Terrible life

2024-10-29 19:42:56The movement from driving was making me a bit dizzy and I had to close my eyes to keep myself from passing out.
"You aren't going to throw up in my truck, are you?" Collin asked, reminding me that I was in a vehicle with the coach.
I grinned over at him. "Nah, I can hold it." I looked at the huge space separating us and wanted to move closer. Then an idea struck me. "Hey, can I push this up and sit in the middle? I'm getting a bit dizzy and it helps sometimes when I sit in the middle."
He looked between me and the space between us nervously but nodded anyway.
After pushing the middle console up, I scooted closer to him, pressing my leg tightly against his. The warmth he provided sent a wave of chills up the left side of my body.
"Mmm," I moaned, "much better."
I watched as his hands gripped the steering wheel tighter and his gaze stayed on the road. I wanted to get some kind of reaction out of him, so I slowly slid my hand onto his thigh, squeezing him to let him know my intentions.
He jumped in his seat and grabbed my hand, pulling it off of his leg.
"Saige, keep your hands to yourself," he groaned out, sounding more annoyed than I had imagined he'd be. What was his deal?
"Sorry, it's a habit," I teased.
The look he gave me was a haunted one, making me feel a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden. I was never uncomfortable around a guy I was pursuing, so what changed?
"Where do I turn?" He asked, keeping both hands tightly on the wheel again.
I looked around to see where we were and felt a tinge of disappointment when I saw we were only a few blocks from my house."Take a right up there. I'm five houses down on the right after that."
It seemed like he sped up a bit. Was he uncomfortable being in the truck with me? I bit my bottom lip, trying to hide the grin playing on my lips. Maybe I was affecting Coach Collin more than he was letting on. I wanted to see how far I could take this.
Once he pulled over in front of my house, he let go of the wheel and looked at me. There was an expression there that made me question my next plan, but I ignored it.
Without thinking it through too much, I jumped over into his lap, straddling him. His eyes went huge with shock as he grabbed at me, but then I slammed my lips down onto his.
His lips were tight and denying mine, but then as I ground my hips into him, he began kissing me back. Our mouths seemed to open at the same time, wanting more. He tasted so much better than I thought he would.
My hands slid up his chest and under his flannel, pushing it aside. He must have had the same thing in mind because his hands came up and shoved my jacket off my shoulders, our mouths never breaking apart once.
I moaned into his mouth before I slid my hand down over his package, feeling the bulge that greeted me. He was officially baited and hooked.
But then he did the unthinkable and broke our kiss and tossed me off of him, into the passenger seat.
"I shouldn't have done that." He pulled his flannel back on and shifted in his seat, clearly adjusting his hard-on.
"But you were enjoying it," I purred. When he looked over at me, I seductively bit down on my finger while my other hand trailed seductively down into my cleavage.
It was clear that he was turned on by this but he quickly regained his composure when his expression turned angry.
"Saige, you're a student at the school I work for. This is a completely inappropriate situation. I need you to stop coming onto me." Then he really stared into my eyes. "You're better than all of this."
I instantly lost my playful mood and teasing manner as a blush crept into my cheeks. He was the first guy to ever make me question my actions. However, this only intrigued me to get to know him even more. Who was this guy?
"Thanks for the ride, Coach," I teased playfully before slipping out of the passenger door.
As I walked up the sidewalk to the front door, I heard Collin's truck pull away from the curb and I half wished he would have stayed because I looked over and saw the creep's car was still in the driveway.
I looked up and down the street, wondering if there was someplace for me to go; but it was the middle of the night and I was drunk, so I figured I had better head inside. My bedroom window was still open from before so I didn't have to go to the front door.
After crawling through my window, I accidentally knocked over my lamp and made a loud crashing sound. I squeezed my eyes shut and cursed under my breath, hoping that they didn't hear me.
When I thought the coast was clear, I began undressing but then my bedroom door whipped open and my light turned on.
"What the hell, Saige? Where the hell have you been?" My mom's voice was like nails on a chalkboard. And since when does she care where I've been? Wasn't she the one who told me to leave earlier?
"I was at TJ's," I replied.
"Is TJ the one who did that?" She pointed at me as I looked down, not seeing what she was pointing out.
"What?"
"That!" She came over to me and flicked my neck with her finger.
I flinched from the stinging sensation her flick left behind. I stepped up to my mirror and pulled my hair back, seeing two hickeys in the reflection.
"Oh, no, those are from Gabe and Michael," I giggled out.
She scoffed and shook her head. "You're ridiculous, you know that? I've got co-workers at the diner telling me you're out with their sons until all hours of the night. You're sneaking in and out of here like you can go and do whatever you please. You're acting like a little slut, Saige. Do you like letting guys take advantage of you? None of them love you; no one will ever love you." She took a drag from her cigarette and blew the smoke in my face.
Her words stung for a split second before anger consumed me. "Really, mom?! That's really rich coming from you. Who do you think I learned all this shit from? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?"
She slapped me hard across the face before she pointed at me, her cigarette still in her hand. "Watch how you talk to me, you little bitch. You're eighteen now. Keep it up and I'll kick your ass to the curb."
I swallowed as I glared at her, trying so hard to keep my words to myself.
"Nothing to say? That's a first," she laughed before turning toward my door. She looked around my room and shook her head. "Clean this fucking shit-hole up." Then she slammed my door behind her.
Hot tears filled my eyes as I brought both hands up and flipped her the bird. I hated her. I hated living here. I hated everything about my life.

