Chapter thirteen

Damien

This girl. I don’t even know what she’s doing to me. I had no intentions of fucking her on that sink but damn, seeing her in my shirt, then bent over., it was like my resolve snapped. Pretty sure she just became my new favorite meal too. Looking back at her from where I'm sitting on the floor, she is passed the fuck out. Chuckling, I stand and Luis scoots down so I can slide in, letting her legs rest on me. Now, she's basically laying across the three of us. Reyes turns the movie down and looks at me.

“I wanna know what that creep said to her at the club. I haven’t seen her tense up like that around anyone.” He whispers, trying not to wake Raven.

“I agree, I am going to text Zeke in the morning and get him to pull the security feed, see if we can get a better look at him.” Luis adds while rubbing circles on her hand.

“Definitely. In the car, she had this dazed-off worried look on her face. Whatever he said made her pretty fuckinguncomfortable. We will figure it out in the morning, maybe we can talk to her about it.” I reply, having the tiniest bit of hope that she will even tell us. This girl holds everything in and I don’t blame her. I know me and the guys are the same way. We just have never had true feelings for anyone.

Apparently when it comes to her, that looks like it's all about to change. Hell, Reyes already has feelings for her. He didn’t even have to tell me for me to know. He's never looked at a girl the way he looks at her. I’ve known him since we were kids and that guy had never wanted to have any kind of relationship. Luis was worse than him about that, he’s just more the scary, silent type.

Looking over at Reyes and Luis, they’re both passed out. Reyes has his head propped up on one hand with his other resting in Ravens hair, while Luis has his head laid on the back of the couch, still holding her hand.

Turning the TV off, I lay my head back and close my eyes, thinking about this blue-eyed angel that's managed to sink her claws into all of us.

A sudden wave of pain to my dick has me jolting awake. Sitting up grunting, I look over as Raven laughs, looking back at me.

“Oh fuck, I am so sorry. I woke up not knowing where I was so I jumped up.” She says as she keeps giggling. Glaring at her, I shake my head.

“Fuck, getting kicked in the dick will definitely wake someone up. Jesus Christ.” Her laughing must wake the others up because I hear Reyes grumble before he asks,

“Baby girl, what is so damn funny this early?” His eyes open a little more, looking over at me, then back at her.

“I jumped up too quickly and accidentally kicked Damien in the dick.” She's now laughing so hard she has literal tears falling down her cheeks. Seeing her laugh like that does something to me. Jesus, her laugh is addicting. Reyes starts laughing with her.Fucking asshole.

“Damn, are you okay dude? I’m sorry, I'm not trying to laugh, but it is kind of funny.” He chuckles.

“Want me to kick you in the dick while you’re sleeping? Then we will see how funny it is.” I joke back. Luis stands and stretches, bending down, he kisses Raven on the head.

“Alright, I’ll go start breakfast. Raven, you wanna help with coffee?” He questions. She's finally stopped laughing long enough to take a breath.

“Sure thing boss. I’m going to assume y’all don’t have my creamer here, so I guess I will have to work with what you do have.” She sasses, following him to the kitchen. Looking over at Reyes, I grab the couch pillow and throw it at him, but all that does is make him laugh some more. Getting up, we both head to the kitchen to help out.

Sitting down at our little table, we start to eat. Me being the one to try and break the ice, I look over at Raven and clear my throat.

“So, umm, we have a question. And I need you to tell us honestly, because I will beg you for the answer if I have to.” I tell her, trying not to chuckle at the last part. I’m not opposed to begging if she won’t tell us what that creepo said last night.

“What’s the question? I mean, I’ll answer as best I can, but making you beg sounds pretty good though.” She winks as she takes a sip of her coffee.

“The creep last night, before we left, what did he say? I know we’ve said this before, and we haven’t known each other long, but we can read your body language and that's the first time we’ve ever seen anyone get that reaction from you.” Her eyes squeeze shut and she lets out a long breath. Me and the guys all quickly share a questioning glance, then look back at her.

“Guys,” she whispers out, “I honestly don’t know what to think about what he said, and I'm not sure y'all are ready to hear it. If I tell you, this doesn’t get back to your uncle or Eddie. Got it? I’m a big girl, I can take care of shit myself.” She finishes, giving each of us a stern look.

At this point, I don’t know if she's telling us that or herself. Whatever the fuck she is about to say, is probably going to set us all on edge.

“Just tell us, Tesora.” Luis encourages,grabbing her hand. She takes a deep inhale before she begins.

“When he walked up to me, he asked why I was in Sinful instead of at Sirens, where I normally am. Then went on to say how he has seen me there a few times with Naomi. He knew our names! I feel like that’s what freaks me out the most.” She starts physically trembling, and goddamnit I never want to see her this way. She isn’t some scared little girl. Hell, I know for a fact she would gladly fight all three of us. Seeing her this freaked out means it triggered something for her. Fuck that.

Reyes stands abruptly, causing Raven to jump as he starts pacing the room. Grabbing her other hand I start rubbing soothing circles on the back of it.

“This is why I didn’t want to say anything. I just wanted to keep it bottled up, like everything else.” She whispers, and I notice tears forming in her eyes.Oh, fuck no. This guy doesn’t get to make her cry.Getting up, I crouch down beside her.

“Listen to me, you don't give him your tears. You aren’t going to let him win, you got it, Angel?” I demand, running my hands up and down her legs.

“Little Devil, no one gets to make you cry. Ever. We will help you figure out who the fuck this is. No matter the cost.” Reyes seethes. I don't know if I have ever seen him this agitated. Nodding her head up and down she replies,
