Ana

After leaving dinner, we got into the limo and took the drive back to Ted's place. Once we got there, we walked to the door and the guys left us alone for a split second and Vi and I clung to each other, holding tight. As we walked in, Vi and I were still clinging to each other desperately. We reached the top of the stairs when Cody came over. I was pushed behind Vi as she stood as strong as she could. Vi and Cody started yelling at each other and I was getting more scared for Vi the longer they went at it. The look in Cody's eyes was deadly and I felt nothing but fear. Cody walked over toward us until our backs were against the wall. I was trembling as Vi kept me behind her, trying to keep Cody away. I saw rage come over Cody's face when he walked over and raised his hand, making contact with Vi's face so hard she fell down. I yelled at Cody to get away from her, pulling Cody's arm to get him away from Vi. Cody then reached up and smacked me across the face, causing me to fall. I could hear her Vi calling for me, then all of a sudden she went silent. I looked up to see Ted holding Vi and saying something to her. After he said something to her, she stopped struggling. Cody then grabbed my arm and yanked me up and started to pull me to his room.

“An-” I heard Vi start to yell, only for the rest to be muffled.

Getting to Cody's room, I was shaking in fear of what he might have planned. Surprisingly, when we got in he just let me go with no struggle. I walked over to the bed and sat down as Cody closed and locked the door. I swallowed hard and took a deep yet shaky breath. Cody turned to me and shot me a glare, telling me not to move. Biting my lip, I did as he silently said. He walked over to a dresser and pulled out a short nightgown. Walking over to the bed, he looked down at me.

“Put this on.” Cody hissed, handing me the short, skimpy chemise. I slowly reached up and grabbed it before standing and walking toward the bathroom.

“Here!” Cody stopped me and pointed to the stop in front of him. I bit my lip and closed my eyes, looking down.

“This or nothing?” Cody stated with a grin.

“This!” I shouted.

“What are you waiting for?” Cody said, licking his lips.

I slowly started to remove my dress before letting it fall to the floor. As I was about to put on the chemise I was given, Cody stopped me. I could feel his eyes on me as he took in every inch of my naked body. Once he was done, he told me to get dressed.

Once I was dressed, Cody dragged me to bed. I laid down, trying not to get Cody any more mad. He laid on the bed next to me and draped his arm over me, running his hands up and down my side. I closed my eyes and bit my lip, trying not to let him get to me. He pulled me closer to him and started to kiss the back of my neck, causing me to shiver at the touch. His hands were slowly making their way up my thigh and once he was at the hem of the dress he squeezed my thigh and hit the soft spot on my neck, getting a moan to escape me.

Cody smirked and pulled away. “Like that?” his tone was cocky.

I shook my head, causing Cody to get angry as he tightened his hold on my thigh, causing me to cry out.

“Yes!” I cried, giving him the answer he wanted.

“Yes what?!” Cody pretended that he did not know, making me say it.

“Yes...I liked that!” I cried, causing Cody to smirk.

“Good.” Cody said, all proud of himself.

He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. After pulling away, he whispered, “Sleep!” Nodding my head, I rolled over a bit, his arm still draped over me.

Ted

After another struggle, I had to teach Violet a lesson. Man did I pick a feisty one. Not that I mind, that was one of the reasons I was attracted to her. As I was lying there watching her sleep in my arms, I was gently running my hands down her back and through her long, soft brown hair. She was even more beautiful when she was asleep, and more calm. I was brought out of my thoughts when my phone rang. Reaching over to grab it, I saw it was my father.

“What does he want?!” I groaned to myself. Picking up my phone, I answered it.

“Hello?” I whispered, not wanting to wake Violet just yet.

My dad began to talk about how he needed me to come down to the training facility. I hated going there. I had my own business to run, not that my family knew about that part. I kept that to myself and Cody. Cody was my right-hand man in everything. The only thing dad's place was good for was laundering my money. It was so easy and no one ever found out.

“Why can't Brett do it?!” I asked, annoyed. I really didn't feel like dealing with those people when I had MY own business to run. He told me Brett had the day off and I should come down since I will be running it soon. Yeah, that is what he thinks. I have my own empire that I am running and I will not be following him. Brett could have that job.

“Give me an hour and I'll be there.” I said, frustrated, before hanging up. No use arguing with him. I need to check my shipments anyway.

Looking down at Violet, I did not want to leave her. Sighing, I shifted and laid her on the bed, her making a small noise. I wrapped her in the blanket from the bed and gently lifted her up and took her to Cody's room. After fumbling with the door, I headed down to Cody's room and knocked on the door with my foot. A sleeping Cody answered the door, rubbing his eyes.

“What's up?” Cody yawned, looking at me curiously.

“I have to go out for a few hours.” I said. “Watch her?” I asked Cody.

“Sure.” Cody said, grinning a bit.

I walked in and over to the bed, laying her down next to Ana who was also still sleeping. I moved the hair off her face and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

Turning to Cody, I gave him a look. “Do not try anything.” I warned him.