They were usually a spur-of-the-moment thing that kept me occupied from my miserable life.However, Collin's kiss was a moment I'd never forget. Just remembering everything about that moment turned me on. The bulge in his jeans when I touched him there sent a wave of excitement through me as I slid my hand down into my panties.

I didn't have anywhere to go and sitting here in the silence was nice for the moment.I finally decided to get up and move, heading back into the school and toward the front doors. But, before I made it very far, I saw a familiar face walking the halls."Gabe?"He turned toward me and smiled. "Hey- there you are."I looked around, finding that we were alone. "You're looking for me?" "Yeah." He ran his hand through his hair and stepped up to me, placing his hand possessively on my hip. "I wanted to tell you that I had fun last night and wanted to, um..." he cleared his throat. "I wanted to see if you wanted to go out sometime."I held back the laugh building in my chest as I studied him. No guy had ever asked me out on a date. Normally they admitted that they liked me, we would head toward a date destination, but never actually make it there."You want to take me out?" I smiled,

I knew what they had done, especially after what she yelled to his retreating back, and I was furious.Our shared kiss from last night was still fresh on my mind and I could still taste her. I wanted so badly to believe that everyone was wrong about her but that clearly wasn't the case. I was so stupid.The door to the classroom opened and I spun around to find Saige standing there with a timid look on her face. It was clear that she hadn't expected to get caught, especially by me.When I didn't move or say anything, she cleared her throat. "So, are you taking me to the principal's office now, or what?" I shook my head. "You need more than detention for your actions."
Irresistible Temptations It feels good
SAIGE POVI don't know who the hell this guy was, but I hated that he was able to make me feel so vulnerable around him. It had been years since I'd cried like this and in the arms of a stranger. But I won't lie and say it didn't feel good. This pent-up fear and sadness had nearly drowned me and I almost felt liberated.When I pulled away from Collin, I stared up into his eyes and saw kindness there that I had somehow missed before. He definitely wasn't like all the guys I'd chased after before, so how did it take me so long to really see it? Perhaps I was too blinded by my stupid games to notice."I, um, should probably head home." I wasn't actually going home but I was done letting Collin see me like this."Let me give you a ride," he offered but I shook my head."I can manage, but thanks."He was looking at me strangely and I couldn't blame him. Normally, I'd jump at the opportunity to be alone with Collin but I needed my own time alone. He said some things that hit home for me and

She left a bit distraught today and with all the talk about her home life, I just couldn't stay away.But as I drove by her place, I noticed how quiet it looked. Was she even here? My gut told me she wasn't.I kept driving past her place, wondering where she might be, when I looked at the passing car and I swore I saw her in the passenger seat. She was with a guy I'd never seen before and knew that he wasn't a student. Who the hell was this guy?After whipping my truck around, I followed after them down a road that took us away from her place. I really didn't want to catch her doing what I thought she was about to do. What did I have to do to get through to this girl? She was so much better than that. And that guy looked to be my age.

