Burning Ultimatum (Trevor's Harem #4) Read Online Free PDF

Her eyes are the light green of a deep ocean. She has that perfect little nose, that sweet little spray of freckles across it. Her lips are fuller than mine without being too full. Her boobs are bigger and better. I want to shout at Jessica but can’t summon the anger. All I can think as I stand awkwardly in front of her is that I’m woefully inadequate.
    “Bridget,” she says. “I’m … ”  
    I firm my lips. It was just sex, right?  
    “You sure are,” I interrupt, unable to bar the venom from my voice.
    “Look. You don’t … ” She stops, then starts again. “There’s stuff that Daniel and I needed to do that you couldn’t know about, for your own good.”  
    “And Kat? What did you do for Kat’s ‘own good,’ other than spilling the secret she told us in confidence and asked us never to tell?”  
    Jessica says nothing. So it’s all true. She’s not even protesting.  
    “What’s up, Jess? You don’t even want to insult me by denying it?”  
    She opens her mouth. I see the same hesitation that stopped her before, and then those lips — so much plumper than mine — close. Her eyes flicker as if trying to decide on her words, from the billions of things she could say. It’s strange to see. Jessica has always been a chatterbox. The fact that she can’t say more than a few words to me now reveals more of her traitorous side — maybe the real Jessica.  
    The worst part is that she’s ruining something for me that I should have known better than to expect. I came here anticipating the worst sorts of people, but Jessica and Kat — and Erin, before her elimination — made me believe. There really are people in the world I can rely on . But I was right in the beginning: every girl in this world is out for herself.  
    “How many times did you go into that secret room with him, Jess?”  
    “I don’t know.”  
    “He’s using you, you know. Like he used me.”  
    “Look, Bridget … ”  
    “Oh, but of course. You’re just screwing him, is all. And you’re getting something out of this, too. You’re using him as much as he’s using you, so it works out.” I look back over my shoulder, where I hear something break. I’m hoping for a swag bag, when I leave this place, that includes   surveillance footage from the dining room right now. They’ll to need to bring in a hoist to get Kylie back up on her heels. And I’ll bet Logan walks through and beats off on her at least once before that happens. “But good luck taking Kylie down without Kat’s help. Maybe you played me, and maybe you played Kat. But Kylie is going to play you even harder. She’s going to take first place now, and the best you’ll do is second, same as before. You’ll end up right where you were. The only difference is that now you’ve shown them who you really are.”  
    She looks hurt, absorbing my barbs. Good. Guilt is grist for the soul.  
    “It’s not like that,” she says.  
    “It’s not? Then tell me, Jess. Tell me how it is.”  
    Her beautiful, conflicted eyes flick away.  
    “Come on. Explain. Tell me how Kat’s secret leaked to Kylie at the same time as one of my secrets — something even you didn’t know. Something only Daniel could know. Tell me how this is just a big misunderstanding. You were sneaking off with Daniel to play checkers. And the two of you, while definitely not fucking each other dry, just sit around talking about how pretty I am, and how much you like me.”  
    I stop. Jessica still won’t look at me. Finally, she does, and her eyes are slightly wet.  
    “I didn’t want to hurt you,” she says.  
    “Then I guess you didn’t use that memory of yours to remember how to not be a cunt. Because you’re doing it wrong.”  
    She reaches for my arm. In a second I see that hand on Daniel’s unshaven cheek. I see it running across his muscular chest. I see those long fingers wrapped around his manhood, giving him pleasure. It’s all I can do not to hit her.
