him.

“What am I gonna do with this?” he asks, looking down at it.

“Just be ready to record.” I’ll figure something out. Everyone needs to know that she’s mine, and nobody better fucking touch her! What better way than to blast it to the ones who always have their faces in their phones?

“Okay. What exactly?”

I look back over at the mansion and find myself smiling. I’m gonna teach you a lesson, sweetheart. One that you won’t forget. “I’m about to up the game.”

“Meaning?”

“She’ll challenge me.” I know her well enough to know she’ll push me, especially if she’s drunk. And not like it’ll be hard for her to want me. She begged me to fuck her just last week at my party. That video is still getting hits from what Deke showed me yesterday. “Record whatever you can get, then send it to yourself. Depending on what she does, you can upload it tomorrow.”

He nods. “And Becky?”

“What about her?” I ask. She’s not my problem. In fact, she’s my help. I climb out of his SUV but smile to myself. “Actually, you should make your move.”

“What? She’s with David.” He shakes his head.

“I heard he dumped her over winter break.” I may not talk to people, but that doesn’t mean I don’t listen when they’re running their fucking mouths.

“Really?” he asks excitedly.

I just nod. Not like it mattered. She wasn’t faithful, but only me and a few others know that. One more loose end I can tie up between Austin and me. Her best friend dating a GWS? She’ll still feel outnumbered. It won’t take long for Deke to convince Becky to love him. I know Deke Biggs. He’ll pull out all the stops. And Austin will have no one to help her escape me.

“Delete it,” I snap.

When I had him record us together, it was to prove to the school that she belonged to me. I wanted to degrade her as part of my plan to destroy her. But now? Everyone knows she’s mine. And after Kellan mentioned how he had gotten off so many times listening to it, I want it gone. I didn’t really know she was going to let me fuck her in the bathroom when I walked into that party that night. Shove her up against a wall and make out with her? Yes! But fuck her? She surprised me when she allowed me to go that far, but of course, like the jackass I am, I didn’t stop it. I wanted her. There was no reason to deny it at that point.

Becky sits up and rubs her eyes. “What are you guys talking about?” she asks through a yawn.

We all ignore her. “Delete it right fucking now!” I order.

“I am,” Deke informs me, his fingers rushing over his iPhone.

“What?” she asks, looking back and forth between us. “You didn’t … you didn’t upload that video.” Guess she wasn’t in that deep of a sleep.

He doesn’t look up at her.

“Deke?” she growls. “Tell me you didn’t upload that video!”

He stops typing and finally looks up from his phone. “I did.”

“No.” She shakes her head. “I saw it posted on Evan Scott’s page.”

He says nothing. Bennett pretends to be more interested in the ceiling suddenly. I hold in a sigh. This isn’t going to end well, and we don’t have time for this shit.

“Deke!” She stands, getting aggravated and tosses his jacket to the hospital floor. “Austin asked me if I knew you had posted it, and I said you didn’t. When she argued that you confessed to recording it, I said you must have sent it to someone else to upload. So how can you delete it?”

His jaw sharpens.

She takes in a deep breath. “Deke …”

“I’m Evan Scott.” He drops the bomb.

She just stares at him. Her wide blue eyes are in shock at first, but you can see the anger take over her features. She bites down on her bottom lip, probably to keep from yelling at him inside the quiet waiting area. She may be in love with Deke Biggs, but Becky doesn’t know the real him. No one knows the real GWS.

I wonder what he would think of her if he knew her secret. The only thing is that I’m a part of that secret too.

He stands, pocketing his phone. “Becky …”

She spins around and storms out the double doors, and he goes running after her.

I look at Bennett. “Make sure that video is nowhere to be found.” Deke didn’t get it done.

He