He had heard the whole story of what Leo had done to me the night before and what he was about to do again and during the time I spoke, I watched his jaw flex in anger. Did he really care for me? I wouldn't expect him to get so angry about this. He barely knows me.We were in his truck, driving away from the police cars and the alley when he looked over at me."Am I taking you home?"I vigorously shook my head. "That's the last place I want to be right now."He nodded, seeming to know how I felt. "Alright, I have an idea to get your mind off of this." He turned around and I watched as he got on the freeway and headed into the heart of the city."Where are you taking us?""I figured a trip to the mall for some food and goofing around would distract you." He smiled over at me and I swear I melted. Who was this guy? Instead of taking me back to his
Irresistible Temptations Staying in his house
SAIGE POVAs we left the mall, Collin kept looking over at me with a playful grin while shaking his head."A unicorn? Seriously? Out of all the drawings in that book, you choose that?" He laughed, clearly getting a kick out of it as much as I was."It seemed fitting," I giggled.Our moment of laughing halted when my phone began to ring and my mom's face lit up the screen. My heart fell into my stomach as I stared at her face. I didn't want to answer it because I knew what she would say."You going to answer that?"Collin's voice brought me back to the moment as I shook my head at him and ignored her call."It was my mom. I don't feel like talking to her right now." I could hear the sadness in my own voice, so I wonder what he's hearing."Do you have a place to stay tonight, Saige?" Collin asked.I thought of the very few people who would take me in. TJ and Kora, but I knew TJ's mom hated me so that wouldn't work and I knew Kora's grandparents were up from Florida visiting, taking the
Irresistible Temptations We just friends
SAIGE POVCollin brought back a bottle of olive oil and the salt shaker before leaning against the bathroom counter."This shit better come off before tomorrow," he complained.I let out a small laugh and shook my head. "I'll do my best." I dabbed the corner of the washcloth in the oil before sprinkling salt onto it. "This might hurt because the salt makes a scrub. I'll be gentle." I grabbed his chin to steady his face and began rubbing circles onto the unicorn.His chin in my hand made my heart skip a beat. It might have been a small gesture, but to me, this was as close as he was going to let me get at the moment and I could smell his cologne. Damn, he smelled amazing. What was that?"How'd you know how to get this off if you've never had a henna tattoo before?" He asked, trying to keep his eyes on the wall behind me.I shrugged. "Google."He laughed. "Gee, why didn't I think to do that?" He paused as I watched him swallow and tense up. Was I making him uncomfortable? "I think I can

Shifting perspectivesMADALINAMy stomach was upset, and my mouth was dry. Apparently, my body underwent a range of reactions due to the most important event of my new life. I would be the center of attention, all eyes filled with judgment on me. Even before, I never enjoyed public events or parties, and rather let my brother fulfill such a role. Alex was an extrovert like no other, never experiencing an increased heart rate or sweating when giving out a speech. And although I wasn't afraid of speaking up my mind, my attitude was more... military oriented? I was not good at sugarcoating or putting on a perfect-smile façade. And yet, that was exactly what I was about to do tonight.I stood before the mirror, my gaze fixed on the reflection staring back at me. Who was this woman and what did she do with Madalina Crud?Carrie had chosen for me a stunning long dress with bare shoulders in the shades of dark red. It was definitely a departure from my usual style of leather pants and milita
Irresistible Temptations Excitement and nervousness
When I first learned about Carrie's idea to throw a big welcome party for Madalina, I was a little hesitant. Ever since we arrived at my pack, my mate has faced a barrage of unwarranted prejudice due to her different background. No one dared to confront her or me directly, but the silent whispers were there. People stared. At me. At her.It was mostly due to all those horrible crimes her family was responsible for. Her family had tortured lone wolves, treating them like slaves. Sadly, even my mate took part in it, blindly manipulated by her parents. Though with each new day, I could see how much she regretted all her past actions. I may have gotten a second chance at love, but Madalina got her second chance at normal life. And she was going to prove to everyone that she no longer was the ruthless, stone-cold werewolf slayer.The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the preparations for the grand evening were in full swing.

Irresistible Temptations Unwelcome news
Unwelcome newsAIDENUpon Jerome's resignation, I was faced with an enormous workload that made me truly grasp the extent of his responsibilities on my behalf. An Alpha was like a lost puppy without his Beta. Despite Scott shadowing Jerome for many years, he struggled to fulfill the role with the same efficiency. Regrettably, Scott was caught between his previous Gamma duties and attempting to assume the Beta position. Our pack was huge in size, and leading it was never meant to be a solitary endeavor. It necessitated a cohesive team, which, unfortunately, I did not have.Days started to merge, and I couldn't tell the difference between light and dark, granting me less and less time for my mate. And I hated it. I hated leaving Maddie alone, even though I could count on Carrie to keep her company. But it would be irresponsible of me to just ignore the escalating situation in my pack and simply lock myself in the room with my gorgeous woman. I was an Alpha and sometimes I needed to put
Irresistible Temptations The vampire's mark
Notre DameMADALINAIt has been a whole week since I moved to Black Forest pack, but nothing has changed significantly.My mate was incredibly busy, leaving our room early in the morning and returning at night. His Beta stepped down and he now had only his Gamma to support him. Aiden's father tried to help too, but it wasn't common practice to see a retired Alpha interfering in the pack's business. Moreover, it would shed a bad light on Aiden, putting him in the position of not being competent enough to lead the pack if daddy needed to hold his hand.. Eventually, it would motivate ambitious males outside the pack to come and conquer the place, seeing Aiden as a weak element that could be easily challenged and eliminated. Status was everything in the werewolf's world.Aiden spent the entire week searching for a proper candidate for the Gamma position. He wanted to promote the current Gamma to Beta. That man seemed to be one of a few who were loyal to Aiden and openly supported him desp
Irresistible Temptations So attractive
"Go back to your own kind. Leave our pack before facing further humiliation."I cleared my throat before speaking, controlling the fiery rage that tortured me. Oh, the fantasies that danced in my mind - to give her a taste of her own venomous words, to unleash that never-ending thirst in me, and sink my fangs deep in her flesh until she begged for her life. To punch that nasty mouth and show her true fear.But could I afford such scandal on my first day among werewolves? As much as I wished to make her pay, I concluded she simply wasn't worth the trouble with my mate. I came here to be a better person.Hence, I put my old habits aside and kept the fight on a verbal level."Oh, wow, thank you so much for your unsolicited prophecy! How fortunate I am to have you... whoever you are, enlighten me about my inevitable fate. Your concern for my well-being and humiliation is truly heartwarming. Clearly, your wisdom knows no bounds. Perhaps I should bow down and seek your guidance on all life

