Rhys Van Acker
Peach’s face is pale, and I can’t tell what she’s thinking until she shoves me backward and rushes into one of the restroom stalls. She crouches to her knees and starts to throw up. The image, instead of turning me off, turns me on. I imagine her gagging on my dick and on her knees like she is now. I snap out of it and move closer to hold her hair up and stroke her back. After a few seconds, she rises to her feet and steps out. Then she washes her face in the sink. I watch her the whole time. Maybe she’s sick? Or she ate something that’s gone bad? “Are you okay?” I finally ask her. She takes a deep breath, her head turns like she’s just heard a funny noise. I can’t seem to fathom what she’s thinking. She’s suddenly so fucking hard to read. “Yeah, I’m fine.” she grabs a towel from the hanger behind her and dries her face with it. Well, the mood is ruined and all that’s left is the realization that I just blurted out how I’ve been feeling about her for the past few days. After hooking up with Steph, I tried hooking up with other women too. But it’s hard for me to get pushed off the edge without imagining Peach’s face. It’s like she’s cast a spell on me or something. A spell that allows my body to want only her even though my mind says otherwise. It’s like a constant battle between the latter and the former. The former wins every damn time. “So, what do you say?” I finally say, leaning against the vanity. Peach feigns innocence, like her ears were on break when I confessed earlier. “I don’t understand what you mean.” “Oh, really?” my voice is low, the words ragged. Peach’s mouth trembles, then firms. “I…” I take a step closer to her, trapping her against the wall and silently praying this didn’t go wrong again. “Yes?”I dip my head. “You what?” She draws in a shaky breath. She’s mentally warring herself. She’s refusing to succumb to the feeling. It’s only a matter of time before her resolve crashes. She closes her eyes. “Rhys...” It’s almost like a moan escaping her lips and all the blood in my body goes to my dick. The things she does to me. How’s she able to? “You what?” I repeat, the words mere tatters in the tiny space between us. The uneven rhythm of her breaths matches mine. She doesn’t respond, but she also doesn’t try to move, which I interpret as tacit agreement. My mouth hovers over hers, giving her one last chance to pull away. When she doesn’t, I close the remaining distance and brush her lips with the lightest of kisses. It’s so soft, it counts more as a graze than a kiss, but it detonates every emotion I’ve tried so hard to bury. Any control I might’ve had left snaps at her nearly inaudible sigh of pleasure. I deepen the kiss, my mouth molding to hers with an ease. Desire ramps up with every passing second. My mind is only focused on Peach—her flushed cheeks, her parted lips, the way she shivers when I set her on the counter and ruck her skirt up around her waist. Neither of us speak lest we shatter the delicate spell. I kiss her again. Harder this time, desperate to drink in as much of her as possible. I curl one hand around the back of her neck while the other traces the lacy edge of her underwear. When I stop at the sensitive juncture between her thigh and heat, she lets out a noise of protest. “Shh.” I kiss my way down her neck. She lets out a full-blown cry when I finally slide her underwear aside and rub my thumb over her clit. I bite back a groan. She’s already so damn wet for me. Heat races down my spine as I work her with leisurely strokes, circling and teasing until she’s dripping all over my hand. She bucks against me, her face etches with frustration and lust. “Rhys.” A breathless plea falls from her lips. “Please.” I harden to the point of pain. God, nothing in the world has ever sounded as sweet as the sound of my name on her lips. A knocking sound on the door cuts through the layer of renewed need. I feel torn as sanity tries to wriggle way its way back into my mind. I pull my mouth from hers a fraction, then mumble, “Ignore that,” and then resume the kiss. The knock goes again and then the jangle of keys follow. Oh, fuck. Only the faintest shred of common sense has me lifting her off the counter and yanking open a restroom stall. She’s panting and so am I. I shut the door and it’s only in that moment that I’m grateful to Acker Investments for making the stalls sound proof. I spin Peach toward the closed door and place my palms against it. She gasps and then my palm is on her thigh, moving upward, and his fingers slide the elastic of her thong and pull it down. “Condom,” she demands. Naturally, I carry one with me wherever I go. “How do you..?” The words are cut off as I push inside her. She braces against the door, and I can’t describe how complete it makes me feel when I’m buried inside of her tight pussy. I thrust into her again, harder, my hands sliding up beneath her shirt, palming her breasts. “You,” I say, the words timed with my thrusts, “are so fucking tight.” “Cover my mouth,” she begs, and I do as I sink my teeth into her shoulder to muffle my groan and we both fall apart. This is a start. She’s never going to be able to resist me now.Rhys Van Acker Attending a family meeting isn’t basically something I had planned on doing. But when my mother, Catalina Van Acker summons, there’s no turning her down. If you do, she’ll have an episode and check herself into a hospital for chest pain or some other catastrophe that will drag on for at least a week. I really don’t have time for that with the company anniversary coming up. Though, I have a feeling it has something to do with me walking out on Nicole’s family the other day. I sit in my car and glare at the road. The only way out would be if my EV malfunctioned in a significant way. I’d be ecstatic if its battery burst into flames.Unfortunately, my car doesn’t cooperate. It drives like a dream. Fucking modern engineering.I park my car in front of grandfather’s mansion and climb out. The yard is huge and the surrounding shrubs have been trimmed low to ensure everyone has an unobstructed view of the garden. The main structure is huge, with ivory walls and turrets
