A Hurt So Sweet Volume Two (Elite of Eden Falls Prep 2)

Dexter's enraged eyes go to mine, and I almost expect him to hit me, flinching away from the slap that never lands on my cheek.

"I see she's been telling you all her secrets," Dexter says. "Well, I think that's over now. Now, you're going to watch me show you who she belongs to, since there appears to be some confusion over who owns Pandora Oakes."

"Nobody owns me," I throw out. "Maybe that's why I prefer Easton’s company over yours. Because he doesn't treat me like property like the rest of you."

Dexter smirks at me. "You really are fucking naive, aren't you, Pandora? He's just like the rest of us."

"No, he's not," I'm quick to come to my new friend's defense. "He's a league above everyone else in this fucked-up town, especially you Firstborns."

"We'll see," Dexter drawls out, giving Easton a knowing look. "Julian, Caspian, hold him the fuck down. We've got a little show to put on. Remember Pandora, bad toys get broken."

The two guys obey his order instantly, restraining Easton and grabbing him by the arms. They drag him away from me, and even though Easton tries to fight them, both of them together are too strong for him.

"Dexter, what are you doing?" I demand. "We can all just walk away from this now, it'll be like nothing happened. Don't do anything stupid. You know you're already in trouble with my father."

"Oh, you suddenly remembered?" he hisses at me. "I thought you conveniently forgot all about that. Not that I give a shit. I take what I want, toy."

He makes a grab for me, and I break out into a run, one last attempt to get away from him. But Dexter's too fast, his legs longer and besides, he's physically stronger than I ever will be. He grabs me by the waist, dragging me back before Easton.

"Heard about your little kiss," Dex gets out through gritted teeth.

Fuck. How does he know about that?

"I have eyes and ears everywhere," he goes on, as if he can hear the thoughts in my head. "So don't think you can get away with the bad shit you've been doing lately, Pandora."

"Why would I still answer to you?" I hiss. "We're not engaged anymore. I'm nothing to you now."

"That's up for discussion," he tells me coolly. "And I like to keep an eye on my property."

"I'm not your fucking property." I kick him in the shin, but he just laughs, making me realize just how powerless I am against his iron fist.

With a single rip, he tears my blouse open down the front. Buttons fly everywhere and I gasp as he rips my bra open next, leaving me exposed in front of the other three guys.

"Dexter!" I hiss, attempting to cover up my chest, but he won't let me.

He pins my arms behind my back, standing behind me and biting down on my neck hard enough so I know he'll leave a bruise.

"Look at what you can't have, Brantley," Dex says to Easton. "You really are fucking obsessed with what's mine, aren't you? It's just such a shame they all end up choosing me in the end."

"You're fucking sick, Booth," Easton mutters.

His brows are knitted together, but he hasn't taken his eyes off me yet. His gaze is glued to my nipples that are getting harder and harder in the chilly autumn air. Fuck. I hope the players can't see this from the field. I don't want Brazen seeing me like this. It's so messed up that no one is attempting to break this gang up. I guess even the football team's coach is turning a blind eye to the actions of the Firstborns.

"You're the sick one," Dexter tells Easton. "You're the one fucking looking when you know you can never fucking have her. You know, Brantley, all I fucking asked was for you to bend the goddamn knee. But you refused. And what for? Just to make a poor little bitch suffer?"

"I'm not a bitch!" I cry out, thrashing my body against his to no avail.

"Shut up, toy," Dexter growls in my ear, making a grab for my bare tits.

His touch is rough, leaving marks on my skin and making me shiver. Fuck. I hate that he makes me feel this way. I hate that he makes me need his cruel touch.

"Goddamn it, Booth, let's see some good stuff," Caspian calls out from his spot on the lawn. "I want pussy. I've seen those tits a thousand times now."

"Your wish is my command," Dexter replies mockingly. "You know, Easton, if you'd asked nicely, I would've let you have a go with her... but you fucked up your chances now."

He pulls my skirt down, leaving me exposed in nothing but a thong. I'm shivering, cold and fucking scared as hell as they drink me in.

"Thong off," Julian demands, and Caspian starts nodding along with his request. "Let's see her bare."
