Austin says defensively.
“What is it, Kellan? You wanna fuck her too?” he asks, and she gasps. “You mad Cole found her first? Fuck, man, go stick your dick somewhere else. She’s not worth it.”
Austin shoots to her feet, eyes narrowed on Deke, but I shove her shoulder, making her sit back down. “Cole—”
“Is that the problem, Kellan?” I ask, interrupting her and taking a step toward him. His brown eyes meet mine. “You want her? Want me to share her with you? All you gotta do is ask. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve passed a girl around.”
I know Celeste isn’t the only bitch he’s fucking at the moment. Just last week, he hooked up with Melanie, a girl on the volleyball team. Not like he has a reason to be faithful to Celeste. The bitch is married, after all.
His eyes go to Austin, and I hate how he looks over her like she is a piece of meat for him to eat. That would be the icing on the cake for him. To fuck Bruce’s wife and daughter. And if he did sleep with her, that would piss off Celeste, and she would send her back without a second thought. I saw her eyes when she spoke of Kellan. She loves him. His eyes meet mine again.
I turn to Austin and grab her hand. I yank her up from the couch and slide my arm around her waist, pinning her back to my front. She tries to fight me, but I hold her in place. Her breath picks up in fear. “Cole, what are you …?”
“Did you listen to the video?” I ask him, cutting her off.
“What video?” she asks, and her voice shakes.
I bring my free hand up and wrap it around her throat and tilt her head back. It makes her arch her back, pushing her chest out. She whimpers, and her hands come up and grip my arm as if that’s going to stop me. Her pulse races, and she swallows nervously. His eyes go to her tits.
“Did you hear her scream my name inside that bathroom? Did you listen to her beg me for more?”
Her body trembles against mine.
“Everyone has heard that video,” he snaps.
“I haven’t,” Deke chimes in.
Kellan looks at him and snorts. “You were fucking there. You were the one who recorded it.”
He shrugs. “Doesn’t mean I listened.”
Kellan takes a step back, running a hand through his hair. “This is ridiculous,” he says frustrated. Then his eyes meet mine. “I don’t want your whore, Cole. I don’t want her anywhere around me, let alone inside her pants. And I’m sure as hell not gonna let you push me out of the group because I don’t like your little fuck-toy of the month.” He grabs his jacket off the couch, turns around, and storms out the door.
I let go of Austin, and she takes three steps away from me, sucking in a deep breath. I turn to the guys, putting my back to her. “We need to vote his ass out.”
Shane sighs heavily. “He’s just going through a hard time.”
“Bullshit!” Deke snaps. “He’s always caused problems for us.”
“Cole?” I hear Austin’s voice behind me, but I ignore her. I’m busy at the moment.
Shane looks at Deke. “I can see where he’s coming from. I’m still skeptical if she should even be here.”
“She’s not going anywhere,” I growl.
“Cole?” she snaps. I still ignore her.
Bennett raises his hands. “This will blow over. Just let Kellan cool off.”
“He’s been this way for months now. He was like this before Austin ever came into the picture. He didn’t even want to be involved with Jeff, and that makes me question his loyalty to the group,” Deke growls.
“COLE!” she yells.
“He was just worried that we would get caught,” Shane tells Deke.
I snort. “He just didn’t wanna get his hands dirty.” I hear the faint sound of a door opening and closing behind us.
“Cole?” Deke says.
“What?” I bark.
He looks over my shoulder. “Austin just left.”
AUSTIN
As I come up to his car, I hear someone exiting the barn behind me. I know it’s him. “Take me home!” I order, not even bothering to turn around and face him before I fall into the passenger seat and slam the door shut.
My body physically shakes with rage for what Cole just did.
He gets in and looks over at me, but I keep my eyes straight ahead. My hands ball into fists in my lap, and my heart pounds in my chest.
He offered