Fire tangoMADALINANerves fluttered in my stomach when his family first approached me. Will they grimace in disgust? Will they be bothered by the presence of a vampire? I had all those questions clawing at my mind, terrifying me. But what I experienced... it was something entirely unexpected.In a flurry of introductions and warm smiles, my unease began to dissipate. I stared at Aiden's mother, who exuded a genuine kindness which I found both comforting and bewildering. Not like my own mother, who only veiled her real personality under a sweet, innocent face. My mother carried the mask of kindness, pretending to be a good person, a victim of horrible crimes for which, after all, she was primarily responsible. But the warmth in Amelia's eyes and the way she squeezed my hand indicated she was genuinely happy for her son and accepted me as I was.Aiden's sister, Carrie, was a vibrant young woman. Her presence required attention as she effortlessly owned the room with her wild and loud p
Irresistible Temptations Dislike her
"I'll get some drinks. It's time to celebrate." Carrie winked at us and rushed to one of the Omegas, splashing instructions."Okay, I guess." Maddie placed a light kiss on my lips to ensure me she would manage to survive my family. I didn't need to worry about her. My mate wasn't any shy damsel in distress. If anyone annoyed her, she would deal with it. I promised her not to be away for long and left her with mom and Carrie.On the way to my office, I met my dad. He had arrived at Black Forest pack before us."Jerome knows." He informed me shortly. I sighed, feeling how a big lump formed in my throat. My Beta had already learned about the death of his son.~~~~~~~"We are currently providing shelter for over a hundred lone wolves. The majority of them have already applied for asylum but some haven't decided yet. They still consider returning to their original village once all is settled. Anyhow, we can't accommodate them all permanently. We are running short on resources. But the disc
Irresistible Temptations Bitter toll
. Bitter tollAIDENMadalina squeezed my hand when we passed through the main gate to my pack. The Black Forest pack was one of the largest packs in Yukon, providing a home to thousands of people, mostly werewolves. We had several witches among us, as well as humans. Overall, it was a great place to live in. Despite the isolation within the mountains, our civilization thrived.The air carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers, intermingled with the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals waffling from the houses. The streets were alive with the joyous spirit of community, as people strolled leisurely, their smiles radiant and genuine. Children reveled in their innocence, their laughter echoing through the pathways, while the sun cast a gentle glow upon their carefree games.We lived in peace, surrounded by beautiful nature, and I couldn't wait to show it all to my beautiful mate. Therefore, I was stunned when we finally arrived at my pack and the streets were empty. Gone was also the melo
Irresistible Temptations Raindrops farewell
Raindrops farewellAIDENI was glad that my mate agreed to live with me in my pack. I understood the depth of sacrifices she had undertaken to be with me. Her departure from her family was due to forbidden love and it led to her being estranged by her own parents. They cut off any future physical contact with her and although she tried to be strong and not to show it, I knew it bothered her tremendously. At least her brother, despite being a sick psychopath, stood by her side.And now, I was going to be her family and I would do anything to make her happy.When I returned to the safe house together with Madalina, the place was emptied. Only my father stayed with a couple of soldiers. He was eager to meet my mate and shook her hand a bit too enthusiastically that I had to remind him to keep it cool. As surprising as it was, my dad was very open-minded and didn't care about Madalina's origin. I assumed after all he had to go through in his life, he understood how precious true love was.
