Possessive. Pressure built low in my belly, and I clenched my thighs, feeling the long-forgotten burn.
And then I looked up. My chest heaved.
His eyes were on me. Pinning me with the absence of everything they usually held. The amusement was gone. The mischief had disappeared. The game was silent.
The mask was off.
In This Moment’s “Whore” poured out of the speakers, and I stared into his hard eyes that were hot and urgent on my skin. My tongue moved around my closed mouth, trying to quench the dryness in my throat.
He touched her with his hands but held me with his eyes, and every time he stroked her jaw or ran his finger across her cheek, I could feel the tingle on my skin.
I closed my eyes, then opened them and blinked hard to break the contact.
“So do you still skate?”
I blinked again, registering thunder in the distance. “What did you say?” I asked, looking over at Jax. Just breathe, Fallon.
“The skateboard tattoo on the inside of your wrist.” He gestured. “Is that your half-pipe with the severe incline in the basement?”
My half-pipe? He’d seen it?
“It’s still there?” I asked, incredulous. I couldn’t believe it.
He nodded. “Yeah, next to the piano.”
I dropped my eyes immediately.
That was strange. With all of my other belongings tossed out with the trash, why would they keep a huge half-pipe that took up space? A lot of space. I was about to ask Jax if there were any skateboards around it, hoping against hope that maybe Madoc or one of his friends salvaged those to use for themselves, but he had started up a conversation with some guy across the fire pit.
Tate brushed my arm, and I looked to my right. “So what’s with you and Madoc?” She looked like she was trying to keep her voice low, but Jared’s eyes flashed to mine when he heard her question. “Seems like there’s bad blood between you two,” she added.
I quickly glanced at Jared again, wondering if Madoc ever told him about us, but he wasn’t paying attention.
“We just never hit it off.” I shrugged to Tate, keeping my voice light. “With the way these two behaved around you the last time I was in town,” I joked, gesturing to Jared and Madoc, “I’m sure you understand where I’m coming from.”
She grinned and twisted her head to the side, looking up at her boyfriend. “Yeah, I guess I do.” And then she fixed me with a stern expression. “But I also know there’s two sides to every story. You two should talk.”
“We can barely stand to be in the same room together.”
Madoc was still across the fire, eyes shifting between Tate and me, and there was no mistaking it. He was pissed. Maybe he wondered what we were talking about, or maybe he just didn’t want me here.
Hell, I knew he didn’t want me here—which was why I was here.
Clipped voices to my left caught my attention, and I dragged my gaze away from Madoc.
“I would think that if you don’t have the balls to get on the track yourself, then you can shut up.” The guy next to Madoc was barking at Jax, who still sat next to me.
“And race who?” Jax sneered. “You? Yeah, that’ll get me off. I’ll race when it’s a challenge.”
“I don’t know what the hell you want from me, Jax, but I’m sick of—”
“You want to know what I want?” Jax interrupted, keeping his voice cocky. “I want your girlfriend to wipe off her poseur pink lip gloss and get in my car. That’s what I want.”
I darted my eyes to all of the snorts going off around the fire. Madoc laughed silently, shaking his head, while Jared’s body shook as he buried his laughter in Tate’s neck.
Tate saw my confused look and explained. “That’s Liam,” she whispered. “He’s K.C.’s boyfriend.” She pointed to the beautiful dark-haired girl sitting next to Liam, who stared at her lap, stunned. “He cheated on her last year, but they got back together. Jax hasn’t said anything, but I think he . . .”
Wants her. I finished her thought in my head. Well, if he wants her, then why wasn’t he going after her? Clearly, her winner of a boyfriend had nothing on him.
Liam’s jaw turned hard as his gaze trailed between Jax and his shocked girlfriend, who looked like she wanted to crawl inside of her shell. “Is something going on between you two?” he asked her.
She pursed her lips and swallowed, averting everyone’s eyes. “Of course not,” she said quietly.
Everyone watched as Jax and Liam went at it, and Jared, Tate, and Madoc all either smiled, laughed, or stiffened as Jax cracked jokes or suffered an insult. I realized how much of a unit they all were, and how they all stuck together. Madoc had a smile of pride in his eyes when he looked at Jax like a brother, and he had such an ease with Tate. He had a family in them.
Well, aside from Liam and K.C., anyway. She stayed quiet, clearly embarrassed, but her quick glances at Jax didn’t escape my notice, either. She looked breakable. Kind of like I was once.
