I make my way into the lavish kitchen and settle my eyes on the group of guys munching away at leftover pizza still on the counter.
“Morning, sleepyhead,” Atlas says. “Want some?”
I nearly forgot he was here too.
“Sure, why not?” I say, yawning as I sit down beside him.
He hands me a slice with pepperoni. “It’s cold, but it’s still good.”
“Thanks,” I reply, taking a bite. “Sounds like you guys had some fun last night.”
“I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there,” Atlas muses.
“You missed out,” Kevin says, glancing at me.
“Yeah, I double-fucked two girls from the Beta Pi Sorority last night,” Davy says, making a weird sound.
“How’s that even possible? You’ve only got one dick,” I say, still half asleep.
“Dude, did you check the drawers? We’ve got dildos for days,” Davy replies.
Kevin laughs. “Every time I think I’ve already used all the toys, I open another drawer and bam, a whole treasure chest full of unexplored possibilities pops up.”
“Ahhh, the joys of an orgy. I’ll never forget my first one,” Orion muses, taking a small bite of his slice. “Pity I had to miss out last night. Hope you guys had fun on my behalf.”
“What were you even doing up there?” I ask him while I take a bite of my pizza. “Jerking off?”
“Writing poetry, if you must know.”
The two other guys laugh.
“And having the most amazing sex of my entire life, of course.”
Everyone shuts up and glares at him.
“With the most fabulous woman you could ever imagine.” Orion winks.
“Who was it?” Atlas asks.
He taps his fingers together like the most amazing story is right on the tip of his tongue. “You’ll never believe me.”
Everyone’s stopped eating. “Well, c’mon, tell us then,” Davy says.
The smug smile on his face makes me glare. “Sunny Reed.”
And my whole world suddenly comes crashing down.
CHAPTER 11
Xavier
Rage slowly bubbles to the surface.
“No way,” Davy says.
Kevin laughs. “Good one. Almost got me there.”
The fury mounts and mounts while I clutch the pizza so tightly that all the pepperoni squishes together.
“It’s true. She crawled in through my window and tied me to my chair,” Orion adds. “But if you don’t want to believe me, that’s fine. It’ll be my little secret that I had a taste of her delectable pussy.”
That’s it.
I lunge over the table, grab him by the shirt, and shove the pizza right into his goddamn mouth, the whole fucking slice. “Don’t fucking talk about her like that, motherfucker!”
He mumbles through the slice. “What? It’s the truth.”
“Stop fucking lying about Sunny!” I yell, stuffing the pizza so far down his throat he nearly suffocates from it.
“Wow, you’re taking this too seriously,” Davy says. “Calm down.”
“What the fuck, Xav?” Atlas barks, trying to get me off him.
But I’m anything but calm. I’m fucking furious that Orion dares to lie about her.
And if it isn’t a lie, that means she chose him over me.
It would break me into pieces.
“It’s. True,” Orion chokes out.
I shove the pizza farther into his mouth. “No. It fucking can’t be.”
Atlas rips me away from Orion long enough to allow him to swallow a bit of the pizza and spit the rest out. “Jesus Christ.”
“Then how come I know she’s visited the Tartarus Society to look for you?” Orion says between coughs and heaves. “Because she told me after she was done toying with me.”
“What?” I stop trying to fight Atlas to get him off me.
“She actually came to the door last night and asked about you,” Davy says, leaning back in his seat. “I said you weren’t home and asked if she wanted to party with us.” He shrugs. “Too bad she declined, would’ve loved to hit that.”
I nearly throw the entire pizza box at his face.
I’m fucking fuming at the thought that any of these fuckers would touch her, let alone invite her to one of their sex parties filled with pure debauchery.
“She’d cut off your dick if you tried,” I retort, then get up, snatching a slice of pizza so I can have breakfast to-go instead.
I don’t have time to waste on these fuckers. I gotta prove to Sunny that I’m stronger, faster, better than him, so that she’ll never need anyone else but me.
“Running already?” Atlas asks, smiling.
“I have an appointment,” I tell them, but then I focus on Orion. “You … stay out of her way.”
Before he can respond, I dart out the door. I don’t want to listen to him spout about how his time with her was amazing, and how he got to shove his nose and tongue into her pussy.
I can’t believe it actually happened. A part of me wishes he’s just saying his fantasy poetry out loud, but another part of me knows there’s no fucking way he’s able to lie about her looking for me when Davy and the others can corroborate that she came to the Tartarus House.
