Chapter 9 - The Game - Ace POV

"Ok, let's play," Alley said looking around at everyone, but they were all frozen. No one has ever seen someone talk back to me, let alone me take an order from them.

I didn't give a fuck though. I either backed off or lost my temper. She wanted to play, then I'll let her play. I'll make sure everyone here knows she is not to be touched.

Amber cleared her throat. "Ok, it was your suggestion so, Alley you start the game." Of course, it was Alley's idea to play this game.

"Amber truth or dare!"

"Truth" she said, because I think the murderous look Alley had was scaring her.

"How many times in the past month have you fucked my brother?" Alley asked with a shit eating grin. Derek and I knew exactly what she was trying to imply to Layla with the answer to this question.

A part of me wanted to smirk at her cleverness. Derek on the other hand was squirming in his seat knowing once Amber opened her mouth his chances with Layla were over. I honestly didn't think he really had a chance anyway.

Layla seemed to be enjoying the attention from Alley, as well as all the teasing from the guys. It fucking pissed me off thinking how Alley was behaving all night.

"Well at least 3 times a week and 4 weeks in a month so that's like what 15?" Amber blurted out sounding almost proud of herself.

"Yeah, 15, or something like that." Alley dryly replied with an eye roll like Amber was a total idiot. I caught Layla's eyes divert from Derek and he in return gave his sister a look like she was a total ass. I couldn't help but chuckle at this interaction.

They both gave me a look like I was about to be stabbed though. I shrugged my shoulders and turned my attention back to the game.

Amber dared a boy to pull out his dick for a minute while slowly spinning in circles. Derek of course covered both Alley's and Layla's eyes anytime body parts were shown.

After a few more rounds of who fucked who, who fucked better, body parts uncovered, shots taken to avoid ridiculous and dangerous dares until it was Randy's turn to ask.

He looked at Alley with a devious smile as he asked Chris, "Truth or Dare?" Which of course he responded dare.

"I dare you to kiss... Alley." Randy's smile grew from ear to ear. He obviously wanted to gauge how far I was going to go with this possessive dick I was being. I didn't care though. I would protect her even from herself.

"Hell yeah." Chris said jumping up. He was none the wiser as he and Katie just joined the game.

I leaned forward from my seat, looking Chris dead in the eye. "I suggest you take a shot, because if you take the dare, I'll break your jaw."

I could see Alley's face turn to pure rage as I spoke. I couldn't help but smirk back at her. I didn't want her kissing someone, but it was more about showing her who controlled this town, and who gets to touch her.

This time Nikki scuffed at me in annoyance. I gave her a pointed look not to test me. "Go away!" I ordered both her and some other chick that came to sit next to me. Then I saw out of the corner of my eye Alley stand up.

What the fuck was she doing now?

Then like a fucking asshole she grabs Chris by his shirt to pull his lips to hers. She had her other hand gripped in his hair; her tongue went straight in his mouth as his hands slid on her waist bringing their body flush together.

I tried, I really tried, to push my anger down. My vision was blurring as I tried to stop everything inside me turning to pure rage. Between her defiance and watching someone grope her so sexually I lost all my senses.

Within seconds Chris was spun around with my fist instantly connecting to his jaw. I did warn him.

"Are you fucking serious? How could you do that?" Alley screamed behind me then quickly rushed to bend down and check on Chris. He was cradling his face trying not to cry.

When her hand came to his face he actually flinched from her touch and his eyes were begging her to get away from him. I couldn't help but be satisfied by that response. He will never lay a hand on her again.

"Now everyone knows that if they touch you, I will break every bone in their fucking body. So, I dare you to keep fucking testing me Alley and we see how else I can make you listen when I tell you something?" I said standing over her with anger seeping from my pores in hot waves.

She stood up with tears swelling in her eyes and I almost faltered. I wanted to cup her cheeks in my palms to tell her it was ok, but how could I when I was the one causing her to cry.

"You are fucking insane! You bastard!" She spat at me then tried to punch my chest. That was a bad move though as it did nothing but ignite my anger again.

I grabbed both her wrists in one hand and pulled her to my chest. "Bastard? You want to see how much of a bastard I can be?" I kept a tight hold on her wrist and dragged her to my car.

She tried digging her feet in the sand, but I just pulled her harder. She screamed how she hated me, but I just ignored her, becoming more enraged. She tried kicking my legs, but I kept walking like her foot ramming into me was nothing but a leaf brushing against my leg. If she just listened when I said it was time to go, then we wouldn't have this problem.

When we reached the car, I opened the passenger side door. "Get the fuck in the car!"

"Fuck you!" She spat out, standing her ground while tears streamed down her face.

Derek and Layla finally caught up with us. "Christian, back the fuck off!" He tried telling me and it took everything inside me not to break his jaw too. How dare he tell me what to do?

"Derek, tell her to get in the car or I'm going to fucking lose it." I ordered just staring at him with my fist clenched at my side.

Alley's face turned from angry to confused. She wiped away her tears and just looked at me with so much sadness and fear. She never showed fear towards me, but I could see it now even in her breaths.

"Are you serious? You fucking lost it when you started dragging my sister across the beach!" Derek yelled back at me.

We all just stared at each other for a while. The three of us trying to control our breathing as we switched from angry to sad. 

How was this happening to us right now? What the fuck happened to get us here in this moment? I never wanted fighting between us, not this real fighting and hatred that I caused.

Alley stepped in front of me with swollen red eyes and every part of me wanted to pull her in to me. Apologize for how I just snapped, but I couldn't. There was no way I could be there for her. I couldn't be anything to her because I was out of control. I just needed to get her home and then stay away from her.

She looked me in the eye, not with anger, but with pure defeat. "I'll get in and go home, ok. Just please calm down."

She opened the door and guided Layla in the back. She looked back to me, "Christian, come on, back off and just get in the car." 

I was still staring down Derek and it probably had her worried. I no longer wanted to hit him, but I did want to hit something.

I gave her one last look then spun around to the driver seat. Derek got in the passenger side and was silent the whole way home. He didn't turn his head once from the window. I had no idea what to say or how to fix this.

None of us said a word to each other. Alley gave me some glances from my rearview mirror, but I couldn't return any kind look. I don't know if it was when I dragged her across that beach or when I made her cry but at some point, I decided this was it for us. I would push her away and make sure I didn't ever hurt her that way again. No one was going to hurt her.