But breaking was beautiful. It hurt, and it was an uphill climb back to sanity, but you came back stronger, fiercer, and more solid than you were before.
I waved my hands in front of me and shook my head at Liam, finally having enough of the idiocy. “Whoa,” I interrupted whatever asinine comment he was making. “So you cheated on your girlfriend last year.” I stopped and waved at K.C. “Hi, K.C. I’m Fallon, by the way.” And then I shot my attention back over to Liam. “And you’re worried about her cheating on you? I’d say you got a better girl than you deserve.” Snorts sounded around the fire, and K.C. shifted in her seat, looking uncomfortable.
With her eyebrows narrowed, she stood up and hesitated as if she wasn’t sure what move to make without instructions. My eyes dropped to her thumbnail that she kept dragging across the wrist of her other hand.
“I’m heading home.” She grabbed her T-shirt and pulled it over her bikini top. “See you all later.”
She walked down the stone steps to the pool deck, and I saw Jax’s fists tighten when Liam got up and approached him.
He leaned down, hovering over Jax, whose forearms rested on his knees, and he did nothing more than cock his head, welcoming whatever Liam was bringing.
“Leave him alone, Liam.” K.C.’s deep command surprised me, and I peered around her boyfriend to see a fire in her eyes that wasn’t there before.
Liam ignored her and threatened Jax under his breath. “She’s mine.”
“Only until I start trying,” Jax shot back.
And we all did a piss-poor job hiding our smiles as Liam marched off the patio, following K.C.
One thing I knew right then and there. I might hate Madoc, but I loved his friends.

Dengan semua saya barang-barang lain yang melemparkan keluar dengan sampah, mengapa akan mereka tetap setengah-pipa besar yang mengambil ruang? Banyak ruang. Aku hendak meminta Jax jika ada skateboard di sekitarnya, berharap-harap bahwa mungkin Utica atau salah satu teman-temannya menyelamatkan orang-orang menggunakan untuk diri mereka sendiri, tapi dia memulai sebuah percakapan dengan beberapa pria di api unggun.Tate disikat lenganku, dan aku melihat ke kanan. "Jadi apa adalah dengan Anda dan Utica?" Dia tampak seperti dia berusaha untuk menjaga nya suara rendah, tapi mata Jared's melintas dengan saya ketika ia mendengar pertanyaannya. "Sepertinya ada darah buruk antara kalian berdua," tambahnya.Saya segera melirik Jared lagi, bertanya-tanya jika Utica pernah mengatakan kepadanya tentang kami, tetapi ia tidak membayar perhatian."Kami hanya tidak pernah memukul." Aku mengangkat bahu untuk Tate, menjaga cahaya suara saya. "Dengan cara kedua berperilaku di sekitar Anda terakhir kali aku berada di kota," Aku bercanda, menunjuk ke Jared dan Utica, "Aku yakin Anda memahami mana aku berasal."Dia tersenyum dan memutar kepalanya ke samping, menatap pacarnya. "Ya, saya kira saya lakukan." Dan kemudian dia tetap saya dengan ekspresi yang tegas. "Tapi aku juga tahu ada dua sisi untuk setiap cerita. Kalian berdua harus berbicara.""Kami hampir tidak bisa berdiri berada di ruangan yang sama bersama-sama."Utica masih di dalam api, mata pergeseran antara Tate dan saya, dan tidak salah lagi itu. Ia kesal. Mungkin ia bertanya-tanya apa yang kita bicarakan, atau mungkin dia hanya tidak ingin aku di sini.Neraka, aku tahu dia tidak ingin aku di sini-yang adalah mengapa saya masih di sini.Suara-suara yang terpotong ke kiri menarik perhatian saya, dan saya menyeret pandangan dari Utica."Saya akan berpikir bahwa jika Anda tidak memiliki bola untuk mendapatkan di jalur diri Anda, maka Anda dapat menutup." Laki-laki di Utica menggonggong di Jax, yang masih duduk di sebelah saya."Dan ras yang?" JAX sneered. "Anda? Ya, yang akan mendapatkan saya. Saya akan berpacu ketika itu adalah