I ran after Maya as fast as I could, my heart pounding in my chest. The parking lot was starting to fill up with students leaving for the day, but I didn’t care who was watching. All I could think about was the look on her face when she saw me with Clara. I couldn’t let her walk away like that.

“Maya, please wait!” I called out, catching up to her and grabbing her hand. She turned around fast, her eyes red and full of pain.

Before I could say anything else, she slapped me hard across the face.

  • A Dirty Little Secret    Chapter 27: Waking Up to Consequences

    I woke up tied to a chair. My head was pounding, my vision blurry. The room was dark and smelled like old beer and sweat. My wrists were bound tight behind my back with rope that dug into my skin. I tried to move, but the pain in my ribs made me gasp. Everything hurt.The first person I saw was Jordan. He was standing in front of me, arms crossed, that smug grin on his face. Two other guys were with him — big, tough-looking guys from the team or maybe just his friends. I didn’t recognize them.“What the fuck are you guys doing?” I mumbled, my voice hoarse and weak. My mouth tasted like blood.Jordan laughed and came closer to me. “You hurt Maya. I won’t forgive you for that.” He signaled to the boys he brought with him. “Teach him a lesson.”The first punch came fast. It landed hard on my jaw, snapping my head to the side. Pain exploded in my face like fire. I tasted more blood. The second guy punched me in the stomach. The air left my lungs in a sharp gasp. I doubled over as much as

She turned around fast, her eyes red and full of pain.Before I could say anything else, she slapped me hard across the face. The sting was sharp, but it was nothing compared to the hurt in her eyes. People in the parking lot started stopping to watch, whispering and pulling out their phones. I didn’t care. I just wanted her to listen.“You are doing it again,” she said, her voice breaking as she scoffed. “I don’t even know why I bother. You are not mine to begin with. This whole thing—” She pointed between us. “I’m done.”Her words hit me like a punch. I felt my chest tighten. The anger, the guilt, the frustration fro

  • A Dirty Little Secret    Chapter 25: Caught in the Act

    Leo’s POVI walked out of the clinic and immediately regretted it. The look on Maya’s face when I left kept replaying in my head like a bad movie. She had been crying, begging me to stay, and I just turned my back and left. I hated myself for it. I hated how weak I was being lately. Everything was falling apart — the fight in the cafeteria, the leaked videos, the way I kept hurting her. I couldn’t breathe. I needed to get out of there.I walked straight to Coach’s office without thinking. Maybe he could give me some advice, or at least let me sit there for a few minutes and calm down. I didn’t even knock. I just pushed the door open, hoping he was alone.What I saw stopped me cold.My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Rain, was on top of Coach on his desk. Her skirt was pulled up around her waist, and his hands were gripping her hips. They were kissing like the world was ending. I stood there frozen, my brain refusing to process what I was seeing.“Leo, don’t you knock before entering someone’s

    Maya’s POVThe hallway floor was cold against my knees. I didn’t feel it at first. All I could see was Leo lying there, eyes closed, face pale, his body completely still. My heart was pounding so loud I could hear it in my ears.“Leo? Leo please wake up!” I yelled, my voice cracking as I shook his shoulder gently. “Somebody help!!”A crowd was forming fast — students whispering, phones out, teachers pushing through. Someone called for the nurse. I didn’t care about any of them. All I cared about was Leo. My hands were shaking as I brushed his hair back from his forehead. “Please wake up… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for everything.”He didn’t respond. He didn’t even move. His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, but his eyes stayed shut. Guilt hit me hard. How did I let it get this bad? All the times I pushed him away, treated him like a mistake because he was my stepbrother. The arguments, the silences, the way I hurt him. This was my fault.The door burst open and a nurse rushed in. “

  • A Dirty Little Secret    Chapter 23: Exposed

    I woke up the next morning at my uncle’s place feeling like I’d been hit by a truck. My body was weak, every muscle aching like I’d run a marathon in my sleep. My head pounded, and for a second I just lay there staring at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was. The guest room smelled faintly of fresh linen and the rain from last night. I reached for my phone on the nightstand, expecting maybe a few messages from my parents asking where I’d disappeared to.Instead, the screen lit up with dozens of missed calls and texts. Mom. Dad. Even a couple from Coach. My stomach dropped. I quickly texted the group chat with my parents: “I’m at Uncle’s. I’m fine. Don’t worry.”Before I could even put the phone down, it started buzzing again, nonstop notifications flooding in. Group chats. School page tags. DMs from numbers I didn’t even recognize. My heart started racing before my brain caught up.I opened the school’s main page.And there it was.Videos. Moans. Clips of me and Maya tangled u

  • A Dirty Little Secret    Chapter 22: Shattered Trust

    I got home feeling like I’d been run over by a truck. The fight in the cafeteria, Maya’s face when I accidentally hit her, the way she told me to go it was all replaying in my head on a loop. I couldn’t breathe. The second I stepped into my room, something inside me snapped.I grabbed the first thing I saw — a trophy from last season and hurled it against the wall. It shattered with a loud crack. I didn’t stop. I ripped posters off the wall, knocked books off my shelf, kicked over the chair by my desk. Everything I could reach went flying. Glass from a picture frame crunched under my shoes. My breathing was ragged, chest heaving like I’d just finished a full-ice sprint.I dropped to the floor in the middle of the mess, head in my hands. Tears burned my eyes. I couldn’t take it anymore. The guilt, the jealousy, the pressure from Marcus, the way I kept hurting the one person I loved more than anything — it was all too much. I was losing everything. My team, my future, Maya. And it was

    Leo’s POVLook, I’ve spent three fucking years pretending I don’t want to rip Maya’s clothes off every single time she walks into a room. Three years of clenching my jaw so tight it hurt, forcing my eyes away from the way her tight little tank tops stretched across her full tits, or how her shorts

    Leo’s POVI came downstairs with my hair still damp, rubbing the back of my neck like that would somehow wipe away the mess upstairs.The smell of Nora’s roasted chicken hit me first—warm, familiar, the kind of smell that usually made the house feel like home.Tonight it just twisted my stomach.

    My blood was boiling as I stormed straight toward Clara. She was still leaning against the lockers like she owned the fucking hallway, that smug little smile playing on her lips. The photo burned in my mind—Maya’s shirt shoved up, my fingers buried between her thighs, her face twisted in pleasure.

    I slipped into class ten minutes late, the door creaking loud enough to make every head turn. My neck still burned from Maya’s lipstick and the fresh hickeys she’d sucked into my skin.My cock was half-hard just from the memory of her tight, dripping cunt clenching around me in that closet.“Mr. Lu
