Chapter 28
Shane’s POV
I was still riding my bike when my phone beeped inside my pocket. I decided to ignore it until I reached my destination. After calling Theo a couple of times without getting any response, I decided to text him which he responded some minutes later. He sent the location and in no time, I hit the road.
When I finally arrived at the party, I parked my bike in a safe spot and decided to check my phone. It was a message from Layla and after reading it, I sent a quick reply that I was busy. I didn’t mention what I was busy with and thankfully, she didn’t ask.
After sending the reply, I tucked my phone inside my trouser pocket. I was dressed in a simple outfit to avoid attracting anyone’s attention. A plain black hoodie with black jeans and white trainers was okay for the night. After checking myself properly, I pulled the hood to cover the back of my head and part of my face. This way, no one would recognize me easily.
With my head bent to the ground, I started walking towards the party ground. Loud music could be heard along with people, screaming and yelling. I moved through gyrating bodies writhing together on the dancefloor and kept muttering ‘I’m Sorry’ to anyone I bumped into.
I’m sure none of them heard me because the music was so loud that I could barely hear myself. Did they even care if I bumped into them? They were all having so much fun and seemed out of the world.
I looked around the crowd hoping to find Theo and Renee. Everywhere was filled with people dancing up and down and it would be hard to find them.
A girl came in front of me and started shaking ass. I quickly tore my eyes away and fled before she got a chance to turn around. Another grabbed me by the arm and pushed her body against mine. She wasn’t wearing anything except for her underwear. I immediately withdrew my arm from her grip and walked away.
Goodness! Can’t they see that I’m not here to party?
My heart was pounding heavily by the time I succeeded in moving out of the crowd. Beads of sweat covered my forehead as well as my whole body. It felt like I had just gotten out of a furnace.
“OMG, Kade Dalton is here, I cannot believe it!” A girl squealed in excitement and I turned to look at her. She was in the middle of other girls.
“Yeah, he arrived a while ago. He’s such a hottie” Another seconded.
If Kade arrived a while ago, it means he must’ve met Renee and I’m late. I don’t want him to have anything to do with her. I don’t want him to use her, just the way he does to the other girls. He’s not good for her.
“But still, I love Shane. He’s so heavenly and more handsome than his brother.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“That’s true. But It’s such a pity he gets bullied all the time.”
“I know right? All those muscles of his are a total waste if he cannot use them to fight or… Fuck me!” I cringed at her words and started walking away just when they burst into laughter.
They’re always talking about me and sometimes I wonder how they got to know so much. I’m the Billionaire’s son, no doubt but I’ve always kept things about my life private.
I owned difficult social media accounts with millions of followers but I haven’t posted anything about myself. But Kade on the other hand posts more than thirty pictures a day. He posts pictures of himself, girls, plenty of girls, parties, drinks, his friends… There’s just so much and I’ve lost count.
I spotted Ashley dancing in a corner with some guy and I knew Renee would be close by. They’ve gotten so close over the past week and seem inseparable. I searched around but then I saw Theoden walking over. I immediately lowered my head and pulled the hood to cover my face properly.
I know I shouldn’t be hiding from him but I didn’t want him to find me here. If he did, he’d tell Layla and I didn’t wanna think of how she’d react to the fact that I attended the party without telling her. She wouldn’t even understand that I only came to save Renee from my brother.
Theoden went straight to where Ashley was dancing with the stranger and grabbed her by the hand before taking her away. What’s wrong with those two?
Quietly, I followed them but then, I saw Kade approaching from the other side of the hall. He seemed to be chasing after someone with the way he kept pushing everyone down, just to have his way.
I looked around, trying to find who he was after and that was when I saw her. She was dancing in the small crowd and her short outfit didn’t go unnoticed by me. With her eyes closed and her body moving from left to right, I couldn’t take my eyes off such beauty.
My breathing was labored and my heart skipped a bit. My mouth dropped open as I remained rooted to the spot. Christ, she looked like a damsel.
I could feel my dick getting hard as the strange feelings closed up on me. It was need. It was desire. Raw and naked desires that I couldn’t understand. All I knew was that it started with her.
“Get the hell out of my way!” I heard Kade’s voice some distance away which jolted me out of my thoughts. I instantly moved my legs toward Renee and the stranger she was dancing with.
Without thinking twice, I grabbed her hand and mistakenly pushed off the guy she was dancing with. I took her away from him, not minding his angry curse words and yells.
I kept going and didn’t stop to apologize for pushing him down. I don’t know why I didn’t apologize but I guess it’s because I didn’t do that mistakenly. I pushed him a little too roughly because he was dancing skin-to-skin with Renee when he shouldn’t have. That’s not the appropriate way to dance, is it?
“Hey, take your fucking hands off me!” Renee yelled behind me but I didn’t listen. Instead, I opened one of the doors inside the crowded hall and dragged her inside before slamming it shut. “What the fuck? Who the hell are you?”
I didn’t realize that there were people in the room until the girl pulled down her skirt and rushed out before the guy followed suit, zipping up his trousers.
“If you don’t tell me who the fuck you are this instant, I’ll…” It was a small dimly lit room so I had to take off my hood and step into the light before she could finish.
I didn’t want her to scream because it would likely attract people. That’s if they’ll hear her from the loud music playing in the background.
“Shane? What the hell…”
“I… I can explain. I… My… It’s not what you think”
Instead, she smirked.
Only God knows how I feel whenever does that and gives me the look she’s giving me right now. She came closer and I stepped backward as my breath hitched in my throat. My heart thumped heavily against my chest and everywhere suddenly felt hot.
“Hello, Shane. We meet again after a week” She said and closed up the space between us.
With her standing right in front of me and my back against the wall, I knew there was no escape route. I fisted my hands beside me and tried to look anywhere else but at her.
“So tell me, Mr. Good boy. Did you miss me?” She asked and instantly, I felt her knee going up between my legs.
