"I can't wait to suck your cock, I bet it's soooo big."
Fuck.
I raised a brow at the boldness of the blonde next to me. Looks like someone has been a very naughty girl.
Smiling seductively, she grazed her long purple nails along my thighs, causing my dick to twitch in my pants. Good lord, I was so responsive for her. Sitting upright, I dragged my gaze from her to the Professor, making sure he hadn't caught on to what was happening at the back of his classroom. I would be thoroughly fucked if he did. Lucky for me, the old guy was too engrossed solving an algebra equation. Yawn. The blonde was way more interesting.
I must say, I did not expect I'II be fucking a girl first day of sophomore, especially being the new guy. But when you're me; the famous Nick Beaufort, girls tend to take notice and the blonde kneeling infront me was of course no exception.
She wasn't my certain type, though. But she was down to fuck wherever and whenever, and she'd be fine even if I didn't call her back the next day. And well.. the last couple of weeks sucked a bit, giving me added reason to accept her offer. There was nothing like spending break in a camp full of boys, to make you miss the touch of a woman.
The blonde.. I didn't even know her name yet, leaned into me, the heat of her lips on my leg as she whispered, "Just imagine, daddy.. you can come on my face, or I can swallow. Swallowing’s always hotter," her voice a soft purr that made my skin prickle with need.
I couldn't help the smirk that tugged at my lips. Girls this forward were rare. Hell, I might have even respected her boldness, if she wasn't making my dick throb in my pants. Just as I was about to suggest we take this to the closet, the person infront of us spun around, cutting me off mid-thought.
"Jesus! What is wrong with you assholes!" He whisper-yelled, his voice sending an unexpected jolt through me.
I blinked, taken aback by the sudden outburst. My attention shifted from the blonde to the angry figure infront of me. The hood of his deep brown hoodie was pulled slightly over his face, but when he turned and I caught sight of the tumble of chestnut locks pouring down around his shoulders, softer jaw and proper dick-sucking lips, I realized he was actually a she.
Her hood covered most parts of her face, and her gaze darkened with something violent. For a moment I thought she was going to slap me. God, I almost wish she did.
Glaring angrily at us, she continued. "For fuck's sake this is a classroom not a motel. Some of us are here to learn not listen to your dirty talks. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
I felt my body stiffened. Why the fuck were the pretty ones always so rude and unreasonable? For fuck's sake, she could have asked us to stop nicely. A please wouldn't have been so bad, but no, she just had to open her mouth and display how much of an arrogant brat she was.
She opened her mouth to continue her pathetic ranting, but I interrupted her. "Do you have a problem with sex?"
She bit her bottom lips, before letting out a small laugh. Her laughter sounding in my belly like trouble, the kind of trouble I wanted to drag into bed and ruin. "God! You're arrogant."
I smirked wickedly. "I'II take that as a compliment."
Her features visibly contorted in disgust. "Ew, are you by any means flirting with me? My God! You're disgusting. Let's see what the Professor has to say about this."
I instantly grabbed the arm of her hoodie, as if it would stop her from ratting me out if she wanted to. The contact sending an instant jolt through me, all of them deeply unsettling... She quickly pulled away as though she's been burned.
"Don't touch me." She snapped, her cheeks flushed. "You'll both keep shut for the rest of the class. Or I swear to God I would gladly rat you out to the Professor infront of the whole class." With one last scowl at us, she spuned to the front, swiftly dismissing us.
I glared at the back of her head, contemplating saying something. Was she even worth it? She clearly didn't know who I was, or she didn't care. And I had the feeling she would surely tattle on us if we didn't stop.
The blonde next to me, begged to differ. "Bitch."
I watched the girl shoulders visibly tensed, but she stayed quiet. Usually, I wouldn't agree with the blonde words, but not today. Chestnut hair could have simply asked us to stop nicely, but no, not only did she display how rude she was, she even threatened to tell on us. So now we were all forced to sit in awkward silence while our Professor droned on in the background. Not once did my eyes leave the back of her head, I was'nt used to girls telling me what to do. But her.. this sinfully attractive girl with a mouth made for doing very bad things just walked over me. And she was about to find out exactly what happens when you fucked with the wrong guy on the wrong day.
