Page 79 of Brutal Little Secrets

Evan bites her lip like she doesn’t mind that idea. I glance around the park. It’s abandoned. Would she let me fuck her here? Pull those panties to the side and slip inside her? Fuck her hard against a tree? Does the anticipation of getting caught turn her on?

“We’d need to set up cameras in his bedroom. She can meet me there and find us together. I want to show Chase the video when I finally let him know I have you. Just to rub it in his face that I fucked you in his bedroom.” Damon rubs his chin. “Setting up the cameras won’t be as easy as Evan’s place was though.”

“There’s a party tonight.” Cam leans forward. “All we need to do is get close enough to grab Chase’s keys.”

“I can get close enough.” I run a hand through my hair. When Annie’s blue-gray eyes lock with mine, I smirk. “He thinks we’re acting buds.”

“Maybe.” Annie takes a drink and looks at each of us as she says, “But I would be able to keep him close and distract him from figuring out they’re gone.”

“No.” Damon narrows his gaze on her like she offered to take Chase up to a room.

Annie rolls her eyes. “It’s acting, Damon. I don’t need to do anything but pretend to be interested in him for a few hours while you guys go to his house and plant the cameras.”

“Have you been in his room?” Cam asks, thinking.

“He let me use it to change into my bathing suit one time.” Annie arches her eyebrow at Cam, waiting for what else he’s going to say.

“I’m going to need to see that bikini, Annie.” I wait for her because I know that will bring her attention back to me.

Her gaze flicks to mine. Her eyes darken. So many things we haven’t done.

“There’s a pool at Damon’s house. Care to go for a midnight swim?”

“Later.” She smiles and returns her attention to the others. “I can probably draw a rough map of the house if that’s what you’re looking for.”

“Or you could come with.” Damon smirks. “I’ll set up the cameras while you poke around his room to see what you can find. And we can double-check the setup by recording me fucking you.”

She releases a little breath. “What if Chase is already compromised? What if Olivia told him about you saying I’m yours in the bathroom? I didn’t deny it.”

We all pause. Olivia can be a vindictive bitch, but she also wants Damon. She wouldn’t want people to think she’s in competition with Annie and losing. It’s possible she’d tell Chase to get Annie in trouble or make Chase double down on getting her back.

“Don’t find yourself alone with him, goody.” Cam runs a hand through his hair. “We need to make sure Evan is never out of our sights at either party. If he knows he’s already lost you, he might do something rash.”

Annie shivers. Having to pick her up in the middle of nowhere was bad enough. Chase could do a lot of damage to our girl if he thought he could get away with it. Yeah, I don’t want Chase anywhere near her.

“This is a bad idea. We don’t know if Chase knows that I claimed her. I’m not telling Olivia it was a joke, because fuck that bitch.” Damon stands and takes his trash over to the waste bin. “I’m not risking Evan for my revenge.”

“You aren’t.” Annie stands and walks over to him. “He’s not going to get his hands on me ever again.”

Damon slides his hand into her hair and lowers his forehead to hers. He closes his eyes and breathes.

It feels strangely intimate, like something I shouldn’t be seeing, but also something that was inevitable. How could we have Annie in our lives without her pushing her way into our hearts?

Impossible.

“I’ll get you the keys and keep Chase occupied.” I ball up the paper from my sandwich.

“Or,” Annie says as she walks over to me and sits on my lap, “You challenge Chase to beer pong. I get the keys while he’s distracted, and you keep him occupied with the game while we’re gone.”

“Have I mentioned how brilliant you are?” I lean in and kiss her. “I’m going to fuck you so hard tonight.”

Her blue eyes are bright when I pull away. “Why wait until tonight?”

“We need to get back to school.” I kiss her again. “Can’t have you late to your next class.”

She sighs and stands.

“We need to figure out timing and find a way to turn off the alarm system.” Damon pulls her against him. He drags his thumb over her lips. “Later tonight, little devil, you’re taking all of us.”
