“Please, don’t tell my brother…” I whispered.I felt him pause, and then he sighed. “I won’t tell him tonight, but I can’t keep this from him. I promise I won’t let him report it, but you should consider saying something to the school.”I nodded. I really just wanted to forget this ever happened, but my silence could end up allowing this to happen again. The best I could do is at least report it to the school and make them aware of the parties that went on right under their noses.Aiden shocked me further when he turned off the truck and carried me inside rather than putting me down once we got out. The front door was already opened as the last few partygoers trickled out and I buried my head in Aiden’s chest again so they wouldn’t recognize me.“Is that Rylee?” I heard Carter shout, but Aiden quickly shushed him, and I pretended to be asleep. “What happened, is she okay?” he asked quietly.“She’s fine, get away from her,” Aiden scolded.I heard Carter scuffle back and Aiden kept movi
I didn’t hear from Jake after that and blocked his number the second I remembered to make sure he never had the chance. If he was smart, he wouldn’t attempt to try and reach out to me or ever show his face before me at future games. I knew there was one more game before the winter break between San Marco and Jacksonville State, maybe that would be the one game I was ‘sick’ for.I had never missed a single day in high school before, whether it was classes or after-school activities, but I was more than willing to say to hell with all of that to avoid this man.Even though he didn’t go to our school, the past couple of weeks that led up to the next game I was practically guarded at all corners of campus. Everywhere I went, I spotted one or more of the guys, whereas before I had barely seen them in the halls or anywhere near my other classes.Aiden was also spending a lot more time with me, and I wasn’t sure if it was genuine, or out of guilt and protection. It was confusing me even more
“Well, with Leah here, the teams are uneven now,” Carter said, but Noah shook his head after counting everyone.“If we split into groups of 5, the teams will be even again.”We then split into two groups of 5 and I had no say over who went where. Noah seemed adamant about keeping me on his team, which meant Ryan joined their group with Leah and Carter, and I got the twins, Isabelle and Noah.“Oh yay, we’re on the same team,” Leah said and threw herself at Aiden.He smiled down at her and it tore at my heart. I don’t know what compelled me to speak after that. “I hope you can keep up.” I had meant for it to come off as a joke, but my tone was too serious.Aiden frowned but thankfully Leah brushed it off like it was nothing and turned her attention back to Aiden. We reset our boards and started our games, but I couldn’t help noticing how much of a distraction and poor player Leah was.I could tell it was taking everything in my brother not to freak out or scold her every time she rolled

Readers' discretion is advised.** ~*~ It was incredibly awkward going back inside the bowling alley to tell everyone that we were ready to go home. Avery was still pissed off from losing so many games in a row he hardly paid attention, so we rushed to get a cab before he clued in or before anyone else decided to leave with us. Isabelle gave me a secret thumbs up as I grabbed my jacket and walked casually out of the building with Aiden. It wasn’t until we were out of view by his truck that he swept me into his arms and kissed me. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he whispered against my lips. “What took you so long?” He smirked. “Your brother.” Oh, yes. That was still a factor we needed to consider, but I was too drunk on his touch and kisses to care at the moment. The cab showed up quickly and we hopped in, our lips locked until we got back to the frat house. We stumbled into t
Over the next week after that fateful night, Aiden and I did our best to keep our relationship a secret, but in the early stages of a relationship, it was impossible to stay away from each other. When we weren’t hanging out at the frat house or secretly hooking up in my dorm room, we were texting each other constantly. We had even gone as far as to share a few photos when one couldn’t handle not seeing the other. This was something I had never done before but the thrill of it was exciting, and I trusted Aiden enough to feel comfortable with the idea. Besides, having hot as fuck photos like that to look back on was mouthwatering and a great mood booster. That didn’t take away the anxiety of knowing someone could get a hold of them, or I could accidentally send one to my brother instead of Aiden, the terrible possibilities are endless. But the responses I got in return were more than worth it. Never had I felt more attractive and wanted before, and it wasn’t just physical. Aiden had a
“Aiden, what the fuck? Stop, man!” Avery and Carter rushed out and tried to pull the two away from each other, but Aiden was too far gone. He cut free of Avery’s grasp and went at Noah once more, another swift right-hand hook to the jaw. I rushed up and grabbed his arm. “What are you doing?” I asked in a low voice. “I could ask you the same thing?” he growled and turned back to Noah. “Who the fuck do you think you’re trying to lock lips with? What the hell is wrong with you, you of all people?” “I-I’m sorry, man,” he muttered through a busted lip, his eye had already started to shut and turn purple. But it was too late, and my brother had already heard what Aiden said. “Wait…you tried to kiss my sister?” It was Avery’s turn to lose control, but at this point, a few other partygoers had shown up to the scene and broke up the fight. “Everyone, please, stop!” I screamed and stood in the middle of everyone. “Avery, Aiden, go the fuck upstairs.” I turned to Noah and narrowed my eyes,
After the talk with my brother, I returned to Aiden’s room. “So, my brother found out about Jake and the party,” I said and tossed myself on the bed. His eyes went wide. “I swear to God, I didn’t say a word.” “No, I know. But you’ll be happy to know he has been suspended for the rest of the semester, you won’t have to worry about him on the field for now, at least.” He grinned. “That also means I don’t have to worry about him ever coming near you again.” He crawled on top of me and pinned my wrists to the bed above my head. “I’ve been waiting all night to do this.” The kiss started slow but quickly heated up when he slipped his tongue into my mouth, and it became a battle of the spit. His hands slid under my shirt and teased the hem of my bra before it was ripped over my head, my pants followed not long after. His expert hands explored every inch of my body and lit every particle of skin ablaze until I was a sweaty hot mess against the sheets. I was panting like a dog and writhi
“There is no use denying it, we’ve been watching the both of you for a while now,” Kendra smirked. “Yeah, and it’s obvious you guys have been secretly hooking up for weeks now.” I scoffed. “Okay, it hasn’t been for weeks.” They gasped. ‘Oh, shit.’ “So, you guys are dating?” they asked. There was no point in denying it after my blunder, so I spilled the beans after I made them promise they wouldn’t breathe a word to anyone, ever. If word got to my brother, it would be the death of us both. “Wow, that is ultra adorable,” Kendra squealed. “Yeah, you guys are living out a fairytale,” Kinsley added. I rolled my eyes but felt my cheeks blush. “Whatever, now that you know you can never repeat anything spoken in this room. I’ll be killed if Avery finds out.” “Or if Leah Palmer does.” I frowned. “Is she still going after Aiden? Were they ever actually dating?” “Wouldn’t you know?” Kinsley asked. I was too afraid of that answer, so I avoided asking him. “Regardless, nothing is hap
