Chapter 1

Laura's POV.This day was supposed to be perfect.It was my last day in college, and for once, my chest felt light instead of tight. The kind of light that came with endings that promised new beginnings for me.I stood in front of my mirror, turning slowly, smiling at my reflection like I was meeting myself for the first time.But tonight mattered more than anything to me. There was a graduation party happening off campus, and Chad, my boyfriend, had planned everything together.Down to the smallest detail. Matching outfits. Matching Colors. A couple's statement. We were supposed to walk into the graduation party together and let everyone see what we were.I had imagined it so many times.I was adjusting my earrings when Zara, my best friend, walked in. She didn't smile at me. She didn't tease me. She didn't say my name.Her face was calm, almost too calm, but her eyes gave her away. “Laura,” she said softly. “Have you checked your phone?”I felt anxious and I turned to her. “Is ev

Chapter 2

Laura's POV.For a split second, after my palm connected with Chad's face. People stared at me in awe, like no one trusted what they had just seen.The old Laura would have apologized by now. She would have cried. She would have begged him to understand. She would have folded herself into something small and forgivable. But I didn't.Chad looked at me with a stunned expression. His cheeks were already turning red.“What the hell is wrong with you?” he snapped at me. I stepped closer to him.“Never,” I said. “Never in your life speak to me with that kind of disrespect again.”Someone gasped at my warning. I didn't look to see who.“You don't own me. You don't get to humiliate me and then act like I should be grateful. Move on chad. There is nothing between us, she was the one who forced herself on me, right? That's what you said?” The words felt unreal coming out of my mouth. Like I was borrowing someone else's courage.“Laura, you are drunk. Don't embarrass yourself.” he said and I l

Chapter 3

Laura's pov.The alcohol burned in my veins. It was louder than my thoughts. I knew this wasn't me. Not the sober me. Not the careful girl who over thought everything and apologized too much. But the alcohol didn't care about who I usually was. It peeled me open and let something reckless breathe.Somewhere in the back of my head, a small voice whispered that I should stop. That I should think. That this wasn't how I acted with strangers.But the voice was drowned out by the rush in my body, by the way my skin felt too sensitive and too alive.I laughed softly, I was breathless and surprised by myself.This is the alcohol, I told myself. This is not really me.Yet, I didn't pull away.“How about you stop flirting with words and start showing me exactly what's on your mind.” he said, leaning his back on the counter.My eyes followed the direction of his movements and they landed right on his dick. It was hard and I could already see how pointed it looked, as it turned me on the more.

Chapter 4

Laura's POV.I woke up suddenly, my body jerking like I had fallen from somewhere high.For a few seconds, I just laid there, staring at the ceiling. My heart raced for no clear reason, the room felt unfamiliar to me but not enough to scare me, yet my body felt wrong.It felt heavy and used. I felt sore in places that made my stomach twist with embarrassment, and I felt self conscious.I shifted slightly and felt the warmth beside me. Zara was still asleep next to me, her back was turned against me and she was breathing slow and steady. That alone should have calmed me, but it didn't. Instead, memories rushed in all at once.My brain flashed in a jiffy and I remembered last night. Hands and lips, a low voice against my ears. The way my body had responded without hesitation. The way I had wanted more even when I knew I shouldn't, it all felt real to me.I swallowed hard and pulled the duvet higher, suddenly aware of my own body. But I had slept over at Zara's place more times than I c

Chapter 5

Lucas's POV.Weeks passed, but that night refused to loosen its grip on me. It refused to stay where it belonged.That night would always stay in the quiet moments that I had to myself. In the spaces between my meetings and in the way my body reacted before my mind could stop it. I had slept with women before, plenty of them but none of them stayed like this. And none of them followed me into the daylight.Laura did. I remembered her the way you remember a song you didn't mean to fall in love with. The way her body had fit against mine like it had always known where to go.The way she had looked at me without fear and without hesitation, like she wanted something and didn't care what it cost.That look messed with me more than anything else. I tried to drown it out by going out to clubs. I went to bars and loud places.I tried to drown it down the way men like me usually do. I made sure to get close to different women. I allowed them to press their bodies against mine. I let them pu

