Now I was confused. One minute he didn’t want her to come, the next he did. I wasn’t even sure what it was anymore.
“Good. Let’s go.”
“Not so fast,” Gideon said, grabbing her arms. “Deals are made with a give and take. You’re doing a lot of taking, and not a whole lot of giving.”
“Then tell me what you want.” She didn’t push him away.
“You, in our bed, ours, completely this time.”
My confusion went out of the window and was replaced by understanding. Someone wanted to fuck their girl and it made total sense. I got it. Phew. I was starting to think I was a bit thick on the update.
“What?” Sian asked.
“You heard me. We’ll fight in your corner. We’ll tell you everything. You won’t be left out on any of the details, but in return, you’ve got to learn to belong to us completely. No holding back. When we kiss you, you kiss us back. When we fuck you, you get the drill.”
I could make so many jokes about that, but I kept my mouth shut as I knew how important this arrangement was.
Staring between the two of them, I waited.
Was it good if the woman played hard to get? Sian didn’t say a word.
“No arguments?” she asked.
“None.”
“Everything?”
“Yes.”
I waited.
“Fine. Deal.” She held her hand out to Gideon’s, which he took, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. “When do you want it to start?”
Gideon captured the back of her neck, pulling her close and tilting her head back. He leaned in as if to kiss her. “Right now, but first, we’ve got a coach to go and see.”
He let her go, and if I hadn’t reached for her, I had a feeling she’d have fallen.
We all left the house, going to Gideon’s car and driving toward the school. Dante sat up front with Gideon, while Sian sat in the back between me and Mateo.
“How is Fred?” Sian asked.
“Fine. He’s doing well.”
“Good.”
I wanted to ask about the library, but I kept it to myself.
“We need Heather’s laptop,” Gideon said. “Do you think you can get it?”
“I should be able to. Her parents don’t like me very much. I’m hoping they haven’t sold it.”
“They would do that?” I asked.
She looked at me and nodded. “It’s what Heather said. Her parents weren’t exactly impressed with her. She once told me that they hated how she talked down to them. She never did. Heather wasn’t like that.”
“She was a good person,” Gideon said.
“Is anyone forgetting she took Sian’s first kiss?” I asked.
“Now’s not the time for jokes,” Dante said.
When was there a time for jokes? I wasn’t joking. I was sad about Heather’s death. Her passing showed our failure to properly take care of her, which pissed me off.
I sat back in my seat and ignored the tense silence filling the car. It was hard to pretend everything was fine.
Gideon had just given Sian an ultimatum to get her back into our bed. Not that I had a problem with that. I missed our Sian. I wanted to touch her, kiss her, fuck her. To feel her tight pussy wrapped around my dick. Some nights I woke up in a sweat trying to imagine it, but nothing helped ease the ache and yearning I felt.
I was being completely selfish in my need, and for now, I didn’t give a fuck.
Selfish or not, Sian was the one I wanted.
With no music to fill the car, I felt this overwhelming need to just speak, to blurt out anything random.
“Who are you going to fuck first?” There I said it. I broke the silence.
Sian looked at me with a frown.
I shrugged. “I’m bored. Sorry. I don’t handle tense situations well.”
“Shut up!” Gideon said.
Sian laughed and rested her head against my chest. “Thank you, William.”
“Is this where you tell me I’m going to be at the bottom of the need to fuck?” I asked.
“Do you want to be at the top?”
“This isn’t the time or place,” Gideon said.
“This coming from the guy who already knows how amazing it is to be inside her. Fuck off, and don’t rain on my parade. Yes, I want to be at the top.”
Sian put her hand on my thigh. She didn’t move up or down and I covered her hand with my own.
“I’ve missed you,” I said.
“I missed you, too.” She pressed a kiss to my lips.
I was about to deepen the kiss when we came to a stop.
Gideon smirked at me through the window, and I wanted to beat the crap out of him. It would do him well to be taught a lesson about manners. Fucker.
“We’re here,” Dante said.
Sian licked her lips. “Right, let’s do this.”
“Do we have a plan?” William asked.
“I’m going in first,” Sian said. “He was at the funeral and said that if I ever needed to talk, I knew where to find him.”
“He did?” Dante asked.
“Yes. I figure I can distract him and then when you guys are in position, one of you can grab him, or something. I don’t know. I haven’t really thought it through,” Sian said.
“You’re not going to try and seduce a teacher,” Gideon said.
“I’m going to try to find the person responsible for killing my friend. I’m willing to do anything.”
Again, this was too much for me. “Including anal?” I asked.
I had to be shot, or put down. My mouth was like a leaking tap.
Everyone turned to me. Now, call me an idiot but my friends looked … happy. Sian a little confused, and well, I wasn’t really sure what I was thinking or feeling when I randomly blurted out questions.
“I think Sian has an awesome plan. Anything that works is awesome,” I said.
“And getting your dick wet in the process is always a good plan for you?” Mateo asked.
“No one asked you.” I turned to my friend, who chuckled. I had no respect in this group.
Sian shoved my shoulder. “We’re wasting time here. Get out. I want to get this done with.”
I felt the tremble in her arms, and I wanted to help her, but there was nothing I could do but show as much support as possible.
Sian went on ahead, even as Gideon wished to argue. I liked that she didn’t allow him to push her to submit to him. She had a spine, a backbone, and it hadn’t been bent with everything that happened.
With her several feet in front, we took the back route, knowing how to get into the gym without Coach finding us.
“Why did you do that?” I asked as we headed across the grounds to where the gym was.
I was thankful Gideon didn’t try to play dumb, which was a huge relief.
“You know why I did it. She’s too busy wallowing in her guilt. We have to draw her out, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make that possible. I’m not trying to hurt her. Just … I want her to be happy with us.”
We all wanted the same thing. Sian happy with us, but at this very moment, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
We entered the gym, and there wasn’t anyone around. We moved toward the Coach’s main door and saw it was already open.
