The Devil's Son Read online

  “How did you know I was here?” Amanda asks.

  “I remember you saying something about a movie, and I searched every theatre to find you,” I say, wondering if she will actually believe that bullshit.

  “Oh Nick, I knew we had something special.” With a wide smile, she lays her head against my shoulder, while I roll my eyes. Once the movie is over, she sits up with her hair still a mess, “Do you want to come out with us?”

  “No, you go have fun with your friends, I will call you later,” I say, kissing her goodbye and taking off to find Elijah. I find him in the back corridor of the theatre, finishing up his goodbye. “Your night get better?” I ask when he walks up to me, clearly content with his night.

  “Oh yeah. Where did you go, back to that Franky girl?”

  “No, I found Amanda to entertain me.”

  “It looked like you were getting entertained by Franky from what I saw.” I shake my head. “Okay. What was that then?”

  “A confidence booster,” I say simply.

  He laughs and begins rubbing my head with a serious expression. “Oh, Nicky, you are a fine looking young man. Don’t worry I am sure your cock will grow one day.”

  I push him off me, “Shut the fuck up. It wasn’t a confidence booster for me, you idiot.”

  “So did you pull me off that other girl so you could get laid too?” Elijah asks.

  “No because she was a virgin and didn’t need to be corrupted by you.” His jaw drops instantly.

  “That girl was a virgin? Holy shit. She didn’t act like a virgin. Hell, I had my hand … well, in some really nice places. She has some huge tits Nicky. I won’t tell you where her hand was, but it was on something huge too,” he says waiting for me to glance at his arrogant smile. Shaking my head, I glance his way rolling my eyes. “Hmm a virgin. Well that’s one thing Kim wasn’t. That girl was ready to fuck in seconds. I have to say, I am getting drastically better at my game. If I get any better, all I am going to have to do is snap my fingers, and women will be all over me.” The dumb things he says sometimes.

  When we walk out into the parking lot, we come face to face with Franky and Brandi. Elijah instantly cozies right up to Brandi’s side, “So, baby, I didn’t get to say goodbye. Do you think maybe we could get together sometime soon, very soon?” She giggles, trading numbers with him, and before I know it, his tongue is down her throat again.

  “Eli, damn, come on!” I say pulling him away.

  “Sorry Franky, you should take your friend and go find some guys that are more suitable for you two,” I say continuing to push him forward.

  “Nicky, why do you keep pulling at me when my dick is all hard? Are you trying to kill me? I got needs! Damn! I haven’t fucked since …”

  “Since we were indoors, two minutes ago.” I yell at him.

  He looks my way with a confused expression, “Oh yeah. Huh. I am having a damn good night.” I laugh at him until he finally smiles. Once I have him moving forward again, I look back to make sure the girls didn’t hear his nonsense, but instead, I catch Franky’s eyes on me. Her expression effects me, and suddenly I have an urge to leave with her instead, and I am not sure why. I stop briefly, but shake the feeling off, I am not her type I am too much of a thug for her.

  Chapter 12

  ~Franky~

  Brandi looks completely dazed, talking to her at this point is pointless. Instead of talking, I simply try to make sure she looks presentable for her parents and then rush her into her room before they have a chance to ask her any questions. She smiles all the way into bed, mentioning Elijah more than once. Asshole will never speak to her again, I hope she realizes that. As soon as I have her in bed and curl up into the other, Brandi suddenly jumps up and runs to her window. Elijah climbs through pawing at her instantly.

  “Brandi, are you crazy? Your parents are going to kill you.” I steam.

  “Please, Franky. We only want to talk,” she says as if I am supposed to believe that bullshit.

  “Where is Nick?” I ask Elijah, hoping he is waiting somewhere outside.

  “He went home. You want me to call him for you? I don’t think he is doing anything special. I could probably get him to come over too,” Elijah says, barely looking my way as he undresses.

