Forbidden Dance Chapter 11: Mark
He's at the bar downtown. Tom's.I sink back into the plush leather seat of Danny's car as we zoom down the familiar streets after receiving Sasha's text, the dim city lights painting streaks of gold across the darkened windows. It's time for a little payback and the anticipation dances within me like an electric current. Tom's Bar is where it'll all go down, where we'll finally confront the tangled mess of emotions that threaten to consume us whole. We're going to take Xander out, a bit of payback for trashing our auditorium. We have one month left until the dance competition, and he's successfully taken away our dance area. Now, we have to find a new one, and we don't fucking have time for that.Momentarily pushing thoughts of Xander aside, jealousy claws at my insides like a feral beast, gnawing on the remnants of my wounded pride. Danny, my so-called friend, has managed to slip into Faith's bed, leaving Theo and me grappling with a torrent of conflicting emotions. I grit my teeth,
Forbidden Dance Chapter 12: Faith
I take a deep breath as I enter the vandalized auditorium, ready to lend a hand in cleaning up the mess left behind. The sight that greets me is both distracting and enticing. The guys are all here, wearing sweatpants and no shirts, their bodies glistening with sweat as they work diligently to repair the damage. I try to focus on the task at hand, but my mind betrays me, conjuring memories of my intimate moments with Danny and the kiss with Mark."This is worse than I thought it would be," I say, and all three guys look up as if surprised to see me there. Without saying a word, I grab a broom and start sweeping up the broken glass, trying to push aside the thoughts of our sexy times together. It's not easy, though, as the memories flood my mind, each one more vivid than the last. Their touch, their lips, the way Mark and Danny made me feel... I can't help but smile to myself, my cheeks flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement."Faith, are you okay?" Danny's voice breaks
Forbidden Dance Chapter 13: Theo
I bolt angrily from the auditorium and stride across the campus, my steps fueled by a blend of frustration and determination. I need to clear my head to escape the suffocating weight of these emotions. As I walk, each footfall resonates like a drumbeat, echoing the pounding in my chest. The air is thick with tension, and I find myself running, my legs carrying me faster as if I can outrun my feelings. All I can think about is Faith; how good she must taste, how fucking amazing she probably feels. I want to take her, to ravage her, and show her how I can please her. But what's going on with her and Mark? And it's not just Mark, it's Danny, too. Does she know that they both want her? Does she know that she's become the rare new centerpiece of our little club?Faith is free to make her own choices, I remind myself, clenching my jaw to keep my emotions in check. I don't have any claim on her, not really. We're just friends, acquaintances at best. But the sight of her with someone else—a g
Forbidden Dance Chapter 14: Faith
I'm rattled long after Theo has stormed out, but Danny and Mark seem unperturbed by his abrupt departure. Mark, specifically, looks smug, and I wonder if fucking him in the bathroom had been a bad idea."Faith, are you okay?" Danny asks, pulling my attention back to them. The auditorium looks nice finally, but my heart aches for Theo. Had he seen us? Heard us? With his departure, either one seemed possible."I'm fine." I take a seat on the stage next to Mark, careful not to bump my injured ankle. He scoots closer to me, and a smoldering fire ignites within me. I try to focus on anything else, but Mark's proximity makes it impossible to concentrate. The heat emanating from him warms my body from head to toe, and I can feel the energy between us growing stronger by the second.I steal a glance at Danny, taking in the sharp lines of his jaw and the intensity in his eyes. He's always been just as attractive, but tonight something is different. Maybe it's the dim lighting, or maybe it's th

Xander and his crew are already waiting for us in the location he texted me, their smug faces making my blood boil. They seem to be anticipating our arrival, eager to see us falter and fail in our attempt to save Theo. Fuck them."Look who finally showed up," Xander sneers, his arms crossed over his chest. His crew follows suit, leering at us as if we're nothing but a joke. My fists clench painfully at my side and my jaw aches from the tension."Let Theo go, Xander. This isn't about him; it's about the competition," I say, trying to maintain some semblance of control over my emotions. I don't see Theo, and that concerns me. What have they done to him?"Ah, yes, the competition," Xander muses. "You know, it's funny how you think you stand a chance against us." A sinister grin spreads across his face. "But sure, go ahead and try to save your precious friend.""Don't fuck with us, dude." Mark steps up beside me. I can feel the anger radiating from his pores. The atmosphere is electric as
Forbidden Dance Mark
I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Faith's departure in the middle of the semester doesn't make any sense, and I can't help but think that she needs someone to find her. She's like a fragile porcelain doll—beautiful on the outside but so easily cracked. And despite her tough exterior, I know that she's desperate for someone to be her knight.The crunching sound of leaves beneath my feet echoes in the empty campus, and it's all I can do not to sprint toward her dorm. There's an urgency bubbling beneath the surface, but I force myself to maintain a steady pace. I have to be strong for Faith—that's what she needs right now. But my thoughts betray me. What if I'm too late? What if she's already gone? I can't help but remember my mom, and how I failed to protect her. The fear of losing someone else I care about grips my chest like a vise, making it difficult to breathe."Keep moving," I mutter under my breath. "You're almost there."As I approach Faith's dormitory, the r
Forbidden Dance Faith
The walls are closing in on me.I pace the length of my childhood bedroom, running my fingers along the faded pink wallpaper. My heartbeat throbs in my ears, nearly drowning out the muffled shouts from downstairs. I press my forehead against the cool glass of the window, peering out at the quiet street below. A gentle breeze ruffles the leaves of the big oak tree in our front yard, its branches stretching toward the open sky. How I wish I could escape out that window, climb down the tree, and run until my legs give out. But the window is locked shut. Just like me.I sink down onto the edge of the bed, the old springs creaking beneath me. I clutch my old, worn teddy bear on my lap, taking comfort in its familiar softness. Its black button eyes stare back at me, void of judgment or condemnation. If only my parents could be so kind. I try to remind myself that this is ridiculous; I'm more than an adult, and Sadie can't just keep me locked in my bedroom for the rest of my life. Yet, here
Forbidden Dance Chapter 1: Faith
The weather outside is frigid, matching my mood, as my stepmother Sadie runs a single manicured finger over the windowsill of my dorm room, lifting it to her face a moment later to inspect the dust that has settled on the tip of her perfect finger. She makes a face, shooting a glance over her shoulder at my father who has been standing awkwardly to the side as she tears apart every little thing about my room.“It’s dirty,” she announces to no one in particular. My new roommate isn’t here yet, thank God, and I’m hoping she won’t show up until after my dad and step-monster finally leave me in peace.“I don’t mind,” I say, trying to usher her along faster. “It just needs a little wipe down. I can do that.”Sadie turns in my direction, her nostrils flaring like they do when she thinks I’ve said or done something stupid, which is almost always. “Your father and I aren’t paying for you to be here and clean,” she huffs. “That’s the school staff’s job.”I bite my lip to keep myself from remin
