“What do you mean they had you sign a contract, Kambree? What kind of contract?” Paxtyn asks suspiciously and now I’m regretting saying anything to her. If I tell her part of it, then I will have to come clean with everything and I don’t want to see any kind of sympathy in her eyes. I’m trying to be strong through all of this and if I see someone. feeling sorry for me, then I will break, and I refuse to give the Kings that satisfaction.
“Let’s just say that we will both be getting what we want.” I try leaving it at that but I’m learning very quickly that Paxtyn isn’t the type to get half–ass answers.
“If I know the Kings, which I do, it will all be S*xual for them,” she lowers her voice because we are beginning to draw attention, “You are still a virgin! You are going to give it up to them? The ones that treat you like shit?”
“You don’t understand, yes, they are assholes, but you don’t see them the way I do at times. It’s all a show, and I’m determined to find out what it is they are hiding. If handing them my V–card gets me closer to them, so be it. It’s not like I’m needing it for anything.”
“These are the Kings we are talking about, Kambree. They will find ways to humiliate you along the way, believe me, it’s what they do.”
“Well, let’s hope I give them exactly what they want, so they won’t want to humiliate me.” I grab my books because I already see Trip heading our way to walk me to class.
“Just please be careful, Kambree, and don’t f**king trust them!” My friend warns me just before Trip comes up to us.

I smile back, “I never said I did. I will see you later Paxtyn.” I wave and e you later Paxtyn.” I wave and
let Trip place his hand on my lower back.
“Hey Red, are you ready?”
“Sure am!” I grin and let him lead me away.
After my last class, it’s Garrett that is waiting for me, but he doesn’t seem like his usual self, so I frown, “What’s wrong?”
He pastes a smile on his face and then swings his arm across my shoulders. “Nothing for you to worry about, just some of my own family drama.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“Not really but I will tell you what I do want to do, actually, I will show you.” Before I know what he’s going to do, he cups my cheeks and k*sses me in the middle of the parking lot for all to see. It’s a little bit of a heated k*ss but it doesn’t last long before he’s pulling away and giving me his real smile. “There, that should do it.”
I bring my fingers up to my tingling lips, “That should do what?” I ask breathlessly.
“Haven’t you been hearing the whispers about everyone wondering everyone wondering what’s going on with you and the three Kings? Well, now they know. At least they know what’s going on between you and me, but I’m sure the other two will stake their claim to their property as well.”
The moment he says the word property my hackles rise. “Must you always remind me that all I am to you is property?” I turn and stomp the rest of the way to his Jeep.
The moment he gets to where I’m at, he spins me to face him, “First of all, don’t ever talk to me like that again and then stomp away like a

child! Second, I wasn’t meaning to remind you of anything, and if you ask me, it’s a compliment that you belong to us, when are you going to accept that?”
“No girl wants to be considered property, Garrett.” I pout.
“It’s a good thing you aren’t just any girl then, isn’t it?” He tucks some stray hair behind my car, “You are so beautiful when you pout; do you know that?” His lips come back to mine for another heated k*ss, this time with a little tongue action that I join in on. I might as well enjoy it if I have to do it. It’s not like k*ssing any of the Kings is a real hardship: I just wish they weren’t assholes.
When he pulls away, he opens the door for me and waits until I’m in before closing it and then walking around to his own side. That is when I notice people staring and whispering as they watch us. There is a specific group of girls who I recognize as the ones that were hanging as the ones that were hanging all over the guys at the party. They are now all glaring my way, and instead of smiling victoriously like I want to, I just look away because I get a chill that runs all the way down my back. If looks could kill, I would definitely be dead by the way all three girls are glaring at me.
“What’s wrong, Kammy? You look upset.”
I give Garrett a little smile, “It’s nothing, just some people don’t seem to be big fans of me.”
His eyes sweep the campus until they land on the glaring trio, “Well, I wouldn’t worry about them, especially when you have this…” He grips my chin and crashes his mouth into mine, giving the fuming women another show. I want to pull away so bad, but the k*ss is pulling me in at the same time, so I give in to that because it’s so much easier.
“Where are we going?” I ask when he turns in the opposite direction