  “No why would I want that? I was simply wondering if you left him standing outside by himself,” I say, before burying my head into my pillows when they start kissing again. I sit up to yell at them again, but Elijah is already naked and climbing into bed with her. With my eyes wide, I breathe out slowly. Wow, he is … not bad looking at all. Damn, I hate her.

  “Be gentle with me, baby, I have never done this before,” Elijah hummed into my friend’s ear. Oh my God! Brandi giggles in agreement. Really, she can’t be that stupid? There are some quick movements in her bed, and the next thing I know, Brandi’s clothes are flung to the floor. “Damn, baby, why are you hiding this body?” He moans, kissing her and causing her to moan with approval as he goes down her body. I try not to look, but Brandi’s tense fingers grip her sheets so tightly I am afraid she is going to explode. The sounds are making me insane, but it only gets worse. I thought they were finished, but then he takes out a condom. Ah! I just want to rip my head off. Oh why didn’t I just go home?

  The shop is dead today. I have drawn about twenty different trees on my notebook and twice as many Nick Jayzon’s, scratched out until they are unrecognizable.

  “Hi,” I jump from my seat and instantly catch his hypnotizing eyes. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” Nick says with a smile. “I forgot to get my bag the other night, and I need it for a job today.”

  “Oh, I could have mailed it to you or something,” I mumble, realizing halfway through that we don’t do that here.

  “Well, that wouldn’t have worked. I wouldn’t have got to see you,” he says with a smile that weakens me all over. Blushing, I shy away from his seductive eyes and try to regain my composure. “I have to admit I was also curious about you and your man. I wanted to find out how you are doing with him.” For some reason, my voice stops working, along with my brain, so all I can do is shrug at him. “Eventually you are going to have to talk to him, Franky. I mean what if you start talking to him and kissing him and find out he is no good at all and he isn’t what you thought?” Nick leans in closer to me. “You don’t want to spend all your time thinking about a guy that isn’t worth your time, do you? There are too many other guys waiting for their chance with you.” His eyes look so deeply into mine I begin to feel something strange between us, but before I can ask we are interrupted.

  “Franky? Is everything okay?” my father asks, peaking around the corner at us.

  “Yes, everything is fine. He left without his purchase the other day,” I say as Nick and my father exchange glares.

  “I don’t think your father cares for me too much,” Nick says pulling out some money and holding it up for my father to clearly see before handing it to me. “Thanks for holding it for me.” I shrug with a nod, my usual confused response. “There is a party tonight, you should invite your man and take the opportunity to get to know him better. Lots of great hiding places. And if you decide you don’t like him, I will be there … to get rid of him for you.” He smiles with a wink. “Here is the address if you decide you’re interested.” A warm touch of his hand, and I steal the piece of paper from his palm and quickly stash it into my pocket before my father sees it.

  There is no way I am going to miss this party, and there is certainly no way I am going to show up in my usual attire. I need something that he would be attracted to, but I also need my backup, Brandi, just in case I chicken out. It was simple to convince her, one mention of Elijah’s name, and she isn’t about to miss the party either.

  Brandi invites me to her place to help prepare my hair and makeup. I bought a short skirt, and heels, borrow a low cut sweater from Brandi, and even dug out contacts from the back of my drawer that are now burning my eyes like
crazy. I am perfect if only I could walk in these heels and stop tearing up from the contacts.

  Brandi borrows her father’s car so thankfully we don’t have to walk, but we arrive much faster than I am prepared for. These people are not the usual ones I would be around, not that I usually attend parties, or hang out with anyone other than Brandi, or my father. What I am doing here?

  Arm and arm, Brandi and I maneuver through the crowd, both of us feeling farther and farther away from security as we move deeper into the crowd. Suddenly, Elijah pops out of nowhere, with girls already hanging all over him. I look over at Brandi as her jaw hits the floor. Before she tries to run back to the door, I selfishly grab her arm and hold her next to me. I did put up with their disgusting display the other night. She owes me.

  Surprisingly, Elijah drops the others girls and picks Brandi up. “Hi.” He smiles wildly, bringing out Brandi’s nervous giggle.

