ETHAN

Stay away. That’s what I’ve decided to do. Stay the hell away from Piper because no good can come from the shit going on in my head. In my fucking body. Fuck no. Not the way I want to find her on campus just so I can see her for even a second. Definitely not the way I want to talk to her. Send her a text and see what kind of response I’ll get after being such an ass. Even if she’s ready to rip me a new one for some idiotic thing I’ve said. Or if she wants to tell me to go to hell for the way I’ve treated her lately. I’m tempted to want to hear all of it. It’s kind of turning me on. Because at least that way she’s talking to me.

Shit.

I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. Suddenly, I can’t focus without thinking about another one of her kisses. Or the way I want to pull her into my arms and hold onto her. The way we fit together when I fuck her. Or the ways I want to suck face like I’m still in high school, because, fuck, every time I kiss her it’s like the best one I’ve e

    PIPER“I hope to see you there,” Adam says. “You know once I finalize everything.”It’s like I keep running into him. Yesterday, he stopped me on my way back to the dorms and walked me there. Today, it’s on the library steps, while I was trying to double check the schedule for this weekend. He just paid me a few compliments then started talking about a party idea he’s been tossing around in his head.“Yeah. Maybe,” I nod along as genuinely as possible. He couldn’t even remember my name…Again.Waving at me with four fingers, he slowly backs away then turns and walks off. I watch him for a minute longer, before turning around, intent on going inside the library when I run smack into someone. My hands brace against the solid chest, but I’m not sure I want to pull away when I realize what I’m touching—who I’m touching. Looking up, I confirm it’s Ethan, and my cheeks flame. Heat spreads up my arms in a wave of emotions. Desire—sure but there’s always that thing when it comes to Ethan that

    ETHANI control her lips, manipulating them, and taking everything I’ve been wanting until I can’t see straight. My hold on her waist tightens too, pressing her body even closer so she can feel how hard I am for her. It’s taking everything I have not to bend her over one of these information tables so I can see what color her panties are today. I can picture something bright and colorful that I’ll have to move out of the way, before slapping my handprint on her taut ass, and thrusting my dick inside her. Fuck. I might need a cold shower before my next class. The one we have together.Somehow, I think I might want her more now, than ever before, because of the way she was just matching my insults, throwing me attitude, and not backing down. She was ready to take my head off. And I know that I deserved it. But now she’s almost in tears, and I’ll admit it, that shit does something to me. How the hell did we get here? I don’t want her to cry. Don’t want to make her cry over the stupid shi

    PIPERDamn him. He’s right. I doubt anyone can kiss like Ethan. And it pisses me off even more. More than the sight of him flirting with Paisley— my friend—one minute after having his tongue in my mouth. More than the way he simply walked out after that kiss. A kiss that meant everything to me. It was one of the best moments I’ve ever had and one of the greatest disasters I've ever experienced. How depressing is that? I calm my breaths before entering the lecture hall. I’m early. I should skip. I wanted to. But I’ve never cut a class a day in my life. Not even when I was ten years old, sick with a stomach bug. I can’t imagine doing it now, with my future on the line. Besides, it’s stupid. Unrealistic. I can’t cut every time Ethan kisses me. Not that it’ll ever happen again. I need it to never happen again, because it’s so damn confusing when he does it. I want him. He acts like he wants me. Then he’s off trying to mess with another girl seconds later. Ethan is bad for me. Very bad. A

    ETHANIn my room, I close the door behind us, and lock it. I usually leave it unlocked for my friends—or whoever. My door is always open. But I don’t want anyone walking in on this. Dropping my bag near the door, I take Piper’s and rest it someplace by my own. Hauling her against me, my hand immediately finds her ass. It’s like my palm belongs there, curved around her perfect bubbled flesh. Bringing my mouth to hers, I instantly sweep my tongue inside. Fuck she tastes so good. I can barely wait to slip my tongue in her pussy.I’m surging forward, making her stagger back towards the desk. Then tear my mouth away from hers. I want to remember every second of this.“What,” she pants in confusion.Staring into her eyes, I’m hit with something of a conscience. It’s probably the last shred of decency left holding onto my restraint. She was right before. We should just walk away. I should let her go. Not to be with Adam. Fuck no. But some other decent guy that’s not going to fuck her over, o

