Ty cracked his knuckles. “Something is strange about her. I could see darkness and cunning in her eyes. I don’t believe for a second she doesn’t have secrets of her own.”
“She’s coming by the firehouse this week,” Levi cut in. “I’ll see what else I can find out about her.”
I could feel my face getting hot with jealousy. “Why is she going to the fucking firehouse?”
Levi laughed, and I could practically feel the smirk in his voice. “Because saying yes to me pissed off Andras something fierce.”
Ty grinned darkly, and I narrowed my eyes at him. “She definitely enjoys taunting the devil. This is going to be fun.”
I was fucking fuming, but there was nothing I could do about it. I had to act like everything was fine to Sara’s face because Andras was right. It was too strange, her showing up and singling us out. But if she was…something, did that even matter? I was falling hard for the girl already, and my heart beat erratically at the thought of her spending time with any of them. I schooled my features and conceded to the stupid plan. Ty left the bar without another word. If she fucked Levi, I would give her up. I’d let the devils take her without a backward glance. Probably.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Sara
“Good morning, Nova,” Tibby’s chipper voice blared into my earpiece, and I cringed. It was too early for loud noises. I mean it was almost noon, but still. Too many whiskeys last night and my head was pounding. I prayed my weird super healing abilities would take away the hangover soon.
“No, it is not a good morning. Something is wrong with the Princes.” I gulped down my coffee as I stripped out of my oversized T-shirt and stepped into the shower.
Tibby’s voice immediately switched gears. “Why do you say that? There’s been nothing out of the ordinary with their movements. Andras was snarky as ever in class.”
I huffed, recalling his incessant questions as he picked on me for all the answers. I had to force myself to answer incorrectly a few times so he wasn’t suspicious. The smug look on his face every time he corrected me had my fucking blood boiling while Tibby laughed in my ear. He’d given us assigned seats, forcing me to the front row, and I didn’t entirely hate it. He was so goddamn beautiful. I soaped up my body as I remembered the way his muscles bulged in the Armani suit, tailored perfectly to fit his athletic form. He wasn’t as broad as Ty or even Levi, but he was sculpted to perfection. I had to squeeze my thighs together to keep my horniness in check during his lectures and I swear his nostrils flared and his eyes dilated when he walked by, as if he could sense my arousal.
My hands dipped lower, and I brushed my fingers between my legs slowly, feeling a different kind of wet between my thighs.
“Hello? Wake up, Nova,” Tibby shouted through the speaker of my phone, bringing me out of the very dirty daydream I was sinking into fast.
I quickly grabbed the shampoo and started aggressively washing my hair instead.
“Andras seemed mostly his asshole self, but Devon was all wrong last night. He wouldn’t look me in the eye, and his smiles were tight. When I asked if he was okay, he just said he had a bad business meeting. Do you think he figured something out about me?”
Tibby typed faster, the clicking ringing like tiny shots firing in my brain, and I breathed through the pounding in my head.
“He’s at the bar now, and I didn’t see anything strange, but—”
“But what?” I cut in, my anxiety rising. If they figured out who I was before my plans had barely come together, I was fucked.
“Wednesday night, after Ty was at the club, I checked cameras the next day and there was some kind of glitch for the two inside Dev’s bar. I’m not sure why. If someone tampered with them, they did an excellent job of hiding that fact. Right now, it’s like they shorted out for all of twenty minutes, then went back to working like normal.”
I mulled that over. The cameras Dev had in his bar weren’t high quality. They could malfunction, as technology does, but because of who he is, I’m not so sure.
“I don’t want to rule anything out. Keep checking to see if you can find out if the cameras were tampered with. I can set up one of our own cameras in the bar.” I frowned, because, duh. Why didn’t I do that in the first place? I was being lazy letting Tibby hack into his. I wouldn’t make that mistake again.
“Yeah, that’s probably smart. I’ll leave a camera for you at the club. I’ll be there tonight,” Tibby added casually, her voice changing sultry.
I smiled, stepping out of the shower and drying off. “Got Ryan wrapped around your little finger now, do you?”
Tibby’s Tinkerbell laugh carried through the speaker. “Obviously. Tonight I’m going for Josie.”
I arched an eyebrow at my phone. “Josie? Since when?”
“Since now. She’s hot. I’d like to get them both in my bed. Do you think she’d go for it?”
I laughed. “Josie is 100% into pussy. She has no interest in sucking or fucking a cock. But she is kinky. So maybe if you were in the middle…”
Tibby let out a sexual moan that made my skin flush. “That sounds fucking divine. Can you try real hard not to have any drama tonight so I can live out that fantasy?”
I grinned. “I’ll do my best. I’m heading to the firehouse in a couple hours and plan to hit up the gym before going to the club.”
