Page 69 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

I try to focus on my guys, but Zach walks by with his arm around Sidney’s shoulders. They both look our way as they pass. Zach throws a kissy face my way and then tugs Sidney closer to whisper in her ear.

She laughs and looks at me. Her green eyes glow with cold malice.

Caden turns me his way and kisses me gently, replacing the cold with his warmth. “We’ve got you.”

I release my breath, and when I look all I can see is their backs. Fuck. I hope we’ve got this.

CHAPTER 22

Sacrificing the Queen

Harper

The school day flies, but I wish for once it would drag and hold off the inevitable. When I get to art, I ignore my table and walk over to Penny.

“How are you doing?”

She smiles, even though it looks like she has one hell of a hangover. “Better than I thought I’d feel. I can’t imagine taking that for fun.”

I nod. That’s exactly what Sidney is doing. But then again, so did Izzy for her boyfriend, Zach’s brother. My guys have fucked me in my sleep, but I usually wake up during. I don’t know how I’d feel about not remembering their touches in the morning. Waking up sore and having no idea what my guys did to me?

I trust my guys, but not someone like Zach.

“I’m okay, though.” Penny smiles, bringing me back to the conversation.

“Thank you.” I need to say it. She could have let Luke drink it and we never would have known she knew his drink was roofied.

She looks down at her hands before lifting her eyes to mine. “I’ve done things I’m not proud of in the past. Who hasn’t? But I couldn’t let Luke get drugged or let Sidney win. I kind of hoped he’d spill it like he did his water.”

“I owe you one.” When I look over my shoulder, Nico is at the door.

She touches my hand. “No, you don’t. I did what was right for my family.”

My insides warm, and I nod before heading over to take Nico’s backpack from Jack. Jack smiles before heading off to his class. Nico walks to his table with the crutches. While he sits, I set his backpack on the table before taking his crutches to lean against the wall. Grabbing a low stool, I drag it over and help him elevate his leg.

I squat down beside him and study his dark eyes for any sign of pain or fatigue. “How are you doing?”

He smirks and touches my jaw. “Better now.”

“Good.” I hold his hand against my face before standing and glancing toward my table with Tanner. He sits there watching me with a calculated look that makes chills course through my blood.

I really don’t like him, but I go to my seat and sit as far away from him as possible. He’s been quiet, and I’m afraid that, like everything else, that’s going to end today. Ms. Sullivan walks into the room and closes the door.

Angela Harris laughs and touches Nico’s arm. Yeah, that’s what my vanishing act cost. Nico having to put up with Angela until she names her favor. Even knowing he’s mine, it turns my stomach a little.

“We’re working on group projects today,” Ms. Sullivan announces. “If anyone needs assistance, just raise your hand and I’ll be over.”

She sits down behind her desk, and the room fills with the low rumble of people talking.

“You know what I love about slutty girls?” Tanner’s words make me stiffen.

I’m not acknowledging that. Nope, I don’t even care. I get out the notes for the project and get busy.

He leans in close to me. “They love all kinds of fucking. I bet Angela there would help lighten your load.”

I draw in a deep breath and release it. Nope.

“She’s a little freak. Pulled me into a closet and gave me an awesome blow job before class. She’s real fucking grateful to have a date to Homecoming. Have you sucked dick yet today, Harper?”
