that. What can she say? Love was never part of who we were, and I doubt she knows how to love.

I step back from her. “There’s no room for you here, Sid. I have no place in my world for you. This is the beginning of your end.”