    ETHANI fix my clothes. “Cool. What’s your favorite kind of takeout?”The way she ponders this question is cute as hell. That one thought enough to make me realize I’m in trouble.“Chinese,” she finally says.“Okay. Favorite thing on the menu.”“That feels like a trick question. It’s hard to choose. But gun to my head, I’ll say it’s between orange chicken and boneless spareribs.”“Why did I think you were going to name something light and dainty,” I joke.She raises an eyebrow. “You think someone can get an ass like this with light and dainty?”“No,” I reply. “Definitely not.”Heat blooms on her cheeks, but she rolls her eyes playfully, pushing me back so she can hop down off the desk.“So,” I say, stepping away and grabbing the remote. Everyone’s got a mounted TV in their room—another perk to a private school. “What do you want to watch?”“You have cable,” she asks.“I have streaming,” I correct. “No one has cable anymore.”“Well excuse me,” she says teasingly.I smirk. “So, what’ll

    PIPERI kiss the hell out of him. It should go without saying, but when the guy you’ve liked for over a year tells you he feels something, anything, even if it’s only physical, you go for it. And try not to dwell on the fact that he used the words “hook up”.He wants me. That’s good enough for now. Because I want him. I want his lips on mine. The way he kisses so I feel it everywhere, with his tongue in my mouth, and his hands all over me. They tug at my clothes. Mine tug at his, until we’re both naked. He grabs a condom from the desk drawer then walks over to the beanbag chair, taking a seat, and wagging his finger for me to come closer. I do, unable to feel ashamed by being completely naked before him like this. Sure, we’ve done it before in my room, but there’s something about this that pales in comparison. Everything we’ve done so far does, because the second I get close, Ethan pulls me onto his lap.I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve never done any of this before. But the feeling

    ETHAN“You left,” I tell her like she doesn’t know.“I had to work.”“What time,” I ask, but I already know the answer. I’m just proving a point. After doing the same shit to others in the past—after doing it to her—I finally get what it feels like to have someone run out on me after sex. I didn’t like it. Last night had been fucking amazing. This morning my muscles were coiled tight, and yet I reached out, looking to tighten them some more. I was going to fuck her brains out. Yesterday wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy this urge in me to have her. If anything, it’s become more intense. More demanding. There are more positions I need to put her in. So many ways to watch her take my cock and they all flashed through my head this morning when I woke up, ready to nurture another of those urges.“Nine,” she admits.I step closer. “So… You left—what?—three hours before you had to be here?”“Four,” she corrects, with a shrug. “Just following the rules.”“What rules are those?”She seems conf

    PIPER“There’s an open table,” I nod to Sabrina, finding us a place to sit outside. There are a lot of people out and about at this hour. More than I thought would be eating on campus. Then again, they’re probably trying to put something in their stomachs to cushion all the alcohol they’ll be consuming later.“Hurry up and snag it,” Sabrina says, moving quickly behind me with her tray in her hand.We plop down at the picnic table just before another group claims it, and Sabrina smiles at them victoriously.“Bitch,” one of the girls mutters under her breath, which only makes my friend wave at her with wiggling fingers.I laugh, and she gives me her attention. “What? It would’ve taken forever for us to find other seats.”“I know,” I say, looking around. “Party night is probably not the best time to eat on campus.”“Yeah,” she confirms. “Not like I have a choice if I’m going to be ready on time.”“Wait. You’re going tonight,” I ask, probably because it’s the first time I’m hearing it.Sh

