Making Her Mine (Player Loves Curves 1)

“Trinity!” Sheena exclaims at me. “Stop.” She’s looking at Carter with fear in her eyes. Sheena’s been with users and cheats before, but I don’t ever remember her fearing any of her ex boyfriends. No, usually she’s the one that’s dishing it out.

I look at her and shake my head. Amazed, I can’t believe she’s okay with him asking me for a trio but she’s not okay with me calling him out on the trash he is. I turn back to Carter, ready to give him more lip when he crowds toward me again. “Why don’t you find a skank to share your cooties with and leave my sister and me alone?”

Before I can back away, he has his hand gripped around my upper arm and his face is scrunched up in anger. When he doesn’t say anything, I realize it’s rage that I see in his eyes. He stares me down and he’s taking deep breaths. I’m hoping that he’s trying to calm himself down, but I don’t think that’s the case because his hand tightens on my arm. I’m pretty sure it’s going to leave a bruise. I refuse to go down without a fight, but I’m no match for him. He’s at least a foot taller than me and probably sixty to seventy pounds heavier. I look at my sister, but she’s just watching Carter and doesn’t look as if she’s going to jump in and help me. I close my eyes and open them, giving him my best go to hell look. I’m just readying myself for the blow, because I’m pretty sure he’s about to hit me.

He starts pulling me, but I stand strong, not moving. The harder I resist, the harder he pulls. When suddenly a strong hand on my other arm stops Carter’s progress.

I turn, thinking maybe, just maybe my sister came to her senses. But that’s not the case at all. Instead, Jasper Reilly has his big hand wrapped around my arm and he’s staring down at Carter. His gaze is fierce as he looks at his teammate.

“Hold on there, Carter,” Jasper says. “Trinity is here for her sister.”

Jasper

I don’t know who is madder, me or Carter. I’m seething and trying to stay calm at this point. I’m used to Carter acting up and being an ass. However, it’s never bothered me like this. Of course I’ve never seen him put his hands on a woman before either. He’s always been a pompous ass, but it seems like lately he’s getting out of hand. When I saw him grab on to Trinity, I saw red and I had no choice but to jump in.

When I pull her toward me, Carter releases his grip on her. She turns to me with a gasp and I can tell by the look on her face that she wasn’t expecting it to be me. Her face softens staring up at me and all I want to do is get lost in her eyes. But I don’t have that option. I drag my eyes from her and look over at Carter. We stare each other down and the look I’m giving him must tell him not to fuck with me at this point because he drops his hand from Trinity and walks back over to her sister. He puts his arm around Sheena and stares back at me. I look down at Trinity and she’s giving Carter the biggest dirty look I’ve ever seen. For a little thing, she sure does look intimidating.

Carter tugs Sheena in closer under his arm. “Whatever, we’re out of here.” They start to walk away, but I put my hand up in front of them and they stop to look at me. I glance at Sheena and then back at Carter. I don’t trust him and so I’m not going to take my eyes off him. “Sheena, you want to go with Trinity?”

She blows a bubble with her gum and starts chomping on it. She looks completely unfazed by the situation and that fact alone makes me dislike her even more. She’s been around the club a lot lately. She’s what some would call a “baseball bunny.” I don’t really care for her, but she’s always stayed away from me. Now, after the way she lets her “boyfriend” treat her sister, I’d say it’s wise for her to stay as far from me as possible.

“No, I want to stay with Carter.”

Carter looks at me smugly, and with venom in his eyes and tone he says, “There you have it.”

“Sheena.” Trinity starts to walk toward Sheena, and I move between her and Carter. “Let him cool down. Come home with me.”

I watch Carter closely and his eyes are fixed on Trinity, not the girl he has in his arm.

Sheena laughs and rolls her eyes. “You’re just overreacting like always.”
