~Hayden's POV~

“So, tell me, how did this start?” Mrs. Rawlins asks, putting down her drink.

“Mom!” Dakota groans with frustration.

I put a hand over hers, pulling her closer. “It's okay, babe.”

“No, it's not. She doesn't have any right to do this. Plus, it's too early to drink!” Dakota scolds her parents, waving a hand around the bar.

The bar isn't so crowded with students yet but as evening approaches, it will be. It's already filling up.

Mr. Rawlins is already on his third dr

    ~Dakota's POV~Mom's going to kill me, I think to myself. She'd be so disappointed in me. I can just hear her now saying: “I raised you to have some self-respect! Why would you jump back in bed with him!?” But she's not here to see how maddening, erotic and goddamn alluring it is when Hayden licks my juices off his fingers. It stirs something deep and twisted inside me. I try and fail not to give in but Jesus Christ, I can't help it. I want him. I want him so much. My hands move over his groin, feeling his thickening bulge through the layers of fabric. Slowly, I lower myself till my knees hit the floor and I'm stuck between his thick, muscular thighs, gaping at his protruding dick. My mouth waters. I touch him through the fabric, feeling him pulse in my palm. I glance up, catching a glimpse of the expression on his face: tight, desirous, needy, hungry. He licks his lips sensually, his eyes burning with unbridled lust. I feel his muscles go rigid and tense with anticipation. It

  • Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother    CHAPTER 112: I know your body

    ~Hayden's POV~ I pull the duvet over Heather's peacefully sleeping body before bending low to kiss her on the forehead. I walk out of the room slowly and close the door behind me. Dakota's standing right out, looking worried. “Is she asleep!?” “Yeah, I was able to put her down!” I reply. She clutches her chest. “Good, I'm relieved. But seriously, we really need to do something about her. She can't afford this right now. Not with the competitions coming up. She needs to be razor-focused on….” she pauses, staring at me. “Are you even listening to me!?” she asks. I blink, pulling my attention away from her lips. “Yeah, yeah, I was just thinking about how sweet it is that you care so much for her!” Dakota frowns. “Of course, I care for her. She's my best friend!” “Yeah, and I've seen other best friends, no one is as dedicated and sweet as you are!” I reply. For a second, she doesn't speak. We stand there, letting the tension build, as we stare deeply into each ot

  • Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother    CHAPTER 111: Sister in trouble.

    ~Dakota’s POV~ Heather is atop the bar table, dancing precariously close to the edge. I follow her around, trying to keep her steady. “Heather, please, this is crazy! Please climb down, you're gonna hurt yourself!” I plead. “Come on, she's having fun, let her!” one of the creepy old men watching her says. “Stay out of this, asshole!” I snap at him. He falls back, staring at me with a predatory look on his face. I hate being in this sketchy bar filled with old creeps, but when my best friend is having an existential crisis and lashing out, I can't exactly leave her alone in this creepy bar. It's been days since Heather found out the truth about her father and she's taking it harder than Hayden. She's staying out late, drinking even though she NEVER drinks and refuses to talk to me. She twirls along to Roscoe Dash’s “NO HANDS” playing through the stereo in the bar as the men whistle and catcall her. Oh my God, when is Hayden getting here? I can't do this alone.

  • Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother    CHAPTER 110: Hurt people hurt people.

    ~Hayden's POV~ The Head of the Athletic Office, Sandra, leans forward with a serious expression on her face. Besides her, Keisha from the Disciplinary Board, has her arms folded across her chest. “I'm sorry, Hayden, I understand this is a difficult decision to accept…” Sandra starts to say. “A difficult decision? You're telling me that you're not going to investigate or punish Nia for almost ruining my career just because she's a Tiverton?” I almost blow up. Keisha steps forward a little. “Woah, hold on, we are not suspending investigation into the incident because we found out she's a Tiverton. We are ending the investigation because we don't have sufficient evidence to prove…” “Like hell, you don't!” I yell. The women raise their brows simultaneously. “Hayden, I suggest…you watch yourself!” Sandra scolds me. I sigh, taking in a deep breath. My life is falling apart and I can't seem to figure out a way to fix it: my sister won't talk to me; I'm not talking to my dad

  • Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother    CHAPTER 109: Failing my best friend.

    ~Dakota’s POV~I can feel Hayden's nervousness through his shaking hand. I hold him tighter, letting him know that I'm here for him no matter what. “Son, listen….” Coach Thornhill starts in an uncertain voice. Hayden puts up a hand to stop him. “No, Dad, you need to listen to me.”Coach shrugs, and settles down on his chair. He looks so grief-stricken, his eyes are sunken and red as if he had not gotten a good night's rest. Hayden stands there, gathering his thoughts. “I've spent the past few days thinking. I can't get my head around this. I can't move past this. I just have one question: why did you lie to us?”“Son, no father wishes to expose his weaknesses to his children. I know you would've hated me. Rightfully so.”“Do you even feel guilty!?” Hayden ask, his anger growing. Coach’s face is crestfallen. “You have no idea how much this eats at me. No idea. Every single day, I blame myself for your mother's death. Every single day. It's the reason I could never remarry again. I

  • Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother    CHAPTER 108: Moral support

    ~Hayden’s POV The sincerity in her voice bolsters me. For the past few days, I've felt like a ship adrift on stormy seas. I can't see the way through or pull myself out of the deep wells of depression. But when she holds my hand, suddenly, everything feels okay. I squeeze her hand tighter. “I'm not even sure what to say.” “This is a safe space. You can tell me anything and I won't judge you. I promise, I swear,” Dakota retorts. I swallow hard, meeting her eyes. Those perfect eyes, those plump lips, the stunning beauty of her face all comfort me. “I keep thinking….what if your mom's right?” I find myself opening up. Dakota frowns. “What!?” “What if I inherited my dad's genes? What if I'm an asshole and cheat by design?” I ask. “Hayden….” Dakota whispers with concern. “No, think about it, I've never actually committed to a real relationship in my life. I'm terrified of falling in love. I fuck everything up. What if it's just the Thornhill gene?” Dakota rubs
