His fingers come to a stop inside me and I groan.

“You don’t know who he is do you?”

“I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. He's just some guy,” I say as I try to move my hips to get him to start moving again. “Maddox, please.”

Instead of helping me find the release I need, he pulls out of me completely. There’s a cold shift in the air like something bad is about to happen.

“Maddox?” I’m not even sure if he’s still there, he’s so quiet and still.

After a few more dragged out seconds, Maddox finally speaks to me. “James’ dad was the one that hit Max.”

“What?” I gasp as my skin turns ice cold and I feel like my soul leaves my body.

No.

That can’t be right.

James would have said something if that were true. He wouldn't have spent so long chasing after me and not brought it up once.

“You didn’t know.” Maddox’s voice is strained and there’s an edge to it like he’s in pain. “Fuck, Violet.”

“No. I swear I didn't." I felt sorry for him earlier, being tied up like that, but now I wish he got even worse than that. He was playing me all along with his talk of friendship and now I understand what Sarah was trying to tell me.

"What happened to him after you drugged me? Did you do something?”

“Why do you care about him at all?” He growls out.

“I don’t! I care about you. If you did something to him…Maddox, I can’t lose you again. You could end up in prison.”

"Then why were you texting him telling him you were ready to be with him?"

"I already told you, I thought it was you! The first time he text was just after you scared me in the cafeteria."

It dawns on me where that photo of me was taken.

The party.

"Oh, baby."

"You must have seen the photo of me. Maddox, I swear I didn't do anything with him. I didn't even know he took it, I was so drunk that night."

Warmth comes back to my body asMaddox places his palms on my thighs and starts rubbing small circles into my skin with his thumbs. “You don't need to worry about him or anything else anymore. Your big brothers are going to take care of you from now on." There's a hesitation to his voice, like he's holding something back from me, but right now I don't think I can handle knowing.

Tonight has been a total mindfuck and I don't think it's over yet.

"You don't hate me then?"

"I thought I did, but no and as long as you follow our rules, Max will come around as well. I promise I’m not going anywhere, Vi."

Maddox gives me everything I need. Not only his promise of staying with me, but the release I need so badly. The one I’ve been on the edge of since he started touching me. It’s oh so close and as I feel his fingers and mouth claiming my pussy it only gets closer.

“Maddox, I need you,” I moan into the mattress.

“What are you doing?” Max suddenly snaps. I was so lost in the feel of Maddox that I didn’t even hear him come in.

“You were taking ages so I thought I’d get her nice and ready for us.” His mouth leaves me, but he makes up for it by moving his fingers slowly inside me, circling them around and hitting a particularly sensitive spot that makes my body shake.

All I can manage to do is press my face deeper into the mattress as I whimper and moan.
