The room was dimly lit, shadows flickering across the walls as he knelt between my legs, his broad shoulders framed by the faint glow of the bedside lamp.
My thighs were spread wide, pussy wet, his fing rs moved slowly down my inner thighs. Fingers slowly touching my swollen clit. Damn. His eyes locked on mine, dark and filled with desire, as he positioned himself at my entrance. I could feel the blunt head of his cock pressing against me, teasing, stretching the slick folds of my pussy. The anticipation was maddening, and I whimpered, lifting my hips to meet him, desperate for more. “Patience,” he growled, his voice low and rough, sending a shiver down my spine. But I didn’t want patience. I wanted him, deep, hard, all of him. I was a girl who depended on masturbation for pleasure. My interactions with penetration was a dildo. “Please,” I begged, my voice cracking as my hands clutched at the sheets beneath me. He didn’t make me wait long. With one slow, deliberate thrust, he sank into me, stretching me open inch by inch until he was buried to the hilt. The sheer size of him had my breath hitching, my walls clenching tightly around his cock. “Fuck,” I gasped, my back arching off the bed as he filled me completely. His hands gripped my hips, holding me steady as he pulled back almost all the way, only to drive into me again, harder this time. The sound of our bodies meeting was obscene, wet and messy, every thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. “God, you’re so fucking tight,” he groaned, his grip on my hips tightening as he set a relentless pace. Each thrust was deep and precise, hitting spots inside me that made my vision blur. My moans filled the room, mingling with the rhythmic slap of his hips against my ass. The wet sounds of his cock moving in and out of me were loud and shameless, evidence of just how soaked I was. “Harder,” I pleaded, my nails digging into his arms as he leaned over me, his face close to mine. “You want it harder?” he asked, a wicked smirk curling his lips as he thrust into me with bruising force. “Yes,” I cried out, my voice breaking as he gave me exactly what I asked for. He didn’t hold back, his cock driving into me with a punishing rhythm that had me gripping the sheets for dear life. My left hand went to My breasts, playing with the nipples as he went faster. My body rocked with each thrust, the pleasure building to an unbearable peak. Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, he pulled out abruptly, leaving me gasping and aching for him. “Turn over,” he commanded, his voice rough with need. I obeyed without hesitation, rolling onto my hands and knees, presenting myself to him. He didn’t waste a second, his hands gripping my hips as he slid back into me, filling me completely in one smooth motion. “Fuck, yes,” I moaned, my head falling forward as he began to move again, deeper this time. He reached forward, tangling his hand in my hair and pulling my head back, forcing me to arch as he pounded into me from behind. Each thrust sent shockwaves through my body, his cock hitting places that made me scream his name. “You feel so fucking good,” he growled, his other hand reaching around to grab my breast, his fingers pinching my nipple. The combination of pain and pleasure had me teetering on the edge, my thighs trembling as he fucked me harder, deeper. My wetness coated him, the lewd squelching sounds of his cock moving in and out of me filling the room. “Touch me,” I begged, my voice shaking as I felt the heat building in my core. His hand slid down between my legs, his fingers finding my clit with unerring precision. He rubbed it in tight, fast circles, the pressure perfect, and I shattered. “Fuck, I’m gonna—” My words dissolved into a scream as my orgasm hit me like a tidal wave, my pussy clenching around him as I came hard. A gush of wetness soaked the sheets beneath me as my body convulsed, pleasure ripping through me in waves. He didn’t stop, his thrusts relentless as he chased his own release, my body shaking with aftershocks. “Fuck,” he groaned, his hips slamming into me one last time before he pulled out, his hand stroking himself quickly. I turned my head just in time to see him finish, his cock pulsing as he spilled his hot release onto my face. The sight of him, his chest heaving, muscles tense, was enough to make my breath catch. I was lucky to have such a wonderful experience with such a hot guy. He collapsed beside me, his body warm and solid against mine as the room filled with the sound of our ragged breathing. My skin was slick with sweat, face with cum that I licked, tasting him. My legs trembling from the intensity of it all. “Happy birthday,” he murmured, a smirk tugging at his lips as he reached out to brush a strand of hair from my face. I couldn’t help but laugh, my chest rising and falling as I tried to catch my breath. “Best present ever,” I