Chapter 303
THERON
Slowly and deliberately, he slipped three fingers into his mouth and sucked on them. "I swear, I can still taste her on my fingers from when my slid them inside her pink, wet-"
With a snarl of rage, I shoved Lucian into the wall.
"Shut up before I break your face," I hissed.
My voice was trembling. I clenched my teeth to keep from yelling. Someone could pass by at any time. I couldn't let them hear a word of what Lucian was implying.
"Whoa there, Theron!" Lucian said. Still grinning, he put up both hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you all worked up. I was just telling the truth. You don't know how much this secret has been eating into me. I felt it was only fair you should know what's been happening with your so-called girlfriend.."
"You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face, asshole. Willa wouldn't let you touch her. Not if you were the last man on earth. You're a fucking liar. That's what you are."
"You're right. Fucking is the word. We fucked, Theron. Don't believe me? Ask anyone that went to camp with us. They must have heard Willa. I tried to keep her quiet but she's a screamer, that one. So damn passionate!"
My hands, fisted around Lucian's shirt, started to shake. I swallowed. "I'm warning you for the last time. Shut-"
"It had to the best sex I've ever had," Lucian went on. "She was so tight I could hardly fit my cock inside-"
The last shred of my control snapped. I drew my fist back and socked him in the jaw. I did it three times before he pushed me away.
Lucian wasn't amused now. Only angry.
"Blood sucking son of a bitch," he growled and raised his hand to hit me.
I blocked his punch with my arm. I slammed a fist into his mouth, loving the way his lips felt mashed against my fists. His teeth came together with a loud click.
His grunt of pain was music to my ears.
Lucian came at me, large arms swinging. He aimed another blow at me. I ducked just in time. The punch left a small crack on the wall behind me. I slugged him in the chest.
The next moment, pain exploded in my stomach. I hadn't even seen his arm move.
He was grinning again. His teeth were stained with blood.
"Screw you," he spat out.
I charged at him, hitting, punching anywhere I could reach. My attack took him by surprise.
I kneed him in the groin, punched him in the face and kicked him in the side. Or tried to.
Lucian grabbed my foot, yanked it forward. I fell to the floor and then he was on me, hitting wildly.
I hooked my fingers into his eyes. His own fingers closed around my neck.
Somehow I managed to shove him off. We rolled on the floor in a tangle of arms and legs, hitting each other.
Someone screamed, "Stop them! They're going to kill each other!"
I heard several running footsteps. Hands started to drag Lucian and I apart.
"Let go of me!" I shouted, struggling against the hands restraining me. "Let me at him!."
"Theron, that's enough!" one of the guys holding me said.
"Stop it, you two!" said another.
Across from me, Lucian wasn't resisting. His lips were peeled back from his teeth. He was glaring at me with concentrated hatred.
Suddenly he lunged forward, his legs poised to kick me.
"Cut it out!" a guy shouted and managed to drag him back in time.
"Fuck you, Lucian," I growled.
Apart from a split lip, he had a large cut on his eyebrow from which blood dripped, multiple cuts on his face and what looked like the beginning of a black eye. I wanted it to bruise and swell for weeks or months.
For me, places I didn't even know existed burned and ached. I could barely stand up straight.
I didn't know what I looked like yet but I would be the happiest man alive as long as Lucian looked worse.
"Theron!" Willa shouted.
I turned to see her racing down the corridor. Her eyes kept darting from Lucian to me and back again. She pushed me back, away from Lucian, who was still trying to inch forward.
Her eyes were wide and frightened.
I supposed I ought to be grateful that she hadn't gone straight to weep on Lucian's shoulder. Still what she had done with Lucian hurt.
That she and Lucian had sex, I didn't doubt. Somehow I knew the bastard had been telling the truth.
"Theron," she gasped. "What are you- Why were you two fighting?"
"Because you lied to me!" I yelled.
