Jasper’s POVDespite my self-disappointment and the guilt eating away at me, I forced myself outside and looked around the house, and assessed the damage from last night’s party. The place is a complete mess. There are empty bottles and cans everywhere, food spilled on the carpet, and what looks like someone threw up in the corner of the living room.Normally, Xavier would be here to help me clean up after something like this. We always work together to get the house back to normal before our parents come home. But he’s nowhere to be found, and I have no idea where he went or when he’ll be back.I pull out my phone and call for cleaning services. I can’t deal with this mess on my own, especially not with the way my head is pounding and my stomach is churning. When I explain the situation to them, they agree to come over right away, but they warn me it’s going to be expensive for such short notice.I don’t care about the money. I just need this place to look normal again before my pare
Jasper’s POVI feel warm in my bed from both sides, which is strange because I don’t remember going to sleep with anyone. My head is pounding hard, and I can taste the bitter remnants of alcohol in my mouth. Everything feels fuzzy and confusing, like I’m trying to remember a dream that keeps slipping away from me.I suddenly hear my door creak open, which makes me jolt my eyes open immediately. The sound cuts through the fog in my brain like a knife. I blink several times, trying to focus my vision and figure out what time it is. The light streaming through my window tells me it’s early in the morning, but I have no idea exactly how early.I try to move and immediately realize I’m naked under the sheets. Panic starts to set in as I drag the sheets up to cover myself, my heart racing as I try to piece together what happened last night. That’s when I see Sarah standing in my doorway, staring at me with wide eyes.We gape at each other for what feels like forever. Her face is pale and sh
Tara’s POV“Jake,” I say, looking at him seriously. “Can I ask you something honestly?”“Of course,” he replies, sitting down on the edge of the bed near me.“Are you comfortable with me?” I ask directly. “I mean, really comfortable? Because sometimes it feels like you’re holding back so much that I wonder if you even want to be in this relationship.”Jake seems taken aback by my question. “Of course I’m comfortable with you,” he says quickly. “Why would you ask that?”But instead of making me feel better, his quick response just makes me more frustrated. I turn away from him and refuse to look in his direction, feeling like he’s just giving me the answer he thinks I want to hear rather than being honest about how he really feels.I start thinking back to all the conversations we’ve had, all the promises he’s made about revealing his face when he’s “comfortable.” The more I think about it, the more I realize that maybe he’s never going to be comfortable with me. Maybe he’s been lying
Tara’s POVJake rushes to the bathroom after trying to fit his mask properly, and that makes me feel ten times worse than I already did. I sit on the edge of the bed with my hands covering my face, wishing that I had never given in to my curiosity about what he looks like under that mask.I can hear the sound of running water from the bathroom, and I imagine he’s probably splashing cold water on his face or trying to calm himself down. The silence in the room feels heavy and uncomfortable, and I keep replaying what just happened over and over in my mind.Why did I do that? Why couldn’t I just respect his boundaries and wait for him to reveal his face when he was ready? I feel like such a terrible person right now. Jake has been nothing but sweet and caring to m
Tara’s POVI slept off after having the most incredible sex with Jake that lasted almost through the entire night. My body feels completely satisfied and exhausted in the best possible way. Every muscle in my body feels relaxed and content.When I open my eyes, I check the time on my phone and realize it’s very deep in the night. The hotel room is dark except for the soft light coming through the curtains from the street outside. I can hear the quiet sounds of the city below, but inside our room, everything is peaceful and calm.I turn to stare at Jake sleeping beside me, and I can’t help but recall all the amazing sex we just had. The way he touched me, the way he made me feel, the way our bodies moved together in perfect harmony. It was even b

Nobody moves or says anything for what feels like forever. The silence is so thick I can almost touch it. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest, and the alcohol is making everything feel fuzzy and strange.I’m able to feel the difference in Jane’s warmth compared to what I was expecting. Her lips felt different, her body felt different, everything about her was different from what my drunk mind thought it would be. But we’re all heated up from the alcohol and the party atmosphere, and our bodies feel excited and eager.I try to stagger out of the room because I know this is wrong, I know I shouldn’t be doing this. But my legs won’t cooperate with me, and I end up falling forward onto Jane instead. My hands accidentally land on her br
