Ahh, a romper.

It’s made of thin, bouncy material that stretches over her breasts and teases her pretty thighs. Several guys watch her like they’d love a chance to fuck her.

Over my dead body.

“…see the picture?”

I tear my gaze from the beauty in front of me to glare at Duke. His friend beside him is looking at Duke’s phone. They bothstart howling. I storm over to them and see what I fear is on his screen.

It’s her.

Addison.

Dainty fingers barely covering her nipples. The swells of her breasts can be seen around her hands. Her stomach is taught and silky-smooth. She’s wearing a pleated school uniform skirt and wearing a flirty grin.

Fucking perfect.

But no one needs to see this. She didn’t consent to this.

“You,” I roar, snatching the phone out of his meaty grip. “Renner’s office now. You too.”

His friend whines and gripes, but I won’t hear any of it. Addison, completely oblivious, shoots me a small, shy smile before glancing away. I want nothing more than to sneak away to the greenhouse to spend a few precious private moments with her before class starts, but now I have to destroy these little shits in the principal’s office.

This is beyond detention.

I hope Adam wipes his ass with these twerps.

Duke grumbles his complaints and something about he can’t get in trouble because of football, but I ignore it all. When we step into the admin office, I stalk right past the receptionist and into Adam’s office. Thankfully, he’s just returned back to school from his morning appointment.

“Possessing and sharing child abuse material,” I say in greeting. “I want them gone.”

Adam’s eyes widen at my furious expression. “What happened?”

When I explain what I saw and who it involved, Adam nodded as if not surprised. At least I know where Everett really got his information.

“Get back to class,” Adam says with a grim look. “I’ll handle these two. Looks like I may need to give Sheriff McMahon a call too considering the nature of the photo.”

“What?” Duke cries out. “Seriously, Principal Renner? You can’t do that. If I get arrested or expelled, I’ll be off the football team.”

Satisfaction burns through me. If only I could pluck up every asshole in this school who’s said a mean thing to Addison and drag them in here for similar punishment.

“I know you’ve been tackled one too many times,” Adam bites out, “but you’re smarter than this, man. This is bad. You’re eighteen and the girl in the photo is not.” He shakes his head and sighs. “Welcome to reality and adulthood and learning a lesson when you screw up.”

Fucking finally.

People need to pay for what they’ve done to that sweet girl.

Starting with dumbass Duke.

Chapter 7

Addison

Theo was late to class, and when he returned, he was vibrating with anger. If I had a moment alone with him, I’d have asked him what happened, but I didn’t. The whole school day was torture as I wondered what set him off. So, when the final bell rings, I’m practically jogging to the greenhouse for our club meeting.

Since I’m so early, the last class of the day is taking forever to leave the greenhouse. As I wait, I delete a few nasty texts from ex-friends. There’s also a text from a friend I don’t speak to anymore but miss terribly.

Savvy: Long time, no speak. You should come over and see the baby one day. I know it’s weird because of Rhett, but we’ve made amends since he moved to Moonlit Gables. I actually really love Abby.
