CHAPTER THREE

A game of Truth or Dare was the beginning of it all.

The lights were dim. A Bluetooth speaker in the corner pulsed music. In the basement of the dorm house, bodies were spread out on mismatched couches and beanbags. Half-empty bottles, crimson solo cups, and the unpleasant odour of marijuana permeated the air.

This isn't where I should be. The invite list didn't even include me. However, Lila, my flatmate, pulled me in as if it were a rite of passage.

"Just one night of college fun, Amelie," she replied.

"Then you can go back to being a virgin in peace.”

I knew she meant it, even though she said it in jokes.

I therefore knew what would happen when the bottle whirled and fell on me.

Lila smiled slyly. "Dare."

The room gave a collective hoot.

I took a deep breath. "All right. Dare.

It was a sword of a voice. "I dare you to seduce Jace Kingston."

The whole room became silent.

Dark-haired, sharp-jawed, muscular in a hoodie, with a cigarette between his fingers, Jace sat on the leather couch at the far end of the room, and eyes shot towards it. On campus, the most coveted and dreaded senior. The women flocked to him. The professors ignored it. Additionally, there were rumours that he had previously been expelled for a violent incident that was hidden up.

He caught my eye as he looked up, bored.

Then he grinned.

I felt sick to my stomach.

His voice was rough as he said, "You scared, little freshman?"

The laughter from everyone in the room provoked me.

"No backing out," Lila's arrogant warning said.

With my heart pounding, I stood. "All right."

He cocked his head.

"Come on over here.”

---

I approached gently. My pride was hotter than my weak knees. He patted the space between them and spread his legs a little.

"Take a seat." I blushed, but I did as I was told. Even though his hands hadn't touched me yet, his very presence was enough to make my nerves tingle.

He leaned closer and said as his breath touched my neck.

"Are you certain you're prepared to participate in this game?"

I didn't respond. I simply nodded.

"Good," he said.

Then, unexpectedly, his hand moved under my skirts and up my thigh, stopping just short of my sensitive spot.

I let out a gasp.

There was a shout throughout the room.

He said, "You have until the end of the party to make me finish."

"But if you don't succeed...

I took a swallow.

"What if I don't succeed?"

He smiled.

"Then it's my turn to challenge you.”

    Chapter Two The murmur of the gala was swallowed by the lift doors as they closed behind Ivy. With her heart pounding in her chest, she leaned back on the mirror wall. Luca Moretti, the guy who had made her fail to remember how to take breaths, how to think, and how to be anything other than living for one dangerous hour, was still in that exclusive room, somewhere a few stories below. The lift made a gentle chime. Rooftop access - The Penthouse Lounge..She hadn't intended to visit. All she needed was some air and room to think. But when the doors clicked open, the outside world was a painting, with the desert beyond shimmering like molten glass and gold lights extending into eternity. With its slick marble and glass fireplaces, the ballroom below was louder than the rooftop bar. A few patrons whispered by the railing, the desert breeze stealing their laughs. She viewed the skyline while hiding in an empty corner. The wide, restless Vegas sparkled. Not a single object

    Chapter One The city lit up; it didn't sleep. Silver lights rippled across the desert night as Las Vegas spread out like a sparkling creation from the top level of the Aurelia Hotel. Inside the ballroom, the most wild souls in the world came together to play jazz, champagne poured like gold, and laughs erupted like flames.This was not the place for Ivy Bennett. At least that was what she convinced herself each time she saw her image in the mirrored pillars: a weary corporate lawyer wearing an overly tight silk dress and excessively high heels. The only reason she agreed to go to this dinner was because her boss suggested it was "good for the sight." She had flown in for a meeting that morning. She had intended to remain for an hour. That was three champagne glasses ago. She made an effort to fit in with the sharp suits and glittering jewels, but her steel grey, inquisitive eyes were too obvious. Restless, they moved about the room, lured to the laughing coming from the priv

    Chapter Three Then, at last, at last, his lips found mine. Not kind. Not careful. But ravenous, domineering, devouring. Everything was taken away by the kiss: my thoughts, the ground beneath my feet, and my breath. His other hand squeezed hard against my waist, locking me within him and the wall, while his gloved hand held my jaw, turning me precisely where he wanted me. My body arched to meet his as I melted and gasped into him. The awkward way the mask squeezed between us somehow increased the heat, serving as a reminder that I didn't know his name or face, just the overwhelming fire of his mouth consuming mine.I was shaking, my lips were swollen, and my breath was ragged when he finally withdrew. His eyes pierced me from behind the mask. "I have you now." And I was unaware of it, thank God. Once more, the curtain pulled shut behind us, enclosing us in a dark cocoon of muffled music and flickering shadows. Behind their disguises, individuals were laughing and dancin

    I promised myself that I would never return. His voice curling over my ear, the heaviness of his gaze forcing me into surrender without a single touch, I relived the mask party in my mind all week. I ought to have been frightened. I ought to have torn the mask to pieces and set it on fire. Instead, though, I found myself using my fingers to trace its edges at night while visualising his gloved hand. By Friday, I was experiencing a fever-like pain. And I didn't even think twice when another envelope showed up in my mailbox on Saturday. It had a wax seal that glinted in the afternoon sun, but no explanation or return address.I was met by the Crimson Manor. I dressed purposefully this time. My hair was swept up to showcase my neck line, and I was wearing a black silk gown with a slit high enough to see the curve of my thigh. Even though my mask was exactly that as before, it felt heavier in some way, as though it had absorbed all of the secrets I had brought home from that e

  • TALES OF INSTANT LUST - SHORT READS    CHAPTER FORTY FIVE: THE MASK PARTY

    It never occurred to me that one envelope could alter the direction of an evening. It was sleek and stark, sealed with black silicone that glinted in the light as it sat on my dresser. No address for return. No justification. I didn't recognise the meticulous, looping calligraphy that just included my name. I initially thought it was an error, that an invitation had fallen into the incorrect mailbox. However, my breath caught when I opened the thick paper and broke the seal. “You have been invited to a private masquerade party. At 9 p.m. on Saturday night. The Manor of Crimson. Put on black. Put on your mask. Get rid of your limitations.”That was all. No signature, no specifics. That enticing promise alone. I was unable to stop thinking about it for three nights. Masquerade. There was a sense of mystery and eroticism in the term itself. I imagined sparkling chandeliers, Venetian masks, and strangers touching without really knowing who they were touching. I made

    Chapter OneDesperation feels heavier than I ever imagined. Every time I looked at my bank balance, it felt like a stone pressing against my ribs in my chest. Rent is past due. The tuition is past due. Even my meagre part-time job at the bookshop wasn't enough to support me while I was in school. I initially laughed when Nadia murmured, "I know someone who can resolve everything for you, if you're brave enough," while leaning across our sticky diner table. But I paused at the serious, even respectful tone with which she spoke. "Resolve everything?" As I stirred the diluted cup of coffee in front of me, I asked.She had a cunning, covert smile. "He's wealthy. Extremely wealthy. He also enjoys making arrangements. My whole body turned over. "What plans?" She dismissed it, saying, "Until you meet him, you won't understand." "But believe me, you'll pay attention to what he has to offer if you're hoping for your life to change." I ought to have left. I should have infor
