June.By the time I arrived home, it was almost time for dinner and my wrist had an angry imprint because some jerk wouldn’t have any self-control.I stormed up the porch without a glance at the driver whose car I just jumped out of, anger making it impossible for me to breathe or even reply to his comment.Despite all of the efforts I made to avoid seeing Knox, none of them had been enough to stop him from coming after me himself.I should’ve known that someone somewhere would’ve alerted him about spotting me and his brother together.And now here I was stuck between the two brothers. One of them, a raging, manipulative lunatic. The other as calm as the storm, offering a tempting shoulder to lean on.I winced as my wrist throbbed with an uncomfortable ache from Knox’s hard grip earlier.The living room was empty when I stepped in through the door.Through the small archway of the kitchen nearby, I could see my mother standing over one of the stoves as she made dinner.With her back

June. I was lying against Knox’s chest with his heartbeat pounding under my hands and his arms wrapped around my back like a cage.Fuck me, this wasn’t what I had in mind.I shoved at him the second my brain caught up. My palms pressed into the hard plane of his chest, trying to create space that simply refused to exist.My struggle only led him to tighten his hold.“Let go,” I hissed, twisting.He didn’t. He pulled me closer until my face was almost level with his. Close enough that I could count the flecks of darker blue in his eyes. Close enough that when he lifted his head, his mouth nearly brushed mine.I jerked my face away so hard my neck cracked.Rather than his usual annoyance which I was used to, the corner of his mouth twitched with amusement. What the hell was even funny?In the next second, he rolled us. As soon as my body hit the mattress, his body followed, settling between my thighs before I could snap them shut.His knees shoved outward to pry my legs open. The

My brain was still sparkling at the edges. “What fa?”“Don’t be selfish, June.”And the second I knew exactly what he meant, I hated that my body clenched at the words.“No.”His smile didn’t move. “It’s not like you’ve never done it before.”Now that was the problem.I had.But the first time, he hadn’t asked. His hand had been feasted in my hair and had gagged and cried and hated him, and I had sworn to myself on the walk home that it would never happen again.“You forced me,” I said quietly.Something crossed his face and then it was gone before I could identify it.He cupped my cheek and thumbed the damp corner of my eye.“Yeah I did.” He leaned in until his lips brushed my ear. “This time you’re going to do it willingly.”“And if I don’t?”“Then maybe I’ll kiss you good night and you walk out that door.” He pulled back without breaking eye contact. “Maybe I mean it, maybe I don’t. But we both know you’ll do it willingly.”I hated how right he was.Probably seeing the look on my

June. One last time, I gathered the courage to pick up my phone again.The messages were exploding by the minute but one thing that still gave me strength was the fact that the video was blurry and the girl in it was barely recognizable.At the knowledge, I managed to pull myself together. No one knew. Not a soul could identify me yet. I was still on the safe side, right?All that was left now was to get to school, figure out Knox’s whereabouts and get him to undo this nonsense.Did he even understand what was at stake with that video exposed?I needed a clean sheet to be able to get that scholarship and with this in the air, my chances were beginning to wane.It’d be over by the time the board figured it all out, thanks to him.Of all the things, was this even a reason I was bold enough to explain to my mom? That I lost something of value because I’d given in to sucking my bully’s cock on that sticky classroom floor?My mom had worked multiple jobs to keep the lights on and the fam

Knox.For a solid few seconds, nobody in the locker room made a sound after she stormed away.I stood there, completely shocked, confused, and burning with a blind, suffocating rage because I couldn't wrap my head around what had just happened.The video was on my phone. I hadn't deleted it. In fact, I remembered keeping it.I sure as hell hadn't posted it for the entire school to see. The only person I had ever sent it to was Mae, a week ago.But even Mae wouldn't be stupid enough to leak something that could blow up like this.I snapped out of my daze as I realized the rest of the guys were still standing around staring, some of them half-naked.The sheer absurdity of it broke the dam of my restraint.“What the fuck are you all looking at?!” I barked, my voice bouncing off the metal lockers loud enough to make them flinch. “Why the fuck are you even naked? Get your clothes on!”One of them, Miller, held up his hands as he took a step back. “Bro, calm down, it’s just the locker room.
