LOGINJENNA’S POVHours passed, and he still hadn’t opened my messages. I closed my text app and spent the next hour mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, hoping that by the time I checked my phone again, he’d have read them and replied.When I finally reopened our chat, the read receipt was there and the little typing bubble popped up. It stayed on the screen for a long, agonizing moment, vanished, and didn't come back.I let out a heavy sigh, tossing my phone onto the bed.Then my phone dinged with a fresh notification. I grabbed it off the duvet, my heart doing a quick flutter as I opened his text.You should go, it read.I stared at the screen, my brow furrowing as I quickly typed back: He hired Roman to stop us from seeing each other, Alec. I can’t go.His reply came back almost instantly.Listen to him.A bitter scoff escaped my lips. Fine. If he wanted me gone, I’d leave. But he needed to understand that once I walked out that door, he was never going to see me again.I grabbed my two
JENNA’S POVI don’t even know how I did it, but the speed I used to sprint across the room to hit that door put any Fast and Furious movie to shame.My chest rose and fell in heavy heaves as I unlocked the latch, opened the door, and met my dad’s eyes.“Hey, Dad,” I forced out, slapping on a bright, fake smile.He frowned, eyeing me up and down. “Why do you look like you just ran a marathon?”“Oh. Um... I was working out.”His frown deepened. “Why? You look fine the way you are.”“It’s just healthy exercise,” I lied, wiping a bead of sweat from my forehead. “What did you want to tell me, Dad?”“Well, I texted you that I wanted you downstairs, but you didn’t reply. We need to talk.”“Talk about what?”“Come downstairs and find out.”“Okay, but I need to shower first.”He checked his watch. “You have ten minutes, Jenna.”“Yes, Dad,” I nodded quickly.He turned around and walked away, his footsteps echoing down the hallway.I let out a huge breath of relief, closing the door and locking
ALEC’S POVShe took her eyes off me, her index finger sliding up to rub her clit. She coated all her wetness back over her slit before pushing her finger straight inside. A low moan escaped her throat, her eyes fluttering shut.The heavy vein along my cock throbbed violently, shooting raw electricity straight down my spine. I ground my teeth and fisted my length harder, hating how much I wanted this more than I’d ever wanted anything in my life. I lowered my gaze, watching her pump her finger in and out of her wet heat, and all I could think about was how perfectly my cock would fit inside that beautiful cunt.She slid a second finger inside, letting out a choked, trapped moan.That was it. That sound triggered something unhinged in me. My gaze snapped back up to her pussy. “Add one more, vixen. You can take it.”She didn’t answer. She didn't look at me either.“Do what I say and fucking look at me.”Her head turned, her heavy dark eyes locking onto mine with a sly, smug look. “Deman
I stretched my hands across the bed, trying to pull her back into my arms, but all I touched was cold sheets.I opened my eyes with a groan.She ran away, of course she did.But her scent still lingered everywhere. On my pillow. My sheets, my skin. That sweet vanilla mixed with something that was purely her, soft and addictive enough to make me lose my fucking mind.“Fuck,” I muttered hoarsely, grabbing the pillow and pressing it against my face as I inhaled deeply.It was pathetic.I knew it was pathetic. But I couldn’t stop.My room had never smelled this good before her. It felt like she had crawled under my skin and settled there permanently, leaving pieces of herself everywhere just to torture me after she was gone.When the scent started fading from one side of the pillow, I flipped it over immediately and buried my face into the other side like a fucking addict desperate for one more hit.Jesus Christ.I physically couldn’t fucking stand, but guess what was standing— My Fucking
I spun around, finding a guy I had never seen before grinning down at me with bloodshot eyes. “Need some help, sweetheart?”“Yes,” I breathed, trying to step around him. “He’s trying to force—”The guy laughed, cutting me off. “No, baby. I mean do you need help taking the shot? Because you look like you need a little encouragement.”“What—?”Before I could react, the guy grabbed my upper arm, pinning me, and shoved me back toward Gio. Gio’s hand shot out, entangling his fingers tightly into my hair and yanking my head back.A cry of pain escaped my throat, opening my mouth—and Gio used the opening to tilt the glass and pour the harsh liquid straight down my throat.Tears burst into my eyes as I gagged, the alcohol burning my throat and spilling down my chin.“Good girl,” Gio muttered, finally releasing my hair and grabbing my wrist in an iron grip. “You must be nice and loose now, huh?”He yanked me toward the back hallway, the other guy trailing right behind us. Panic exploded throug
Alec didn’t even slow down, he walked straight past us.His eyes flicked to mine for the briefest second—cold, empty, completely detached—before sliding away again like I wasn’t even there. Like I was just another stranger standing in the hallway.Nothing.He kept walking, the sound of his boots echoing against the tiled floor until he disappeared around the corner toward the gym.The hallway seemed to breathe again but whispers started almost instantly, spreading from one group to another as everyone processed what they’d just witnessed. I didn’t need to hear the words to know what they were saying.Gio let out a low whistle before turning to me, a slow grin spreading across his face.“Damn,” he murmured, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. “So the rumors are true.”“What rumors?”“That the king finally gave up his throne.”A bitter ache settled in my chest, but I refused to let it show. Instead, I formed a bright, fake and absolutely convincing smile.“He did,” I replied, making su
After long hours of different lectures, with Liza by my side of course, it was finally time to go home.And that was when I realized something very important.I had no transportation.And worse, I didn’t even know my home address.I pulled out my phone and dialed Dad’s number. It rang then went str
The next morning, I woke up feeling strangely light, a feeling I hadn’t experienced in weeks. For the first time since I arrived in this town, there was a quiet excitement humming beneath my skin, the kind that made the air itself feel different. I dressed quickly in a simple T-shirt and jeans befor
I dressed up and went downstairs for dinner. Anna was placing some plates on the table, so I joined her, helping arrange them.“Is Dad having dinner with us? He’s not back, is he?” I asked, adjusting the forks.“No, he’ll have his when he’s back,” she replied.“Then who is the extra plate for?” I a
His body froze, mid-thrust. The girl beneath him whimpered, confused by the sudden halt.For a beat, a long, agonizing beat, he simply stared. Then, a slow, chilling smirk spread across his lips. His eyes, still locked on mine, held a malicious glint. The girl cried out a gasp of pleasure as he sla
