Blind Love (Sulfur Heights Series) by M.S. Brannon Read Free Book Online Page B

Unlike some people,” the daggers are flying from her eyes as she glares into mine, “I have integrity and stay true to my word once it’s given. Maybe you hanging out with me will be a good thing, Jake. You can learn some much needed morals.”
    My irritation skyrockets . With that very statement she’s proven she’s just like all the snobby bitches on the north side and it’s time to set her straight.
    My voice is laced with anger. I want her to be fully aware she can’t talk to anyone here like that, especially me. “There you go again ; being holier than thou. Listen, cupcake.” I say it just to piss her off even more. Yeah, I’m a dickhead. “My morals are fine and maybe you can learn something too this summer. You’re not better than anyone here. Just because you were raised with money in your hoity-toity gated community, doesn’t make you any more moral than us gutter trash.”
    Hurt flashes in her blues eyes , but it is soon gone and replaced by anger. “I never said I was better than you. I was simply saying tha—”
    “I know what you were sayin g, and I don’t want to hear it. A word to the wise, you’re not better than me and you never will be. So get off your fuckin’ pedestal and live life with the common folk. I guarantee you will learn something.”
    “Jake! Stop putting words in my mouth!”
    “I’ve got something for your mouth.” I’m awarded with another slap across my cheek. The burn against my skin proves she’s got a fire inside of her and it’s going to be my job to bring it out. Her fake, high society persona is not the real her and the smack across my face proves it. She’s passionate. She’s got much more inside than she’s letting on. I’d bet my life on it. Say what you want about me, but if I’m good at one thing, it’s judging someone’s character; it’s one of the main reasons why I’m a great hustler. I can always manage to bring it out.
    “Okay , it’s five after nine,” Jeremy snaps, clearly annoyed. He can’t stand being late. Looking at Delilah he asks, “Are you coming or not?”
    “Where are we going?” Her feelings are hurt, but it always take s being knocked down a couple of pegs before you realize the person you really are.
    “Get in the car and we’ll show you.” I open the door and allow her to climb in. I tried not to look at her ass when she’s getting into the backseat, but it’s really hard to live up to my non-piggish ways. This woman has got the sexiest ass I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Thinking about anything other than her ass is nearly impossible, though it’s a great way to lessen my current state of irritation.
    I’m going to need an outlet for all this pent up energy. I wonder if my little redhead will be at the races tonight. I rarely give second chances to the women I bag, but she made it very clear last night that she’s not looking for a relationship. That’s the best thing a guy like me could ask for.
    We pile in the car and Jeremy plows down the driveway and off to Old Miller’s Road. Once we turn onto the dirt covered roadway, and the closer we get to the starting point, the more cars there are lined up and the crowd of onlookers gets thicker.
    Jeremy eases the car to the starting point where we will be taking on yet another ego-driven asswipe. He thinks his little Honda is going to beat us. Ignorant fucker. This isn’t The Fast and the Furious movie and he’s definitely not Vin Diesel.
    Delilah’s eyes are huge as she looks out her window. She connects them with mine and then back out toward the growing crowd several times. “Uh… what are we doing?”
    I lean back in my seat , staring directly into her eyes. It’s obvious she’s terrified—she looks like a scared little kid—but what she doesn’t know yet is how much fun she’s going to have.
    “ Stay here.” I exit the car and make my way over to Ronnie where everyone is placing bets and exchanging money. I add my bets to the mix and climb back into
