All Chapters of Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jacob“Mr Richard!” Our voice echoed in unison. “You weren’t in your room, Jacob.” Mr Jacob said, eyes glancing from me to Jacob. “It would be really nice if you could learn how to knock… or they didn’t teach you that in college?” Daniel snarled at him. But Mr Richard ignored him. His eyes still scanning the room. Daniel's fingers were still lightly around my neck, just tight enough to make it a little hard to breathe… or even move.But I guess that was his plan. He knew he had me under his control, and there was no way for me to escape or run to Mr Richard. Before Mr Richard interrupted our little game. Daniel had one hand propped up on the headboard of the bed and was kind of smiling down at me after I promised to stay away from my favorite teacher. "Say it again," he muttered, his voice all low and threatening, but in a fun way, I suppose. With Daniel, sometimes you never know."Make me," I shot back, smiling up at him.He squeezed just a bit more, but only for a quick secon

JacobI found Jacob in his room, dancing to the music that was playing loudly on his phone. He looked like he didn’t give a damn care in the world. It was also the first time I’d seen him like this. Which meant this was bad. It was all levels bad, and it was all my fault. I stood in the doorway, watching him. Scared to go in. Terrified to call out to him… to touch him. This was the biggest mess up in all histories of… mess ups and I didn’t know what to do. Or how to fix it. Managed to summon some courage to walk in. “Hey,” I said, tapping him on his back, and when he turned to look at me, my heart almost stopped.“He..hey. Is it my turn now, pretty boy?”What? What the fuck did he mean by that? “Can we talk… please?” Picked up his phone from the bed and paused the music. “Damn Jacob. What the fuck do you want from me man.” He snorted. “You can go be with Mr Richard… or whoever else you decide to cheat on me with.”My face was shades of confusion. ‘Cheat?’ Wouldn’t it be only

RichardI couldn't help but obsess over him.Jacob.It wasn’t love or anything like it. It was something much more stronger than love. The memory of his lips on mine, how they'd been hesitant at first, then greedy, as though he'd been yearning for the taste of my lips. The way his chest had risen and fallen rapidly as my fingers explored the curves of his body beneath his shirt, tracing the sharp ridges of his hipbones with an hungry touch.The way his gaze had burned when I'd whispered against his mouth, “I want you."And then Daniel had pushed open the door.Just great.I hadn't planned it, but the moment Daniel's shadow fell inside the room, I'd seized the opportunity. Drawn Jacob closer, deepened our kiss until it was seamy, until there could be no doubt of our sins.It felt good that he witnessed it. Felt the sting of betrayal.Because Jacob wasn't truly his.And after that, all that show, I was sure Daniel would concede defeat.But then…The next morning, I’d come early to c

JacobI should've felt relieved. After everything I did. The lies, the sneaking around, and the betrayals, Daniel was still willing to continue with the contract. But did I? Hell no. I didn’t feel a single relief. The only thing I felt was fear, like everything would come crashing down right in front of me any second now. Daniel didn’t rip our contract to shreds. But he should have, then I wouldn’t feel like a total crap of a human being. After everything? After my epic fail? He could've, he should've. The terms were crystal clear. No other guy, as long as the contract was valid, no drama. And what did I do? I broke every single rule. And yet, he let it slide. Or maybe he pretended. It didn’t matter what it was, really. The most important thing was that Daniel still wanted to talk to me… touch me. Every time I tried to make amends, to apologize for my mistake again, he’d shut me down with a casual wave.It could be fake even though it didn’t look that way. It looked and felt l

DanielThere was this persistent ache in my chest when I woke up. It could be from the weight of everything that happened in the last few days. The hiding, lying to Sarah… and getting back with Jake after everything. The pain and the thoughts pressed down on me as I lay on the bed, my eyes focusing on the ceiling of my room. The morning lights flicked through the fabric in the window, casting gold lines on the walls. It was a new day. Another day to be in school, see those familiar faces… see Jake’s face.Rolled to the other side of the bed, reaching for my phone on the nightstand. Notifications light up my phone. A message from Sarah… and my mom, but nothing from Jacob.Not that I was expecting anything. Things between us had been more complicated, but I thought that forgiving him would change things a bit. Ever since Mr Richard got in the picture, it’d been from one fight to another. I’d thought of breaking off the contract if that would make him happy, but since the whole issue
