All Chapters of Dirty Little secrets : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~AvaI stood there in the hallway, back pressed against the wall like I was trying to melt into it, my hand still over my mouth to stop the hysterical giggles from bubbling out too loud, but tears were streaming down my face anyway because holy shit, that was close, way too close, and my heart was pounding so hard I thought it might crack a rib. The door to his office was shut now, but voices were leaking through, muffled but sharp, like knives muffled in a pillow, and I couldn't help it, I inched closer, ear almost touching the wood, because yeah, Ava, great idea, eavesdrop on the marital meltdown you just caused.Inside, Mrs. Calder's voice hit first, all shaky and pissed. "How long, Calder? How long have you been doing this? With her? With others? God, you don't even touch me anymore, do you? It's all for them, isn't it? Your precious students."He mumbled something low, defensive, like "Elena, it's not like that, I swear, it was just… ""Just what? Just flirting? Just your hand on

AvaDinner was finally over, plates clattered into the sink while Mom and dad argued over who got to load the dishwasher this time, their voices overlapping in that annoying married way where everything sounds like a joke but isn't, and Chloe was whining about how the pasta was too al dente or whatever bullshit she pulled to sound fancy, Riley snorting beside her trying not to laugh. I pushed my chair back quiet, hoping to slip out without more questions about this damn trip, but Jax's eyes were on me the whole time, burning holes, and I knew he wasn't buying any of it, especially after that blowup earlier where he called me out in front of everyone like a total dick."Ava," he muttered under his breath as I stood, grabbing my wrist before I could dodge, his grip tight enough to make me wince but not yell. The others were distracted Mom laughing at something dad said, Chloe scrolling her phone, Riley shooting me a quick 'what the fuck' look but not intervening yet. He yanked me toward

AvaWe left the mall with all those bags, my arms aching from carrying half of them even though he tried to grab most, and I was still buzzing from the crepes and his knee pressing against mine under the table, like he couldn't stop touching me even while we ate. "Hotel first," he said, steering me toward the car, that smirk on his face making him look way younger than he was, and I nodded, heart pounding because yeah, clubbing sounded fun, but the idea of crashing with him after? That was the real thrill. The driver took us to this sleek place downtown, not some cheap motel, all glass doors and marble lobby, and he checked in quick, flashing his card like it was nothing, then handed me a keycard. "Room 003. Drop your stuff, change into that red dress. I'll meet you down here in ten." He actually picked the top VIP room, I love big daddies so much. ^^I rode the elevator up alone, grinning like an idiot, and the room was huge king bed, city view, minibar stocked but I didn't linger, j

AvaThe conference dragged on that morning with more boring talks about whatever academic crap he was into, me sitting in the back row doodling stick figures of us fucking on the beach, and he kept glancing back at me from the panel with that secret smirk like he knew exactly what I was thinking. "Lunch break," he whispered when it finally ended, grabbing my hand quickly in the hallway, pulling me out before anyone could corner him with questions. "Beach time. I packed shit.""You packed? Like what, professor picnic?" I teased, bumping his shoulder as we headed to the hotel room to change, and he laughed low, slapping my ass light when no one was looking."Something like that. Hurry up, Ava, or I'll leave without you."We changed fast, me into a bikini that barely covered anything, him in swim trunks and a loose tee that showed off his arms and he grabbed this cooler bag I'd never seen, slinging it over his shoulder like he was Mr. Romantic all of a sudden. The beach was right outside

~Prof Calder~She was pissed from the moment we got out of that shower, towel wrapped around her tight, not even looking at me as she stomped to the bed and flopped down, muttering something about "teasing asshole" under her breath, and I just stood there dripping water, dick still half-hard from toying with her, thinking fuck, I pushed it too far, but also kinda smirking inside because her begging had been hot as hell. "Ava, come on," I said, drying off quickly and sliding in next to her naked, trying to pull her close, but she shoved my hand away."Not now, Calder. You had your chance.""Chance? Baby, that was just foreplay."She rolled over, back to me. "Foreplay my ass. You know what I wanted. Dick. Inside. Not your fingers or tongue or whatever game you're playing. When will you think it's okay to give it to me. "I sighed, staring at the ceiling, because yeah, I was holding back. This age gap bullshit in my head, not wanting to rush and regret, but her grumpiness hit me hard, ma
