The boy next Door Chapter 24: Alyssa
Just because I can be assertive and know what I want, doesn't mean that I don't enjoy submitting and made to feel as if I've been rendered powerless. To have my senses eclipsed by physical strength wielded in a manner that isn't an attack but one that makes me feel emboldened by my own sexuality. It's nothing more than an illusion. A trick of the imagination. It requires a man to walk a fine line and Colton knows exactly how to do it.And that, like everything else he does, is a turn-on.As much as I hate to admit it, there were too many nights since our breakup when I laid awake in my bed, unable to find sleep, as thoughts of him swirled unbidden through my head. The way he touched me. Stroking my flesh to life. Sliding deep inside my heat until there was no choice but to shudder with orgasm. Inevitably, my fingers would slip beneath the elastic band of my panties before stroking my lower lips and circling my clit until I was gasping out his name.Every time I caved to the tem

A groan escapes as I roll onto my side. The motion has my head throbbing to life behind my eyelids.Correction-my entire body throbs to life.What the hell went down last night?It takes a moment to jumpstart my brain.Ah, that's right...welcome home party at Bang Bang. That much, I remember. And shots. My God, the shots. What the hell had I been thinking?Apparently, I hadn't been.I crack open an eye and glance around.Thankfully, I'm in my own bedroom. That's a relief. I remember getting flirty with one of the bartenders. And dancing. The music had been on point. One amazing song after another.And wait a minute...My brow furrows.Colton. The party crasher. He'd put the kibosh on any possible fun with the hunky bartender, which had been annoying. If only I could have ignored his presence, but that's never been an option. Even though I'd spent the night dancing, I had been acutely aware of his brooding presence at the bar. From the corner of my eye, I watched him star
The boy next Door Chapter 26: Colton
The apartment door closes behind me with an audible click as I hitch my backpack onto my shoulder. As I turn, ready to head to campus for the next couple of hours, my gaze collides with Alyssa's as she steps into the hallway as well.For a moment, time stands still and we both freeze in place. Memories from Saturday night burst through my brain at lightning speed.Alyssa in my arms, backed up against my BMW as my mouth feasted on hers. Her long legs had been splayed wide as I pushed her relentlessly toward orgasm in the parking lot of Bang Bang.It had all happened so damned fast. One minute, she's raging at me and the next, my hands are on her with our mouths fused together. The energy we always generate exploded upon impact. Whatever this is between us, it's so much more than sexual chemistry. If that's all it were, it would be easy to relegate her to the past and move on with my life. She would be like all the other girls I've slept with and forgotten about. With Alyssa, it
The boy next Door Chapter 27: Alyssa
Hands down, this has been the week from hell.Not one damn thing has gone right for me.All right, perhaps that's a slight exaggeration.Classes were good. Most of them are dance which makes the day pass by in the blink of an eye. And I was able to secure my old job at a small studio in town teaching a few classes to four and five-year olds. Yeah, they're squirrelly and have way too much energy, but they're adorable as hell and make me laugh. And I need the cash. Unlike Mia, my parents don't have a fat portfolio filled with stocks and bonds. They do just fine, but it helps them out if I have my own spending money.So...if everything is going just fine why aren't I able to shake the feelings of irritability and discontent? It's almost as if something is brewing inside me and I have no clue what it is. And that makes me nervous.Jack has Facetimed a handful of times since my return, but our relationship doesn't feel the same. It's almost as if I was able to blot everything out w
The boy next Door Chapter 28: Alyssa
Yup. I'm already berating myself for my stupidity but there's nothing to be done about it now. I walked right into the lion's den, thinking I would come away unscathed. That won't happen.Barely do I get a chance to suck in a breath before his mouth crashes onto mine. With one sweep of his velvety softness against my lips, I'm opening until he's able to plunge inside. Our tongues tangle and its enough to wipe away the knowledge that this is a disastrous idea. My palms go to his chest. Instead of pushing him away, my fingers curl into his shirt, attempting to drag him closer. A growl rumbles up from deep in his chest.Our lips fasten together, teeth scraping against one another, as our tongues continue to tangle. All of the protests inside my head go silent as a barrage of sensation floods through me. As much as I try to convince myself that Colton is no different from any of the other guys I've been with, I realize deep down inside this is a lie. Colton is unlike anyone else
The boy next Door Chapter 29: Colton
I check my phone for the umpteenth time for any missed messages.Unfortunately, it's just as I suspected.Nada.I reached out and texted Alyssa a few times, but it's been stereo silence from her end which isn't a total surprise. Nothing I do seems to make a difference or help to turn over a new leaf. If anything, my actions have only pushed her further away. At this point, I have no idea how to bridge the gap between us.It's been more than a week since she barreled over, and we had sex. I find myself hanging around the apartment building, trying to catch sight of her, but she remains elusive. Almost as if she's trying to evade me.Actually, that's exactly the tactic she's employing.That girl wants nothing to do with me and there doesn't seem to be a damned thing I can do to change that. I hate to admit it, but I'm on the verge of giving up. I can't force Alyssa to give me the time of day. There are times in life when you fuck up and are able to fix the mess. This isn't one o
The boy next Door Chapter 30: Alyssa
Am I really this stupid?Ugh. Don't answer that. I'm well aware of the answer.It was foolish to allow myself to get persuaded into this date with Colton.Persuaded...ha!I have no resistance when it comes to that guy. All he has to do is lay his hands on me and my brain leaks right out of my ear. It's disheartening.For the hundredth time today, I pick up my phone and stare at it. I should cancel. That would be the smartest thing to do. Just as I type out a message, there's a knock on the apartment door, and my head snaps up as my belly crashes to my toes. I place my palm against my lower abdomen as if that will keep it in place.It's too late. He's already here.I straighten my shoulders. One date. One chance. That's all I agreed to. If he fucks it up in any way, I can walk away with a clear conscious. When my heart clenches at the idea of us really being over, I brush it aside and tell myself that it's for the best. Colton isn't the kind of guy I need in my life. He'
The boy next Door Chapter 31: Alyssa
On wooden legs, I force myself to the table and awkwardly take a seat on the chair. My fingers fidget restlessly in my lap. Colton returns with two glasses of red wine before offering me one.Once I have mine in hand, he raises his glass and offers a toast. "To new beginnings."Another burst of nerves explode inside me. With stiff lips, I echo the sentiment and raise the glass to my mouth before gulping down at least half the contents. If this behavior continues, I will never make it through the night.If he notices my unease, he refrains from commenting. Instead, he returns to the kitchen and brings out a colorful looking salad filled with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons before doling out our servings. There's a bottle of Italian dressing already on the table. I pour just enough to give the greens taste. Normally, I try to eat carefully. What I've discovered over the years is that there is no way to hide a few extra pounds in a skintight leotard.As much as I hate