Chapter 6

Laura's POV.I stood outside the office door and took a deep breath. The tension back in the office with Lucas still stuck to my skin and it was impossible to shake it off me, no matter how hard I tried.I pressed my fingers into my palm, grounding myself, and reminding myself why I had walked out of his office in the first place.I had done the right thing. I had to believe that.The same man whose hands I still felt in quiet moments. The same man my body remembered too well. No man had ever made my body respond the way he did. No man had ever made me lose myself like that in so much sexual desire and pleasure. No man had ever made me cum like that. And the worst part wasn't the memory, it was how alive it still felt inside of me.I hated myself for it.I hated that even after everything, my body still reacted to him. That my thoughts still drifted back to that night. That part of me wanted something I had no right to want.Zara's face flashed in my mind. What mattered most to me wa

Chapter 7

Laura's POV.I left the office yesterday with so much anger boiling inside of me. This morning, I was already awake but I was still annoyed.I knew exactly who was responsible for it. It was no one else but Lucas. He told me to my face that he wasn't going to fire me no matter what I did to him. But at the back of my head, I knew that I just had to push a little bit further and I would get to piss him off so badly that he has no other choice but to fire me. Because a human being has limits, and those limits he wouldn't be able to control.I made that decision of mine while brushing my hair in front of the mirror. If Lucas didn't react, then I was definitely going to make him do so. In less than two hours I was already in the office but I was late on purpose. I wasn't five minutes, or thirty minutes late. I was two full fucking hours late.When I came into the office I wasn't even rushing. I just walked in majestically, ignoring the glances I got from the other employees who already

Chapter 8

Laura's POV.I thought I heard Lucas say the wrong words to me. But his words resounded in my ears all over again, a business trip with him.I held onto the file in my hands so tightly than ever as I stared at Lucas like he had just said something completely insane.You're definitely insane.” I said, but Lucas didn't smile at me. Probably to prove that my words were wrong.“I don't joke about work,” he replied.Of course I was foolish enough not to realize his company was his top priority and he wouldn't trade it over some silly joke.His words were still trying to process in my head. I didn't even know when I let out a soft chuckle as I shook my head in utter disbelief.“No. No, that's not happening.” I muttered.“It is definitely happening. I want you to get your bags packed.” he said, his gaze not leaving mine.“Didn't you hear me Lucas? I said I'm not going anywhere.” I snapped at him quickly. “You are allowed to go ahead and find someone else. Nina, maybe. She has actually been a

Chapter 9

Laura's POV.I knew something was wrong the moment the receptionist hesitated to speak to us after searching the computer for our hotel suite vacancy. I was the only one that noticed when she smiled at us nervously. Lucas didn't seem to notice her body expressions because he didn't care.“Yes? Talk to me. I've been standing here for close to five minutes.” he said. The receptionist cleared her throat, then she spoke up. “There seems to have been a mix-up in your booking.” she said.“What kind of mix-up?” I asked, before Lucas could speak. I also didn't fail to see the apologetic look she gave to me.“We only have one hotel suite available.” she voiced out. I turned to look at Lucas, waiting for him to say something, or anything to just fix the mess we found ourselves in.One hotel suite meant a whole lot to me in a negative way. Lucas didn't say anything, he just looked at the receptionist and spoke up.“Okay. That's fine by us.”“Did you just say fine?” I questioned, as he turned t

Chapter 10

Laura's POV.Last night, I had to run away from Lucas to save myself from embarrassment. After everything that played out in front of us.I had no other option than to remain in the lobby until late at night when I knew he must have probably slept off, that was when I came back into the room. I realized he had occupied the couch already, so I had to sleep on the bed. This afternoon I told myself that I didn't care about him, repeated it in my head like something that I could easily turn into the truth no matter how many times I said it to myself.Lucas told me to accompany him because he needed to be at a restaurant where his presence was needed. As soon as we stepped inside, the soft lights and the quiet music welcomed me.People were actually dressed like they had nothing to worry about. Then, I felt out of place, even in the dress I wore that I spent hours trying to pick what would suit the occasion.“You don't know anyone here, Laura. All you have to do is stay close by and don't
