FAZER LOGINZuriI pressed my legs together the second Chris's words landed, panic spiking fast underneath the want still humming through me from a minute ago."Zu?" Ethan noticed immediately, pausing where he'd started pushing my shirt up, fingers stilling against my ribs. "You okay?""Yeah." My voice came out too fast. "I'm fine."He didn't look fully convinced, but he kept going anyway, mouth trailing down my stomach, lower, and I felt the exact moment his lips brushed against the inside of my thigh, right where Audric had left evidence of himself. His cum was still fresh inside of me. I hadn't even had time to wash up."Stop." The word tore out of me before I could stop it, sharper than I meant.Ethan lifted his head immediately. "Why? You don't want this?""I do, I just—" I stopped, throat closing around the rest of that sentence.I couldn't tell him. I couldn't say Audric had just fucked me against his car twenty minutes ago, couldn't explain the mess still drying on my skin, because if I t
ZuriMaya was sitting up in bed when I finally slipped back into the room, laptop glowing on her lap, though the guilty way she snapped it shut the second I walked in told me she hadn't actually been doing homework."There you are." She set the laptop aside, relief written all over her face. "You were gone forever, I was starting to get worried.""Sorry." I grabbed my phone off the nightstand, still catching my breath from everything that had just happened outside. "I lost track of time.""Doing what, exactly?" Her eyebrows lifted, clearly clocking something in my expression I wasn't ready to explain."Nothing." I busied myself dialing home instead of answering that. "Just needed some air."The call connected on the second ring, my mum's voice warm and familiar on the other end, Jackson and Brandon's voices audible somewhere in the background already bickering about whether they'd packed the right shoes. We ran through logistics quickly, what time they'd be leaving in the morning, how
ZuriI remembered halfway through getting ready for bed that I hadn't called my parents yet, and with them arriving tomorrow for the anniversary, I wanted to confirm what time they'd actually be pulling in. My phone was still sitting in the console of Audric's car, exactly where I'd left it after the drive up.The house was quiet, everyone else long since settled into their rooms, and I padded down the stairs and out the front door in an oversized t-shirt and shorts, the night air cool against my skin.I didn't expect to find him standing there.Audric leaned against the side of his car, arms crossed, staring out at nothing in particular."Couldn't sleep?" His voice carried easy across the driveway."I left my phone in your car. Need to call my parents before tomorrow." I kept my voice flat, crossing toward the passenger door without looking at him directly."They still driving up in the morning?""Yeah." I found my phone in the console and straightened."Must be nice." His v
ZuriDinner was set up in the formal dining room, long table draped in white linen, candles already lit down the center even though the sun hadn't fully set outside. I'd changed into the one nice dress I'd packed, and Maya had done the same, both of us hovering slightly awkwardly near the doorway until Diane waved us toward our seats like we'd done this a hundred times before, which, for me at least, we basically had.Mr. Cole took his place at the head of the table, tie loosened from earlier, sleeves rolled up in a way that made him look far less intimidating than his booming voice suggested he'd be."Zuri." He pointed his fork at me the second everyone settled. "Last time you were here you were still deciding on a major. Where'd you land?""Communications, actually." I passed the bread basket down the table. "With a minor in business.""Smart girl." He nodded, satisfied, before his attention shifted down the table toward Gabriela, who sat stiff-backed beside Audric, clearly still re
ZuriThe house came into view at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway, the kind of place that looked like it belonged in a magazine rather than actual real life, white columns out front, ivy climbing one whole side of the brick. My stomach flipped as Audric pulled the car around the circular drive, and before we'd even fully stopped, the front door swung open and a woman came down the steps with her arms already spread wide."There they are!" Mrs. Cole's voice carried warm and bright across the yard. "My boys."Ethan was out of the car first, catching his mother in a proper hug that lifted her slightly off her feet, and Chris followed right behind, kissing her cheek. Even Audric, still visibly tense from the argument back at school, softened the second his mother's hands landed on his face."Zuri!" Diane's face lit up the moment she spotted me climbing out of the car, and she pulled me into a hug before I'd even fully straightened, warm and familiar, the kind reserved for someone sh
ZuriMaya and I were already outside by the time I heard the shouting start.We'd been standing by the cars for a good ten minutes, bags loaded, waiting on the guys to finish whatever last-minute packing was taking them so long, when Audric's voice carried out from somewhere near the garage, sharp and clipped in a way that made both Maya and I go quiet."We can't leave yet." His voice climbed as he came around the corner, phone still in one hand. "I'm waiting on someone.""We told you already." Ethan followed a step behind him, jaw set. "She's not coming.""Why the hell not?""Because this is a family thing, Audric." Chris came out last, arms crossed, clearly done having this argument for what sounded like the third time. "Not a place to bring whoever you're currently trying to impress."That's when Gabriela appeared, stepping out of a car that had just pulled up along the curb, sunglasses pushed up into her hair, dressed like she'd already decided she was going regardless of w
Rhea“Good.” Brandon’s hands slid down my arms, guiding them behind the chair. “Because you’ve earned it, baby. Choosing him this morning. Walking around with his hands on you all day. Lying to us about Camilla.”He picked up a rope from a table. The rope was soft against my wrists as he worked eff
RHEAI stood in front of my closet, staring at rows of clothes that suddenly seemed impossible to navigate. Every movement sent sharp reminders through my body of what had happened last night.My thighs ached. My back stung where the bark had scraped it raw. And between my legs—God, between my legs
RheaAll the air punched out of my lungs in a ragged, guttural scream as Brandon bottomed out inside me. My forehead slammed against the rough bark of the pine tree, the friction of the wood scraping my skin, but I barely felt it over the sheer, agonizing stretch of him.“Ooh no... I’m hot...” It w
RHEAI almost died today.A stupid virgin who’d never broadened her horizons. Who’d never tasted anything real or dangerous or worth remembering.The thought had been circling my mind since the hospital, growing teeth with every pass. Life was fragile. Breakable. And I’d been wasting mine playing i
