DAYTON
I hate having to watch her go on dates with other guys. I can’t stand that she’s smiling at other people.
I punch the bag until I’m sweating, but it still doesn’t make me feel better.
I take a shower and decide to join the others. I saw her leave with Silas, so she’s not here. She avoids me whenever I’m around.
“You got a taste, and now you want more?” Ethan snarls, and I turn to face off with him. He has a lot of nerve, considering I could snap his neck with one hand.
“What?”
“She’s perfect in every way and really knows how to suck dick.”
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“I had a taste and want more.”
“Look, you piece of shit, you’re nothing. She’s better than you. You try to act like you’re some big shot, like you’re all mysterious like a mafia-type guy, but you are shit. You did something to her in her past, and when I find out, it will be you and me in that cage because that’s where I rule. When you say you’re in management, you mean of the Burger King you run.”
His eyes widen.
“Timber is special, not someone to be used for whatever personal reasons you have. But trust me when I say she doesn’t want you. She’s scared of you.”
“Doesn’t seem like she likes you either,” he states and, yeah, he got me there.
“Doesn’t matter if she does or not. Either you’re here for her, or you’re here to ruin her. If it’s the latter, then you might want to do us both a favor and leave.”
“She’s nothing. She’s a slut, and I will make sure everyone knows it. Did you know she sucked cock for money? It was to pay for college. I hired her for a frat party. She made enough for one semester.”
“So what, do you think that will change how any of us feel about her? We all do things to get by.”
“You think you could be with a girl who’s sucked a thousand cocks?”
“I don’t care about her past.” I know by this time we have an audience.
“Obviously you do, or you wouldn’t have let the other girl stay the other night.”
“You don’t know anything about me,” I hiss.
“I know enough, Dayton. I know you weren’t faithful to Snow.”
“The fuck?”
“I was at a party one night, oh yeah, it was the same frat party I hired Timber for, and she sucked your dick. You were with Snow, but you were so blitzed, you wouldn’t remember.”
“What?” Shit, Timber heard that. I guess she is back from her date early.
“You slammed your cock down her throat, laughing when she cried. You were brutal, man.”
“Fuck you.” I slam him against the barn door, wanting to squeeze the life out of him. I want to snap his neck.
“Don’t know why you care.” He gasps for breath. “If her family didn’t want her, why would you?”
Timber gasps, and I grip his neck harder. I start to squeeze tighter until I’m flung across the yard. I watch Memphis push Ethan toward the cabins.
I turn and see Timber run toward the house. My life keeps getting worse.
“What the fuck?” London is gripping my arm and dragging me toward the cage.
