Ellie Goulding Pushed Off Chair Novels & Stories

Ellie bit her lip seductively as she stared at me. “Can you come, Louis?” She walked towards me, shaking her ass like she was on a catwalk, practically shoving Keelan out of the way.

Elara's legs felt unsteady beneath her, but she forced herself to take a step toward the stage. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
