All Chapters of Sinful Semester(Dripping College Desires): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Kai’s Pov Matteo had always been the one who decided first and explained later, if he explained at all. People were scared of him for a reason. He didn’t waste time asking twice. If he wanted a deal closed, a man removed, or a door opened, he handled it and moved on. I was the one who talked. I sat through the dinners, smiled when it was useful, and kept the room from turning into a fight before we needed one. He thought. I moved things along at a pace that didn’t get us shot in the parking lot. It had worked for years. Right now he was dragging Victoria down the hall by the wrist like she had agreed to any of this. I followed them into the movie room and watched her stumble a step to keep up. She wasn’t fighting hard, but she wasn’t walking on her own either. That was the problem. “Can I have a word with you?” I said. Matteo looked at me. Victoria looked at both of us. I nodded toward the hall. He let go of her wrist, told her to sit, and stepped out with me. I closed the

Victoria’s PovI stood in the bathroom longer than the shower needed.What conversation? That was the only thought that would sit still. Maybe they were done with me. Maybe the shopping was a last nice thing before they put me in a car and drove me somewhere nobody would find. Maybe Bianca’s family had called and I was the problem they had to clean up. My hands shook while I dried my hair. I put on one of the dresses I had bought, because if they were about to ruin my life I at least wanted to look like I had spent their money on purpose.They were already at the table when I came down. Food was out. A maid pulled my chair and left. Matteo and Kai did not look at me the way they usually did, that long stare that felt like a test. They looked at their plates. That was worse.My heart would not slow down. I sat. I put food on my plate. I didn’t taste it.“You are keeping me in a hot seat,” I said. “Can you just tell me what this is?”Kai set his fork down. “You are our captive. We can t

Victoria’s PovJonathan did not let it go. I had known he would not. He waited until the nurse sent us into the hall again, then jerked his chin at the stairwell.“Just you.”Kai looked at me. I nodded before Matteo could shut it down. “Five minutes. I’ll be right here.”The stairwell smelled like the cleaner they used on the floors. Jonathan shut the door with his foot and stood with his hands on his hips, which was what he did when he was trying not to shout in a building full of sick people.“Start again.”“Jon.”“Don’t. You left. You called from a number that wasn’t yours. You sounded like someone was sitting next to you telling you what to say. Now two men I’ve never met are in Dad’s room, and you’re talking about a hospital we cannot pay for.” He rubbed his face. “I’m not an idiot, Vic. If you’re in trouble, say it while we’re alone.”The truth got as far as my teeth. I could see it. I tell him, he does something brave, Matteo hears about it before we reach the car, and my broth

Victoria’s Pov I came through the door already wound too tight. Hospital soap. Jonathan’s voice. Dad asking where I was. I did not want a shower and a ceiling. I wanted something that would shut my head up.Kai was in the hall. Matteo behind him.“He asked for you,” Kai said.“Yeah. Then he slept. I’m not doing a recap.” I dropped my bag. “I don’t want to go upstairs and think. I need to not think.”Kai’s eyes changed. “Say what that means.”“It means fuck me. Both of you. I already said yes. I’m saying it because I want it, not because of the hospital.”Matteo stepped in and caught my jaw. “Careful. You ask like that, you get it like that.”“Good.”They took me to the big room. Door shut. Kai kissed me hard enough to knock the day sideways. Matteo pulled my dress up and off before I finished kissing back. No slow undress. Bra gone. Underwear yanked down. I was wet and it was obvious, and I didn’t care.“Look at that,” Kai said, fingers sliding through it. “You needed this.”“Stop ta

Sienna’s PovI hate this job.I said it in the staff room today and Tessa laughed so hard she spilled coffee on her skirt."Say it again. I don't think the dean heard you.""I'm serious, Tess. Five years. Five whole years of talking to people who don't even want to be there."And today was one of those days. A boy slept through my entire lecture with his mouth open. A girl asked me if the exam would be "easy or hard," like I'm the weather forecast. Then another one told me, to my face, that my slides were boring. In front of everybody.I smiled and said thanks for the feedback. Inside I wanted to throw my marker at his head.Tessa wiped her skirt with a tissue. "So are you going today or not?""I'm going.""Nervous?""No.""Sianna.""Okay, a little."I got the job last week. Professor Hale passed my number to the Mulet family, and the mother called me herself. The pay was so good, anyone would say yes immediately. She wants me to tutor her son after my lectures, three evenings a week.
