Queen of Quarantine (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep #4) - Caroline Peckham Page 0,241

It was crazy how much my guys still affected me on a daily basis. I didn’t think I was ever going to stop feeling this insane, loved up way about them.

“I’ll eat your pussy for three hours straight if you get in the car with me!” Blake shouted at the top of his lungs and the girls across the street gasped, staring over at me with parted lips and jealous glares.

I glanced back at Blake, stifling a laugh then shrugged casually and jogged to get in the car, slipping into the passenger seat. He dropped his hand between my thighs, tugging one leg open as he encouraged me toward him and I kissed him greedily, tasting all the light in the world on his tongue.

“Fuck you,” I breathed against his mouth and he chuckled darkly.

“Yes please,” he growled, pulling on my leg like he wanted me to get into his lap.

“You’re an animal.” I sat back in my seat and clipped my belt in place. “And I’m late for work. There’s far too many dicks trying to stop me from getting there this morning, it’s like a cock obstacle course.”

Blake barked a laugh, jamming his finger on the dashboard and Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay started playing as he took off down the road, leaving the gawping girls in his dust.

It was only a five minute drive to the harbour and as Blake drove like he owned the roads, we actually made it with one minute to spare as he parked up outside the boxing studio that overlooked the sea. It was a perfect spring day, the air cool but the sun gleaming down on the boats in the harbour and the water perfectly calm.

Blake walked me inside and we headed upstairs to the studio where my first class was gathering for their self-defence lesson. It was mostly kids and women, but a couple of guys attended too with their wives. I wasn’t totally convinced that my guys hadn’t warned every frat boy at Yale to keep fifty feet away from me at all times unless I was with one of them, but none of them would confirm it. They sure as shit didn’t deny it though.

Blake drew me in for a heart-pounding kiss goodbye and I lingered in his hold for ten seconds I didn’t have to spare, dizzy as I finally pulled away.

“Can I stay to watch?” he asked but I shooed him back toward the stairs.

“No, go home and relax. Oh and check out Kyan’s new addition to Saint’s music room,” I added with a smirk and Blake grinned, waving as he walked back down the stairs. My gaze stayed on his broad shoulders for a moment. Since he’d joined the football team at Yale, I swear he’d put on another ten pounds of muscle. He was the quarterback, of course. That was probably why cheerleaders kept sniffing around our house like vermin. I found one lurking in the backyard once like a hungry racoon. She damn well didn’t come back again after I was through with her though.

I stepped into the studio, the sun spilling through the room like molten gold and I smiled at the familiar faces surrounding me. I waved at my new friends Kayla and Dione who’d been attending my classes for the past few weeks and they smiled brightly at me.

“Hey guys,” I said to grab everyone’s attention. “Who’s ready to become a savage?”

The sun was sinking over the sea as I stepped out of the boxing studio and locked up for the night. I only did day classes as I liked to spend my evenings and weekends with the guys, so the gym tended to attract students and moms. I swear the kids showing up with them were making me broody too, which I’d never really given much thought to before. And after I’d seen Emily Shaw’s new baby, I’d legit got a weird feeling in my tummy which I’d never experienced before. Not that I was ready to start planning a family. I was way too young and I didn’t want anything changing what me and my guys had. Not yet anyway.

Nash and I used the boxing gym whenever we wanted and he trained me for the odd local fight. I’d won my first three so far and there was nothing quite like the thrill of beating my opponent while my four Night Keepers stood beside the ring, roaring my name.

Kyan was waiting for me in
