Alley POVI watched my handsome devil leave and I whined. I turned to Ethan and he patted the bed next to him to come get some love. I crawled next to him and cuddled his right side while Jess cuddled his left side. He was such a pimp."We really have to get to school. You ok Alley?" Ethan was looking down at me and I pulled my bottom lip out in a pout. "Oh my god don't do that. Now I know why Ace is so helpless to you."He sat up pulling Jess in his arms then stole a long kiss from her as I grabbed my bag. Another day of hell but in all honesty, school wasn't so bad or at least not like last year or even the beginning of this year.So much had changed in these few months that I didn't even feel like the same person. Tonight, Layla and Ethan were updating me on all things to do with my brother and I prayed he hadn't changed too much from the boy he was last year. Every time my mind wandered to Derek the drug dealer, I felt my heart squeeze painfully. Why would he do this to himself or
Ace POVSeven o'clock and I was racing out the door of my office. I talked to Alley constantly but I needed to see her. I couldn't wait to shed this suit of sin and wrap my body around hers. She told me that she was concerned about her brother and wanted to talk about some stuff and I fucking prayed she wasn't going to ask me to help him. I couldn't handle that shit but I knew she couldn't lose him either. I wanted to murder Derek.Every day that passed I felt like we were all inching closer to the inevitable bomb that was going to explode. I love that I needed her but I wasn't so naive to the fact that I was trying to savor every moment because I knew damn well it could be our last. She also told me about the little fuck triangle Layla was in between Derek and Ethan. I was actually surprised about that. I thought Ethan was really into Jess but I guess not if he is screwing Layla too. Maybe he did fuck all the hot chicks around him. Shit! He better not touch Alley. I knew I couldn't
Alley POVThe next three days of school were torture in every way. Christian and I were perfect but everything else in my life was crumbling.I tried talking to Derek at the Shore Club the other day but he just spewed more lies to me. I didn't want to break his confidence in Ethan so I only told him what Layla had known. Derek swore he was going to run three shipments and then get us a small house in Florida. You know the furthest state on the other side of the country at the very bottom. He didn't even ask me, he just told me what we were doing and for me to stay out of it for now. I asked him about the drugs he supposedly took from Randy but he brushed it off saying it was nothing big and had enough savings to clear his debt.I knew he would never take my money but I didn't think he would lie so easily to me. I guess in his own fucked up way he was trying to protect me. I was so tired of hearing that. Derek and Christian wanted me by their side but in the dark. They were just as b
Ace POVI swear I'll kill Ethan if he try's anything with her. He was always such an asshole. So smooth, pretending to be their friend's just so he could weasel his way into their pants. "Christian! Ethan will watch out for her; he won't hurt her." Daniel's voice was soft, but his eyes were unsure if he should be talking to me like this way."I'm not worried about him hurting her." After his car sped out of my driveway, I spun on my heels to get dressed. I was meeting this new player Dante that my father so happened to threaten after he killed his mother. Fuck my life!Arriving at the club I headed straight to the private room that already had Dante and a few of his men partying hard. Everything I knew about him so far showed me he was nothing to worry about and the amount of shit he put in his body I wouldn't be surprised he overdosed. Hmm that might be the perfect way to get rid of him if this negotiation goes south. My demeanor was full asshole by the time I reached the door. I
Alley POVThe second my feet hit the sand I was spiraling. I rarely had panic attacks but with all this shit going on I couldn't seem to calm the storm inside my body. Ethan's hand was wrapped tightly in my left hand while my right tapped my thigh. He spun in front of me grabbing my other hand bringing them both to his mouth. I gave him an annoyed look that he was peppering kisses all over my wrist."Come on Alley, I need you to relax. Ace can't be here so you have to decide what it's going to be. We get this done or turn away and let Derek's life fall as it will."My face scrunched at his words. I knew I was losing my shit but I wasn't going to let Derek owe Alvarez this money. I had to do this for him then get him out of town. One step at a time. "There's my favorite girl." He said noticing my attitude change from scared little girl to bitch on a mission. I shot him a smile shaking my head then he gave me a kiss on the cheek.I wiped it off making him laugh. "I'm good. Thank you!"
Ace POVHalf way to Alvarez's Daniel finally cracked. We were silent the whole time but I knew he was disappointed with how I treated Derek. He didn't understand what it meant for Alley though. The path Derek was walking would lead to only two possibilities. He would piss my father off and get himself and whole family killed or he would piss me off and I would kill him. Either they were both dying or he was dying. There was a no-win situation in any of this but I was going to make damn sure Alley was untouched."Christian, I know my place but please hear me out. Derek is her brother. She loves him.""I know and even though it doesn't seem this way I'm doing this for her.""How?" His face had so much disgust in it for me I wanted to punch him."I'm allowing him to make his money and leave. He can't stay here Daniel. He'll wind up dead or my father will catch on and go after his whole family. That means Alley. I will sacrifice everything for her and trust me we don't want to go down th
Alley POV"Fuck he is pissed. Do you think he knows?" I spun to Ethan who was leaning against his car. We barely had a chance to breathe from the fuck show with Alvarez and now Ace wanted round two."I don't know. You don't have to go there, Alley. Stay with me tonight and let him cool off.""No! I just want to get this over with. If he knows then no more secrets and we can move forward, right?""No more secrets from you at least. He has novels that his secrets can fill."I sighed rolling my eyes. Yeah, he was right, I know. Why do I feel so guilty anyway? Well, the two kisses with Ethan was definitely tugging at my soul right now but I couldn't think about that. I would over analyze every moment until I broke.I love Christian. I want Christian. Whatever was going on with Ethan I needed to stop. I was being unfair to both them and myself. "Ethan, I don't expect you to understand and I'm not mad that you don't. All I'm asking is that you trust me. He is pissed but he would never hurt
Ace POVMy anger for this girl was far past any level I ever felt. Every time she touched me, I saw him kissing her. I wanted to spank her then fuck her so hard. I should have fuck her already. I'm going to lose it and take her rough one day and that's not how we were supposed to be. She fucking destroyed that though.I sat up from between her legs, picked her body up, and quickly flipped her on her stomach. I was doing this now or I was killing everyone in this town. I grabbed a pillow and placed it under her stomach. "Ass straight in the air and forehead to the mattress." I orderedShe got right into the perfect position like she knew exactly what I wanted. How she was naturally so perfect, I didn't know, but right now, I didn't care. My eyes raked that perfect bubble butt and I knew exactly what I wanted and this time I was taking it."Do you know why you are being punished?""I think so."My hand came down hard on her right cheek. My lips went straight to my mark licking and sucki
