The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 18: The Ice in the Room
When I got to my dorm, I went straight to my bed to lay down.thoughts ran through my mind.“How did I let this happen?”Yeah ….I just had sex with my best friend's brother.And I know she's not gonna take this lightly with me. She had warned me never to get involved with her brother. She always says she loses friendships over him. That anyone who gets in his way ends up out of her life...And I don't want to lose her. I can’t because she's been the very best girl I've ever had …the real one, actually I've never really had friends cause I've always been the new girl… My dad was a surgeon before he died, and his job moved us around constantly. Different countries. Different cities. Different schools. Just when I started getting comfortable somewhere, we packed up againAfter his death, my mom and I moved one last time.She promised this would be the final move….and it's been two years now That's when i met Liya Wilson From the first day, we connected and became inseparable like soul
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 17: Pinned and Silent
The brass door handle violently twisted back and forth from the outside hallway.I froze instantly on the hard black lab table. My heart leaped directly into my throat, beating so hard it felt like it would burst through my skin. My hand shot up automatically, my fingers clamping tightly over my own mouth to stop a breathless gasp from escaping.Leo did not move an inch. He stayed perfectly still inside my personal space, his massive frame pinning me down against the flat surface. His lower body was still locked tightly between my thighs, keeping us completely fused together in the dark gap between the counters. His broad chest was heaving hard, pressing heavily against my breasts with every ragged, uneven breath he took. His face was just inches from mine, his dark eyes wide and completely pitch-black as they bored straight into my pupils, commanding absolute, total silence."Arthur?" the loud, gruff voice barked again through the thick wood of the door. "Are you in there? I know I h
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 16: Lab Room Heat
The clock on the wall of the basement biology lab hummed quietly, the hands slowly ticking past 5:30 PM. The rest of the class had left over an hour ago, leaving me completely alone in the cold, sterile room. The air smelled sharply of rubbing alcohol and old chemical cleaners. I kept my head down, staring into the bright lens of the microscope, trying with everything I had to focus on drawing the plant cell structures into my spiral notebook. My mind was still spinning from Jax's warnings in the hallway earlier, making my hands shake every time I tried to line up the pencil.The sudden, heavy sound of wood sliding against metal cut through the silence of the room.My head snapped up instantly, my eyes darting toward the main entrance. The heavy wooden door had just closed, and the brass thumb-turn lock was twisted completely horizontal from the inside."Who's there?" I called out, my voice tight and thin as I stood up from my high metal stool. "The lab is closed to the public right n
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 15: The Warning in the Shadow
"Thanks again, Mason," I said quickly, my fingers tightening over the heavy stack of textbooks as I shuffled backward toward the glass entrance of the science hall. My heart was pounding against my ribs like an escaped prisoner, my mind still totally stuck on the sight of Leo crushing that soda can at the top of the stairs. "I can take them from here. Really. You should get to practice."Mason let his hand drop from my elbow, though his left-cheek dimple showed as he offered a warm smile. "Are you sure, Ivy? I can carry them right up to your classroom door. It's no trouble at all.""No, no, I'm totally fine," I insisted, my voice sounding a little too breathless, a little too frantic. I gave him a quick, tight nod, desperately trying to look natural. "You've already done way too much. I'll see you around, Mason.""Alright. Just remember what I said about Maria," Mason called out, taking a step back toward the quad. "If she steps out of line again, you tell me immediately. Don't handle
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 14: The Hand on the Books
"Watch where you're going, freshman!"The sharp, mocking voice hit me at the exact same moment a heavy shoulder slammed violently into mine. The impact sent a painful shock straight down my arm, completely breaking my grip on the massive stack of library textbooks I was hauling across the green campus quad.The heavy volumes flew out of my arms, crashing loudly onto the damp grass and concrete path. Pages bent, heavy covers split open, and papers scattered in every direction under the bright morning sun."Oh, look at that. The little mouse dropped her cheese," Gloria jeered, stopping right in front of me with her hands on her hips. Meg stood right next to her, crossing her arms and letting out a loud, ugly laugh."You guys did that on purpose," I said, my voice shaking with a mix of fury and embarrassment as the students sitting on the nearby benches turned their heads, starting to whisper and snicker."Prove it," Meg sneered, deliberately stepping forward so her designer sneaker crus
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 13: The Boiler Room Friction
"I’m not doing this anymore," I whispered to myself, my hand trembling as I reached for the heavy iron handle of the basement door.The clock on my phone screen lit up. 4:02 PM. I was two minutes late, and my chest felt like it was being crushed under a pile of bricks. I had left Liya back at the courtyard table with a terrible excuse about needing to run a quick errand at the student union building. The guilt was eating me alive, twisting my stomach into tight knots.I pulled the heavy door open.The air inside hit me like a physical wall. It was thick, boiling hot, and suffocatingly heavy with the sharp smell of old rust, hot steam, and dry, choking dust. The deep hum of the massive water tanks vibrated right through the concrete floor, shaking the soles of my sneakers. I took one step down the iron stairs, my fingers gripping the rusty handrail.Slam.The door snapped shut behind me, the heavy latch clicking into place with a loud, metallic echo.Before I could even blink, a massiv
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 8: Breathing through the Wood
My hand shot up, slapping firmly over my own mouth. I clamped my fingers across my lips so hard the skin pinched, desperately suffocating the heavy, ragged gasp trying to burst out of my lungs.Maria was right there. Right on the other side of the thin wooden door.Leo didn't drop me. He didn't pul
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 7: Closet Confessions
The darkness was absolute, smelling of pine cleaner, bleach, and the unmistakable, heavy scent of winter air and tobacco. My back hit the hard wood of the door, the impact sending a jolt up my spine. Before I could scream, a heavy palm clamped down over my mouth, cutting off my air."Shut up, Ivy.
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 6: Pulled from the Hallway
I violently jerked my head back, stepping away from Mason so fast his fingers dropped into thin air. "I have to go," I blurted out, my voice high and entirely frantic.Mason blinked, his hand still hovering where my face had just been. "Ivy? Wait, what about lunch? Are you okay?""I can't. I forgot
The Line I Shouldn't Cross Chapter 5: The Wrong Set of Hands
I pulled the heavy black hoodie over my head, letting the thick cotton swallow my soaked shirt. The scent of winter air and tobacco instantly wrapped around me, a warm shock to my shivering skin. I yanked the collar up high, checking the locker mirror to make sure the dark bruise on my neck was com
