Then I walked out before I could do something I would regret. …… I barely made it down the hall before I had to stop and breathe. My heart was pounding. Because for a split second, just a second, I wanted him to stop me. I wanted to know what it would feel like to cross that line. And maybe… just maybe Lucian wanted to cross it too.

Mason was clapping loudly from the back, leaning over to say something to Jax. "Excellent job, girls," the professor said, smiling as he wrote down our grade. "Very engaging shift from your original topic. Are there any questions from the class?" I let out a massive sigh of relief, my shoulders sagging as I reached out to grab my laptop cord.

He'd spoken to her with his body, with his voice, with every look—and he knew what he wanted. But Lucy… didn't. She wasn't going to cross that line. She stood up abruptly, splashing water across the floor. "This… this is wrong… and don't forget what we are—a deal, Eros. Nothing more. So… don't confuse things."

"No, I don't know anything about this! Nicholas sent me this address!" "How dare you make excuses?! Madison, I'll publish the remaining videos online exactly as they are. This time, I won't give you a chance to find someone to replace you. I want everyone to know you've slept with many men in order to get the Best Actress title! You still want to marry Nicholas? He probably won't even want a slut like you after this!" Greg said and turned around to leave, but a video suddenly appeared on the television screen. The image was blurry, seemingly from surveillance footage from ten or twenty years ago, but two little girls could be vaguely seen hiding in a warehouse.

I wanted the girls to go first. Lucy was the first to peak. I heard her now-familiar low, throaty groan as she took herself over the top. Eyes rolled back in her head. "That's... it..." the words squeezed out of her like she was a strange, buxom accordion A moment later, Lindsay let out a cute little squeak. "Oh!" she cried out, her whole body shaking like she'd been shocked. Tongue lolled out of her mouth. Finally, she collapsed, lifeless, to the floor. She let out a long, soft, "Ahhhhhhhh."
