just answered what she could. Rex knew more about Eric than she did and after that was apparent, he told her a little bit about them. “We used to be friends and then he betrayed me. My brother died because of him.”
Beth put her arm around him, trying to comfort the older man. He was having a break down she thought and she started to sober up as she looked around for someone else to be paying attention to him, one of his friends. But they all were involved in other things. When Rex pulled her down for a kiss, she was helpless to refuse. Her body was primed for action and before she knew it, Bethany was straddling the man underneath her on the couch. Her arms were wrapped around his neck as their tongues danced in each other’s mouths.
There was a disturbance in the yard and she pulled away to look up. Bethany was shocked to see Eric coming towards her and he had a look on his face that made her fear her step brother once again. “Beth come on. This was low, even for you Rex.”
Hands pulled her off of the man and the two men were in each other’s faces like they were going to fight. “What is wrong with you Eric?”
“Beth, shut up and walk out of this house now. I will get to you later.” He pushed her towards the entrance and yelled at Jesse to take her out. Bethany struggled against the tall guy that she had mistaken for her brother earlier in the day. There was no use to her struggles though and she quickly gave up, looking back to see Rex getting up while Eric moved closer to him. She could tell that he was angry and she wondered why he was so mad.
She finally pulled away from Jesse and walked with him to the bikes propped up. Bethany didn’t know what was going on, but she knew that she found herself in the middle of something that she didn’t want to be in. There was a moment of indecision, where she seriously thought about going back in there. She needed what Rex had to offer and she could have cared less what was going on between the two of them. Bethany started towards the house and Jesse stopped her with a hard grip on her arm. “Wait. You don’t want to get involved more than you already are Beth.”
Beth stopped. There was something in Jesse’s eyes that she didn’t question and instead waited by her stepbrother’s bike. She could hear yelling, but there had been no gun shots, so she was hopeful that it would end well. Beth felt like it was her fault and as she sobered up and looked around her, she couldn’t believe that she had chosen to go with Rex. Maybe it was best that he had come to save her. Bethany would not admit that to him though, ever.
He finally came out and looked as pissed off as when he had barged his way in the dilapidated house. He grabbed Bethany on her wrist hard and she whined, trying to jerk away from him. “Stop Eric, you’re hurting me.”
His eyes were on fire and she could feel how angry he was at her. “Get on the damn bike Beth. You don’t know what you are into.”
She did as he said, but she was not happy about it. As soon as he was in front of her, he started the engine and pulled out, dust flying up in his wake. Bethany was being treated like a child and it pissed her off. The last thing she needed was some guy thinking he had a say in what she did, just because their parents got married.
“Stop Eric. What are you doing? Do you know how horny I am right now and you pulled me away like I was an underage teen or something? Dammit, I am eighteen years old and I can do what I please.”
There were several minutes that he said nothing. Bethany clung to him as he drove fast in the night. She eventually squeezed her eyes shut and held on for dear life. She was sure that it would be her last day. Her brother drove like a maniac. They finally stopped and after he got off and talked to a few of his friends, the rest took off, leaving them alone in closed gas station parking lot.
“You can’t tell our parents about what happened, okay?”
“What did
