STay Chapter 54: Cassidy
##Chapter 54: CassidyBook Two: Don't LeaveWhat I know about Jackie and Cole is that they were best friends growing up before deciding to deepen their relationship. They dated in high school and were still together when they both left for college last fall. Sometime during the course of their freshman year, they broke up.From the little Cole and Sammy have mentioned, I have my suspicions as to what might have happened.Needing confirmation, I ask, "If you'd loved him so much, why did you cheat?"If my blunt question surprises her, it doesn't show in her expression. Her gaze shifts to the surrounding darkness as a cold wind whips through the trees. I tighten my arms around myself as the leafless branches above us shake.Just when I begin to wonder if she'll give me an answer, she draws in a breath before steadily forcing it out again until she looks like she's deflating before my eyes. Whatever thoughts are swirling around in her head must weigh heavily, because her entire body s
STay Chapter 55: Cassidy
##Chapter 55: CassidyBook Two: Don't LeaveThe last thing I want to do is head back inside the party, with all its noise, music, and press of bodies, but I have to find Cole. I need to reassure myself that he's still mine. Jackie might have returned, but she's part of his past.I have no idea how long I stood outside, talking with Jackie. I also don't know how long it took to get the anxiety attempting to claw at me under control again. When I'd walked away from Cole, I told him I was going to the bathroom and then never returned. As I head inside, I pull my phone from the pocket of my blue scrubs. My heart rate settles as I realize I've missed two calls and three texts from him.I hit redial and press the phone to my ear. After four rings, it goes straight to voicemail. Given the noise level, that's not a total surprise. I shoot him a quick message to let him know I'm looking for him, and set my ringer on vibrate so I don't miss another call or text.It takes time to push my
STay Chapter 56: Cole
##Chapter 56: ColeBook Two: Don't LeaveExactly how long does it take for two girls to use the bathroom?It's been at least twenty minutes since Cassidy and Brooklyn took off. During that time, at least a hundred more people have piled their way through the front door of the house. This party was already jam-packed when we arrived.I'm torn between staying here where she left me or heading toward the bathroom to see if they're caught up in a line. I contemplate my options for a couple of seconds before heading down the hallway. Long blonde hair catches the corner of my eye and my head swivels in that direction before landing on Brooklyn.Relief rushes through me. She's standing with a tall, buff dude. I recognize him from around campus, but have no idea who he is. It takes a moment to realize that Cassidy isn't with them."Brooklyn," I shout.It's no surprise that she doesn't hear me with the blaring music and insane amount of people. I continue to shove my way toward her befo
STay Chapter 57: Luke
##Chapter 57: LukeBook One: Don't Leave"What if they get back together?" she asks. "Cole and I haven't been together for that long. And they have this long history. They didn't just go out, they were friends. Best friends." She worries the napkin between her fingers.I don't think she realizes that she's shredding the paper into tiny pieces."We're talking childhood friends," she adds as if I haven't grasped the gravity of the situation.Instead of taking her back to the dorms, we're sitting at a diner located a few streets over from campus. Cassidy just described how she was ambushed by Cole Mathews' ex-girlfriend. The very same one who now attends Western. Apparently, they were an item for two years before she screwed around on him and got knocked up.What a mess.Unfortunately, Cassidy is caught smack in the middle of all this crazy drama. I'm well aware that she loves him. Hell, she's been more than upfront about her feelings with me. Obviously, this new development is
STay Chapter 58: Cassidy
##Chapter 58: CassidyBook Two: Don't LeaveI'm about to climb into bed when there's a knock on my dorm room door.I nearly jump out of my skin before a deep voice says from the other side, "Cassidy? Are you in there?"That's all it takes for me to fly to the door and yank it open. "Cole!"Before he can open his mouth, I hurtle myself into his outstretched arms. After everything that happened tonight at the party, I just want to burrow against his chest and stay there forever. I don't want him to ever let me go. We hold each other for a handful of silent moments before he pulls away just enough to search my eyes in the darkness."What happened to you? Where did you disappear to?" He barely sucks in a breath before rapid-firing another question at me. "Do you have any idea how worried I was when I couldn't find you?" The relief of moments ago gives way to anger. It brims in his whiskey-colored eyes. "I looked everywhere. And Brooklyn didn't know what happened to you, either.
STay Chapter 59: Cassidy
##Chapter: 59Book Two: Don't LeaveMy eyelids feather closed as I arch into his warm palm, wanting to feel his fingers slide inside me. I need him to relieve the throbbing pressure building deep within me. When he doesn't make a move, I arch, pushing against him."Say it, Cassidy.""Only you," I whimper. "You're the only one who gets to fuck me."As soon as the words escape, he slides two thick digits inside, stroking my wet heat until I'm mindless with the need he has stoked to life within me.He swirls his finger across my slit before murmuring, "Your pussy belongs to me.""Yes," I moan. At this point, I would agree to just about anything, and he knows it. My hips gyrate against him, seeking release.His fingers still as he leans down and presses a kiss against my mouth. "Oh no, you don't. Not like this. When you come, I want to feel you pulsing and throbbing around me."I groan when he drags his fingers from me.A devilish smile spreads across his handsome face, making him
STay Chapter 60: Cassidy
##Chapter 60: CassidyBook Two: Don't LeaveOnce we've both spent ourselves, all that can be heard in my darkened room is the sound of our ragged breathing. He lowers his face to the delicate hollow of my neck so that his warm breath can feather across my skin. His heart pounds, racing against mine.I press a tender kiss against the side of his face before he rolls away and grabs a Kleenex off the table beside my bed. He slides the condom off his softening length, wrapping it up, and disposing of it in the trash can by my desk. And then he's back, settling against me on the twin bed. His bigger body takes up most of the space as I drape myself across him, sifting my fingers through the dark sprinkle of hair smattered across his chest.Have I felt this kind of contentment?It's not a question that needs answering.His fingers comb rhythmically through my hair.After a handful of quiet moment, he says, "I was really worried when I couldn't find you. I hate that you left the party w
STay Chapter 61: Cassidy
##Chapter 61: CassidyBook Two: Don't LeaveI gulp down a fresh burst of nerves. "Is it too late to cancel?"Cole squeezes my hand as his gaze darts to mine in the close confines of his Mustang.His eyes fill with humor. "You don't have anything to worry about. They're going to love you." He gives me another squeeze as if that alone is enough to reassure me.It's not."I promise," he adds.I nibble my lower lip before blurting, "And what if they don't?"At the moment, all I can imagine is his mom and stepdad hating me. Jackie's admittance about having lunch with Cole's mother snakes its way through my head before nesting in a place that makes it is impossible to evict it from. She's probably hoping her son will get back together with his high school girlfriend.Are Jackie and his mother still close?The question gnaws away at me.Unaware of the dark thoughts swirling through my head, Cole says, "Then I'll probably end up dumping you."My wide gaze swings to his. A smile simmers
