Emma’s POVI didn't sleep last night, I law awake on the sofa, gazing up at the ceiling, and ran over and over the conversation I have talked with Jordy and Austin.It's as if everything has shifted, fragmented and settled in some other place, into a pattern I barely recognize.I can't tell anyone, that is almost the worst part. But I have to go to school no matter what happened.As I walk into the grand foyer, I accidentally hear people murmuring about me, let's just say that their words are very mean.In the crowd, many curious gazes at me, and some people even glare at me with eyes shot daggers.This hostility carries on through the whole day. A girl even splashes me with a cup of coffee; one guy teases me and asks me if he gives me some money, would I will give him oral sex.I feel very uncomfortable about the vicious attention, everyone's heads snap at me no matter where I am.But as soon as I turn around to search for the speakers, the voices die down very quickly.I'm so nervou

Emma’s POVRyan and I walk together to the main house just as the rain begins to fall harder, and I curse under my breath at the weather.We plan to hold a party tonight, and the heavens think it's fit to send down a mixture of rain and ice.I hold an umbrella and Ryana is at my side leading me along. I pause inside his door, my shoes are muddy from the damp ground. As I look around, I can't see tracking the filth across the floor.“Emma, come in!” Ryan gives me a pair of slippers and grabs my hand to the parlor.My gaze stares out the window anxiously at the rain-slick streets, Under this weather, Austin is crazy enough to go swimming, is he seeking death? Then why should I care about him so much?Ryan goes to close the window, and the sharp pitter-pat of rain from outside fades to a distant sound.The rest of the groups start to talk about gossip and their hobbies. The more they laugh, the more worried I feel.Why I can't control my feelings toward Austin?One of the group members i

Emma’s POVAfter the passion night, before Austin wakes up, I sneak out of his bed and go home with Ryan.Ryan and his friends thought I slept at Ryan's house, and they didn't know what happened last night.But when I arrive home, Tara texts me that I’d better move out as soon as possible, there is no cheap place to rent.She suggests the place she told me about last time, but I’ve heard from the news, that many creepy rich landlords use the cheap rent to lure the girls and force them to sell their bodies. So I told her I didn’t like the place.Austin says he can offer me his apartment. Jordy suggests I can live in one of his houses near my college.But I decide to think about it and try to look for another cheap place to live. Recently I sleep at the coffee shop at night while taking away my other stuff in the attic room.It’s cold today, I’m in my nightdress still in my dirty attic room, put a pile of paper on my lap, and want to write a letter to Roberta.The coffee shop has a big

Emma’s POVJordy has been spending several days in the hospital, and I know it's difficult for him, working for a long time and taking care of me on his own.I tell him that I don't mind if he goes home and leaves me to sleep in the hospital alone.“Jordy?”“What?”“You really don’t have to sleep over there, I can take care of myself.”“But your bed is large enough for an entire football team as it is.” He refuses to go home.“Wait, didn’t you sleep on the sofa at night?” I frown and ask him.“No, every night we sleep together. You’re so tired and doesn’t realize I hug you when you’re sleeping.”WTF? The thing is, I don’t really even think about where he sleeps.Perhaps the days he feeds me massages me and takes care of me have loosened us all up a little. Perhaps it’s the daily life of us in bed, wrap up in each other.Perhaps my heart just wants to be near him."Jordy, I don't mind, I'm okay. If it will ... know ... give you a bit of privacy.""Okay," he is cheerful, already loose i

Jordy’s POVIt's a slow morning for me. The room is quiet this morning, I wake up and can see the marks of Jordy’s passion upon my skin.Last night, his desire for me is insatiable.After the first time, I had fallen asleep, he was still inside me. Yes, an hour or so later I had woken again and he made love to me a second time, then again, but we had not discussed the feelings.The second time we made love even more intense than the first, and we did for hours, which gave me orgasm after orgasm before taking my own pleasure.I bite my lips, my life would change in one day - I will be Jordy's wife.Suddenly, the door opens and a familiar woman sweeps in with a feather duster, mincing about the room, talking in a broad accent."Missy, you and my master slept together? Oh, how these newlyweds carry on. And each time you two have a spat, very soon get back together."I look at her in consternation, not sure of the right things to say, or how to act. "Yeah.""Now get you out of bed and get
