Stepbrother's Debt(7)

Donnie tightened his hand into a fist. The thought of any guy touching Paige infuriated him.

“How do you know so much about her?” Donnie asked.

“You told me about the new stepfamily, and I figured I needed to do my research. She’s a job, right? We’re going to need all the help we can get. None of us know her.”

His anger evaporated at Jake’s explanation.

“No one touches her, okay?” Donnie stared at his three friends, prepared to hurt any of them who tried to touch her.

“Donnie, chill, man. We’re here as your friends. I’m with you. I don’t fuck minors. There’s too much worrying shit to think about when you bag a young one. I’m not interested in waking up in the morning being arrested for rape when the slut was begging for it,” Tonio said.

Donnie nodded his head as they walked down to class. They didn’t even need to attend school, but he was interested in how Paige would play their new connection. Would she start telling everyone that she was related to him? Would she try to become popular? His curiosity was getting the better of him.

He had her class schedule, and seeing as she was younger than he was, none of their classes came together. They entered the classroom, going straight to the back seats of class. The teacher paused long enough for them to take their seats. No one said a word as they interrupted homeroom.

Tapping his fingers on the desk, he glanced at Jake, who’d sat by the window. He took his bodyguard duties to the extreme.

“You’re going to need to get her file from the main office,” Jake said. “They’ll have everything there. Her background, the places she lived, her grades, where she is failing. Maybe you can help her out.”

Glancing over at his friend, Donnie smiled. “I like that plan.”

“I don’t like this,” Luiz said. “I’m not in the fucking mood to play the nice friend.”

“You don’t need to play the nice friend. All you’ve got to do is have my back.”

“I tell you, if she comes swarming around us with underage bitches, I’m out of there,” Tonio said.

Donnie wasn’t interested in having anyone around him. He really couldn’t give his friends a warning when the truth was, he didn’t know what to expect himself. In the few hours he’d known Paige, she’d done her best to stay out of his way. She wouldn’t even take the ride he offered her that very morning. He was a little pissed with the way she’d cut down that alley toward school.

“We’ve got a job to do, and I’m not going to back out of my responsibilities. After class we’re going to the main office. I want everything on that file.”

“And we’re going to be the distractions, right?” Luiz asked. “Which one of you fuckers am I beating the shit out of?”

Donnie laughed as Luiz and Jake played rock, paper, scissors with each other for the fight. Jake lost, so he’d be the one throwing punches. Donnie called that he was present, aware of the blondes giggling across the room. Neither he nor his friends looked over toward the collection of fucks. They’d all fucked the five girls at some point, and none of them were anything special. While they were on a job, sleeping around wasn’t on the menu. The girls at school were good for practice. He couldn’t fuck anyone in The Family. The women and the daughters were to be treated with love and respect.

The bell rang ten minutes later. He cut away from his three friends to head to the main office. The principal was locked up in the office, and so was his secretary. It would be easy to just go and risk being caught searching for Paige’s file. Instead, he heard the commotion. Hiding behind a door, he listened as the math teacher, Mr. Adams, shouted for help. There was already a shitload of commotion coming. Luiz and Jake were causing enough of a distraction that he was able to slip into the file room. He went straight for the cabinet marked J then scrolled through. Paige’s file was so small that it had fallen under the stack. Donnie grabbed the file, placed it inside his jacket and walked out of the main office. It took all of ten minutes.

“What’s going on?” he asked a pimply kid.

The kid in question almost shit his pants. Pushing his way through the crowd, Donnie waited for them to see who they were fucking with. The moment they did, the crowd parted like the sea.

Luiz spotted him at the same time as Jake. They pulled away from each other, slapping the other on the back and cheering.

“What is the meaning of this?” the principal said.

“What?” Luiz asked. “He told me I had a small dick. I was going to defend my honor. Most of you girls here know I don’t.”