Peach Salinger Before I can stammer out another half-baked excuse, the front door swings open and in walks Reginald. He looks completely unfazed. I blink in surprise as he steps forward, his eyes locking onto my grandmother’s.“She was with me all night,” Reginald says smoothly.My head snaps toward him. What is he doing? My grandmother's gaze shifts slowly from me to Reginald, her eyes narrowing as she studies him. For a tense moment, no one speaks. Then, something changes in my grandmother’s face—her stern expression softens just a fraction.“Reginald?” she says with surprise and something almost like fondness.Reginald nods. “Yes, Mei Mei, it’s me.”Without another word, she beckons him over, her hand extending towards him in what looks like a welcoming gesture. I breathe a tiny sigh of relief, thinking for a brief second that the worst is over, that maybe this will be easier than I expected. But then, as soon as Reginald leans in for what he probably assumes will be a hug,
Peach Salinger I must’ve fallen asleep in Rhys arms last night because when I wake up, it’s morning. Opening my eyes, I stare at the familiar surroundings, my body sore and aching from the sex we had last night.I had forgotten what it was like with Rhys, how cathartic the roller coaster ride of pain and ecstasy could be. I feel both empty and exhilarated at the same time, wrung out, yet invigorated by the maelstrom of emotions.Sitting up gingerly, I wince at my sore back. Casting a glance around the room, I spot a door that I assume leads to the bathroom. Rhys is not in the room, so I get up and go over there, feeling the need to wash up. The bathroom contains a huge shower, as well as a sink and toilet. There’s a plastic-wrapped toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash tucked inside a little shelf on the wall. I use all three and follow up with a quick shower.Then, feeling infinitely more refreshed, I go back into the bedroom to get dressed. I grab one of Rhys’s t-shirt and his s
Rhys Van Acker I pace the length of my living room, running a hand through my hair for what feels like the hundredth time. The sound of the rain beating against the windows is relentless and it makes my blood boil even more.It’s driving me crazy. It’s like every nerve in my body is on edge. I glance at my phone, hoping for another text from her. Nothing. Just silence. The rain pounds harder, and I feel this tight knot forming in my chest. She should be here. Under me. Fucking her till her pussy spasms on my cock. But instead, she’s probably curled up in her apartment. The blood in my veins roars. My skin stretches taut, and I feel like a beast starved for her.Suddenly, the doorbell rings, cutting through my thoughts. My heart jumps in my chest, and for a second, I freeze. Who the hell would be here in this weather?I stride over to the door and yank it open, and then I see her.Peach.She’s standing there, completely soaked from head to toe. Rainwater is dripping from her hair a
Peach Salingers I walk back toward the camp, trying to calm myself down, but my heart is still pounding. Rhys has this way of making me want him and now my head’s a mess. As I approach, I see Reggie glance up from packing, his face curious, like he’s waiting for an explanation.“What took you so long?” he asks, standing up straight.“Just work stuff,” I lie, brushing him off as casually as I can. “Mr Van Acker was giving me some last-minute details.”Reggie’s eyes narrow, but he doesn’t press. I know he doesn’t believe me. I can feel it from that familiar long hard look he always gives me. But I don’t have the energy to explain, nor do I want to. Especially not about Rhys.“It’s our last day here,” Reggie says after a moment. “We should start packing up.”I nod and we start packing our stuff, loading the gear into the car. Marianne barely acknowledges me. She’s been cold ever since we got here, and I don’t even know why. Not that I care right now, I’m tired of trying to find o
Rhys Van Acker I drive with full speed, my hands gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary. The campsite is the only place I can think of. My phone vibrates with text after text from my mother, but I don’t bother looking. I know what she wants. What they all want. The car screeches to a halt when I pull up at the campsite, and I step out, scanning the area. A group of campers come into view, huddled around a fire, laughing and talking. And then I see her. Peach. My heart jumps into my throat when I spot her, that signature long black hair falling over her shoulders, and her long legs are on full display in that ridiculously short skirt. She’s in a huge, oversized shirt and definitely not wearing a bra. Her pointy nipples are so evident in that big shirt. Definitely not hers. I already know who it belongs to, and just as I think it, he appears. Reggie. I hate him. Always have. Even though Peach once told me they were just friends, something’s still off about him.
