Jesus. He could lose me the only job I’ve wanted in my life before I’ve even started it.
The orgasms were good. But they weren’t that fucking good.
“Nah, only the really hot ones.”
“Careful, from what I’ve heard, your girl is having MMA lessons from the biggest bad-arse in town. I’d hate for her to ruin this pretty face.”
He laughs at my response and the sound immediately relaxes me—that and we finally spill out of the building, allowing me to suck in some much needed fresh air.
No more words are said between us as we walk toward his BMW.
It doesn’t matter how many times I might slide into one of their cars, disbelief always slams into me.
These annoyingly handsome and terrifyingly dangerous boys have the most insane cars. I don’t want to think just how much it is to insure them, let alone how much they cost to buy. It’s utterly mind-boggling.
“So, how was your first day at Knight’s Ridge College, Miss Andrews?” he asks after dumping my bag in the boot and joining me.
“Do you have to call me that?”
“Why? Is it what Nico uses in the bedroom?” His brows wiggle and I groan. “Sorry, sorry. Bad joke. He’ll be okay with this, you know,” he assures me.
“No offence, Tobes, but I don’t think any of us can predict how he’s going to react to anything right now.”
“You should have just told him last night.”
“He was wasted. He never would have remembered.”
“He’s a prick.”
“Something we can agree on.”
Folding my arms over my chest, I let out a heavy sigh.
“Today was okay though, right? This place is going to give you everything you need to finish your training?”
I twist around to look at him, reality slamming into me.
“It was you.”
He glances at me, his face a mask of innocence, which we both know is total bullshit. I’ve seen exactly what this boy is capable of, and there isn’t an innocent bone in his body.
“Oh, don’t give me that butter-wouldn’t-melt look, Tobias Doukas. The reason I’m even here right now is down to you, isn’t it?”
He clucks his tongue. “I just pulled in a few favours. I didn’t know if it was even a possibility.”
“Toby,” I sigh.
“It was nothing, Bri. Just helping out a friend.”
There are so many things I want to say to him, to chastise him for going out on a limb for me. It’s not like anyone other than Jodie ever does it for me. But in the end, I swallow those words and go with the most important.
“Thank you,” I whisper, my voice oddly choked.
“You’re one of us now, Bri. We look after our own.”
“I’m not though, am I? And now I’m here, I probably shouldn’t even be spending time with you. Pretty sure that’s against the rules.”
“You knew us first,” he argues.
