My eyes open with difficulty, although I seem to be lying on clouds, with a delicious warmth enveloping my body. I blink a few times, trying to adjust my eyes to the comfortable darkness of the room. Then I noticed that this isn't my ceiling.
This is not my room.
I look down at my body and notice as well that there's also a muscular arm around my waist… my naked waist.
I am naked.
Oh my Gosh.
The memories come flooding back, how Jasper's kiss was able to give me goosebumps and bring unknown sensations, how his delicious scent seemed and still seems to be impregnated into my skin. His touch, his lips sliding up my neck, reaching my breasts, which he kissed with the same desire as my lips, and left me completely aroused… ready to receive him right there, in the limousine.
But soon I was in his house, on his lap, while he climbed the stairs and kissed me.
The next moment, I was already on his bed, watching the way he unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his defined six-pack abs… And he leaned over me, kissing my neck as he took off my dress. I bit my lips as his hands went to my panties, that he pulled it tight, making it slip easily between my legs. Before he leaned over me, Jasper pulled off his own pants, revealing his hard-on.
And, well…
They say that the first-time hurts… That doesn't apply to me.
Being taken by Jasper was the best feeling of my life. The feeling of being filled by him brought me immediate pleasure, and he savored all my moans as he took me gently. I don't know if he realized that I was a virgin, but I remember him saying in a husky voice, between his own moans, “You're so tight, Scarlett…”
I felt pleasure hearing my name coming out of his lips so passionately and lustfully. In his kisses, his touch, and most of all, in how he filled me completely. The climax came so many times that I lost count, just as I know he also reached the apex more than twice. Maybe the fire burning in our bodies was too intense for both of us to end the touch. Or we simply didn't want to interrupt this moment that was meant to last only one night.
Yes, this is only a one-night stand.
Now that I have opened my eyes and find myself in the silence of the early morning, I don't feel the fire burning inside me, neither of anger nor of lust… only regret eating me up.
I look away, finding Jasper's sleeping face, which appears to be in a deep sleep. His eyelashes are long, and his lips perfectly drawn. And for a moment I felt sorry to let go of his touch, of his embrace that's so warm.
But we're just strangers, and nothing more.
Slowly, I release myself from his grip, hoping to the heavens that Jasper doesn't wake up. Please, please don't wake up.
I pick up my clothes from the floor and get dressed quickly, trying to keep as still as possible. Then, before I left that huge room, I looked over my eyes, feeling a slight pain in my chest for leaving him like this.
Should I leave a note?
No… It's better if we go our separate ways. In any case, we won't see each other again.
And so, I leave… With the sun already starting to rise on the horizon, get through the huge windows of that big house.

I yawn, walking to school with slow steps. My whole body hurts, and my head aches even more. Fortunately, I had time to return to the dormitory and get ready quickly before the first class started.
I sip my hot coffee, already catching sight of the big oak tree in front of the building. And I hear the bell ring, pointing that class is about to begin. So, I pour it all out in one gulp, almost burning my throat.
Damn.
I quicken my pace, almost running. Fortunately, I managed to get inside and catch the almost empty halls… And as I enter the class, I find that all the students are seated, but the teacher has not yet arrived.
I pass through the back, getting a confused look from Lily, my best friend — and only friend, to be honest. She has a confused look on her face, probably wondering what happened to make me late, since it doesn't happen, well… never.
I give a shy smile and sit in the back, trying not to be noticed.
And as I sit down, the teacher enters the class with a cheerful expression… An expression that doesn't match my day, or my mood at all…
Then I finally point out that, following the teacher, there's a tall, strong young man… a familiar face.
Extremely familiar.
Who just a few hours ago, I saw naked.
“Good morning, class! We have a new student… Would you like to introduce yourself?” The teacher turns to the boy, and I immediately wilt in my chair, feeling my heart pound heavily in my chest.
“My name is Jasper Roosevelt… Nice to meet you.”
I hear the murmurs from the girls in my classroom, and honestly, I can understand. Jasper is… just hot.
I look away, feeling my face burn.
“You can sit anywhere you want, Jasper.” The teacher says, pointing to the rest of the room.
Jasper gets off the platform and walks to the back of the room, exactly in my direction. There are some empty chairs in the front, on the other side, in the middle… Why is he coming all the way here?
“Can I sit here?” I hear Jasper's melodic voice sound close, very close to me.
I raise my eyes, noticing that he’s leaning toward me, pulling out the chair that is exactly next to me. And not only that... He’s smiling.
“Yes, of course….” I say awkwardly, turning my face away. I try not to notice that several people are staring at us, especially the girls who don't look so happy with Jasper choosing to sit next to me, of all places.
And soon, he’s pulling his chair slightly closer to mine. Our arms are a few inches apart, which surprises me and makes me feel a bit uneasy; I didn't know that the seats in this place were so close together. With a quick glance, I realize that part of that is because Jasper is actually pretty big, and doesn't look like a student at all.
I swallow hard, trying to focus on the teacher's words and ignore that Jasper is looking right at me. And by the smile on his lips, I know that he’s enjoying my anxiety.
I can’t believe my one-night-stand is a new student in my class!
