Mag-log inAudric“What the fuck are you two doing?” I demanded again, refusing to believe what I’d just seen. There had to be another explanation. There just had to be. Because why the hell were they making out under the same table we’d been eating at?The shock lasted only a second before it gave way to something far hotter—anger. It erupted in my chest so suddenly I could barely breathe.Zuri snapped her legs shut, yanking her skirt down, face flooding red.“Jeez, relax.” Ethan leaned back in his chair like this was nothing. “It’s not a big deal.”“Not a big deal?” My voice climbed. “She’s family, Ethan. We grew up with her. This isn’t supposed to happen.”“Why are you acting like we’re not all adults?” Chris said, not even bothering to look apologetic. “She’s fine. Nobody forced anything.”“This isn’t the first time, is it.” I looked between the two of them, then at Zuri, something sinking in my stomach. “How long has this been going on?”“It’s what I wanted.” Her chin came up, def
Zuri “What are you doing?” I whispered, keeping my voice low enough that only he could hear.“You like it,” he whispered back. It wasn’t a question. It was a statement, spoken with absolute certainty. “And I bet you’re wet right now.”Damn.He was right.His hand kept moving, inching upward until it disappeared beneath the hem of my skirt. I parted my legs just a little, inviting him without thinking. His fingertips brushed the soft, sensitive skin high on my inner thigh, so close I could feel the damp heat radiating from my core. I was already soaked, my panties clinging uncomfortably to my swollen folds. When he hooked a finger under the thin fabric and pushed it aside, cool air kissed my exposed pussy. A tiny gasp escaped me before I could swallow it down.“You okay?” Audric glanced over when I made that small, strangled sound trying to disguise itself as a cough.“Fine.” My voice came out higher than usual. “Noodles. Hot.”Under the table, Ethan’s fingers found my slick c
ZuriI sat curled up on Ethan’s bed, knees drawn to my chest, still shaking even though the room had long since stopped spinning. The tears wouldn’t stop coming, quiet and steady, no matter how many times I wiped at my face.“I wanted to get you out of there.” Chris paced near the window, jaw tight, voice sharp with frustration he clearly hadn’t figured out where to aim yet. “But you were so stubborn, Zu. You wouldn’t listen to any of us.”“This isn’t the time for that.” Ethan’s voice cut in fast, harder than I’d heard him sound in a long time. “This is not the time to victim blame her, Chris. Chase is the one who did this. He’s the one we should be figuring out how to deal with.”“I’m going to kill that bastard.” Audric was standing near the door, arms crossed so tight his knuckles had gone white. “I mean it. I will actually kill him.”“You’re not exactly innocent in all this either.” Ethan turned on him. “You hurt her too, Audric. Maybe not the same way, but you did. So if you
Zuri The lock clicks into place behind me, and something in my chest clicks shut with it.The room tilts. I plant a hand on the wall to steady myself, but the wall doesn’t feel steady either, it feels like it’s breathing. Heat crawls up from my stomach and floods my skin until every inch of me feels raw, sunburned, wrong. I claw at the collar of my shirt just to get air against my throat.“I don’t know what’s happening to me.” My voice comes out thick, like it’s dragging through syrup. “I’m so hot. I can’t—the room won’t stop moving.”“That’s right.” Chase’s voice drops into something low and pleased with itself. He crosses the room slow, like he’s got all the time in the world now. “Finally.”I don’t understand him until his hands are on my waist.I shove him, hard, and the panic that rips through the fog in my head is the clearest thing I’ve felt in minutes. “Get off me.”His grip tightens instead of loosening. “Don’t fight it, Zuri. You should be grateful. Nobody else wants you.”
ZuriSomeone had dragged a low table into the middle of the living room and about a dozen of us ended up cross-legged around it, bottle spinning, red cups scattered everywhere. Mira sat pressed against my side, already three dares deep into the night and loving every second of it.Gabriela had wedged herself onto the arm of the couch next to Audric, one hand curled possessively around his bicep. Every time she tightened her grip he shifted, shoulder rolling just enough to shrug her off, eyes cutting toward me instead of her. She noticed. Anyone with eyes would have noticed. Her jaw got tighter every time he did it.The bottle spun and landed on me.“Truth or dare,” some guy across the circle called out.“Dare,” I said, mostly because Chase was watching me with that easy grin and I didn’t feel like giving anybody an honest answer tonight.“I dare you,” Chase said, leaning forward on his elbows, “to kiss me.”The circle erupted into hoots and catcalls. I glanced at Audric on instinct, a
ChrisMy hand closed around the cup in my fist until the plastic caved in completely, drink spilling over my knuckles. I barely noticed.What the fuck is Zuri doing letting him touch her like that? Chase had his arm around her waist, steering her up onto the little raised deck where everyone could see, and he raised his own cup like he was about to make an announcement.“Listen up, everyone.” His voice carried easily over the music. “My date for tonight — Zuri Sterling.”A ripple went through the crowd, half of them cheering, half of them exchanging looks like they couldn’t quite believe it.“Come on, babe.” He turned to her, holding out a cup. “Want a drink?”“She doesn’t drink,” Ethan cut in before Zuri could answer. “Don’t force her.”“I’m not forcing anybody.” Chase held his hands up, easy, unbothered. “It’s whatever she wants.” He looked at her. “You want a drink?”“I don’t mind,” Zuri said.“No.” The word was out of my mouth before I’d decided to say it. “She’s not dr
RheaI slide into Elora’s car and slumped against the seat, my whole body feeling like it had been wrung out and left to dry.“Okay, spill,” Elora said, pulling out of the parking lot. “You’ve been weird all day and I want to know why.”I stared out the window, watching the school disappear behind
BRANDONPractice was shit.I couldn’t focus worth a damn, kept missing passes that should’ve been automatic. Coach was riding my ass, Anthony kept running his fucking mouth, and all I could think about was this morning.That smile. That fucking smile she gave us when she walked out of the kitchen.
RHEAI stepped into the dining room, and the air hit me like a wall of ice.My body was screaming. Every step sent fresh waves of agony through my core. The soft fabric of my pajama pants brushed against my raw, swollen clit, and I had to clamp my jaw shut to keep from whimpering. I felt like I was
BRANDONBreaking Rhea is fun.Tying her up and watching her beg to be fucked while I smack her clit with my belt was the best fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Better than any high, better than any win on the field, better than anything I’d ever experienced.My cock has been hard as a rock for hours,
