TWELVE

Stop Being a Brat, Pres

The Donovan brothers have ruined me for any other men. That is all.

-Presley

Your twenties are supposed to be about living in the moment and letting loose. Yet, the Donovan brothers are anti-fun when it comes to me.

Especially since the party, which I do understand. I'm not sure I'll ever be the same, but if anything it's given me more of a will to live.

What if Drew would have taken my virginity? I once thought of it as a gift, but now I'm not so sure.

Gunner has put me on Zoloft for six months, and we will reevaluate then. Now that it's gotten in my system, I can tell the difference, and I'm thankful. There's no shame in needing help.

Last night I brought up me dating again, but they're still being cockblockers. They think I still have some healing to do. I'm not denying that, but I also don't want to waste any more time. I almost died! I’ve waited most of my life, and I don’t want to waste another minute.

What would it hurt them if someone bent me over a table and just railed me from behind? The answer is it wouldn't. Not at all. Not even a tiny bit.

Huffing my frustration into the air, I throw my backpack over my shoulder. Out of nowhere, a hand slams up against the hood of my car making me scream.

My stepbrother's easygoing laughter rings through the air. "Don't be an asshole, Kai."

He hooks his free arm through mine, but not before giving me a captivating grin. I hate him. "Don't be like that, Pres. Are you ready for Gunner's lame-ass lecture?"

Yes, I'm always ready when it comes to you, and Gunner. "Absolutely not. I'm not ready for this semester to begin at all."

What I want to add is... do you think you and Gunner can take me on his desk? Because 10 out 10 I would recommend!

Although Gunner's checked in almost every waking hour, I haven't seen him much this week. They still don’t have any leads on the murders, so he’s been on call 24/7 at the Asylum.

My heart has missed him. Without both of them with me, I feel incomplete. Which is a big reason why I need to start dating. Red flags are going off in my brain by the thousands.

What good will come from me dating my stepbrothers? Besides orgasms for days, I've got nothing. We couldn't be together long term, and I couldn't just keep one. No, I want them both.

Kai, and I have always been joined at the hip while Gunner works.

Unless he's at Rugby practice, or at a party, he's basically up my ass.

I have no clue when he has time to hook up with girls, but I'm glad I don't know any of the details.

Our relationship dynamic is my favorite until it's not.

With his attitude about me dating, I don't have time to hook up with anyone either.

Kai slides his hand down, and laces our fingers together. To say that my eyebrows shoot up to my forehead would be an understatement, I'm pretty sure they have flown up into orbit somewhere.

He doesn't make a big deal about it, so I don't either. "Why do you call me a Guard Dog but Gunner gets to be Daddy Dearest?"

I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing, but it doesn't stop a lopsided smile from forming. "How long have you been wanting to ask me that question?"

He smirks. "A while, now please answer the question."

"Since you're being such a good dog, I'll throw you a bone."

He drops my hand and tries to storm off. I chase after him laughing. "Come on, I was kidding. I'm sorry."

He takes my hand again with a huff. "You're always happy, you never complain about what I feed us, and any guy that comes near me you try to bite."

He smiles. "Okay, I'm not as upset about it. Will you call me daddy at least one time though?"

I laugh. "Ew! You wish."

I can't tell you how many guys Kai has scared away since I've been here at PHU.

When I complained to Gunner about it, all he said was, "Good."

I'm not usually this bitchy or tightly wound, but if I don't get some action soon I may combust on the spot. I've been thinking a lot lately that the only way to get my stepbrothers out of my system is to get with someone else. They'll be pissed, but what's new?

"Hello, earth to Presley." Kai waves his free hand in my face .

"What Kai?!" I yell way too loudly, and bring unwanted attention to us both.

When we round the corner of the nearby stairwell. He makes sure no one is around, and pushes me up against the wall. I wish he would have pushed me harder.

There's a storm brewing in his bright blue eyes, which makes me shiver with lust. "Why the fuck did you get so mad at me, Pres?"

When I don't answer, he leans down and sniffs the crease between my neck and shoulder. Bruh, what the hell? "Kai, did you just sniff me?"

Biting his lip, he groans slightly. "God help me. You smell so fucking good, Pres."

His words start a gentle ache between my thighs. "Answer me."

"No." I'm tired of always playing the peacemaker, and giving in. I'm done with acting like this confusing bullshit is okay.

Kai growls. "Why are you so mad at me?"

"I'm not doing this today, Kai, let's just go to class. Unless you want to smell me again or something weird like that." I'm being bitchy, but my give a damn's busted.

His tone turns playful, but I can tell that he's still pissed. "There's lots of weird shit I'd like to try with you, but this isn't the time nor the place."

Leaning down he licks my lips. “Does being this close to me make your pussy ache for my cock? I’m going to ruin you for anyone else, Princess.”

Grabbing my hair at the nape, he pulls it to the point of pain. "This is your final warning."

His face darkens as he waits for my reply, I rub my body up against his just to piss him off more. "Or you'll do what?"

Placing his hand on my throat he squeezes hard enough that I may have bruises in the morning. "Oh, you'll find out soon enough."

He rubs his erection against my belly. His movement sends shivers down my spine.

This isn’t fair, I want them both to the point of exhaustion.

The only thing that would make this moment better is if Gunner was here watching.

My wanting them turns to guilt. It's wrong to want them as fiercely as I do.

The sound of people making their way down the stairs tears us apart, but it doesn't stop the possessive look that crosses his face.

Taking his finger, he gently rubs my cheek. "Stop being a brat, Pres, you know how much I hate it when you're mad at me."

I swat his hand away. "I'm beginning not to care about that Kai. Bad dog!”

Walking away from him when we're in the middle of an argument is never easy, but I'm tired. I don't like it when he's mad at me either. However, if I want to have the full college experience, I need to make them see things my way.

Distancing myself away from them, at least for a little while is exactly what needs to be done. I just need time to explore what's out there and become the woman I'm supposed to be.

I’ve been busy on Twisted and I’ve got three potential dates lined up, the first being with Lionhart. He's asked me out for Friday night, and I’ve decided to say yes.

It’s the quickest I could get away from Kai anyways. So, it’s perfect. He’s got rugby practice, then afterward he’ll have to make an appearance at the party that the Kappa Deltas are throwing.

I have social media stalked the hell out of all three guys, and I already halfway know two of them as they’ve been in some of my classes. Why they aren’t scared of Kai, I have no clue. They haven’t brought him up and neither have I.

Lionhart, named Leo, is the only one I’ve never met. He just moved here from California, but I’ve vowed not to be scared of him until I have a reason to be. He does have an active social media profile though, so that helps me feel somewhat better about meeting him.

I hate keeping things from Kai and Gunner, but they really leave me no other choice.

I'm a terrible liar which does worry me. All it will take is for one of them to ask me a simple question, ‘like what are your plans for the weekend?’, and the words will fly so fast out of my mouth like I’ve got full blown diarrhea.