  He starts to carry her away, but I grab his arm to stop him. “Hey, I don’t want to be left here alone.”

  “Nick is here.” He is? Just the mention of his name forces a smile from my face. “Yeah he is right over there. Nick!” My head spins in a direction I didn’t think possible, but the moment I see him through the crowd, there is no pain from the awkward twist, only butterfly wings.

  I fidget with my skirt and adjust my sweater as Nick comes near and kisses my cheek. “Hi, beautiful, glad to see you made it. Did you bring anyone else with you?” I point over to Brandi as she dives deeply into Elijah’s mouth. Nick laughs, “Well she seems happily occupied. But I was actually wondering if you brought a date?”

  “Oh, I was told he was coming here already, so I was hoping that I could talk to him here, and you know …”

  “And make your move? Yeah not a bad idea. So is he here?” He asks and for some stupid reason, I nod. “He is huh, so where is he?” Oh damn. Carefully, I turn and search around for someone, anyone, until I see Parker Bruce look me over and nod my way with a smile. I only know him from when he played football for our high school a couple of years ago. He hasn’t done much since he blew out his knee. I have only seen him lately because he delivers some of our inventory.

  However, the only words spoken between us was when he grunted, “Have a nice day,” past his grumbling lunch. He is still somewhat good looking and kind of believable so … I nod towards him to Nick.

  “Bruce?” he asks, with furrowed brows.

  “Yes, he is one of our delivery guys.” I smile nervously.

  “Did someone say my name?” Parker says hovering behind me. Nick stands back with a glare towards Parker. Is he jealous? I turn around and wrap my arms around Parker and giggle like Brandi does with Elijah. “Hi, Parker, I haven’t seen you much this week.”

  He happily hugs me back, “Uhhh, no I have been doing other stuff. Wow, you look hot,” Parker says, looking me over. Nick mumbles something away from me, but I choose to ignore him.

  “Oh, thank you, Parker.” I twist happily until my heel gets caught, and I stumble into Parker, which is more hope than I wanted to give him.

  “Whoa, so how ‘bout we take this to a quieter place.” Parker takes my hand and quickly pulls me away from Nick. Weaving our way through the crowd, I look back for Nick only to see him shake his head and take hold of another girl, who is more than happy to give him all the attention he wants. “Here we go.” Parker pulls me into a nearly empty room and pushes me into a corner of a sofa, where he immediately sticks his tongue down my throat. His abrupt approach is hard to take, but his wandering hands are even rougher.

  I have to push him away, “Can you back off a little bit?” I ask him.

  “You’re the one that came onto me. I think you need a drink.” I nod, and he immediately takes off and is back shoving a drink in my face before I can get comfortable. It is a nice fruit punch, so I keep drinking it to keep him out of my mouth, but his hands keep finding their way up my skirt. “What do you have under this skirt?” Parker breathes against my neck. My head begins to spin, and Parker pulls me underneath him. Positioning himself to his satisfaction, I begin feeling his erection digging into my thigh. “Take these panties off.” What?

  I force both my fists into his chest and struggle to get up, “No, I don’t want to. Please leave me alone, I don’t like you.” Parker chooses to believe I mean for him to kiss me more and hold me tighter to him. “Parker, please. Parker! Get off of me.”

  “You need to keep drinking.” He grabs his own glass and shoves it down my throat. “Is it because we are not alone? I can fix that.” He immediately drags me through another room and down a hall.

  “No, stop. I don’t want to go.” I jerk my arm away from him and fall into Nick.

  “Is there a problem?” Nick asks with a shapely blond attached to him tight. She looks down at me as she caresses Nick and kisses on his neck. She is gorgeous, and I’m not.

