登入SADIE. “Sadie, is that Reed’s jersey?” Mom’s voice hit the kitchen before I even reached the table. I had told myself I grabbed it from the dryer by accident. That was a lie I had been practicing since I pulled the heavy mesh over my head in my room and felt the hem hit mid-thigh. “It was in the clean pile,” I said. “I thought it was a sleep shirt.” Mom laughed and flipped a pancake. “You thought a size large hockey jersey with a twelve on the back was yours. Okay.” Reed, my stepbrother did not laugh. He sat at the end of the table in a white T-shirt and sweats, hair still wet from a morning shower, fork paused over his plate. His eyes went to the number on my chest first. Then to where the jersey hung off one shoulder. Then to my bare legs. I sat down across from him because the other chair would have put me next to Mom, and I was not ready for her to see my face. The jersey smelled like his detergent and the faint leftover of his skin. I had slept in it two nights last week
The Anderson house hit me with music and voices the second I opened the door. I walked in first like he told me to. My dress hid the worst of it. My panties did not. Every step smeared what he had left inside me down the inside of my thigh, warm and slick, and I had to keep my face still while Lila spotted me from the kitchen. “There you are. You look wrecked. Did the ride take forever?” “Just tired,” I said. Her eyes went straight to my wrist. “Where is your corsage?” The lie sat on my tongue exactly the way I had practiced it against the leather. “It kept falling off. The pin would not stay. We put it on the dash so it would not get crushed.” Lila made a face, then laughed because she has trusted me since we were twelve. That trust sat in my stomach like a stone. “Dad is parking the limo. He said three minutes.” I took the cup she pushed into my hand and did not drink it. I counted the time in my head. I felt him leaking out of me while she told me about some boy from che
“Take them off,” he said again. “Now.”My fingers found the pin. The little white roses came free from my wrist and left a faint red mark where the stem had sat all night. He took them from me before I could set them down and placed them on the dash like he was arranging something he planned to look at later.“Good girl.”The words hit lower than they should have. I had heard him say that to Lila about homework. Hearing it here, with my dress still on and the school lot glowing through the tint, made my stomach pull tight.“Mr. Langston.”“Cole when my hand is under your dress. You can go back to the other one when we walk inside.”I swallowed. “Cole.”He reached for the side zipper. The sound was loud in the quiet car. Cool air touched my ribs, then my stomach, then the lace of the panties I had already ruined in the bathroom stall. He did not yank the dress off. He peeled it down to my waist and left it bunched there so the fabric framed my tits and the wet spot between my legs.“Lo

“You already signed the form?” Lila asked from the kitchen.I stood in their hallway with my shoes in my hand and heard every word.“I signed it this morning,” Mr. Langston said. “No other parent needs to drive you girls around at midnight. I rented the limo myself.”Lila laughed like it was a favor. I pressed my thighs together because it did not feel like a favor. It felt like he had been waiting for a reason to get me in a closed car with no one watching.I had been in this house too many times. I knew the sound of his keys on the counter. I knew how his voice dropped when Lila left the room. I knew I should have stopped coming over after the night I saw him in the doorway of the guest bathroom with his shirt off and his eyes on my mouth.I did not stop.Lila called me into the kitchen. Mr. Langston looked up from his phone. He had on a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled. His eyes went to my legs first, then my face, like he was checking whether I had noticed.“Aria,” he said. “You
ELARA.“That will be her. Not yet. We still have hours.”Kael stayed buried inside me on the dusty floorboards. Two others knelt by my head. The hatch stayed locked. The attic bulb hummed. Outside the small window the sky was still black.The moon rose while they used me.I felt it the second it cleared the trees. Heat tore through my belly like someone had lit a fuse. My pussy clenched so hard around Kael that he cursed and had to grip my hips to keep from finishing too soon. I was dripping down the crack of my ass, onto the blanket, onto the wood. I could not close my legs. I did not try.“There it is,” an enforcer said. “First moon. She is soaking the floor.”Kael pulled out only long enough to flip me onto my hands and knees. He pushed back in from behind and the new angle made me cry out. A cousin slid under me, mouth on my clit, licking while Kael fucked me. Another put his cock on my tongue. I sucked because my body had stopped taking votes.They stopped taking turns.Three of