from the house.
“You have a doctor’s appointment remember? We told you last night. that we would remedy that today.” He grins.
“You were able to get me in this soon? Usually, it takes at least a week. for non–emergency reasons.” He gives me a look as if to say, “Really?”
“Do you not know who you are living with?” Garrett muses as he shakes his head. “I could call right now and tell them that I’m bringing you in for a scratch and they will make time to see you, Kammy.”
“Fine, but my insurance card is back at the house.” I cross my arms as I stare out the window.
“You won’t need it because it’s already taken care of.” He informs me.
“Of course, it is…”
“Hey,” he places his hand on my knee and squeezes just enough to get my attention on him, “We weren’t lying when we said that we would take care of you, Kammy. We may be assholes, but we take care of our own, okay?”
I’m about to make a smartass comment, but then I see the look on his face, and know that he’s not meaning to be an asshole, so I nod, “Okay.”
“That’s my girl, now, let’s go get that shot because I honestly don’t know how much longer I can hold out!” He chuckles.
“Have you decided who the lucky bastard is that’s going to get it?” I ask him. I mean, I might as well know, so I can be prepared.
“Get what?”

I can’t help but to roll my eyes, “My V–card, duh?” Now it’s my turn to chuckle.
His brows furrow, “I guess we haven’t talked about that. We’ve just always thought we would get you to choose one of us.”
“I can’t do that; I can’t choose between the three of you because then the other two will always be thinking that I like the lucky bastard more.”
“Hm, you have a point there. I will talk to the guys, you don’t have to worry about that just yet.” He pulls the Jeep into a parking spot and then we enter the clinic.
It’s a small clinic but I notice right away that it’s for the wealthier side of Whitehaven. There are four other people sitting down waiting to see the doctor, but I’m the one that’s called before I can even find a seat.
“Don’t I have to fill out paperwork?” I ask Garrett in a lowered voice.
“Xander already took care of it for you.”
“I see.” This news disturbs me because he knows nothing of my family history and unless he’s had my medical records sent over, which he
need my signature in order to do that, then he knows shit about
- me.
We are in and out in ten minutes, the quickest I’ve ever seen a doctor. She asked me a few questions and then sent a nurse in to administer the shot. Garrett never left my side, but I highly doubt it was for support. He’s probably making sure that I actually get the birth control
shot.
As we walk out of the clinic, he pats my hip that got the shot, which is

still a bit sore, “You were such a good girl. You deserve a reward when we get home.” He chuckles at my gasp.
“You don’t need to be a dick,” I joke, “It’s still a little sore.”
“Oops, my bad.” He winks as he opens the door for me. Hurrying around, he jumps in and starts the Jeep, “You know, you should probably get used to pain because we are going to be hurting you so f**king good!”
I can’t help the laugh that bubbles up, “I can take quite a bit of pain, actually, so bring it Murdock!”
“Oh, we’re using last names now, are we, Hayes?” He grins as he stops at the stop light.
“Murdock is better than dick, isn’t it?” I shrug and reach for the radio just as we start moving again, “Do you mind…”
I never get to finish my sentence because in that moment when I look over at Garrett, he goes to say something but then glances over my head and I see the horror just before I’m thrown to the side towards Garrett, only it’s the door that’s, pushing me over. A sharp pain shoots. through both my side and my leg, my head throbs as well. It all happens within seconds, but it feels longer.
I open my eyes just as a figure looks into the Jeep. I reach my hand out, “Help…”
But the figure never helps, instead they say, “This is your last warning. Leave Whitehaven or the next time will be your last!”
I try to search for Garrett, but I can’t turn my head, I’m stuck between the seat and the dash. I try feeling around but all I feel is wetness and when I bring my hand up, I see blood, lots of it.

“Garrett? Garrett, are you okay?” I try pulling myself up one last time, but I get really dizzy and then all goes black just before I pass out.
