Slamming the door closed on him, I turn and head for the shower, Amelie’s cries of my name echoing through my mind, making my dick twitch in anticipation.
Chapter Sixteen
Amelie
I spend most of Sunday catching up on schoolwork. I don’t know if it’s missing over a month’s worth of school, or having a whole new schedule, but I’m really feeling the pressure.
Susan pings with an alert and I snigger before I’ve even read it. First thing this morning I accessed the tracker app that Sawyer had mentioned and reassigned tags to each of the Knox brothers, and changed some of the school locations on the map.
Stalker is in his whore house.
I laugh. Kalen is in his room then. At least I’m safe. I set Susan up to alert me of their movements so that I can avoid all things Knox, and so far Susan has been pinging left, right and centre all morning. The boys have been very prolific for a supposed day of rest, busy running around all over campus. I wonder why.
My phone buzzes this time and I sigh without needing to look at it. My ride is here. Maybe I should speak to them about the whole car situation again. I have one, so why shouldn’t I use it? Monty promised to send it over, but it never materialised. Why?
It’s time to go and play nice with the incubator. My stomach twists in knots. More than ever, I really don’t want to go. I can’t imagine how I’m going to manage to sit beside those Knox boys and act normal.
Traipsing down to the limo, I sigh. I know it’s stupid that I kinda hoped Sawyer would be waiting, but I know he can’t be at my constant beck and call. Sliding into the back seat of the limo, I pointedly ignore the driver who is not Larry and stare out of the window. My phone buzzes again, and I look down at the message.
Sawyer
I’m sorry I couldn’t pick you up. Dad has kept me busy all day. I’m sure it was on purpose.
Amelie
Don’t worry about it. The incubator sent a limo. Ugh.
Sawyer
Well, I’d much rather be in the limo with you. It’s better than driving...hands free ;)
Amelie
Behave!
Sawyer
As if you even know the meaning of the word. Get here soon. I’ve missed you x
I smile and slip my phone back into my pocket. Okay, maybe this meal won’t be so bad.
Wrong.
As soon as the limo pulls up outside the house and I see Laura waiting alone for me on the doorstep, trepidation fills me.For the briefest moment I wish I still had Kalen and the twins by my side. Kalen especially was always willing to take Laura on.
Climbing out of the limo, I set my shoulders, lift my chin and narrow my eyes at Laura.
“To what do I owe the pleasure?” I ask not bothering to keep my tone in check.
“You need to stop trying to ruin my life.”
“Stop being so dramatic, you have the ring on your finger. You’re golden.” I push past her and she grabs hold of my wrist.
“I’m not joking, Amelie, stop with the stunts and sleeping with your stepbrother.”
“You stop. You ruinedmylife not the other way around. Don’t think for one second that I have forgotten anything you did to me in the past. I don’t care how nice you try to be, I will never forgive you...and I will sleep with whomever I please. And that includes my stepbrothers. Plural, bitch.” I snatch my wrist back from her grasp and go inside to find anyone other than her.
I stop short when I reach the sitting room. All of the guys are together, talking. I hadn’t really thought about how dinners would go with us all under the same roof. Sawyer spots me first and smiles, getting up from his seat. He crosses the few feet between us and pulls me into his arms, his kiss lingering a little longer than needed.
