Chapter 112


    Easton


    I wake up the next morning with a naked Harper in my arms, snuggled up close, her tits resting on my


    chest and her hair in my face. I crack my eyelids open only to immediately m them shut thanks to


    the blinding sun that''s pouring through the open window right next to the bed. With the power outst


    night, I forgot all about closing blinds and curtains, it was so damn dark. Harper shifts next to me, a little


    moan falling from her lips. My cock stirs—when does it not— and I’m about to flip her over and kiss her


    awake when I hear her speak. “Who turned on the lights? ''


    Chuckling, I kiss her forehead. “It’s the sun. ''


    She pulls out of my arms and sits up, pushing her hair out of her face as she looks around the room.


    Theforter has fallen to her waist, showing off her perfect tits and I''m reaching for one when... “Hey


    fuckers, are you awake? ''


    ke. Yelling at us from behind our closed bedroom door. “Yeah asshole, we''re awake. ''


    I sit up too, dropping a kiss on Harper’s bare shoulder. “Cool. We''re leaving in a few. Aisha wants to


    head back early, ''


    ke says. I look outside the window, surprised by the clear blue sky that''s dotted with fluffy white


    clouds. Like a horrible storm never blew through here yesterday and dumped a buttload of rain. “Are


    the roads cleared? ''


    “Yeah, they are. We''re good to go. ''


    ke hesitates for only a moment. “Thanks for having us. ''


    So polite to the host. Such a bunch of bullshit. “Drive safe! ''


    Harper calls, always so sweet. “See you guyster, ''


    ke calls. We hear footsteps as he walks away, then nothing but silence. I grab hold of Harper and


    bring her with me as I fall back onto the mattress. She''s giggling, shoving at my chest but she doesn''t


    really mean it. I can tell, thanks to the way she’s rubbing that hot body of hers against me, her legs


    tangling up with mine. “We should probably get ready to leave, ''


    she says when I start kissing her neck. “We can stay in bed for a few more minutes, ''


    I murmur against her throat. “I bet Ryan and Sadie are still in bed. Like us. ''


    “Can''t think about it, ''


    she quips, shoving at me again. But I don’t budge. Pulling away slightly, I stare into her eyes,


    overwhelmed with emotion for this girl who stands by me no matter what. And there was a lot of shit


    thrown at her this weekend, despite us having fun too. Any other girl would''ve probably run by now, but


    not mine. “I love you. ''


    Her expression softens and her lips curl into the sweetest smile. “I love you too. ''


    “I''m going to fuck you. ''


    I thrust against her, nice and slow. “And then we can Start packing up and getting ready to leave. ''


    Sheughs. “Okay. Deal. ''

    I press my mouth to hers and seal our deal with a tongue-—filled kiss. kk The drive back home is quiet.


    Almost somber. Ryan and I are sitting in the front of the Jeep, while the girls are in the back. Like we''re


    a couple of old married couples traveling together. But I could tell the girls wanted to get a private


    talking sesh in and I can handle not sitting next to Harper for a couple of hours. Barely. “Heard what


    happenedst night, ''


    Ryan says to me out of the blue. I nce over at him. “What exactly are you referring to? Lots of things


    happenedst night. ''


    Fucking Aisha and her big, never stop talking mouth. “Aisha bringing up your uh..friendship with her


    brother. ''


    Ryan squirms in his seat, as if it makes him ufortable. He didn’t know Deacon. He only heard the


    stories. After he died, I never brought him up. “Who told you? ''


    “ke. I was up early this morning and he found me in the kitchen. Filled me in on what Aisha saidst


    night. What she did. ''


    Ryan shakes his head. “She''s evil, man. Toxic. What the fuck is ke doing with her? ''


    “I don''t know. I think he likes pain. ''


    Sometimes I wonder if I do too. Why else would I put up with ke’s—and Aisha’s—constant bullshit?


    “Don''t we all? Look... ''


    Ryan nces over at me and I see the sincerity written all over his face. “Whatever sick, twisted game


    you used to y with Aisha and her brother and..whatever, I don’t want my sister to be a part of it. I


    know you care about her, and I believe you when you say that. But [''m worried about Aisha. ''


    ‘I''ll protect Harper, ''


    I snap, irritated Ryan would think I don''t have her best interests at heart. “I won''t let Aisha touch a hair


    on her head. ''


    “I don''t worry about Aisha touching my sister. It’s what she says to her that could fuck with her head. ''


    He pauses, slumping in his seat. “And her heart. ''


    Fuck. Ryan’s right. Aisha’s weapons are her words, and she knows how to wield them so they cut


    deep. The fucking bitch. “I''m sick of her shit, ''


    I mutter, gripping the steering wheel. “If she even looks in Harper''s direction, I''m going to do something


    about it. ''


    “Like what? Beat her up? That''ll get you tossed in jail. Yell at her? She''ll justugh in your face and


    bring up some old, hurtful memory that''ll make you look like a douche. Face it, she’s got too much on


    you. She''s got too much on all of us. ''


    Ryan shakes his head. Hate to admit it, but Ryan''s right. Aisha does have too much on all of us in this


    Jeep. ke too. Hell, more than half the school poption. She''s feared. Hated. “What do we do then?


    ''


    I ask, feeling helpless. And that is an emotion I don''t like experiencing. At all. “(gnore her. Don’t


    acknowledge her. That''ll drive her crazy. We''re going to have to do the same with ke. Cut ther out of


    our lives for good, ''


    Ryan suggests. “That''s easier said than done. ''


    “No shit. But we can sure as hell try.”
