So now I was his replica in every way, down to the tats, which I started at nineteen. I had his wavy black hair and cat green eyes, and I know why it is that sometimes mom would stare at me with such sadness in her eyes. I only have to look in the mirror to see why.
Not only do I look and sound like him, I have his ethics in me. Dad may have lived a wild and free life, but when it came down to it, he’d settled into to a life he never wanted, to take care of his woman and child. I’m all about that shit.
So, I didn’t have it in me to mess with a seventeen year old girl when I was staring twenty-four in the face. But that following year she’d turned eighteen and had changed in more ways than one and all for the better.
I’ll admit to wanting her the first time the parents dropped her off on campus and left her in my care. When she smiled at me and said hi in that sweet southern drawl of hers, I was almost hard pressed to believe that she was actually the same girl.
My little pain in the ass had grown up it seemed. Or so I thought. More fool me! That night she had gone to a party with some girls she’d met at orientation. Mistake number one.
Everyone knows and who doesn’t should, that when you let a bunch of hormonal teens out of the nest for the first time without adult supervision, add alcohol and dick to the equation and you’ve got a recipe for trouble.
I knew it was a bad idea but so as to avoid any friction her first day there, I’d simply got one of my guys who was going to be there, to keep an eye on her for me. If anything happened, I knew he’d not hesitate to call me.
It would’ve looked too obvious if I had gone myself since I never attended those things. I was too busy studying so I could keep the promise I’d made to my dad.
And she’d seemed so changed that I expected her to be more mature with a better head on her shoulders. In short, I didn’t think I needed to worry about her getting up to the same shit that everybody else was.
When the call came in I’d left the off- campus condo we shared like a bat out of hell. The condo had been her dad’s idea after it was decided that she was coming here.
I didn’t care one way or another, though it might put a crimp in my social life, there were always ways around that. Besides, she was no longer a baby and I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before she had half the newbies on campus sniffing after her hot ass.
That last thought had given me fucking agida and had damn near driven me crazy. She’d been a pretty seventeen year old with a nice cheerleader body.
Now she was a hot eighteen year old with a body made for fucking and eyes that seemed to beg for that shit. What a difference a fucking year makes.
Anyway I hotfooted it to the house where the party was being held after my friend called with the alert. When I got there, there were people strewn all over the lawn and the porch of the frat house. Not to mention what was going on inside.
My anger grew with each half naked body I passed. If I found her wrapped around some strange guy I was going to kill her. With my bare hands, after I castrated his ass.
I didn’t stop to think why the hell I should care one way or the other, or why I should feel so strongly about it. I just combed the rooms looking for her until my friend found me and led me to her.
She was in the kitchen being set up. There was a line of cups in front of her with shots of tequila and a room full of frat boys up to no fucking good.
I walked over and grabbed her arm to the complaint of the guys that had been gathered around her. Like fucking vultures circling carrion.
“Whose party is this?” A couple of the guys pointed out the host.
“I should’ve known.” The answer was this guy named Collins, who was the leader of this particular pack. We’d had our differences before and I was expecting his bullshit this time too.
“Hey what’s your problem Sheridan, who invited you?” I ignored him and started carrying her out of there. Things would’ve gone smoothly had she not decided to open her damn mouth.
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? I was having fun here.” She fought to pull out of my arms and Collins saw that as his cue to get in my face. “She doesn’t want to go with you asshole.”
