All Chapters of Dirty Little secrets : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

AvaThen the door burst open, some hotel guy with the spare key finally showed and Calder charged in like a bull, eyes wild, grabbing the waiter by the collar and yanking him off me, slamming him against the wall with a thud that shook the pictures. "You motherfucker! Get your hands off her!" Calder roared, fist connecting with the guy's jaw first, snap, then another to the gut, doubling him over, and he didn't stop, just kept punching, face, ribs, wherever, blood splattering, the waiter crumbling to the floor whimpering, "Sorry, sorry, please…. "I was shaking, backing up to the bed, pulling the robe tight around me, yelling, "Calder! Stop, you'll kill him!" But part of me didn't want him to stop, that rage in Calder's eyes was terrifying and hot at the same time, like he was ready to end this guy for touching me, and the waiter was curled up now, crying harder, begging, "I didn't mean… help! Your chick is cute though. Hitting on a youngster while you can huh, rich guys do have it ea

AvaHe ran a hand through his hair, pacing now, voice rising. "Slow doesn't mean watching you flirt with some ex-crush right in front of me! You pushed me away, called me sir like I'm nothing yeah, it hurt, okay? If you're ashamed, fine, but don't string me along. I love you, but I'm not gonna be your dirty secret.""String you along? Fuck you, Calder I wasn't flirting, just catching up! And slow was your idea, Mr. 'Department Drama,' so why flip out now? You're the one who.. ""Because it fucking sucks seeing you light up for him like that! Young, handsome yeah, I get it, I'm old, boring. Go be with Noah, skip grades together or whatever."I threw a pillow at him, yelling, "You're being an idiot! I don't want Noah I want you, dumbass! But yeah, fine, if you're gonna be all moody and accuse me, sleep on the couch!"He grabbed the pillow, tossing it back harder. "Couch? This is my room too. fuck this, I'm sleeping here, you take the couch if you're so pissed.""Fine! No, wait you take

~Ava~I yelled it half-laughing, half-desperate, because the way he was hovering over me in those ridiculous skinny jeans that hugged every damn inch, the new earring glinting under the hotel lamp like some secret signal, and his eyes all dark and hungry after a whole day of cheesy lines and soft touches, I was done playing, done with the slow burn, I wanted him rough and real now, no more soap opera script.Calder froze for a second, mouth twitching like he was fighting another dramatic line, then he just grinned wicked, all teeth and promise, "Finally, my queen commands," and he crashed his mouth down on mine, not gently anymore, tongue demanding, hands yanking my bikini bottoms down in one impatient tug.I arched up, nails digging into his shoulders through the thin hoodie, moaning loud enough the neighbors probably heard, but who gave a shit, this was our room, our mess to fix, and fuck if I wasn't gonna make him forget every insecure thought he'd had about Noah or age or whatever

AvaWe drove maybe twenty minutes, him humming some old rock song off-key on purpose to make me laugh, and I did, head on his shoulder, but the sad lingered, knotting up because leaving meant facing Noah's text I hadn't told him about, meant back to sneaking around campus, meant maybe losing this easy vibe.He pulled into this little hidden cove parking lot, not the main beach, more private, trees shading, and hopped out, grabbing a bag from the trunk I hadn't noticed. "Come on, special time.""What's in there?" I asked, following him down a short path to the sand, waves crashing louder now, but quiet otherwise, no crowds."Stuff," he winked, spreading out a blanket fancier than our towel yesterday, actual picnic setup with a cooler, flowers even, wild ones he'd picked? "Sit, my lady, let the pampering begin."I plopped down, eyes wide. "Flowers? When'd you get those?""Sneaked out early while you snored," he admitted, sitting behind me, pulling me between his legs like yesterday. "No

AvaBut fuck her for saying it out loud. "Oh, I'm the whore?" I snapped back, voice rising, people turning heads now, the whole cabin going quiet except for the engine hum. "Says the mom whose kid's recording strangers like some junior paparazzi creep? Maybe teach your spawn some manners instead of filming porn in public!" She stepped closer, jabbing a finger at me. "You watch your mouth! Security's gonna hear about this!" Calder was trying to pull me back, his hand on my arm, "Ava, babe, chill, it's not worth it," but I was already in it, adrenaline pumping, that chaotic rage mixing with the sadness bubbling up because why was my life always this shitshow?I lunged forward, grabbing a fistful of her hair those cheap extensions, I swear and yanked hard, a few strands snapping right off in my hand. "Lesson one, bitch: don't call people whores when you're raising a future OnlyFans director!" She screeched, swatting at me, "Get off! Help!" The kid jumped up then, this scrawny little as
