Bully King - J.A. Huss Page 0,47

excited. He knows too. Ivan looks like he’s having a hard time keeping his hands to himself.

He meets my gaze and I caution him with a fierce look. “Follow my lead,” I say loud enough for everyone to hear. “Understand me?”

Ivan nods. “Sure. Fine. Whatever.”

“You may touch her, Ivan.”

Cadee gasps a little.

“Is that a stop, I hear, Cadee? Ready to walk away now?”

She holds her breath and shakes her head. “No. I’m staying.”

Ivan grins. They’ve all heard about what they do during summer rush. They have probably spent the last several years jerking off to the fantasy.

But they don’t know. They don’t have any idea. And not just because it’s different every summer. The King makes the rules and plans the games. No two summer rushes are exactly alike. But because they think this is about sex the same way the girls think it’s about money.

And summer rush isn’t about either of those things.

It’s about power.

And how they don’t have any until it’s bestowed upon them.

And if I have to be stuck here running this shit, I’m gonna make damn fucking sure I have fun.

I peek over Cadee’s shoulder and watch Ivan’s fingertips caress her stomach. I wish I could see her face. Lars has moved closer to get a better look, his hesitance nothing but fascination now.

I kiss Cadee’s neck and massage one of her breasts. This makes her knees buckle a little. Like I make her weak.

Ivan takes a step forward, pressing his hips up to hers. He wants to kiss her. Even makes a move to try, but I turn Cadee’s head and claim her lips for myself.

She kisses me back immediately and my cock grows in my pants.

That wasn’t in the plan, but oh, well. I grind it against her ass as I play with her tongue, then slip my hand down her ribs, right past the waistband of her shorts, and find the wetness between her legs.

Ivan’s hand follows mine and I pause, holding my breath for a moment. Because I want to stop him, but I want to leave it there too. And when I look at Lars, he’s shaking his head at me.

I crossed a line there with Lars, so I pull Ivan’s hand out and he doesn’t protest, but his fingers are already wet.

The room is totally silent. Like… I’m pretty sure everyone is holding their breath.

“Are you laughing yet, Cadee?” I whisper these words past her lips as I kiss her.

She huffs. But she smiles too.

I stop kissing her and look at Ivan. He’s… transfixed. I’m pretty sure this kid has never, ever, even in his wildest fucking fantasies, thought about sharing a girl like this in front of a whole room filled with men.

But after today, it will be all he thinks about.

All of them will jerk off tonight picturing themselves as me and Ivan with Cadee between us. I mean… isn’t that why Ax, Lars, and I started the whole Cadee Hunter experiment back when we were seniors in Prep?

Because we heard about it?

And then we couldn’t stop the fantasy?

I hate to break it to poor Ivan here. Hate to burst his little bubble, but this is just day one. He’s not getting off that easy.

And neither is Cadee.

I pull my hands away from Cadee and step back. She looks over her shoulder at me, her eyes heavy for a moment. Then she squints them. Questioning what I’m doing. Wondering why I’m no longer touching her.

I point to my pledges one at a time. Michael, Dante, Roland, and Jamie. Then I say, “You also have my permission to touch her.”

Cadee gasps, squirming a little in Ivan’s embrace. Both Lars and Ax are on either side of her as the other boys step forward, grinning and laughing with excitement. All of them are hard beneath their shorts. Dante is even grabbing himself.

I slip back up behind Cadee and start tracing the back of my fingers up and down her ribs. Her shirt is up to her neck, her breasts round and firm and her nipples hard from all the hands on her. But they’re gentle hands. Because I am gentle. And I set the standard. The King always sets the standard.

I lean into her ear one more time. “Last chance to walk away, Cades.” Fuck. That nickname just slipped out. “Cadee.” I correct myself. “Say stop and we stop. Say nothing and this goes on until it’s over.”

She says nothing.

“You’re so stupid,” I whisper as I slip my fingers into
