Page 50 of Their Cruel Play
“We’ve had dinner with you multiple times. Even took you to meet some of our parents. We take you to parties, not just showup and hook up.” Eli grabs the back of my neck. His gaze drops to my lips like he wants to take them. My insides riot, wanting him to. “It would seem like we’re dating, kitten.”
“Do we have a girlfriend?” Caden asks with a smirk. My pulse quickens at the thought of being their girlfriend and not just a pet. It’s not realistic though.
Eli dips his head toward mine, and my lips part in anticipation of his kiss. He smiles. “What do you think, kitten? Does this count as a date?”
His lips brush against mine as he speaks. I’m like a wire waiting for the next jolt of electricity. Eli’s face is all I see.
I huff out a breath. “I guess this counts as a date, but you guys haven’t exactly asked me to be your girlfriend. You pretty much just demanded that I’m yours.”
Eli traces his thumb over the throbbing vein in my neck. “You are ours, kitten.”
“Every inch of you.” Luke slides his hand under my skirt again.
“Who had the eggs with bacon?” a feminine voice says.
I try to straighten, but Eli’s grip tightens. I search his eyes, wanting him to release me, but knowing he won’t. This is pointless. He’ll do what he wants. He smiles when I stop struggling and give in.
“Good kitty. Those would be mine.” He glances up at the server behind me. “How’s it going, Rebecca?”
“Pancakes.” The plate hits the table hard next to me.
Eli’s eyes return to me. What the fuck did he do to her that she completely ignores him, and he lets her get away with it?
Maybe that’s the bigger question. Why don’t they punish her for ignoring them?
Before I can think any more about it, Eli claims my mouth. He slides his tongue against mine. I can hear the other platesbeing placed on the table, but he’s stealing all my focus. Tempting me with a kiss designed to steal my very soul.
I don’t try to back away again as he takes everything I have to give, leaving my insides a pool of desire, longing chasing after his touch. He lifts his mouth and rests his forehead against mine.
“We don’t need to ask you to be ours, kitten. We own you. You belong to us in all ways.” Eli nips at my lip before straightening.
I try to catch my breath and will my heart to stop pounding. The server is long gone, and the others have begun to eat. Luke removes his hand to eat his breakfast.
Isthis a date? Does it matter if it is or not? It changes nothing.
“Where are you in your art project, little nympho?” Caden’s question makes my gaze jerk to his. The only project I have is with Tanner, but I’m definitely not bringing him up.
“It’s interesting. We’re supposed to take different techniques and apply them, but both the artists should be obvious in the design, so it’s a combination of our styles.” I cut my pancakes a little roughly. I’ve forgotten that Tanner threatened me as well.
Zach got in my head with his trying to rape me.
Maybe I should report Zach, but what am I supposed to say? The guy trapped me in a closet and tried to coax me out to have sex with him? And then threatened to rape me?
The guys will say to let them handle it. But how are they going to handle it? And what about the Cheermonsters? I mean, they had to know. Was it all planned? Were they behind it or was that surprise on Sidney’s face actually genuine?
“Hey, guys.” A male voice draws me from my thoughts. Ah, death wish guy, the guy who winked at me. My cheeks flush at my punishment for looking their way. I try to keep my focus on my pancakes.
“What’s up, Parker?” Caden narrows his eyes at the guy, who’s almost as big as him.
“So, the guys and I were wondering.” Parker rubs the back of his neck and glances my way.
Okay, that’s weird.
“Maybe I should ask at practice.” Whatever courage Parker had walking up to us vanishes.
“Spit it out, Parker.” Caden doesn’t look happy. What’s happening?