    EPILOGUEETHANSeven Years Later“I don’t even know why we came to this,” Piper says.I smirk, and reply. “You wanted to come. I was good with staying home between your legs for the next fourteen hours. It’s been a busy week for the both of us.”“When I made these plans it was because it’s been a busy seven years, especially since graduation and I wanted to do something normal. Now more than ever,” she says.“What’s so great about now?”“It’s our reunion,” she replies.“Okay. But I could’ve easily taken normal to mean my tongue in your pussy for a few hours and spending the night fucking like rabbits.”“Oh. We’re still doing that,” she says with a smirk. “This is just a detour. Plus Sabrina is in town and I haven’t seen her in so long.”“What are you up to,” I ask. She’s got a look on her face that tells me she’s harboring a secret.“What? Nothing.”“No. You’re up to something.”“Maybe. I’ve got news to share and we haven’t been face to face with our friends to share it with them too.

    PIPERWe find Paisley easily just across the courtyard. And it seems we have a little more to talk about besides the beating I sustained right here on these sidewalks.Shaina is beside her, sipping a smoothie that Paisley takes and makes her own for a minute. Seeing Ethan, she hands it back to her friend, licking her lips like lunch has arrived.She hasn’t paid me any attention, until I speak. “We need to talk.”With an attitude, she drags her eyes away from my boyfriend. Though she’s looking at me now, her words are still to Ethan. “I thought you were coming to tell me living with this isn’t working out.”Ethan folds his arms across his chest. “Why would I do that?”She smiles, still looking at me. “Maybe you’d rather live with me instead.”It’s so pathetic, it’s sad.My boyfriend smiles too, only it’s not pleasant. “Given the choice between sleeping in a bed with you, or a bed of fire, I’d rather add more coals to the flames,” he says.Paisley frowns the hopeful tone leaving her voi

    PIPERIt’s the next morning and I’m still reeling from Ashton’s finds and confession. Bryce. Paisley. Well, maybe not Paisley. If I know anything, it’s just how much she truly hates me. At least, by now I think I know. She spent our entire friendship putting me down, keeping me in a bubble that suited her needs just fine. She’s spent our entire lives being jealous of me. I just wish I’d seen it before. No. What I really wish is that I’d pieced it together sooner. Paisley was the one whispering in Ashton’s ear. And ultimately, the one behind my attack. “The catfight gone wrong”.“You ready,” Ethan asks.I look over my shoulder at him, standing in the doorway. He’s got a look on his face that I can’t decipher. He’s just too calm. Nothing like the way he was with his brother yesterday. Or with Adam before. I’m a little worried for the people I’m about to face, but then I think about the hell they put me through, and I know whatever is going on in his head is justified. I’m lucky to have

    ETHANOur first week in the new place goes by fast. Mostly because we spent the week at the beach and hanging with our friends. Then there was a lot of moving stuff to get done, and things to pick out. What’s the saying about time flying? Yeah. That. Most of the furniture has already been delivered, and we’ve unpacked a majority of our boxes. The way I see it, we’re entitled to a break. I drop onto the couch and turn on the TV. The cable and internet didn’t take long to get set up either, which is good, since we’re relying on having wifi for class anyway.“Must be nice,” Piper says from the kitchen. She’s standing at the stove stirring a pot of pasta sauce.“You don’t want my help in there,” I say.“It’d be nice if you offered,” she replies, with her nose in the cookbook.“Okay. Do you want some help?”“Why yes,” she says. “That would be lovely.”With a small chuckle, I rise from my seat and go over to her. Without her sling, it seems like she moves twice as fast. Adjusting the temper

    PIPERIt's not an ideal situation. But it’s not Ethan’s fault whatever happened. It also wasn’t Ashton’s doing, though I’d like to know his involvement. What I’d like more is to know who’s behind the whole thing. That is if Ashton can be trusted. He did try to pay me to stay away from his brother. How high did his offer go? I don’t remember. Something tells me if I was the type to ask for more, he would’ve given me what I wanted to get the job done. So, maybe he is capable of hurting me. Or paying someone to hurt me, though everything in my gut tells me he’s a pawn in all of this. But without talking to him myself, without the whole story, I don’t know what to think.So, I’m focusing on him. Ethan. Sitting with our friends, yet again trying to make plans for our class- free week. Everyone who’s going away for spring break has already began heading down to party central. And we’ve booked nothing.“I say we forgo taking a long trip and make the most out of what’s nearby. Then we spend t