A week changed the shape of the days.The lake cabin stopped feeling like a place they were borrowing and started collecting small evidence of permanence. Ariana’s shampoo beside the bathroom sink. Nick’s second mug left upside down on the drying rack. A grocery list stuck to the refrigerator with a magnet that had nothing to do with survival. They still woke reaching for each other, but the reaching had changed. It was no longer a check for injuries or the confirmation of continued breathing. It was simply want.On the eighth morning Nick stood at the window with a cup of coffee and said, without turning around, “I think we should put a real name on the lease.”Ariana looked up from the book she had been pretending to read. “Which name?”“Mine. Or yours. Or something we choose together. I don’t care which. I just don’t want this place to exist under another alias.” He finally glanced at her. “I’m tired of living like we’re already preparing to run.”The words hung between them, heavi
On the fourth morning at the lake, Nick did not reach for a weapon when the phone buzzed.He simply picked it up, read the message, and set it face-down on the nightstand. Ariana watched the small shift in his shoulders—the last visible piece of combat readiness easing out of him like air leaving a room.“Daniel?” she asked.“It’s finished.” Nick turned onto his side to face her. Morning light caught the fading marks on his skin. “The last two contacts Victor named were picked up overnight. The money trails are frozen. The shell companies are already collapsing. Daniel says the people who bankrolled the whole thing have gone dark. They’re cutting losses.”Ariana let the words settle. For weeks every piece of good news had felt temporary, like a pause between threats. This one felt heavier. Final, in a way that was almost frightening.“So what do we do now?”Nick’s hand settled at her waist, thumb brushing the bare skin above the sheet. “We stop treating this place like a hideout. We s
The second day at the lake passed without a single siren, gunshot, or raised voice.Ariana woke to the sound of water lapping against the dock and the warmer weight of Nick’s arm across her waist. For a long minute she did not move. She simply catalogued the absence of danger the way she had once catalogued exits. No blood. No radio static. No one sleeping with a weapon within reach.Nick’s breathing changed. He pressed his mouth to the back of her shoulder.“You’re thinking loud.”“I’m trying to remember what people do when nothing is hunting them.”He made a low sound that might have been a laugh and rolled her onto her back. Morning light cut across the bed in clean lines. There were no bandages to change, no bruises to check with careful fingers. Only skin and the slower curiosity of two people who no longer needed to prove they had survived the night.They stayed in bed until the sun cleared the trees.Later, Nick made coffee with the focus of a man performing an unfamiliar ritua
They left the motel before the sun fully cleared the horizon.No convoy this time. No second vehicle trailing at a careful distance. Daniel had taken a different route at the last junction, heading toward the city to finish what remained of Victor’s network. Evelyn rode with them only as far as the regional rail station, where she would board a train south to stay with an old university friend who still owed her silence and a guest room.The goodbye was quiet.Evelyn held Ariana for a long time on the platform, then looked past her daughter’s shoulder at Nick.“Take care of her. And let her take care of you.”Nick inclined his head once. “I will.”Then Evelyn was gone, swallowed by the morning crowd, and the car felt larger without her.Nick drove west.He had not told Ariana the destination, only that it was far enough from every name they had used and every place they had bled. She did not ask. For the first time in weeks she found she did not need the map. The simple fact of the ro
The retrieval team arrived just after full dark.Three unmarked vehicles rolled into the clearing without headlights. Men and women in plain clothes stepped out, efficient and silent. They secured Victor without ceremony, checked his injuries, and loaded him into the middle vehicle. No questions were asked in front of Ariana or Evelyn. Daniel spoke quietly with the team leader for several minutes, then returned with a simple nod.“They’ll extract every name he has. After that, he disappears into a system that doesn’t lose people.”Nick stood with one arm around Ariana’s shoulders, watching the vehicles turn and disappear back down the access road. Only when the last taillights vanished between the trees did the tension in his body begin to ease.“It’s done,” he said.Ariana leaned into him. “Part of it.”“The worst part.” He pressed a kiss to her temple. “The rest we handle together.”They spent one final night at the station. Daniel and Evelyn took the ground floor. Nick and Ariana r
The ranger station smelled of cordite, dust, and the metallic edge of blood.Victor sat on the floor against the far wall, wrists bound, shoulder roughly bandaged with strips torn from his own shirt. Daniel stood over him with a weapon loose at his side, expression unreadable. Evelyn had retreated to the side room, the door half-closed, giving herself a moment to absorb the fact that the man who had once been family now bled under guard.Nick had not let go of Ariana since the moment Victor hit the floor.He held her against the wall just inside the main room, one arm locked around her waist, the other hand buried in her hair, forehead pressed to hers. His breathing was still uneven. Every few seconds his fingers flexed against her as if confirming she was solid, warm, alive.“I’m here,” she whispered. “Nick. I’m right here.”He made a low sound and kissed her—hard, desperate, the kind of kiss that belonged to the seconds after almost losing everything. She kissed him back with the sa
