ADRIAN So this is really happening. I am going to now have to compete against Maggie's wimpy boyfriend? Great... so now I have to make sure he does not win. It's not that I was worried or anything. I've been playing beach volleyball since I was a child, so this rich asshole doesn't stand a chance so even if he had played before, he didn't have years of practice like I did. Chase didn't seem very sporty either. I couldn't underestimate him, though. I wouldn't make an arrogant mistake like that, so I decided to take this game seriously. It started out as a friendly game. Maggie played a few rounds and decided to sit out for the rest of the game. But since I won against Chase twice, he kept wanting a re-match. "Don't be a sore loser, Chase. You lost, so just go home," I barked after a while. I was all sweaty and irritable. "Just one more game," Chase insisted. "Chase, come on. I want to go back home already," Maggie complained from the sideline. "Yeah, come get your man, Maggie.
MEGHANSomething changed in Adrian's eyes when I touched him, and he didn't seem like he hated me that much anymore. Maybe he was finally starting to realize that I did care about him. But he was still acting defiant. He wasn't ready to let his guard down yet.I went back to the living room and looked for Chase but couldn't find him anywhere. I saw Luke by the drinks, so I decided to talk to him instead."Hey, Maggie. What are you doing all by yourself?" Luke asked. "Where is your boyfriend?"I shrugged. "I have no idea. Chase is way more social than me, so he could be anywhere, making new friends."Luke moved closer. "So...um...how serious are you with this guy?"I looked at him with surprise. Was Luke still interested in me even though he knew about Adrian and me? I thought that would be a major turn-off for him. "Why do you ask?""I was just wondering because..." Luke started, but someone suddenly grabbed my hand. I gasped and looked at Adrian, who had a sour expression on his fac
ADRIAN"Why do you care so much about what Chase had to say to me?" Tiffany asked.I'd been ignoring her since Chase slunk off; he'd left immediately after Luke took Maggie back to our parents' house. We were cleaning up some from the party. Most people didn't want to stick around after Luke exited, which said a lot about how great Luke was as a host."I don't," I snapped, "I made it all up because I'm jealous, right? Possessive or some shit?"Tiffany snapped right back at me, "Don't be an asshole, Adrian. It's not like it's a big deal he hit on me. I never would have taken him up on any offer he had to make."I looked over at her, where she was stacking shot glasses onto a tray. Her face was flushed, and she did look pretty pissed. I could almost believe I'd misinterpreted what Chase had said to her, only I knew I hadn't.Tiffany smiled when she saw me looking, putting the tray on a side table to come over and touch my arm. She said, "I don't want him. I want you. I think I've made t
ADRIAN"Are you trying to say I'm some kind of---bitch?" Maggie managed to squeak out, looking annoyed and embarrassed at the same time.Cocking a brow, I snorted, "No. I'm literally saying I don't think you're sorry at all for how I feel about you. You like the way I can't get over you and I know you really like the fact I want you."Maggie tried to speak several times without managing to chirp out a single word. I knew it was a mixture of emotions holding her back. Embarrassment and arousal being the most obvious from her expression."Are you embarrassed?" I asked.I couldn't really understand why Maggie would feel shy after all we'd done together. She was a little late to the party for second thoughts. We'd already done the dirty deed.Part of me wanted to believe Maggie hadn't given it up to anyone except me while the rational part of my brain argued in favor of recognizing her right to choose who and when she shared herself with others.I guessed some primal part of me was still
MEGHANHad that really just happened? I put my hands to my face to try to cool my cheeks. The burning was for sure real. I wasn't imagining how hot my cheeks were or how hot I was all over. My body felt too hot with my skin being too tight and I wondered if maybe that was a little like how Adrian felt right now. "Stop it! Stop thinking about it," I told myself. Guys were always trying new ways to get it in. Adrian was playing with me. He was either trying to convince me to have sex with him or just trying to embarrass me to get back at me for---everything.'Everything' was a lot; I wanted to know if it would ever go away or if it would be there between the two of us for the rest of our lives. I didn't want running away to Boston to be the final mistake I got to make with Adrian. The longer I was home, the more I realized I wanted to try things again with him even if he was a jerk. Adrian was sort of like MY jerk so I was willing to deal with his moodiness, his sarcasm, his wise
ADRIAN"I knew you'd answer," I said as soon as Maggie connected the call.Over an hour had passed since I'd left Maggie. Why should I get in a hurry to call her? Why shouldn't I make her sweat a little? Maggie was the one who broke my heart. She was the one who screwed me then left me even after knowing I was in love with her. She only got to take what I dished out. No matter what I did to her---Meghan deserved it because what she did to me was worse.Slumping down on the guestroom bed, I made myself comfortable as I said, "I bet you missed me, too. Didn't you, Maggie? Didn't you miss me?" "No! I just got worried because you were slow. You're a terrible driver. I thought you might have wrecked," Maggie said.I could hear a hint of defiance in her tone, but it was weak. Maggie didn't want to piss me off. She wanted to hear what I had to say. She wanted to be part of this conversation. She wanted me.Knowing I had her on the hook made my dick harder than ever. I unbuttoned my jean
MEGHANTen points for Adrian and zero points for me.He made me feel humiliated and helpless once again, and this time I paved the way for him. I practically threw myself at his mercy and all because he talked dirty to me over the phone.Why did I do it?Was I really desperate for his attention that much?I sighed as I looked at my phone after Adrian hung up on me abruptly. I sort of saw it coming, but it still hurt when he dismissed me like that.I closed my eyes and lay back as my body still felt the aftershock of my orgasm. I didn't care if he did that to get back at me because what I felt for him was genuine.I shouldn't feel ashamed of my feelings. Why should I? This wasn't the first time he called me a pervert and a slut. If you think it would drive me away, he's wrong. I can handle him.Adrian can hate me all he wants, but I decided I was not giving up on him.I looked back at my phone and sighed. Six missed calls from Chase. He had been calling me nonstop, even though I told h
ADRIANLuke looked at me suspiciously. He had been staring at me intently ever since I joined him to play some video games."What, you think I'm handsome or something?" I barked."You are looking kind of happy. What's going on?" he inquired.Shaking my head, I scoffed at Luke. "I'm looking happy, and it's a problem? What kind of best friend are you?"Luke chuckled and turned his attention back to the game. "I'm not saying that. It just seems sudden because just the other day, you were in a slump, getting pissed and everyone and everything, and this morning you are singing in the shower? Kind of weird to me, that's all."Luke wasn't wrong. I was feeling a lot happier after that phone conversation with Maggie. Hearing her voice---so flustered, was the highlight of my day. This was just what I wanted. I wanted her to feel what it's like to want something she couldn't have.I wanted her to feel what I felt that day when she left. Heartbroken and lost."I am just in a good mood. Don't read
