“I’ve got to go.” I brush past him and slide my phone out of my pocket, because I’m a masochist through and through.

Unknown Number

I’d sleep with one eye open when you come back, Astar Slut. You never know who’ll climb through your window to find out why your pussy is being passed between your brothers.

I breathe in through my nose and slowly let it out of my mouth.

Now he’s bringing Asher into this.

How the hell does he know so much when he’s back at Astar Elite?

I exit the thread and lock my phone before slipping it into my pocket with shaky fingers. I’m fifty shades of fucked-up because it’s turning me on to think of him using me for his pleasure when I return to campus.

There has to be someone I can talk to about this.

CHAPTER 27

ELIJAH

DAY 4 OF THE BET

Eden rounds the corner and disappears. She does that often—always running away from me and clutching her fucking pearls.

She isn’t as innocent as she’s making herself out to be. She was grinding her pussy against my dick and kissing me with as much vigor as I gave. No, she’s as filthy as me.

The good news is that I’m getting further along with her than I expected. The bad news is that I have three fucking days to sleep with her or I’ll lose the bet.

I gather my shirt and slip it on. The sweat slicking my body sticks the material to me like a second skin. I pull the collar and eye the house.

As much as I would love to shower, I need to meet with my father—see if he came to reason and changed his stipulations for me to get the inheritance.

The guys jog toward me and gather their shirts from the ground.

“What were you saying to her?” Gabe nods toward where Eden and I stood moments ago.

Daniel snickers. “Can’t be much. The freak never says more than two words.”

I level a glare at Daniel. “Bite your tongue.”

The brothers and Sebastian turn their full attention to me, all of their eyebrows raised.

“Did you just defend her?” Sebastian says.

Fuck. I did.

I don’t know what possessed me to say that. I can chalk it up to being fed up with everyone else doing my dirty work rather than doing it myself, but that would be a lie. Maybe it’s because I’m so close to winning this bet. If word gets back to Eden, she’ll know I defended her without her being around.

But fuck all of that. I’m not her knight in shining fucking armor.

I shake my head, hoping to chase away whatever the hell is going on in my mind.

“Forget about her,” I mumble.

“Right,” Daniel drawls. “Anyway, did you let Ashleigh know you’re back in town?”

I cringe.

She latched onto me after I took her virginity, and she’s the reason I never slept with inexperienced women again.