whispered, a satisfied grin spreading across my face. *** I woke up to the sound of birds chirping,those traitorous bastards, and the faint smell of cologne still lingering in the room. My eyes blinked open, adjusting to the soft light filtering through the curtains, and then I froze. He was there. Damn…he was really handsome. Dark cropped hair, a handsome face, with plump kissable lips. Same lips that kissed mine last night. A blush crept to my cheeks and I looked away. Why was I acting as if we didn't just had a night filled with five rounds of sex? If we weren't drunk and tired, I swore we would have had a marathon. Sitting on the edge of the bed, casually pulling on his jeans like he had all the time in the world. My sundress was draped over his lap, and the faintest smirk played on his lips as he caught me staring. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice deeper in the morning, a lazy drawl that made my stomach flip for no reason at all. “Yeah,” I croaked, my throat dry, my brain racing to catch up. I propped myself up on my elbows, the sheets clinging to me in a way that screamed, last night happened. My cheeks burned as his eyes, very blue, by the way, trailed over me with zero shame. “You don’t look like you regret it,” he said, standing up and tugging his shirt over his head, the muscles in his back flexing annoyingly. “I don’t,” I shot back, sitting up straighter. “But that doesn’t mean I’m calling you or anything. It was a one-time thing.” He chuckled, pulling his belt through the loops with a snap that was way too deliberate. “Funny, I don’t remember giving you my number.” “Good.” I folded my arms across my chest, pretending I wasn’t acutely aware of how naked I still was under the sheets. “Because I wouldn’t take it if you did.” He turned to face me then, his lips curling into a full-on smirk, the kind that said challenge accepted. “Liar,” he said simply. “Excuse me?” “You’d take it. You’d probably save it under something ridiculous like ‘Hot Stranger’ or ‘Birthday Gift.’” I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the way his grin lit up his entire face. “You’re way too confident for someone who wore my dress last night.” His laughter filled the room, rich and unapologetic, as he picked up the sundress from the bed and held it up like he was about to model it again. We were both drunk, and I wanted to give him a blow job with him wearing a dress. It was stupid. “To be fair, it looked better on me.” “Debatable,” I muttered, though the memory of him winking at me while wearing it was both mortifying and hilarious. He tossed the dress back onto the bed, leaning down just enough to invade my personal space. “You’re fun,” he said, his voice softer now, almost teasing. “But next time, maybe try to learn my name before you decide it’s a one-night thing.” “Next time?” I scoffed, arching an eyebrow. “You’re bold.” “You love it,” he said, straightening up and slipping on his shoes. Before I could reply with something witty, or at least mildly insulting, he reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a pen. With a quick flick of his wrist, he grabbed my arm, scribbling something on my skin before I could stop him. “What the hell?” I yanked my arm back to see a string of numbers written in messy, confident strokes. “In case you change your mind,” he said, capping the pen and tossing it back into his pocket. I stared at the numbers, then back at him. “I’m not calling you.” “Sure, you’re not,” he replied with a wink, stepping toward the door. “Wait,” I called out before I could stop myself. “What’s your name?” He turned, his hand on the doorknob, that same infuriating smirk still plastered on his face. “Ryder,” he said simply, opening the door. “Don’t forget it.” And then he was gone, leaving me alone with a messy bed, a stolen dress, and a scribbled phone number that I definitely wasn’t going to call. Probably.I stared into his eyes for a half-second too long before I turned away.No smile. No nod. Just... silence.If Ryder was surprised by that, he didn’t show it. But his jaw ticked. Slightly and tightly. Like he was biting down on something sharp.I didn't smile at him and turned on my heels, kept walking without looking back at him. My heart clenched at the feeling of doing that but I didn't care. It's gone. He is a traitor and I don't trust him anymore. I shook my head not wanting to think about the past or him. I didn't want him to ruin my mood. I came here to discover Sienna's goal and use it to my own leverage. I pushed open the glass door and stepped into an exquisite looking ballroom. The ballroom was carved from money—glass walls, black marble floors, spotlights diffused just right to make everyone look more important than they really were. Everything about it was curated for vanity. And tonight? I wasn’t here to blend in.I was here to haunt someone.My crimson dress caught eve
