Chapter 0026
“Girl.” Looking at her, I laughed to tease her. Emmy was on the ground, trying to make her ankle injury go away with a rub.
“F uck, I know.” She sounded angry. Tossing her hands up, she looked pitifully up at the sky.
Alec gently took my chin as we straddled the log. I kept my hands down so my privates weren’t showing. Alec was gentle as he picked piece by piece, all the glass out of my face.
“Most of this will be gone by morning.” I said, trying to make it sound like it was no big deal.
“How’s the ribs?” He asked, completely ignoring my statement.
“Actually, not bad.”
“Probably still the adrenaline.” Jacob muttered. Looking over, he was watching Alec work.
“Yeah.” Alec muttered. He had moved to my neck and collar bone. Enough he had to move my t-shirt.
“Anymore anywhere?”
With one hand, I opened my shirt to look. “Don’t think so.” The hell I was going to tell him regardless.
“Need help looking?” Jacob joked. His date slapped him.


We all busted up laughing. “What? It wasn’t like I was going to get lucky after this.” He was standing by her but not touching. She didn’t look like she cared that much anyway.
“Jacob, you will never get lucky with me.” Laughing, I turned so I wasn’t straddling the log and crossed my
legs.
“Are you guys mates? You have really good chemistry together.” Jacob’s date was looking at Alec and I.
There was an awkward silence.
“I’m not 18 until Friday.” I said to her.

appreciated her tack fullness.*

The longer we sat here, the quicker my adrenaline was wearing off, and the soreness was settling in.


into my back regardless of my position. Each motion caused more pain. After a few tries, I gave up and
laid in the ground. The dirt wasn’t the most comfortable but it was better than the tree. I was slightly
sloped downward so I had to shift a little to make sure the blood didn’t rush to my head.
“You doing okay?” Opening my eyes, Alec was looking at me. His hand twitched like he wanted to touch
me but with all the eyes, he didn’t.
“Ready for a shower and bed.” Closing my eyes again, I let the sounds of the night drift me off to sleep. I
felt safe with the guys here. At some point Emmy joined me and we cuddled.
Next thing I knew, headlights were shining on me. “Kristen!” Dad’s voice boomed, shaking the trees.
I’m okay!” I said as I yawned.
