Enjoy this chapter! xoxo
MILES He'd kissed me again. I didn't even have to ask him. Dominic just put his lips against mine, putting out my fury with the softness of his kiss. He kissed me until I leaned into him and then abruptly pulled away, walking all the way out of my room. I stood there shocked. What the hell had just happened? We were talking, and then fighting, and then ended it with kissing. 'No, Miles. You're wrong. You're everything.' What had he meant by that? Everything as a person? Everything to him? I still was standing there, frozen in the bathroom when he came back, and sat me back on the toilet to rebandage my back without saying another word. When he was done, he put my first aid kit up and left. My head started to hurt, so I just went and laid down. I tried sleeping, but his words just kept echoing in my mind over and over again. I'd never been told that before. Not even by Kenzie, who tried every single day to remind me that I was loved. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep with
DOM*WARNING SEXUAL CONTENTIt was unsettling.Marcus and I had just made it to the manor after practice on Friday, dragging ourselves up the stairs to sit on our asses and relax in my room, when he stopped at Miles's door and rapped on it before peeking his head in. I went past him, straight to my room, trying to ignore the fact that he comfortably let himself in her room. I didn't know when Marcus and Miles had gotten so close, but I didn't like it. She didn't go to classes this week at all, and my father had been disappointed she hadn't shown up for her morning bagels.I was disappointed.But then Marcus kept showing up, and not for me either. He was going in and out of Miles's room, never for too long but still going in none the less.I didn't want to ask about it for the simple fact that I wouldn't give Marcus the satisfaction of seeing me irked. Or jealous. He'd give me shit about it. I halfway thought he was doing on purpose just to get a rise out of me.I wouldn't give in. Ev
MILES Slap! The sharp sting of my mother's hand fizzled on my cheek. "What did you say?" Her voice was so low I felt it came from hell itself. I swallowed before turning my head back to face her. I knew she wouldn't take the news well. I had anticipated it. She never liked it when I acted on my own. It made me seem too... independent. "I said, I can't go to dinner. I have to work." I said, my voice monotone. Damn. I probably should have lied, but it just slipped out. This morning, she told me about having dinner with her new fiance tomorrow. Apparently, he wanted to meet the daughter of the love of his life. How he hadn't seen past my mother's vile nature was beyond me. Either way, I didn't care to go. It wasn't as if she actually cared for me. I wasn't good at pretending we were some happy mother daughter family of two. I'd flinch when she touched me, faking affection. She's always hated me and never let me forget it. I'd been working at a diner across the tracks for t
MILES Fuck me. I couldn't tell if it was my shock or a plea. I couldn't even focus on the warning in Kenzie's tone as the tall man with dark hair and golden eyes approached me. He had broad shoulders and a slim waist underneath a black t-shirt, and I couldn't tell if his thighs matched his arms under his dark jeans. Definitely an athlete. Maybe football? The nicely toned muscles of his chest and arms had me guessing that it was probably football. As he stood a foot away from me, being a whole head taller, I hoped I wasn't drooling. I stared up at him and held out my hand. "Miles," I said, redoing my introduction, but he just stared at my hand, crossing his bulging arms. Broody, eh? I liked that. I closed my hand, pulling it back. Kenzie pulled on my arm. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I didn't miss the worry laced in her voice. I nodded my head, patting her hand with mine. "Absolutely." She stepped back, giving me room. Dominic, I think, stepped forward, leaning towa
MILES* WARNING EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT and SHOW OF ANXIETY* I stood hunched over, laughing my ass off in the silent game room. I probably looked like a mad woman. I laughed even harder at the confused face Dominic was making. Marcus looked like he was enjoying the show, and Kenzie just looked straight up concerned. For a moment, I was worried I couldn't stop, but I finally caught my breath. "Ah shit." I said breathlessly. "Thanks for that. I haven't had a good laugh in years." I took my flannel off and used what wasn't wet to dry my face when I heard more gasps and whispers. I looked around. What now? "Miles..." I heard Kenzie say as she grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me around. "That fucking monster." Shit. I'd forgotten about those. I closed my eyes for a moment before taking my forty dollars and putting the bills in my pocket. I shoved the two hundred at Dominic's hard chest. He looked wary, like he wasn't quite sure what to do now. "Here, I don't want your 'chump ch
MILES * WARNING EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT* I bucked my hips as Dominic rubbed his length between the lips of my cunt, soaking my thong. It felt so good. I wanted more. I wish he'd hurry. I was going to have another full-blown panic attack if he didn't get inside me right now. Whimpering, I begged. "Please! Just put it in." "So eager," he rumbled in that deep voice that made my body shiver. "Next time, I'll take my sweet time with you." Shlick, shlick. "I'll taste you." Shlick, shlick. "Feel you with my fingers until you beg like a dog in heat." My heart thundered at his promise. At the way his golden eyes flashed with heat so hot I'd thought I'd melt. It was cute that he thought there would be a next time. I'd probably never see him again. Once I turned 18, I was out of here. But I wouldn't deny myself this pleasure. I sat up and pulled him close. "I'll give you whatever you want. Just fuck me already," I said against his lips. He growled before shoving me back down, moving my t
MILES If my mother was angry that I never came home last night, she sure didn't show it. After finding my shorts in the middle of the garden at Dominic's mansion, I checked my phone. There wasn't a single message from her, which had me freaking out. It was scarier when she was silent. I did, however, have 30 missed calls and 103 unread messages from Kenzie. Who the hell sends that many text messages? Finding my way out of the mansion to catch a bus home, I skimmed through them.Kenzie: Where the fuck are you? Kenzie: Are u OK? Kenzie: I SWEAR IF YOU DONT ANSWER MY FUCKING PHONE CALL, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE!!!! I quickly dialed her number. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" I closed my eyes, holding the phone away from my ear as she yelled at me. "Aren't you gonna ask if I'm okay?" I ask, trying to keep my tone light. "Are you okay?""Never better.""Good. Now get your ass here so I can kick it!" Overbearing mother: activated. She was always dramatic when it came to me. It was nothing
MILES As I finished my vegetables, I tried working on the potatoes. My mouth was telling me they were so buttery and just melted in on my tongue, but my brain said it tasted like sand paper. Every second felt like an hour. I told myself that last night wasn't my fault. Well, the fucking was my fault but I didn't know Dominic's dad was going to marry my mom. I didn't make it my mission to know who people were and who they knew. I didn't even like people. Plus, couldn't he see how I was just as surprised as he was? Damn it. He was still just as handsome as yesterday dressed in black slacks and a white dress shirt. It made me sick thinking that my mother and I had the same preference since Dominic was the spitting image of his father. Just because we were going to be step siblings didn't mean we were actually related. We could actually sneak off and- No! no. I couldn't think like that. It was gross. Wasn't it? "So Miles, your mother tells me you graduated at the top of your class.
