CHAPTER 26 : MASKED UP
Staring down at Dante, sickness squeezed my stomach, and I stared at him. How could this happen? Why would he do this?
“You bastard” roared Gage, slamming his fist quickly into Dante’s face. Blood spurted from his nose. Crimson colors of pain.
“How could you? “ Gage cried, flying his hand forward again. I shrieked in horror at the assault. Dante lay bloody and battered on the floor. Forrest stood up as we stared down at him.
“Explain why,” I said quietly while watching him. Something must have happened for him to betray Gage and Quinn like that. Something big. “ He’s got them “, he slurred, trying to sit up. Forrest leaned down, hauling him up quickly. “Got who ?” I asked, leaning down to him.
“My son and wife. He wants information on you Story,” he cried out, clutching his ribs. Gage glanced at me and looked back at him.
“You betrayed me and my family, Don”, bellowed Gage angrily. He stormed behind the sofa, eager to escape the scene before someone else got hurt.
“I can’t let anything happen to them, Gage. I’m protecting my family like you are yours,” he managed, wiping his face and staring at the blood on his hands, almost like it destroyed him to see himself so injured and in pain. He was like Gage, and it hurt his pride. He may be free of Ryder, but now he wasn’t free of my stalker. Just like me, he was trapped in worry and pain at the thought of his loved ones being hurt.
“Get some ice “, I snapped, looking at Gage. His cold blue eyes glared at me. But he walked away slowly, eyes on Don the entire time. But he walked away slowly, eyes on Don the entire time.
“He’s made me plant a device well, he wants me to”, he murmured quietly.
“ I’m sorry, Story”, he stated quickly. His swollen blue eye looked up at me in so much despair I felt sick. His family was gone. He was desperate, and for that, I could forgive. I’d do anything for my family, and they all knew it. Gage came in, handing me the ice. He returned to pacing. Not looking at me as he did. I put the ice on Don’s face and looked at Forrest. His face was swollen and hard. The bruising would be bad. I saw no remorse in Gage's blue eyes, though, none at all.
“Okay, we need a plan”, I said. Forrest nodded.
“I’ve texted Tyler. He’ll come up with something”, managed Forrest, suddenly standing up. He paced the apartment, looking for something. Then he pointed and mimed for us all to be quiet. He pulled at something on the ceiling, and a small little button fell out.
“The whole place is bugged”, he managed quietly. Gage marched forward towards Don, hitting him again.
“Let me guess. Quinn has been helping you,” snarled Gage quietly. Dante stared at me, then nodded. Pain sliced through my chest. How could she help him? I thought she was my best friend. Turns out she wasn’t. Laying in bed the next morning, Forrest had me bundled softly into his warm arms. He was whispering how beautiful I was. And I believed him. He then pressed his head to mine and smiled.
“You know when all this is over, I’m going to take you away”, he whispered, stroking his hand softly down my thigh.
“I’m good with that”, I managed, pressing my lips to his softly. He kissed me back with just as much passion.
“I love you, Story”, he stated. I grinned at him.
“ I love you too,” I whispered. His tongue slipped down my throat. His hand slipped into my panties, and I moaned at the intrusion.
“Did you miss me ?” He asked sweetly a question. I laughed and nodded as he pressed his body closer to mine. I laughed and nodded as he pressed his body closer to mine. He slid his free hand down my face, and I moaned his name. Then he began taking my clothes off whilst whispering how sexy I was. Without warning, he pushed inside of me, and I whimpered at the harsh intrusion. He was so beautiful. As he fucked me hard and fast, I thought about the feeling of his soft touches and his small whispers.

Tyler smiled at me as he helped me write an essay. I smiled back at him. His beautiful face studied me. He was so observant and watched me with so much love and attention. It made me stare up at him in awe. “You know you're so hot when you're bossy”, I murmured as he lectured me about using the wrong pronouns.
”Oh, do I ?” He grinned, pressing his lips to mine softly. I melted into him. He pushed my notebook to the floor and climbed over me. His big member pressed against me, and I moaned his name.
“Oh, Tyler”, I moaned as he ran his tongue softly against my neck. Tasting. Wanting me. He then slowly unbuttoned my shirt and began to pull it off. He ran his hand down my stomach, and I moaned against his soft lips. His beautiful grey eyes shined as he stared up at me. He then began undoing his belt and unzipping his zipper when the door opened. Zack and Gage stood. Zack had a huge grin on his face, his blue eyes shining gloriously.
“I missed out again”, he moaned, swaggering towards me and running his hand down my face.
“You needy little thing”, he mocked, pressing a quick kiss to my swollen lips. Tyler grabbed my shirt and helped me back into it. Gage stared us down. My shirt was back on neat, and I turned to Gage.
“This better be good”, I stated with a sigh. Tyler smirked, grabbing my hand. Gage was such a cockblock
***
“I was going over camera footage from the wedding, and I found something very interesting”, stated Gage, showing the laptop screen to me and Tyler. Both of us studied it and looked at each other in confusion.
“What exactly are we looking at” I mumbled, flicking my gaze to Gage. He rolled them ice eyes, and I smirked.
“ Look who was outside your wedding venue”, he managed, pointing at the screen. I gulped.
“She wasn’t invited. I was in charge of the guest list”, managed Tyler. I thought about it while staring at the screen as the boys spoke. What was Gabriella’s mom doing at my wedding?
