Riley

I pushed open the front door with my shoulder, arms full of stupid grocery bags Mom had made me carry like some pack mule. The house felt off right away. Too quiet. No clinking dishes, no TV humming in the background, no Ava shuffling around trying to clean everything like she had to earn oxygen. I dropped the bags on the kitchen counter harder than I needed to. "Ava? You alive up there or what?"

Nothing. I yelled again, louder this time. "Ava! Come on, I got those weird healthy crackers

    Ivy I sat there on the edge of the bed after Jax left the room for a minute to grab something, my phone still glowing with that banking app open like it was mocking me. My thumbs hovered over Mom’s contact but I just couldn’t hit call right then. Everything felt too loud in my head, the way he’d touched my chin, the money, Lena’s stupid warnings, all of it mixing up until I couldn’t tell if I was excited or about to puke. When he came back in I looked up fast and blurted it out before I could chicken out.“Jax, I don’t wanna go home tonight,” I said, my voice coming out all shaky but I pushed through it. “Not after everything. Kai’s probably already drunk and yelling and I just… I can’t deal with that right now. Not with this money stuff and my head all messed up.”He stopped in the doorway, that same half-smirk pulling at his mouth but his eyes went softer for a second like he got it. “That’s completely fine, Ivy. You don’t have to go anywhere you don’t want to. We’ve got rooms here

    Ivy My heart was slamming so hard I could feel it in my ears, and my face was burning because yeah, I’d just put it out there and now I wanted to crawl into a hole. But he didn’t laugh or brush me off. He just looked at me straight, phone still in his hand but forgotten, and for a second the whole place felt smaller.“I could’ve been your dad, Ivy,” he said again, quieter this time, but then he stepped in closer, close enough that I caught the faint smell of him, clean but with that edge that made my stomach flip. His hand came up slow, fingers brushing a strand of hair off my face, tucking it behind my ear like it was nothing, but the way his thumb grazed my cheek for half a second longer than it needed to? That wasn’t nothing. It sent this jolt straight through me, hot and annoying because I wasn’t supposed to want that from him. Not yet. Not after signing that damn contract where I said he doesn’t touch unless I say.He gripped my chin then, just firm enough to tilt my face up so

    Ivy I signed the damn thing. My hand shook the whole time I dragged the mouse across that line, but I did it anyway because what the hell else was I supposed to do? Go back home to Kai’s moods and Mom’s empty fridge and my sister looking at me like I’d already screwed everything up worse? Jax didn’t say anything smug, just slid the laptop back and nodded like we’d agreed on pizza toppings instead of me selling bits of my life on camera.“Smart choice,” he said, standing up. “We’ll start you easy tomorrow. Solo. But first, let me show you around so you don’t think this whole place is just a trap.”I followed him down the hall, still feeling sticky between my legs from earlier, my hoodie pulled low like that could hide anything. My heart kept banging around in my chest, half pissed, half buzzing with that weird what-did-I-just-do feeling. We turned a corner and there she was, leaning against a doorway like she owned it, this tall girl with sharp eyeliner and hair pulled back in a messy

    Ivy It lasted longer than I wanted. When it finally eased, I just stood there panting, fingers still inside, sticky and warm. The shame crashed in right after. What the hell was I doing? Getting off in some porn studio after getting basically kidnapped? Thinking about Daniel while Jax talked dirty through the door?I pulled my hand out slow, wiped it on my pants, and yanked the hoodie down. My face felt hot. Eyes stung a little. I unlocked the door it wasn’t even locked right, just pulled shut and shoved it open.Jax was leaning against the wall right outside, arms crossed, that half-smile on his face. His eyes went dark when he saw me. Flushed cheeks, messy hair, probably looking exactly like I just came my brains out.“Don’t say a word,” I warned, pointing at him. My voice came out shaky and pissed. “Not one. You’re lucky I don’t punch you right now.”He held his hands up, but the smile stayed. “Wouldn’t dream of it. Sounded like you handled things just fine.”“Shut up!” I steppe

    Ivy I stared at that door like it owed me something precious. My heart was slamming so hard I thought it might crack a rib. The live scene kept playing in my head those girls moaning, the guy’s hands all over them, the wet sounds that made my skin feel too tight. I couldn’t stand there another second with Jax breathing down my neck, looking at me like he already knew I was soaked.“Fine,” I snapped, shoving past him. “I’m handling this myself. Don’t you dare follow me.”I pushed into the little room off the side. It was small, just a couch and dim lights, but I didn’t care. My hands shook as I slammed the door. I turned the lock. Or I thought I did. Clicked it hard. I leaned back against the wall, breathing fast, and yanked Daniel’s hoodie up. My nipples were hard already, rubbing against the fabric like they had a mind of their own.“Stupid,” I muttered. “This is so stupid.”But my body wasn’t listening. I shoved my hand down my pants, under my panties, and found myself dripping.

    Ivy I stared at Jax like he had lost his mind completely, which he probably had. My legs still felt shaky from all the pacing and yelling, and my eyes burned from those stupid tears that kept trying to come back. “You really think showing me some videos is gonna change my mind? This is crazy. I’m not sitting here like some kid watching cartoons while you try to sell me on porn.”He just gave me that half-smile again, the one that made his eyes crinkle a little at the sides, and pulled a big tablet out from a drawer in the fancy table next to the bed. “Not cartoons, Ivy. Real stuff. Girls who walked in with the same fire you got. Sit down for two minutes. That’s all I’m asking.”I crossed my arms tight over Daniel’s hoodie, the one that still smelled like him, like safety for five stupid minutes last night. Part of me wanted to snatch the tablet and smash it, but another part, the tired part that was sick of scraping rent together, made my butt hit the edge of the bed. “Fine. Two minu

    ~Ava~I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck that then backed up and ran me over again for fun. My thighs ached in this weird, satisfying way that made me want to punch myself in the face. Sheets were twisted around my legs like they were trying to strangle me, and my mouth tasted like left

    ~Ava~I couldn’t sleep. Obviously.Riley was out cold next to me, one arm flung over her face like she was personally offended by the ceiling fan, soft little snores mixing with the hum of the AC. My phone said 2:04 a.m. and my mouth tasted like leftover chocolate fudge brownie. I was still sticky

    ~Ava~I stayed in my room as long as I could get away with it, face smashed into the pillow, scrolling TikTok on silent just to have something to stare at that wasn’t Chloe’s perfect Instagram life. Riley kept texting me from downstairs: get your ass down they’re doing shots already your mom i
