Clubhouse…

“Fox Hill!” I shout to my brothers as I grab the dog tags and key around

hanging from the chain around my neck. We’ll try there first.

Clay takes out her phone, probably calling Krisjen. “Pick up, pick up…”

But after a moment, she grits out a Dammit and hangs up, dialing someone

else. “Milo, you asshole.” And then she hangs up again, Milo not answering,

either. “I’m calling the police,” she says. “I don’t care.”

But I push her phone down. “Don’t.”

She stares at me. “He’s going to hurt her.”

“They can hurt us.”

“Which is exactly what they want,” Dallas shouts from the front, eyeing

Clay in the rearview mirror. “You all live for this, don’t you? Are you that

bored? Need to slum to feel a little excitement once in a while? Huh?”

She narrows her eyes to slits, glaring back at him.

“You got this bitch messing around with Trace to make her boyfriend

jealous,” Dallas gripes, “and you’re doing the same thing, flashing your

fucking little ass around here and screwing with Liv’s head.”

I lock my jaw. Great. Thanks, Dallas.

But instead of yelling back at him, Clay jerks her head toward me. “I’m

not trying to make Callum jealous.”

“You came with him, didn’t you?” I look at her. “Tryst Six is just toys to

you.”

“That’s not true.”

“Shut up.”

I stare out the window, avoiding her eyes. I know I’m being unfair, but

Dallas is right. The shit is hitting the fan, and it’s all the Saints’ fault. If Iron

gets busted, we’re the ones who pay. Not Clay. She goes off to college in the

fall, her little dalliance in girl snatch a nice memory for her. What the hell am

I doing?

“You know,” she starts, her tone low and hard, “let’s stop pretending that

I am making you do anything you don’t want to do. If you were so angry with

me, you wouldn’t have come back to school. You wouldn’t have come back

to me.”

“I didn’t come back to you.”

She falls silent for a moment, and as we bounce over the tracks, I hear her

start to moan.

I turn toward her again.
