I beat my fists at his back. “I’m coming with you, let me down.”
He stormed out of the pub and into the car park. “Sometimes you drive me insane, Lacey, and I know what you’re trying to do to me and it’s fucking working.”
“I was enjoying a night out with friends. It’s not about you.”
He opened the car door and sat me down me in the passenger seat. I begrudgingly pulled the seatbelt over my shoulder, clicking it into place.
After securing himself and starting the engine, he glared at me, shaking his head. “Friends? Looked a lot more than friendly.”
“I’m a grown woman Carter, I don’t need rescuing by you.”
“Lacey, I know that better than anyone. But I’m here to protect you.”
“Behave, Carter. I don’t need protecting.” I laughed. “Unless you are going to turn up with condoms for me because that’s the only protection I need.”
“Lacey, don’t,” he growled.
I burst out laughing and glanced out of the car.
“Where are you taking me?” I asked, pointing in the opposite direction. “I live that way.”
“My house, we need to talk.”
Chapter 20
Carter
Iparkedthecarin the garage before we walked into the house. Ryan was sat at a desk, studying, the guy was so fucking conscientious, but I he was still the happiest guy there and when the four of us were arguing, which was quite a lot lately. Ryan grounded us, which made living together much calmer, dare I say bearable.
Kane lifted his head from his nap. He lazily, but obviously, eyed Lacey from top to toe and back again. I glared at him and turned to Lacey, but she wasn’t looking at Kane. No, she was smiling at Seb and he returned it with a grin.
“Coffee, Lacey?” Seb asked.
“Love one, thanks.” She walked towards him. Patting Ryan on his back as she strolled past him, her hand skimming his neck. Then she glanced over her shoulder at me and grinned.
Ryan twisted in his chair, touched his neck, and furrowed his eyebrows. “Looks like you two have been kissing. Have you finally made up?”
I puffed. “Her lips aren’t swollen from kissing me. I found her kissing Jack… and Blake.”
There was a growl in the room, and I flicked my head to Kane, because I was sure it came from him. I looked back at Lacey. “Seems my girlfriend…”
Lacey pointed her index finger in the air. “Ex-girlfriend,” she said, as did Kane and Seb at the same time.
I glared at everyone. “Seems that she is happy kissing everyone but me.”
“It’s only a kiss. What will you be like when they are swollen from giving everyone a blow job?”
“Lacey… I mean it, you’re going too far,” I hissed.
She smiled and when she heard titters from the guys she turned to look at each of them, saving a wink for Seb. He licked his lips, very provocatively and not only I noticed, but so did Kane who narrowed his eyes and shot a look of irritation in Seb’s direction.
“Stop fucking egging her on,” I hissed.
Lacey laughed and picked up her coffee and sat on the recliner, her legs underneath her as she took a sip of her coffee. “Mm, nice coffee Seb.”
“I aim to please,” he said, giving her a loaded smile.
“You definitely pleased. I’ll have more of those.” She laughed, thinking I didn’t know what she was laughing about, but I did. Because she was in tune with me, but she hadn’t realised it yet. I knew that she knew what I was thinking, but she didn't know I could do the same to her. Unfortunately, I knew she and Seb had a closer relationship than any of the other guys realised.