“I'll try.” Cody smirked.

“I mean it.” My tone got more serious. I swear he was a horny bastard, but he was my best friend. He lived for this kind of stuff.

“Alright.” Cody chuckled, holding his hands up in defense. He better if he knows what is good for him. I won't hesitate to put a bullet in him.

I nodded and looked at Violet one last time before heading back to my room to get ready for the long day ahead.

Violet

As I was starting to wake up, I noticed I was in a different room. Looking to my left, I saw Ana lying there. I slowly turned my head and was looking around. No Ted. No Cody. I started to lightly shake Ana's arm.

“A. Wake up.” I whispered, shaking her arm, trying to wake her up. This was our chance to get away.

“NO!” Ana screamed, jolting awake, breathing heavily.

“Shhhh. It is me.” I whispered, trying to calm her.

“Oh Vi! Thank god!” Ana breathed a sigh of relief, rolling over and hugging me.

“We need to go!” I stated, slowly sitting up on the bed.

“No! You saw what happened last night!” Ana's voice was full of worry and concern. She was right. Last night did not go well, but I was willing to take it if it meant getting out of here.

“I will do whatever it takes to get us out of here!” I said, my voice strong, until the door opened. I looked over and saw Cody walk in with a smirk on his face.

“You are both up.” He said, walking over to the bed and licking his lips.

“Stay away!” I hollered, only for him to not listen.

“If I don't?” He challenged, leaning on the bed between us.

“I will make sure that you will not be able to do anything to her again!” I spat, looking down and raising my knee.

“You will not!” Cody spat, grabbing my leg and pushing it down, pinning it to the bed.

He then leaned over to Ana, grabbing her with his right hand and pulling her closer to him.

“AH!” Ana cried once his hand was around her arm.

“Shut. Up!” Cody spat, his grip getting tighter on both of us.

Leaning down, Cody began to kiss and suck at Ana's neck, as he was starting to run his hand further up my thigh.

“STOP!” I screamed, trying to get out of his grip. No way was he going to do that to her in front of me or at all.

“See what happens.” Cody glared after pulling away from Ana.

I bit my lip and nodded my head, looking over at Ana who had fear in her eyes. Cody then let us both go and we pulled each other closer and clung to each other. Cody then strutted over to his closet and got clothes to wear. Once he was done, he walked back out and smirked over at us.

“Cody!” I frantically said. “C-Can Ana and I go out to the pool today?” I asked, looking down and biting my lip. Cody thought for a moment and let out a sigh.

“If you do not run.” His voice had a warning to it. “Plus, I do not think you will be able to. We have eyes on you at all times.” Cody added with a smirk.

I cursed under my breath and let out a sigh. Just who were these guys?

“We won't.” I said, as meaningful as I could.

“There are clothes in that dresser.” Cody said, pointing to a dresser by his closet. Taking one last look at us, Cody walked out of the room.

Ana looked over at me. “Nice, but why?” she asked, curiosity in her voice.

“Well, I heard Ted on the phone and he had to go to his dad's place and Brett has the day off.” I explained in a whisper. “Plus, maybe he can help us.” I added, hopefulness in my voice.

“Be careful.” Ana sighed as she started to get up.

“I can try.” I mumbled, getting up as well, making sure the blanket was still wrapped around me.

We walked over to the dresser and picked out two swimsuits and Ana got changed in the closet while I got changed in the room itself. We grabbed a few towels and walked out of the room and headed downstairs. We were able to avoid Cody on the way, which was a good thing. We walked out to the pool area and noticed that the walls were high. To high to climb. We set our towels down and laid on the lounge chairs that were poolside. I laid on my stomach as Ana laid on her back.

Cody

After agreeing to let the girls out of the house, I sighed. Ted would kill me, but it is something they need. If we are going to have them, we have to earn their trust.

This was one way of doing it. I walked down the stairs and went into the family room and turned on the TV. I heard hushed whispers followed by the opening, then the door on the door. I stood up to see the girls walking to the pool. A grin appeared on my face at how sexy they looked. I figured, give them some time alone, then go out and join them. I sat back down on the couch and started to watch them on the TV. After a bit of silence, I heard the front door open and close.

“Hello?” I heard a voice call.

“In here.” I responded, loud enough to be heard.

I was looking in the direction of the door and saw Brett walking through the kitchen. I rolled my eyes as he reached the family room.

“Ted is not here.” I stated, voice flat.

“Oh.” Brett's voice lowered as he looked around. “When will he be back?” He asked, looking back at me.

“A few hours.” I said, my voice slightly annoyed.

“Alright.” Brett said, turning to leave. “Is that Violet out there?” Brett asked, noticing Ana and Violet by the pool.

“Yes.” I said flatly, getting more impatient.

“Cool. I am going to go say hello.” Brett said, and walked away before I could stop him.

I quickly got out my phone and called Ted. When Ted answered he sounded annoyed.

“Hey man, just want to let you know Brett is here and he is out there with the girls.” I told Ted and his whole tone and attitude changed.
