on to the side of the truck and wait to get behind the electrified fences surrounding the McLaughlin estate.
I half expect Jace to follow us, but he's too smart to try the same move twice. The full frontal attack was a bust. Next time, he'll go sneaky.
"I can't fucking believe it," I mutter after I showered off the mud. Now following the twins around the house, I fume. "Cooper sent my ex-boyfriend."
"He's hot. You're lucky for your first lover to be so sexy," Colbie says, wandering down a hallway. "Bodie's first had a baboon's ass for a face."
In the giant house, the siblings share this part of the second floor with three bedrooms, a mini kitchen, and a living room. I wait in the kitchen for the girls to appear. Soon, I shuffle after them downstairs to the indoor pool. Through the waiting, I send angry texts to Cooper. My brother the ass responds in shock that I might not want my ex-boyfriend bothering me here in Last Dollar.
"Wait, are you two not friends anymore?" he asks innocently.
"You're lucky I can't smack you," I send back.
Cooper sends me a frowny face, and I can picture him laughing his ass off back in Ellsberg.
"Dickhead," I say aloud to the twins who turn on a radio while silently arguing over what to listen to first.
The siblings claim to speak psychically. I assume they're lying, but these silent staring contests make me wonder. I guess Bodie wins since she turns on the All Over The World: The Very Best Of ELO album.
"I can't believe Jace is here," I mutter, still trying to wrap my head around how things shifted so quickly at the bar.
"You never thanked us for saving you," Bodie mentions before diving into the deep end.
"Do you think you hurt him?" I ask, refusing to give into Bodie by uttering those two words.
"We were careful not to fire at his face, chest, or crotch," Colbie points out. "You're welcome."
Grudgingly, I mutter a thank you. Colbie flips off her sister before jumping into the water.
"Don't feel bad," Zane says, hugging me from behind. "Everyone has an ex they regret."
Smiling, I realize he's wearing a red Speedo. "Really?"
Zane gives me a wink. "If you've got it, flaunt it, Sawyer."
Once he jumps into the water with his sisters, they begin racing back and forth. I sit in a chair and watch them swim. Bailey and I used to race each other. No matter how many times I beat her, she never stops hoping. I love her optimistic nature. That and her stupidity.
I refuse to think of Jace kissing me. He's the enemy. Nothing more. No way do I recall the feel of him still on my lips. Or how his fingers felt against my skin. I refuse to remember how he tried to save me when he thought the siblings were a real threat. I hate him, and no amount of tongue action will change my mind on the matter.
Despite my dark thoughts about Jace, I find myself caressing my smiling lips. Nine long months without being kissed, touched, or wanted. He broke my heart, and no one else would do. Now, he's in Last Dollar kissing me again. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
Chapter 6
Jace
50 Ways to Say Goodbye
All night, I dream of Sawyer. Most of my dreams are nightmares. One though involves us skinny-dipping in the river not far from her house. That dream is more like a memory, leaving me with a morning erection. A long cold shower wakes me up and cools me down. Trying to rekindle anything with Sawyer is a mistake. I remind myself how I broke something that can never be fixed.
However, I wouldn't mind being friends again. As kids and teens, she and I spent most of our free time together. Sawyer sucked at making friends. Most girls couldn't endure her bossy nature while most boys were terrified of her constant dick threats. I knew when to obey, when to ignore, and when to tell her to shove it. We were an odd pair, but she was the best friend I ever had.
When things ended, she pretended I was a stranger unless forced to be friendly at social events. We can never truly be apart, not when we're tied together
