“Miss me, princess?” He rubs his chin against mine, lighting me up inside.

I place my hands on his chest and let out a little sigh of relief. This is the Luke I know and love. He pulls back and searches my eyes.

“We’re improvising a little here, princess.” He tucks my hair behind my ear. “It’s like a game of chess. We each have to make our moves to win the game.”

“What did you talk to them about?” I cock a curious eyebrow.

He studies me carefully. Maybe for signs of jealousy, but I didn’t feel any. Not for her.

“We need to look solid. Like nothing they’ve done can knock us down. I went over and asked Sidney how she enjoyed last night.” He brushes his thumb over my jaw and then traces my lips. “I wanted to see how Zach would react. If he knew her plan or if it was a surprise for him. I already knew he knew, but I wondered if he’d give it away.”

“And did he?” I can see the cold calculation in his eyes, and it doesn’t frighten me like it used to. In fact, it settles something inside me, because Luke is on my side and he’s using that intellect to protect me.

Luke smirks. “He knew about her spending the night, but I doubt he knows she fucked my dad.”

My mouth opens and my mind explodes. “What?”

Luke shrugs. “She’s not his usual type, but I figured she wanted to get with a Foster last night, and my father was the only one left.”

I still can’t even picture that. A shudder goes through me. “Why?”

“Maybe she hoped it would get back at me in some way. Maybe she wants to be my new stepmother. I don’t know, and I don’t give a fuck.” He nods his head toward the classroom, but I hold still.

“How do you know?”

He and Caden left. They couldn’t have seen anything.

“My father’s not the only one with cameras in our house, princess.”

CHAPTER 24

The Barracks

Jack

Football practice takes longer than usual, and I’m anxious to get home and figure out what’s happening. My mom’s text has me worried. We know Harper is safest when she’s with us. Except our fathers might have been a part of her father’s death. Including mine.

He told Sean about the meeting. I love my dad. The guy I know would never do that, but fuck, I don’t know who he was back then. What he might have been forced to do to protect us or to get out fully.

It’s complicated, but I hope that I can trust him now.

Also I don’t know what Jennifer told my mom about us. Does my mom know about all of us dating Harper? We talked about telling our parents since it seems like most of them, if not all of them, already know.

Fuck, I’m just glad I’m going to get more time with our girl. Plus, there’s the added benefit that Dad will be happy that I’m home more since my girlfriend is there. But the question is whether this is the right move for Harper.

Will my place be any safer for her than Caden’s?

“Are you going to unlock your car?”

I look over the roof at Caden. He has his eyebrows arched like he’s been waiting a while.

“Yeah, fuck, I’m just all up in my head.” I unlock the doors, and we climb in.

“I know, man.” Caden leans back and closes his eyes. “I’m glad Harper’s mom is back and safe, because that shit weighed on her, but I’m going to miss sleeping with her.”

“I don’t know if my parents will let her sleep with me, but I can’t imagine her off in another part of my house alone.” Shaking my head, I drive toward Nico’s house.

“After the carnival tonight, we’ll go to my house to pack her a bag.” Caden runs a hand through his wet hair. “I haven’t told her about the dress yet.”