I wore sunshades to cheer practice.They didn’t like that.At all.“Evie,” one of the girls said, tugging her ponytail tighter as she approached, “this isn’t a fashion show.”I didn’t even look her way. Just kept stretching.“It’s the sun,” I muttered. “My eyes are sensitive.”“It’s cloudy.”“I’m sensitive to clouds too.”A few girls snorted behind me. Whispered things they didn’t bother keeping quiet. I didn’t care. I wasn’t here for them. I wasn’t even really here for cheer right now. I just needed to move. To breathe. To focus on anything that wasn’t him.“Where’s Mia?” another girl asked.No one answered.No texts.No calls.Nothing.Vivianne slid into place beside me during warm-ups. Her gaze flicked toward me under her lashes. “You good?”I nodded too fast. “Just busy.”She hummed like she didn’t buy it, but didn’t press either. Thank God.Because if anyone asked one more time, I was either going to cry or scream.And I didn’t feel like deciding.---Later that day, I was in the
Stay calm, Evie. Stay calm.But I was shaking with anger.Not the loud kind. Not the kind that screamed or threw things.This was the kind that lived deep in your bones. That crawled under your skin and clenched your throat and made everything feel too quiet.We were eating takeout on his couch.Ryder was talking about football now. Something about new drills and how Coach Graham was riding him hard about missing a pass last week. His voice was low, familiar.Safe.But I barely heard a word.My fingers were curled around the chopsticks, noodles untouched in the container.He glanced at me mid-sentence, brow creasing. “You okay? You’ve barely said a word.”I didn’t look at him.Not yet.if I didn't say it, I would die from within. Even though I wanted to act as if it didn't matter. It did. It fucking did. So I did it. Even if it would ruin our relationship I said it. “You said you weren’t there.”Ryder stopped mid bite.The room fell silent.He blinked. “What?”I finally turned to
Ryder’s penthouse looked like something off the cover of a billionaire lifestyle magazine. It was sleek, masculine cold in a way that felt intentional. The walls were painted a deep charcoal, the floors a polished dark wood that reflected just enough light from the massive windows facing the city skyline. There was a pool table in the far corner, untouched. Shelves lined one wall, filled with books that looked like they were chosen more for aesthetic than interest.But the living room, yeah, that was his favorite spot. Black leather sectional. Minimalist décor. Everything smelled like cedarwood and ambition.I was curled into the far corner of the couch, arms wrapped around my knees. He stood across from me, hands shoved in his pockets, staring like I was some unsolvable equation.I told him everything that happened with Maya, not that I was hoping for his support. I didn't need it. Not from a liar.“I’m not saying you’re wrong,” he said, voice tight, “I’m saying you need to slow
Dean Marshall.He was the head of Ravencrest’s disciplinary board. Former military. Cold eyes. Voice like gravel. The kind of man who didn’t tolerate excuses and had zero patience for drama. If you got a summons from him, you didn’t sleep the night before.And there he was.His name, listed beside all the others.“He was part of it?” I asked, voice barely a whisper.Maya didn’t look away from the screen. “That explains a lot, doesn’t it?”I swallowed. “The missing records. The cover-up. No investigation. It makes sense now. He was probably paid."Maya nodded. “He has the power to bury anything he wants. And if he was in on it…”“He made sure Liliana’s death disappeared,” I finished for her.I stared at the screen, fists clenched at my sides, heart pounding so hard it hurt.But then—My eyes froze on a paused frame in one of the videos.Two boys.Laughing. Holding red solo cups.One of them was Caden.And the other, younger, maybe seventeen.Was the one person that made my heart skippe
Maya drove quietly for a while, her fingers drumming on the wheel, some low R&B song playing through the speakers. It wasn’t awkward, just… heavy. Like we both had too many thoughts and not enough space in the car to say them out loud.We pulled into a quiet neighborhood, one of those older parts of town with cracked sidewalks, chipped fences, and the scent of fried food wafting through the air. Her house was small, pale blue with flower pots near the porch. To be sincerely speaking, I expected more. Most Ravencrest students, boast about their houses. Homes and how rich they were. This was just unexpected. “This is me,” she said, throwing the car into park.“Cute,” I murmured.Maya smirked. “Wait till you see inside. I know it isn't much, but it's mine and I worked hard for it without my parents help.”I smiled. "Really nice."I followed her up the steps, and the second we got inside, I was hit with the smell of cinnamon and old books. A fan spun lazily overhead, and photos cover
