I let out a silent shaky breath. “But why?”“Teyana, Jeremy and Zayne don’t like each other. Zayne is my brother, Jeremy is yours. We can’t really co-exist peacefully. And with the way I saw things yesterday…your brother…”“Step-brother.” I corrected. She shrugged. “Whatever. He seemed quite possessive of you. And finding out you and Zayne had history? That was a shock.”“The history is that we kissed once, okay? And I was drunk off my ass. It shouldn’t have happened. You don’t have to worry, I won’t even talk to your brother anymore.” I hated that I sounded desperate, but I didn’t want to be the reason she left. Or maybe I was starting to get fond of her too.She shook her head slowly, still disagreeing with me. Then she grabbed her phone from the bed, scrolled through quickly, then held the screen toward me.“Have you seen this? If not, you should.” I leaned forward and gasped. “Yeah. That’s what you caused.” In her phone was a blurry clip of Jeremy’s fist colliding with Zayne’s j
Teyana’s POV“Drop me here,” I said, the moment we got a decent distance across my dorm.Jeremy’s bike, one I’ve come to know was a Ducati Davel 1260 rumbled to a stop, the sound vibrating up my legs even after he cut the engine. Well, I didn’t know about bikes. I had once looked it up online because it looked so luxurious. The price didn’t disappoint me. The boy was stinking rich.I didn’t wait after climbing off. The second my feet touched the ground, I stormed off.“Teyana, wait up.”I wanted to keep walking, but my body betrayed me and stilled. I turned, and it almost hurt to look at him. He was sinfully magnetic in the morning light, his eyes narrowed under the growing sun, his hair still slightly disheveled from the night before. The bruise on his lips had darkened, and the memory of tasting the faint blood there when we kissed twisted in my stomach.His eyes pinned me. “I thought we stopped in front of your dorm. Where are you heading to?”I swallowed. “Well, I still have some
Jeremy’s POVThe knock came hard enough to rattle the damn doorframe. I cursed under my breath. Give it to Bianca to get all worked up whenever she couldn’t reach me.“Where do I hide?” Teyana scrambled up, using the sheet to cover her half-naked body. I hated that something else had to remind her of why this wasn’t right. I could see the fear and regret all over her face.I didn’t want her to regret.I didn’t want her to hide. But…that would be trouble for her. If it was another woman, I wouldn’t care about Bianca seeing us together or the world knowing even. But in Teyana’s case, a lot was at stake. No one could know I was fucking her or all I had built, all my father had built would come crashing down.So I jerked my head to the closet, guiding her. She panicked as she rushed inside it. My chest tightened when the closet door clicked shut behind her.My attention diverted again when Bianca shouted outside the door. “Jeremy, fuck! Are you ignoring me? I know you are in there.” I almo
Maybe it was the airconditioner, or the aftermath effect of what I and Jeremy had done, but I was shaking. My whole body ached, my legs were trembling where I was sprawled on the floor. Embarassment was wearing in now. I had begged Jeremy not to stop fucking me. God. I actually said that out loud.I shied away from Jeremy’s gaze that was searing heat into my skin, but before the shame could pull me in further, his rough palm slid over my stomach, smearing the mess he had made on me. He was so raw—liked to play dirty. His other hand cupped my cheek, forcing me to look at him.“Look at you,” he muttered, his voice still thick with lust. “Shaking all over. Can’t even catch your breath.”I closed my eyes. “Stop teasing me.”But he didn’t. Of course he didn’t. He dragged his thumb across my bottom lip, slowly and lingering, like he was memorizing the tremble there.“You begged, Teyana.” He smirked, eyes still burning into my skin. “Begged me like you couldn’t live without it.” He added as
“Jer…” My heart was pounding a million, trillion times. He jerked me to his bare hard body, my tank top slipping up a little at the force. His hands held me in place where my skin was naked—my stomach, his breath fanning the side of my face. I was melting.“Where are you going, little nerd?” I recognized that tone. It was the same he used with me that night, before he went all the way with me and gave me my first time. A night I had replayed in my head countless times over.“Jer,” His name slipped off my mouth again, but this time around, it came as a moan. Embarassment flooded my body. “I gave you the option to leave. You stayed.” His voice thickened, hands still holding me in place. “You don’t get a second time.” I closed my eyes. I was at his mercy. “We…can’t.” My mouth said what my body seriously frowned at. “Can’t what, little nerd?” He jerked me around to face him then pinned my body to the wall. His eyes…damn it. I couldn’t look again. So I looked anywhere but him. Or else,
By the time we pulled up in front of a secluded house in what looked like a private area, I was already rethinking my decision of following Jeremy here. We hadn’t said a word to each other during the ride. My heart hadn’t stopped pounding either— since he pinned me over that bike.Jeremy killed the engine, still not saying a word. I exhaled sharply as the distracting pressure of his back left me when he swung off the bike, leather jacket glinting under the dim security lights. I climbed off after him, a little stiffly.His phone beeped. It had been beeping since.“Won’t you pick your call?” I asked. I watched as he put it on airplane mode before responding to me. “No need.” Oh okay. My own phone had gone off before we got here or I would have been so sure Carol would call.Lots had happened tonight. From realizing Stacy was Zayne’s younger sister to the fights, and embarrassment that followed. Not to talk off the moment between Jeremy and I that got me all worked up earlier. It’s been
