Thorn: Carter Kids #2 Read Online Free

Carter asked in a tone laced with disgust. “You’re just going to carry on with your life and pretend your boyfriend isn’t sitting in a jail cell right now?” He shook his head and shrugged. “I thought you were made of tougher stuff than to run at the first hurdle.”
    “He’s not my boyfriend,” I managed to choke out, feeling winded and completely broken. “I am protecting myself, Mr. Carter, from getting even more hurt than I’ve already been. So stop trying to make me feel bad for doing nothing wrong.”
    He shook his head in defeat. “You’re making a mistake, Teagan,” he told me wearily. “I may not know the ins and outs of what happened between you two, but if you loved the boy you would be standing by him now and not hiding out here like a coward.”
    “You’re right about one thing, Mr. Carter. You don’t know a damn thing about me!” I hissed before stalking out of the room. Stopping in the doorway, I turned and glared back at him. “You don’t know what happened between us but if you go and ask Reese Tanner, I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to tell you everything.”
    Swinging around, I bolted from the kitchen and didn’t stop moving until I was inside Liam’s room.
    Slamming the door shut, I rushed over and threw myself down on the bed. Tears burned behind my eyelids, but I refused to let them fall.
    What if I’m wrong about Noah? The niggling voice inside my head asked, but I shut that bitch up swiftly.
    It wasn’t true.
    They were making a fool out of me.
    Aside from the fact that Noah had slept with Reese, he had also lied to me. He left me that night to go to the quarry.
    I gave up everything for him and he threw it all away for a fight and a fuck.
    Memories flooded me, visions of us on the flat screen TV fucking in the elevator – of Noah taking away my innocence.
    I was such a fool.
    For all I knew, he and Ellie had planned this whole thing – making me fall in love with him just so that he could break me and then kick me when I was down.
    A sudden pain, intense and throbbing, hit me directly in my lower belly and I had to dive across the hallway for the bathroom. When I saw the blood tinged stain on my underwear I laughed and cried simultaneously.
    All that worrying had been for nothing. All those sleepless nights that had been filled with anxiety and fear about the future had been pointless. Stress had been the reason for my late period. I wasn’t pregnant, and that was that. There would be no unfinished business between us. No messy confrontations or reluctant phone call in nine months.
    Noah was really gone from me.
    Cleaning myself up, I went back to Liam’s room and, curling up in a ball on his bed, I let my mind drift back to that night…
    Climbing Noah’s staircase, I walked straight to his bedroom and knocked lightly before twisting the knob and pushing the door inwards.
    My heart dropped the moment I saw him lying there.
    My stomach churned and pained cry tore my throat.
    Skin – naked skin –limbs and long red hair invaded my vision.
    That’s all I could see.
    The blood rushed to my brain so fast everything became cloudy, and when I was eventually able to focus, the image that laid before me caused my stomach to churn.
    Noah and Reese fucking like rabbits, right in front of my eyes.
    Reese was straddling Noah, screwing him like a fucking Duracell bunny, bouncing up and down, grinding her naked body on top of my naked boyfriend.
    “Noah,” I cried out as disgust churned inside of me.
    He didn’t even incline his face in my direction. He kept his eyes closed, grunting softly as Reese fucked him.
    “I’m leaving,” I screamed, frantic. “I can’t…I…I… how could you do this to me?” I was losing control of myself.
    Tears were spilling from my eyes, I needed to get a grip, but every time I tried to grab onto the ledge of something rational, their sweat-soaked naked bodies fused together impaled me and I felt like bursting into flames.
    I could
