Page 82 of The Saviors: Part One

“He said he wanted to put it in my butt,” Chelsea answers with a nonchalant shrug.

Tyler chokes on his beer. “What?” he splutters.

Chelsea dies laughing. “That’s not what he said. He said he wanted to take me home and show me a good time. And I said I have enough of a good time at home. At the time, I meant Sean and Kai.” She looks around the room. “Now, there’s so many of you.” She laughs so hard that she snorts. She claps a hand over her mouth, but it makes her laugh harder.

“Is she drunk?” I ask.

“No. That’s just Chelsea,” Sean answers with a dreamy look.Jesus Christ.

Tyler sticks his head over her shoulder; nose scrunched in disgust. “What the hell are you eating?”

“Peanut butter and syrup. Don’t knock it until you try it.” She grabs another spoon, scoops some up, and hands it to Tyler.

He looks at it like it’s a science experiment. “You mean peanut butter and pancake syrup mixed together? And then you eat it?”

“No. I just fucking look at it. Yes. I eat it.”

Tyler’s eyes narrow. “You’re not innocent at all. You’re a smartass.”

She snorts. “I never claimed to be innocent. People just assume that.”

“You have the look down to perfection, Gorgeous.”

“How?” She scrunches her nose up.

“That right there,” Kai points out with a laugh. “That little nose scrunch, those big doe eyes, and blonde hair all scream innocent.”

“She screams, but it’s not innocent,” Sean mutters.

Ari smacks Sean on the back of the head. “Thanks,” Chelsea laughs, high-fiving Ari, then turns to Tyler. “Try it, chicken shit.”

Tyler takes a little taste, then shrugs. “Not bad,” he says, shoving the spoon in his mouth.

She nods toward it. “I licked that spoon.”

He licks the spoon inappropriately, causing her to blush again. “Yummy.”

“You’re as bad as Sean. Are you sure you guys aren’t related?” she asks.

“Trust us, Ladybug. We’ve asked that question plenty of times.” I watch her eyes get sad at the nickname and wish I could take it back.

“I think you need a DNA test,” she comments.

“Nah. We aren’t related. Plus, I’m way hotter,” Tyler says.

“Not,” she quips.

Sean throws his head back and laughs. “That right there is why Ilovethat woman.”

I see her smile at that, but I also see doubt. Sean is gone for her, and looking at Kai, he is too. She just needs to realize that.

Chelsea-two. The Saviors-zero.

Ichecked on Axel all night long. And each time, he was passed out without a care in the world, even with a giant knife wound.