He won’t let anyone know about our relationship… right?
The journey was very smooth, but as Jasper had already said, his town is really in the countryside. The hours we spent on the road were long, but with the music on the radio and our silly banter, the time passed so quickly that I hardly noticed.As we drove further into the interior of the state, the denser the pine forest became. I felt anxious about being swallowed up by the green landscape, but whenever uncertainty took over my mind, I would look at Jasper, his serene countenance, his silly smile that he always gave when he noticed my eyes on him.And every time our gazes met, butterflies danced in my stomach."We're almost there..." He says, catching my eye, but he keeps his eyes fixed on the road and his hands firmly on the steering wheel, "Keep looking, Reddy... you're about to see the biggest, most beautiful lake of your life."Anticipation burns in me and, as he opens the roof of the car, the wind starts to ruffle my hair. I lean over the door, my eyes fixed on the horizon...
"It's really a shame to lose you, Miss Davis... But we understand your decision." Dean says, looking at me with a sympathetic expression. He's not an easy man to show emotion to, but I can sense that he's really sad about losing me. "You're one of the best students at this college, and you've just brought home a trophy for our institution... Come to think of it, isn't there any way to change your mind?"I give a soft smile, "I'm afraid not."He returns my smile and then scratches his gray beard, "Well, at least I tried.""Thank you for everything you've done for me." I say, with true gratitude shining in my eyes. "I'll go my own way from now on, but I'll always carry the kindness you and the teachers have shown me."I notice emotion reflecting in his eyes, wetting his eyelashes so discreetly that I hardly notice it. If it hadn't been for my even sharper senses, I wouldn't have noticed."Go on, child... I wish you the best."Now I'm the one fighting emotion as I say goodbye to him and
His words leave me stunned, or maybe it's the influence Jasper has over me that leaves my mind blank... I don't know, I just give in completely. His hot kisses down my neck, up my jaw and once again finding my lips make my entrance burn even hotter.Jasper's tongue seeks mine in a hungry intertwining as his hands move my hips again, encouraging me to ride him again. I obey, giving in to the rhythm he imposes both in the kiss and in the way I'm jerking my hips, rolling my belly, colliding our skins that meet in a hollow sound.I feel an intense pleasure creeping up on me, chilling my skin whenever the tip hits the sensitive spot inside me. And maybe this feeling is good for Jasper too, because he's moaning hoarsely and breathing heavier and heavier..."I can't stand it, Reddy..." He says suddenly, thrusting his hips up and pulling all the hard-on out of me, eliciting a grunt from me. "I've already been too passive with you."Again, I don't quite understand his words, but his movements
Jasper looks at me with such intensity that he steals my breath.His hands are trailing gently up my arm, his fingers rubbing so softly that my skin shivers. And when his husky voice reaches my ears, I shudder completely..."Are you sure you want this...? Maybe you don't know the weight of your words."I bite my lip, holding our eye contact."Yes, I'm sure..." I notice his eyes lower to my lips, and his breathing becomes short, "I want to be with you, Jasper... No matter what."He places his hand on the back of my neck, stroking my jaw with his thumb, alternating his gaze between my eyes and my parted lips. Taking care not to touch the wound caused by Alice, with the discreet bandage he himself put on me, Jasper pulls my face even closer to his, making our breaths one.And with a simple brush of his lips, he gives me a light kiss, almost as if he's experiencing the sensation of touching them, even though it's already so familiar. His tongue rubs against my mouth, but never quite enter
Even though it wasn't my first time in Jasper's house, it still felt like it.I don't remember if I was surprised by its size or if I was more concerned with giving myself over completely to the sensations it caused in me and I didn't understand. I don't know if I got attached to the details, to the glass walls that don't prevent the full moon from entering and illuminating us. It's almost as if he wasn't afraid of it... so different from me that, ever since I got here, I've been cowering in a dark, secluded corner.With a blanket around my shoulders, I search for warmth, but it doesn't fully warm me because I'm still shivering, with thin snarls escaping my lips, even though I fight so hard to suppress them.Jasper is in the kitchen, making us something to eat. I said I wasn't hungry, but he insisted on making something, since I haven't eaten anything decent all day. I considered accompanying him to the kitchen, but my legs are too weak to support this body of mine. And I confess, I'm
I take a deep breath before opening the door to my room. Now that I'm really so close to returning to reality, it feels like a small eternity has passed, not just seven days. And now I'm faced with this strange familiarity, a feeling of not belonging, of no longer fitting in here.But I gather my courage and turn the knob, opening the door, smelling the familiar scent of my perfume mixed with Lily's. I finally enter the room. And when I finally enter the room, I'm greeted by a sudden hug from my friend that almost makes us fall over. I let my laughter echo as I hold onto the door, feeling her firm and warm embrace... I confess, Lily is certainly the only thing I've missed in this place."Letty! Argh, I've missed you so much!" She squeezes me even tighter, pressing our cheeks together, "Tell me everything! Tell me every detail! Where's the medal? I need to see it!""You don't even know if I won..." I giggle, and she suddenly pulls away, holding me by the arms."But I have no doubt that