sebuah tantangan.""Aku tidak tahu apa sih yang Anda inginkan dari saya, Jax, tapi aku muak —""Anda ingin tahu apa yang saya inginkan?" JAX terganggu, menjaga suaranya sombong. "Saya ingin pacar Anda untuk menyeka nya penipu pink lip gloss dan mendapatkan di mobil saya. Itu adalah apa yang saya inginkan."Saya kecilpun mata saya kepada semua snorts yang akan pergi mengelilingi api. Utica tertawa diam-diam, menggelengkan kepala, sementara Jared's tubuh mengguncang sebagai dia dikuburkan tawa di Tate's leher.Tate melihat saya terlihat bingung dan dijelaskan. "Itu adalah Liam," ia berbisik. "Ia adalah K.C.'s pacar." Dia menunjuk gadis berambut gelap yang indah duduk di samping Liam, yang menatap pangkuannya, tertegun. "Dia menipu pada tahun terakhir, tapi mereka kembali bersama-sama. JAX belum mengatakan apa-apa, tapi saya pikir dia... "Ingin dia. Aku selesai pemikiran di kepalaku. Nah, jika ingin dia, maka mengapa tidak ia akan setelah dia? Jelas, dia pemenang pacar tidak ada pada dirinya.Rahang dariMuhamad berubah keras seperti tatapan membuntuti antara Jax dan pacarnya terkejut, yang tampak seperti dia ingin merangkak dalam shell nya. "Adalah sesuatu yang terjadi antara Anda dua?" Dia bertanya.Ia diburu bibirnya dan menelan ludah, menghindari mata semua orang. "Tentu saja tidak," katanya dengan tenang.Semua orang menonton sebagai Jax dan Liam pergi di itu, dan Jared, Tate dan Utica semua baik tersenyum, tertawa, atau kaku Jax jenaka atau menderita penghinaan. Saya menyadari berapa banyak unit mereka semua, dan bagaimana mereka semua terjebak bersama. Utica telah senyum kebanggaan di matanya ketika ia memandang Jax seperti saudara, dan ia begitu mudah dengan Tate. Dia memiliki keluarga di dalamnya.Nah, selain Liam dan K.C., anyway. Dia tinggal tenang, jelas malu, tapi dia cepat melirik Jax tidak melarikan diri saya pemberitahuan, baik. Dia tampak pecah. Jenis seperti saya dulunya.Tapi melanggar indah. Sakit, dan itu adalah mendaki kembali ke kewarasan, tapi Anda datang kembali lebih kuat, lebih dan lebih padat daripada Anda sebelum.Aku melambaikan tangan saya di depan saya dan menggelengkan kepala di Liam, akhirnya memiliki cukup kebodohan. "Wah," Aku terganggu apapun komentar bodoh yang dia membuat. "Begitu Anda berselingkuh pacar Anda tahun lalu." Aku berhenti dan melambaikan tangan pada K.C. "Hi, K.C. Aku Fallon, by the way." Dan kemudian aku menembak perhatian saya kembali ke Liam. "Dan Anda khawatir tentang kecurangan pada Anda? Aku akan mengatakan kau seorang gadis yang lebih baik daripada yang Anda layak." Snorts terdengar di sekitar api, dan K.C. bergeser di kursi, melihat tidak nyaman.Dengan alis menyempit, dia berdiri dan ragu-ragu seolah-olah dia tidak yakin apa yang bergerak membuat tanpa petunjuk. Mata saya jatuh ke thumbnail nya bahwa dia terus menyeret di pergelangan tangan Nya tangan lain."Aku menuju rumah." Dia meraih T-shirt dia dan menariknya atas bikini nya. "Lihat Anda semua kemudian."Dia berjalan menuruni tangga batu ke kolam renang, dan aku melihat Jax's tinju mengencangkan ketika Liam bangun dan mendekatinya.Dia menoleh ke bawah, melayang di atas Jax, lengan yang beristirahat berlutut, dan dia tidak lebih dari ayam kepalanya, menyambut Liam apa pun membawa."Meninggalkannya sendirian, Liam." K.C. di dalam perintah mengejutkan saya, dan saya mengintip di sekitar pacarnya untuk melihat api di matanya yang tidak ada sebelumnya.Liam mengabaikannya dan terancam Jax di bawah napas. "Dia adalah tambang.""Hanya sampai aku mulai mencoba," Jax menembak kembali.Dan kita semua melakukan pekerjaan kencing-miskin menyembunyikan tersenyum kami sebagai Liam berbaris dari Teras, mengikuti K.C.Satu hal yang aku tahu saat itu juga. Aku mungkin benci Utica, tapi aku mencintai teman-temannya.