    ETHANI’m not letting Ashton off the hook that easy. So, Piper’s family has money. And he was wrong. He should apologize to her. If that look in Piper’s eye has anything to do with it, he needs to come clean about whatever he said that sent her running the night of the party and apologize for that too. And I won’t take no for an answer. The kitchen is busy with women working on dessert. The same ones I've known to cook for special occasions since I was probably in diapers. They wave to me and I say hello, with as much of a smile as I can muster while looking for my shitty ass big brother. He isn’t down the hall, in the sitting room, or in any of the downstairs bathrooms. I think that maybe he might be upstairs in his old bedroom, until I come across the den at the foot of the stairs with the door cracked open.“You lied," my brother fumes. “She’s not after his money… Because I know. What else did you lie about?”“Were the two of you even dating?”“Where is the proof that she upload

    PIPER“We don’t have to do this,” Ethan says, as we get closer to his family’s house. Too late to turn back now. Though, he’s probably offered to turn the car around every seven minutes or so, sensing my uneasiness.I disagree. “I want to go.”That much is true. I do want to go, especially if Ethan’s parents are willing to make the effort. Besides, I want to succeed where I think I failed before. And without Ashton there, maybe I can sway them to my side then he’ll be easier to convince that I’m not some gold digger. I can prove once and for all that I only want Ethan. Where did he even get that idea of me anyway?We turn onto a quiet street.“Last chance,” Ethan says. “Are you sure?”Gripping his hand in mine, I nod. “It’s just dinner. And I want to get to know your parents. We didn't talk much at the party.”Bringing my hand to his lips, he nods. “Okay. If anything makes you uncomfortable—anything—you tell me.”I smile, with a nod, as we turn onto what looks like a dark rode. But be

    ETHAN“I don’t care where we go,” Sabrina says. “As long as there’s drinks, sun, and a reason to wear a bikini the entire time.”“Amen to that,” Jordan says slapping her on the ass.I laugh, lacing my fingers with Piper’s as we sit at a picnic table. “Where do you want to go?”She shrugs. “I kind of like Sabrina’s way of thinking.”“Hell yeah,” Jordan says, making me laugh again.“Fine. Everyone is going to Florida,” I say.“We live like thirty minutes from a beach. And I think the flight to Hawaii is closer,” Sabrina replies. “It depends on how wild we plan to get.”“Not too wild,” Piper says, motioning to her arm. She’s still in the sling through spring break. Luckily, she only suffered a dislocated shoulder and a bruised humerus. But she sprained her hand.“Oh sure, go easy now that it’s party time. I don’t think you were complaining when you spent the night on the end of Ethan’s dick,” Sabrina pouts.“Sabrina!”“What? We all know that’s what happened. That’s why you two keep makin

    PIPER“I’m sorry,” Bryce says. “Did I do something wrong?”“No,” I reply, after all it’s not his fault what I almost allowed to happen. Still I scoot away, putting more space between us. “It’s just—”“Too soon,” he guesses. “It’s too soon, right?”“Bryce—”“I just really like you. And I know I can make you happy,” he says.“It’s not going to work,” I reply.“Give yourself some time.”But I’m already shaking my head. “I don’t want to. I’m sorry. I’m not trying to lead you on. But I just realized how stupid I’m being.”“No you’re not. You’re being smart. Actually think this through. It’s only a matter of time before he hurts you. Cheats on you, or worse.”“Ethan would never,” I reply.“You really believe that don’t you?”“I believe him,” I say. “And it took this moment for me to realize I don’t want space. I was just scared and upset.”“You were beaten up, Piper.”“Not his fault.”“And the sex tape? The one in his room?”“That wasn’t on him.”“I can’t believe your judgement is still so