  “No, we are just playing around.” Parker winks at Nick, throws me over his shoulder, and runs down the hallway to a private bedroom. “This is perfect!” he yells after tossing me onto the bed. He climbs on top of me and goes back to kissing me. Maybe I should just do this and be done. Then I will no longer be the only virgin. I don’t know why I thought Nick would like me anyway. Tears begin, and I try to embrace Parker, but I really only want to go home. “What is wrong with you now?” he barks, huffing at me as I push him away and get up.

  “I want to go home,” I cry and storm out of the room with Parker following after me. The moment we step out of the room, Parker’s friends start laughing and teasing him.

  “Shut up!” he yells at everyone. “She is a fucking frigid ass bitch!” Parker grabs my arm and snarls at me, “I thought you would be an easy lay. I would have never bothered with you if I had known you were useless.” Gripping my arm, he begins to jerk me back and forth as he continues to yell at me. “The least you could do is get in that bedroom and suck my dick.” I fall onto the floor by his forceful hand and am dragged by my hair back into the bedroom. My head continues to spin and spin until I begin to get sick. I try to crawl away from him, but he drags me back and forces his erection in my face. “Suck it, and I will leave you alone.”

  “I want to go home!” I cry out, pleading with him to let go of me.

  “Just do it, and you can go home. It is not that big of a deal, Franky. You got all dressed up in your whore uniform and then came onto me, for what? To tease me? You fucking bitch. You owe me this much for teasing me like you did.” He pushes my head back to his crotch. “Suck my dick and you can go!”

  “Franky? Franky!” Nick yells through the door. “Are you okay?”

  “Go away, Jayzon, we are busy in here.” Parker yells gripping my hair tighter and causing me to cry out.

  Boom! Nick comes storming in and grabs Parker by the neck. Parker tries to fight back, but has his head beat into the floor and then into the wall before he slides down it cringing. Nick kicks him and then grabs him by the hair. “Apologize to my friend, or we are going to continue to have a problem,” Nick growls. Rubbing my face, I try to see through my tears as Parker’s bloodied face is brought up to my knees. Parker manages a mumbled sorry while I look up at Nick and begin to sway my way off the floor. “I don’t feel so good.”

  “Come here, Kitten, I will take you home.”

  “Nick? What about me?” The gorgeous blond says running up and grabbing hold of him.

  “I need to take her home and make sure she is okay, Amanda.”

  “Are you coming back?” Amanda whines.

  “I doubt it, I want to stay with Franky until she feels better.”

  “Can’t she get someone else to take her home?” Nick turns to her and looks down at her with swirling eyes. “Okay, so call me later?” Amanda pleads and smiles happily, once he nods.

  I begin to sway again as everything begins to twist and turn around me. Taking my hand, Nick picks me up into his arms and lets me rest my head against his shoulder. “I am going to take you home now, Kitten. Don’t wor
ry about anything, just hold onto me.” I try to tell him that I left Brandi, but I am not sure he understands until after I say her name a few times. “Don’t worry about her. Eli will make sure she gets home safely.”

  The sound of his voice calms me, but it is the security of his arms that I never want to leave. Nick slides me into a car, and I curl around myself with left over tears trailing down my face. Then I feel his hand take mine. “It’s going to be okay. You will be home soon. You can get a hot shower and crawl into your bed where it is safe and warm.” Seeing my house in the distance, I know my father is home, but I don’t want to leave Nick. “Will you stay with me for a little while?”

  “If you want me to, I will.” He kisses the side of my head again and carries me up the steps, but doesn’t get much closer before my father walks out the front door.

  “Get away from my daughter!” my father yells, pulling me from Nick and pushing him away from me. “What did you do to her? I will kill you if you hurt her!”

  “Daddy, please! Nick helped me. It wasn’t him. It was someone else.”

  I hold my father’s arm, pulling him away from Nick. “I don’t like you!” my father says, pointing at him. “I have seen you, you and your friends always up to no good. I know who you are, you stay away from my daughter.”

  “No, Daddy. I want him to stay. He helped me.” I try to hold onto Nick’s hand to keep him from leaving as he watches my father’s furry come even stronger at him. “Nick please don’t leave.”
