He scoffs. “Full of yourself much? I’d like to see you try.”
Zane can fight, I’ve seen him working out at the gym in the past, taking a few classes here and there with professionals, but he’s not consistent with it. Plus, his work outs are more about letting off steam, while I focus more on strength training.
He’s good when his mind is clear and he has the discipline needed. But right now, all that is out the window. He’s an obsessed man. A man who found out his brother fucked the girl he’s been in love with for years.
Well, he’s about to learn a life lesson: You can’t always get what you want, and life doesn’t always go the way you wish it would. He might think Jade is his, but I know she’s mine. Or she will be. Brother or not, I’m not giving her up for anyone.
I’m also not going to let the little shit use me as his personal punching bag. “You had enough?” I ask and grunt a second later when he gets a shot in, hitting me in the stomach. “Fuck it. That's the last one I’m letting you have,” I warn through clenched teeth.
When he comes at me again, I trip him up, knocking him on his ass. He goes down with a loud thud.
He scrambles to his feet, face red with anger, frustration, and embarrassment, looking pretty feral right about now. “You fucked my girl!” he shouts.
“Yeah. I did.” I nod, dusting off my dress shirt.
“Did you know? Did you know it was her?” he demands the answer, eyes boring into mine.
Licking my lips, I nod again. “I did.”
“What the fuck! Why would you do that?! You knew I was looking for her. And you’ve been fucking her this whole time while knowing who she fucking was! Not to mention, you knew where she was and didn’t tell me!” he roars. He charges me again, and all bets are off.
He tackles me to the ground, and I go down hard. Pain splinters through my back as I let out a wheezing breath. He gets a hit into the side of my head before I flip him onto his back, straddling him as I give him a good punch to the jaw. “Only for six months,” I shout, hitting him again.
He tries to get a few more shots in, but I block them. He uses his strength to roll us. He’s on top now, and I roar in frustration as he punches me again. I don’t want to hurt him. But he’s not giving me much of a choice.
“You still knew!” Zane scrambles back, looking like a feral animal. “Jade is mine. Stay the fuck away from her.”
“I can’t do that.” I get to my feet, sucking in deep breaths.
He gets to his feet, too. “Yes, you fucking can. Jade is mine,” he growls low, deep, dangerous. “She’s Everett and Griffin's too. You really think she’s going to pick you over us,” he scoffs, looking me up and down before spitting out a glob of blood onto the floor as he wipes his bloody lip.
“Sure, you have money and power—all that bullshit—but that won’t win you Jade. She doesn’t care about that. Never has. You're nothing but a rich dickhead who thinks the world owes him something while living off Daddy’s money. You're a vapid, prissy, rich bitch who could only offer her money. You would try to control her, mold her into some trophy omega you can show off at red carpet events like she’s some fucking accessory. Us? We have history. We can give her everything she needs, everything she wants.”
He grins, blood coating his teeth. “She was always meant to be ours, even before she became an omega.”
This fucking guy. He knows nothing about me. Has no idea what he’s saying. He is so far off on who I am and how I can be the alpha Jade needs. He would have known that if he didn’t make me out to be the enemy from day one. If he wants me to be the bad guy, then why the fuck not?
“I get it. You had a childhood crush. She meant something to you. You want her back. How cute. But grow up, Zane. This is the real fucking world. You can’t just walk back into her life and expect her to be yours. I’m surprised she came back here with you at all. I know Jade and that club is her life.”
“Shut up!” he screams. “You know nothing about her!”
“And you do?” I chuckle, which pisses him off. “I’m sure that’s not true."
“Fuck you. I know Jade better than anyone else in the world.”
“Oh, really?” I taunt with a smirk. “Again, I don’t think that's true. You knew Jade from a pre-teen to a teenager. A lot of things change when you grow up, Zane. Me, however, I’ve gotten the privilege of getting to know Jade as the woman she’s become. The sexy, sassy little thing she is.”
“Shut the fuck up,” he warns. “Jade is not yours. She will never be yours.” He gives me a cocky grin. “And I’m not just saying that because I want her for myself. The fact is, big brother, Jade is my scent match.” He grins wider as my face drops and my stomach twists.
“That's right,” he laughs. “Jade is not only my scent match but Everett and Griffin’s too. And when she realizes it, you won’t stand a chance. She’s going to forget you ever existed.”
Now, it’s my turn to be filled with uncontrollable rage. “You’re lying,” I snarl.
“Oh, there's no lie,” he chuckles.
I have never wanted to beat his ass more than I do right now. It would only cause issues in the long run. But I’m done playing nice.
I step forward with the real need to poke the bear tonight. “I bet you don’t know that she has a sweet spot.” I cock my head to the side, running my finger down the side of my neck. “Right under her ear. When I suck on it, she fucking mewls so beautifully. God, Zane, the way she strangled my cock with her tight pussy,” I groan. “Pure. Fucking. Heaven.”
