The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0527

I had been naked for a while, but suddenly, with Bridget here now, seeing us, I felt vulnerable and exposed in a way I had never been with just Nicholas alone.

I held up the towel, blocking as much of myself - and Nicholas - as I could.

"What the hell, Bridget?" Nicholas snapped. Where my first instinct had been

embarrassment, Nicholas's had been anger. He twisted me in his arms, hiding me behind the cover of his body as much as he could. "Since when don't you knock."

Instead of leaving, Bridget came more fully into the room and then casually closed the door behind her. She turned back around, facing us, and she glared at us both.

"I'd wanted to talk to you, Nicholas. Privately, I had no idea you'd have... company." The word dripped with venom.

"Leave, Bridget," Nicholas said, his voice lowering dangerously. "Now."

Bridget crossed her arms. "You both must think I'm some kind of idiot. I've suspected you have been screwing around for a while now."

"This isn't your business," I said, voicing my own displeasure. She seemed perfectly content to stand there and judge our nakedness. "At least tum your back!"

Bridget totally ignored me. She kept her glare leveled entirely at Nicholas. "As your friend, it's my job to tell you how absolutely careless you are being."

To be fair, we really should have made sure that door was locked. Yet I got the feeling that wasn't what Bridget had been talking about.

"Do you have any idea the damage you are doing to Piper by indulging her like this?" Bridget said. Her face was twisted with anger.

She seemed genuinely upset... on my behalf?

What the hell was she talking about?

"Piper isn't like us, Nicholas. She'll get the wrong idea," Bridget continued. "You shouldn't toy with someone who might start to dream of a better life than the terrible one that waits for her when she goes back home."

Wait. What the hell!

"My life isn't terrible," I said, just as Nicholas said, "I'm not toying around."
