CHARLOTTETaide took off his suit jacket as he strode away from the door.I turned to Reigh, seeing him slide his hand into his pockets.I showed him the back of my dress. “Can you unzip me?”His footsteps came next, drawing closer.Taide looked up, now dressed down to just a vest and dress shirt as
“You.” I panted, “The both of you.”I turned my neck, seeing as Taide stood in the middle of the room. Waiting.I pushed away from Reigh as I reached for his hand and pulled him along. Towards the bed. When I let go, I climbed onto the soft foam, my hands and knees sinking into it before I looked at
My thighs clamped around his head. I was so sensitive from the last two orgasms, and I could already feel a third building up.“Fuck!” Reigh breathed, tweaking my nipples between his fingers. “This is so hot!”Taide hummed, and I felt the vibrations against my core. I panted, my chest heaving as I l
CHARLOTTE I stepped out of Taide’s bathroom when I was done brushing my teeth. I gently shut the door as I exited, careful not to disturb the man still lying on his stomach, asleep on Taide’s bed, a sheet covering the lower half of his body. My eyes drifted over him—down the toned lines of his br
CHARLOTTE Madeline pulled her face out of Taide’s hand. “This isn’t what it looks like,” her voice was shaky, and now that Sean had pointed it out, I could see the restlessness that seemed to just… hover over her. “Bullshit,” Sean bit out harshly, then continued, his voice full of disappointment
And when I came to stand by his side, he let out a shuddering breath and asked slowly, “When did you find out about Madeline?” “I walked in on her doing it in our dorm room once.” That time seemed so long ago. Taide let out a ragged breath. “She told me it was the first time,” I whispered, but he
CHARLOTTE The moment the elevator doors slid open, Taide pushed up from his spot on the floor and hurriedly walked out, slipping between Caeson and me. His eyes were red, matching the color of his deeply flushed skin. From what little I could glimpse of his face, there were no signs of him cryin
Reigh pondered my words just as Caeson walked out of the house and to his car. As he passed us, he shared a look with Reigh before nodding. Then, he met my eyes. I looked back at Reigh, and we held eye contact, like a silent war. Then Reigh sighed and looked away. He started with a shrug, “Fine.
He hadn’t even raised his voice, yet despite the distance, his words carried like he had just whispered them in my ear. Seductive and bitter. My damnation. “But you made it too easy, Harlot. You almost ruined the fun.” Harlot. It was the first time I had heard him call me that in months. All
But then again, what made me think I knew what strange was for Reigh? Yesterday had taught me that I really didn’t know anything about the brothers I had given my heart to. Caeson pulled away from the small crowd, ever the individualist. Always the grand tormentor. He refused to let me walk
No. It fucking burned. “I’d say I’ll miss you, Charlotte,” he continued, only loud enough for me to hear, “but I never lie.” No, he didn’t. Except when he did. “Go home, Charlotte,” he said with finality, pulling away from me. His words were soft, but his eyes were not. I could see the w
They were there to see me off. To remind me never to show my face on their turf again. But I refused to let myself be bossed around by the same people who had taken it upon themselves to ruin my life. Fuck the Deviltree. Fuck their elite group of preppy rich kids who had only made it this f
PRESENT DAY CHARLOTTE Whoever said a person’s world couldn’t go up in flames in the blink of an eye deserved an award. It was the best lie ever told. I stood alone, even though I was surrounded—by the same people who had set out to destroy me ever since I showed up at this school two years a
I started pacing the room, my mind racing through the words I’d planned to say. I knew I had to be strong, I had to tell her the truth, even if it was going to hurt her. “Madeline,” I said, my voice rough. “Sit down.” Her brows furrowed in confusion, but she did as I asked. She perched on the edge
24 HOURS BEFORE JUNIOR YEAR GRADUATION REIGH I arrived at the clinic with a weight on my chest, one I hadn’t been able to shake since the night before. The door clicked shut behind me as I stepped inside, and I had to remind myself to breathe. The lobby was empty, save for a flickering TV mo
Vance’s expression didn’t change, but I saw his jaw tighten, just a little. He was listening. I could tell he understood what that meant. He didn’t need me to spell it out. He knew what our father was capable of. Vance’s father, Bernard, had worked for ours for as long as I could remember. And Vanc
48 HOURS BEFORE JUNIOR YEAR GRADUATION REIGH I slammed the door shut behind me, the sharp thud echoing in the quiet morning air. I didn’t wait to see Caeson drive off. It was like we were all just going through the motions, pretending we weren’t about to destroy the one thing that mattered m
