Chapter 74
You’re Mine by Penny Brooks
Chapter 74
Easton
I'm going to kill someone today.
I'm sure of it.
Anger is boiling inside my chest. Nothing Harper says or does can calm
me down. I don't give a fuck if she ran into Blake in the hallway, if it was
by accident, if she didnât want to talk to him-I don't want her around
him.
Period.
I don't want her to even acknowledge that motherfucker exists.
Knowing my temper, I avoid him all day, so I don't try to fight him in
the hallway, but on my way to one of my last classes, I see him. He's
sitting on one of the tables in the cafeteria, talking to a girl I used to
fuck. The look heâs giving her is the same one he gave to Harper earlier.
A look that's never going to come across his face again.
I'm going to make sure of that.
I rush through the entrance and the second I reach him, I grab him by
the fucking collar and haul him up off the table. âYou want to talk to
Harper?â I blast at him. âYou talk to me first.â
He laughs like an egotistical cocksucker. âWhat, are you feeling
threatened, Easton? Worried she might like my cock more than yours?â
He smiles. âI'd be worried, too.â
âEaston!â Harper shouts from the doorway, rushing through the
cafeteria, her hands now on my waist, trying to get me to release Blake.
âDon't do this,â she pleads. âPlease don't do this.â
His smile grows as he says, âGonna listen to your girl?â
âI can't wait to hear this,â Aisha says, who's now joined us, standing
behind Blake. "This
is going to get good.â
A fire is licking through my veins as I continue to hold him by the
throat, my anger causing me to see red.
âI've fucking had it with you,â I tell him. âWith your bullshit, your lies,
the way you won't back off my girl. She's mine, Blake.â My teeth clench,
growling, âMine.â
âEaston, come on,â Harper cries from behind me, trying to unclench the
fingers of my free hand from the ball that they're in.
âMan, you talk a lot of shit,â Blake goads, his lips wide, almost comical
like The Joker. âBut that's all you are-full of shit. You've got nothing to
back yourself up. No balls. Just
I'm fucking done.
I shake Harper away and rear my arm back, my fist aiming for his nose. I
punch him with all the strength I have and the second my skin connects
with his, a sharp pain explodes through my knuckles.
Harper's scream fills my ears.
Aishaâs gasp echoes through the room.
And the blood that gushes from Blake's nose only adds to the red I'm
already seeing.
âFuck me!â Blake shouts, covering his face, the blood dripping through
his fingers.
I feel no relief at all, the hate is still running through me.
My arm moves back again and Harper shouts, âNo! Easton, that's
enough!â
But it's not enough
Because even though heâs covering most of his face, I can still see that
fucking smile.
âYou want more of me, you motherfucker?â I spit. âMove your fucking
hand so I can knock your ass out.â
âEaston,â Harper cries, âyou're going to get in trouble-"
âYou're right about that,â Leigh says from behind me, the feel of the
administrator's hand
clamping down on my shoulder immediately stops me from punching
Blake again. âYou're coming with me,â she orders, and then drags me
several steps back before she says to Blake, âGo to the nurse right now
and get that nose checked out.â
Fighting her is a battle I won't win, so when her hand stays on my
shoulder, leading me out of the cafeteria and into her office, I say
nothing.
Only when she sits me in a chair in front of her desk do I start, âLeigh,â
She holds up her hand. âTake a breath, Easton.â
A breath?
Fuck that, I'm fuming.
There are parts of Blake's face that still need to be pummeled with my
fist.
I rake both sides of my hair, my hands twitching in anger. âYou need to
listen to me..."
âI need to listen to you?â She takes a seat on the edge of her desk, the
side that's closest to me. âYou know that isn't the way this works. I'm
the one in control here.â As she swings her legs in the air, her skirt rides
higher on her thighs. âAnd this little stunt just landed you in a heap of
trouble.â She pauses. âYou know I can protect you but fighting in school
crosses a boundary.â
Trub across my knuckles. âHe deserved it.â
She sighs. âWhat am I going to do with you, Easton?â She begins to
play with the top button of her shirt. âYou probably broke his nose.
There are witnesses ...â The top button pops open, and her legs widen,
stretching the limits of her skirt. âThis is grounds for a week
suspension.â
I tug my hair at the roots. âA week?â
Fuck.
The school will notify my parents and my father will kick my ass for this.
He's all about me having a perfect record so I can get into the best
college and then go to law school.
âYou've got to work your magic,â I tell her. âI cant get suspended. How
about I serve a shitload of detention instead?â
âDo you think that's a sufficient punishment?â She unbuttons another
button, followed by a third, her legs spread so wide now, I can see her
red, lace panties.
That's where sheâs going with this?
Oh shit
âI think detention is plenty,â I tell her, âespecially if you stick me with
that snore-fest, Mr. Jones.â
The last button unhooks, and she slides her shirt open, revealing a
matching bra. She leans forward, her tits spilling out of the cups that
are trying to hold them in. âHere are your options-you can come to my
house tonight and serve me or you can serve your five-day suspension
at home. Your choice.â
An ultimatum.
One that involves her pussy.
Anger bubbles through me, but a much different kind this time.
âWhat about your husband?â I ask.
"He's out of town for the week.â
âLeigh ..." When I shake my head, my stare falls to her tits. I remember
them fondly and the way she rode my cock until she was fucking
screaming. â -.-" I cut off, not sure how to respond.
Her stare drops to my dick and she slowly licks across her lips.
âRemember that phone call from Harper's mom the other day that
dismissed her from school?â She pauses, allowing my memory to catch
up. âI can easily lose that paperwork. I wonder if Harper's parents will
let her date you when they find out you're a bad influence on their
daughter.â
I can go to Leigh's place tonight and cheat on my girl.
Or I can earn myself a week suspension and get Harper in just as much
trouble, jeopardizing our relationship when her parents find out I was
the reason sheâs suspended.
Leigh's balls are as big as Blake's.
âWhat's your answer, Easton?â
