MasukAfter one soul-crushing breakup, Summer Peterson—quirky, invisible, heartbroken—swore she’d never fall again. But secrets don’t care about promises. Especially not the kind hiding in her best friend’s older brother. Hayden is everything she shouldn’t want. Dangerous. Magnetic. Off-limits. But one forbidden kiss was all it took to unravel her. Now every stolen moment pulls her deeper—into a twisted affair of obsession, lies, and betrayal. Hayden doesn’t just touch. He marks. He owns. And he’s hiding a secret that could destroy them both. Someone is watching. Someone who wants her. And someone who will do anything to tear them apart. Loving him might ruin her. Leaving him might kill her. How do you run from the boy who’d burn the world to keep you? And how far will she go for a love that was never meant to save her? ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING – MATURE CONTENT AHEAD This story doesn’t hold back.

Still, he wouldn't go all the way because I'm a virgin. Am I still a virgin if we've made out in all corners of my room? The only thing we haven't done is sex. “Fuck...” a low groan escapes my mouth when his lips traces it's way to my belly. My fingers instinctively grabs the pink sheets, and my other hand buries itself into his short brown curls. “Hayden, please, just do it already,” I managed to speak, my legs trembling from the pleasure. “You know we can't,” his voice comes out as a growl. I curse under my breath. He knows exactly how to make my body dance to his tunes and just exactly how to say no to me. As he climbs on top of me, a jolt of electricity runs through my entire body. When his lips meet mine in a passionate kiss, the world around me fades into nothing. “You're fucking delicious, though” he remarks, pulling away from me. He lies next to me, gazing into the ceiling. The only sound in the room is our laboured breaths. All I think of at the moment is how I got to this point. It all started a little over a month ago after Dean and I broke up. Dean was my boyfriend of seven months, until he was not. On our anniversary, I caught him sleeping with Maxine, that skank. I was unaware they'd been doing it all the while. Maybe it was because I didn't want to do it yet, and by "it" I think you know what. Coitus. Sex. Yes. That's literally what "it"means. Asshat. Hayden had just returned home from his studies abroad. A week later at one of Jake's parties, things kicked off between us. Hayden found Life in Saundersville, California boring, that's why he moved to study in Europe. He is the tall, athletic build guy every girl in the neighbourhood is begging to taste, and begging to have. You know, the usual bad boy with devilish, devastating handsomeness that draws women to him like a magnet. I, on the other hand, am the girl nobody ever notices except I do something stupid. You see, being Hayden's booty call is like a double edged-sword. On one hand, I had access to his inner world, and when we're outside, he acts like I don't exist. It doesn't get any better than that, does it? “Noone has got to find out about us,” he warned me several times. Basically, nobody knows we're making out. Not even my best friend, Jake, Hayden's younger brother, who seriously hates Hayden's guts. If Jake were to find out, gosh he'll freak out! He might even hate me too. I feel like I'm living a double life—one, where I'm the best friend to sweet Jake and the other, Hayden's bitch. So, back to Jake’s party. I had gone into Hayden's room to use the restroom because some horny ass teenagers were having a crazy makeout session in Jake's room. So Jake asked me to use Hayden's. After I used the restroom, when I got out, I met Hayden laying on his bed, half ass drunk. Our eyes locked for an instant, and my world seemed to freeze. For the first time, we had a normal conversation without him smashing a pillow into my face or knocking my head. The way he stared at me, though. There was something about it I couldn't quite understand. It made my eyes flutter. Butterflies filled my stomach and I almost gagged because of how nervous I felt. We played truth or dare, then he dared me to kiss him. Holy shit! To prove to him that I wasn't a kid anymore, but a super fine eighteen year old—a soon-to-be freshman at that, I fucking kissed him. It's been over a month and we've been doing it ever since then...in secret. My biggest, darkest secret—Hayden… my best friend's brother.♤♤JAKE'S POV♤♤My voice came out a low growl, as I anticipated seeing her free from the anguish of having to wear clothes all day long.I’d never get tired of seeing her naked. She hesitated. I sensed insubordination. And then her shaky hands hooked into the band of her joggers. She slid them down carefully and painfully slow.I watched the line of her spine curve, the fine tremor running through her. My pulse raced beneath my skin. I bit down the desire coiling in the pit of my stomach, settling in my groin. A low rumble emanated from my chest the moment her hoodie came off, revealing her bare, tender breasts.I reached for one of them without thinking, cupping the beauty in the palm of my hands. Summer didn't move. She stood still as a statue. A bulge surged in my pants, aching with intense need.She looked so small and so fragile that the thought of filling her with my creamy essence almost brought me down to my knees. I had to stop. I had to let her get dressed. I had all the time
♤♤JAKE'S POV♤♤Her cries would not leave me. They clung to the walls. They pulsed through the air. They scraped through the inside of my skull long after her voice had gone hoarse. The day Summer learned about Hayden’s death, she broke apart.She rejected the food I brought her. Pushed away water. Curled into herself and cried until her throat collapsed. Until she was emptied out. And while she drowned in grief… I felt light. Euphoric, even.Hayden’s death was the universe finally correcting a mistake. His death was a blessing—one life removed so mine with Summer could finally start. Things were finally starting to look up.The past few weeks with Summer had shown me a beautiful truth I’d always known: love wins when you strip it down to the bone. It always prevailed no matter what. Summer had stopped fighting. She was quiet now. And very soft. She ate what I gave her. She didn’t flinch when I touched her wrist to check the swelling. Sometimes she did—perhaps from fear, but soon, it’
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Yes. I remember now. It's been four weeks since we got here. Jake still hadn't told me where we were. I’d been locked in this basement for so long, I didn't know what it felt like to see the outside world, or feel the warmth of the sun on my skin.He’d been texting my dad on my phone, impersonating me. And whenever my dad asked to speak on a phone call, Jake would hold a knife to my throat just in case I said anything that indicated that I was in danger.He promised his family would hurt mine if I didn't cooperate. And I believed him. I knew what they were capable of. So, my dad basically believed I left France and went back to New York, got caught up in school, and refused to come home for Christmas. I spent Christmas with Jake exploring my body like a perfectly wrapped present from Santa. He’d drugged me. Whenever I woke up, I was tied to the bed. Naked. His fingers hovered over my breasts, lightly tracing every inch of my skin as if he’d burn if he really touched
☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆🌹🌹🌹FOUR WEEKS LATER🌹🌹🌹“It is with great sorrow that we gather here today for the burial of a young, promising man, a friend, a son, who was just a boy...”The priest’s voice droned on, hollow and echoing from the massive screen bolted to the wall.“He put up a good fight until his last breath. The death of Hayden Dylan has left a gaping hole in our hearts, one that can not be filled. But we know he’s in a better place. He was a flower planted in God’s great garden. And now he has returned home, to a better place.”I couldn't peel my gaze from the screen. Tears never came. Not when I needed them. Hayden is not dead, I told myself. No. I refused to believe he’s gone. My wrist burned from the cuffs. I’d been held hostage for so long, I’d lost track of time.After I was stabbed with a needle, everything went dark. Complete Darkness. Sharp, stale, suffocating. It pressed against my face, my lungs, my thoughts.I didn't know how long I’d slept. It felt more like I ha
