What the fuck did this bitch say just now?Giving her virginity to Andrew?I didn’t know why but I felt so furious I wanted to rip her head apart. My wolf growled in my head and I saw red. And thank the Moon Goddess because Eva was there with me and she pressed her hand on my shoulder, snapping me back into reality.“You okay?” she asked.I blinked and slowly dragged my gaze to her. “What?”“You look—“ she glanced toward the girls in front of us, “—angry.”The sound of a whistle made all of us turn to the field. Then I looked at Andrew, who was now observing the candidates along with the coach.I no longer heard the angry growl inside my head. My wolf calmed down again, as did my heart. I didn’t know who was influencing whom, but it was clear that this wasn’t good for both of us.If only Eva hadn’t been with me earlier, I would have surely ended up in jail for killing a girl.“I’m not,” I said, shrugging, trying to act indifferent. “Just a little annoyed. But, hey, he’s not my boyfrie
-Corrine-My heart leaped, and my eyes bulged in horror. But Andrew remained calm. He even tried to kiss me again despite the roar outside, and he almost successfully killed my fear with his lips.“Stop it,” I hissed and yanked his face off mine. “We’ve got to get out of here.”Andrew pouted. “Just let them be.”“Open the fucking door!” the man outside yelled and I felt a shiver run down my spine as he tried to break down the door.“I don’t want to get in trouble,” I panicked in a whisper.He looked up at me. His eyes twitched like he was trying to understand me. “But I love trouble,” he mumbled. “And I thought you loved it, too. You looked like an adrenaline junkie.”“Correct. I am an adrenaline junkie.” I nodded. “But not like this.”“Ooh, you are?”This conversation was torturing me and I heard the man outside asking someone to open the other door and told some people to break down the door I was leaning against.But there was no sign that Andrew would let me go.“Yes, I am,” I his
-Corrine-“What? Who said that?” I didn’t mean to snap at Emily, but emotions got the better of me and I unconsciously let my anger slip out.Emily frowned slightly. “All of our high school friends know about it,” she said, sounding more careful this time. “I don’t know who said it first, but now all our friends know that you’re trying to get Andrew’s attention when he doesn’t care about you.”I leaned back and took a deep breath while lifting my chin. I wanted to say that not only did Andrew care about me; he was my mate. He wanted me. And I witnessed with my own eyes how Andrew rejected Kasey when she tried to seduce him at the club.I almost exploded in Emily’s face, but then I realized there was a better way to show them all what my relationship with Andrew was really like.“I think I’ve changed my mind,” I said later, giving her the sweetest smile possible. “I’ll come to your birthday party.”Emily’s worried face immediately brightened. She clapped her hands and squeaked, “Really
-Corrine-A few seconds passed, but nothing happened. I still heard the roar of the car engine and my body remained in the passenger seat with a sensation of speed that made my skin feel like it was being pulled back with strings.I peeked and found the car still speeding down the road… and we hadn’t hit anything.“Open your eyes.”Andrew rubbed my thigh, and my eyes snapped open.“We’re alive,” I sighed. My breath was scant. We had just passed through death. “We’re alive,” I repeated.He chuckled at my reaction. His hand returned to the gearshift, and he quickly downshifted and made a sharp left turn. I screamed again, but this time my eyes opened wide and I saw how skillfully Andrew drove the car.It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t scared at all. But eventually, I adjusted and felt a little calmer. Just a little.“Where’s your scream?!” teased Andrew amidst the engine’s roar as the car sped down the straight.I leered at him and gave him an annoyed grin instead. He snorted a lau
-Corrine-The embers of passion ignited inside me, grabbing all my senses as quickly as Andrew lifted my body and carried me onto the hood of the car.It’s all a blurry scene of fog and sighs, and the warmth of his breath and lips on my skin.I closed my eyes and jerked my head back, giving my neck and chest completely to him as he tore off my clothes and kissed my body as if the kiss would keep him breathing.The cool night breeze brushed against my nearly naked upper body, but the kisses and light nibbles he placed on my breasts made the heat wash away the cold.“Andrew...” I chanted his name, worshiping him like I worshiped The Moon Goddess.My elbows supported my almost supine body, while Andrew’s arms stretched out, trapping me. His face was now buried in my lower abdomen.This blinding pleasure made my head spin and my lips cried out short moans that grew more and more intense as his lips continued to descend and his hands deftly unbuttoned and zipped my pants.Just as I was pre
-Corrine-I smiled at his words and accepted the gift. “Thank you.” My voice was gravelly with emotion. I looked at him and thanked him again.“I don’t want to go back,” I said later as we both looked towards the dormitory.“Neither do I,” he agreed. “I would have taken you back to my house if your brother hadn’t been around.”“Yeah,” I muttered. I nodded slowly as I stared at the jewelry box on my lap.We kissed once more before I finally pulled away and got out of the car.When I sneaked into my room, Eva was already asleep on her bed. I changed my clothes and went to the bathroom to clean myself up.As I lay on the bed, I clutched the jewelry box Andrew had given me as I smiled at it.That night, I felt like the happiest girl in the world.*“Get off.”“Corrine, listen to me.”Daniel grabbed my arm, stopping me from getting away from him.I was surprised to see him this afternoon in the hallway in front of my class. I didn’t want to know how he found me or how he knew what my class
-Corrine-“Is he picking up?”“No.” Eva lowered the phone from her ear and stared at the screen. “This is weird. Usually, he always answers my calls.”I tried calling him a few hours ago, then I thought maybe Andrew didn’t answer my call because he didn’t recognize my phone number. That’s why I asked Eva to call him. And the result was the same.“Did something happen to him?” I asked, worried.Did he get into a fight or have an accident during the race?“I’ll try to call him back later,” Eva said. “You can try texting him. He’ll definitely reply, and probably call you, after reading your message.”I did what Eva told me to do.But a day passed and there was no reply from him.Was it like Melanie said? That he dumped me after getting what he wanted?The suspicion couldn’t escape my mind, far outweighing my anxiety about his safety. It didn’t rule out the possibility that he was going through something, but I almost eliminated that possibility in favor of the former.And I hated myself
-Corrine-My lips were still parted when Andrew pulled away. He looked at me and ran a finger down the side of my face, then slid down to the corner of my lips. After that, he pressed his thumb to my lower lip and I couldn’t avoid the sigh that voiced how I felt right now.“You’re late,” I whispered. My eyes couldn’t escape looking at him. Everyone around us seemed to sink into darkness and it was just the two of us here. I almost jumped up to lunge at him and rip off his T-shirt had he not lowered his hand from my lips.“I’m sorry,” he replied. A small smile played on his lips. “I have important things to take care of.”Then Andrew turned my body around, and I was now standing with my back to him. I gasped as he hugged me from behind and rested his chin on my shoulder. His eyes stared straight ahead, as did mine, and that’s when the world around us came back into my vision.People were staring at us with all sorts of feelings drawn on their faces.Envy. Awe. Curious. Shame.Whatever
