While we're walking to the court, I look proudly at the wristband Scarlett gave me. My heart warms funnily because of something so silly… It's the first time I've ever felt this way.Hah, honestly… what I want most is to put this game aside and take her back to the hotel-My thoughts are abruptly interrupted when I feel a hand pull me by the arm, dangerously close to my wristband. It makes my blood boil and I have to control the growl that threatens to escape from the back of my throat.I close my eyes and take a deep breath because I don't have to look at to know who dares to act this way.Bryan is holding my arm tightly. His grip is firm, and I know he's trying his hardest to put his strength into it, and doesn't seem to care if he hurts me before the game — in fact, he seems to want to hurt me. But he will need a lot more than this if he wants to cause me any pain. Even his little punch caused me nothing but tickles… though I need to thank him for that… after all, thanks to his act
Honestly, I don't know what happened.When the whistle blows at the end of the last quarter, our defeat is decreed.… Yes. We have lost.We just drag ourselves off the court, with our shoulders slumped and our spirits so low they're almost touching the ground. The coach's expression isn't the best either… he looks furious, but doesn't say a word… until we reach the locker room-“What the hell was that?” The coach shouts, making the vein in his neck pop and pulse strongly; there are even droplets of saliva escaping out of his mouth. “What the fuck was that play?”It was a chain reaction… a domino effect. As Bryan made his ridiculous mistakes and the adversaries' baskets went in, the whole team began to get nervous and desperate. Eventually, all the other players started to perform poorly. It really was a pitiful game.“Don't you know how to handle pressure?” The coach shouts even more, beating his chest roughly. “Are you fucking little girls to get worked up over a little pressure?”I
Jasper has been acting strange ever since we got back to the hotel… I never imagined he would be so shaken up by the team's defeat. It was a surprise to me too, especially because Bryan seemed different, too absorbed. His mistakes shook the team and led them to their downfall.It makes me impatient in a way.Jasper opens the bathroom door, stepping out of the shower in shorts that has seemingly thin fabric and bare chest. Inevitably, my eyes are drawn to the curves the six packs make on his abs. And I can't help but notice the drops of water trickling down his skin, following a dangerous path that gets lost in the waistband of her shorts….Stop it, Scarlett!I force myself to raise my eyes, watching the clumsy way Jasper rubs the towel through his straight black hair, so soft I can still feel it in the palm of my hand. He also rests his eyes on me and gives me a subtle smile.“Why are you looking at me like that?” He asks suddenly, making my face heat up.“L- Like what?” I stammer, my
Just like the first time I met Jasper at that club, I naturally feel drawn to him… and even though reason screams inside my head that we shouldn't be doing this, I can't help but feel my entrance burn with anticipation.He rests the soles of my feet on his abs and closes my legs slightly, finishing removing the clothing that lie between us. Then, Jasper kisses the corner of my lips and places the tip of his dick against my clit.I swallow a moan that makes him close his eyes.Slowly, with truly torturous slowness, he guides the tip down, until it finally finds my soaked entrance. And this time, it's his turn to moan low, with his breathing getting heavier.“Can I put the tip in?” Jasper asks huskily, his voice so needy it makes me shudder. And when I nod, he doesn't hesitate for a single sec — and thrusts his hips forward slightly, starting to drive the dick into me.I throw my head back, biting my lips, feeling a wave of i
Jasper turns me sharply, sticking my belly onto the mattress, and with firm hands, he pulls my hips up, forcing me to keep my hips up, resting my head and arms on the bed.I bite my lips, delighting in the way he runs his whole hand down my back, his rough palm sliding down back to my ass.“You're so hot…” He murmurs low, caressing my body carefully, almost like I'm something precious. “Feeling you is the best thing in the world, Reddy.”I close my eyes, feeling the goosebumps on my skin.“I can't forget… ever since that night at the club, you've been on my mind all the fucking time…” He confesses, bringing an intense heat to my chest and entrance that pulses with anticipation. “I keep wondering how I can make you mine.”Before I can even comprehend his words, Jasper burrows deep into me again, in a deeper penetration… so deep that I moan loudly, completely forgetting that
The third stage of the competition, as expected, managed to be even more difficult... Since out of the forty people who competed, only ten will advance in the competition. This time, we were not divided into groups or separated into rooms. The test was applied in the same way and, just like the previous one, there was a huge timer.Only ten people - that's real pressure.Because of my performance yesterday, I thought I would feel fearful about the result and maybe doubt myself, but my body is so light, my mind so clear and calm... somehow I knew I would get through it.And to my real surprise, I was the second to finish the five even more complex questions - it was exactly seventeen minutes and fifty-three seconds. Kevin was fourth, with twenty-three minutes. I was happy for both of us... even though I knew that one day we might face each other. But it's best to leave these worries for when they actually happen. At least, that's how I'd like to take things from now on.Not least becau
"What are you two doing?" Jasper asks, even though his eyes are on Bryan. He quickly walks over and stops beside me, running his hand down my lower back and holding me close to his body. Even though this is a clear act of possessiveness, I kind of like it...."Just settling things between us..." Bryan says looking at me softly. "Our breakup was pretty messy, I wanted to apologize for what I did and said... I can understand that I was an idiot now.""Really?" Jasper tries hard to look like he doesn't care, but I feel his hand waver on my waist.Bryan gives a cynical smile, and I feel the tension building here...."Jasper." I call out softly, lifting my face to look at him, and I feel my chest warm as he looks back at me. "You guys can't miss this one, okay...?""Yes, Reddy. I'll win it for you." Jasper leans in to kiss me, but Bryan clears his throat, and that causes me to lower my head and his lips brush against my forehead... My face is burning so bad, damn it."Let's go to the court
I know it's extremely rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversation... But I can't help it.I approach them discreetly, treading as lightly as possible, and when I can spy on them, I just hide behind the wall, making sure they can't see me even if they turn that way.My heart is beating desperately against my chest in a mix of anxiety and adrenaline when I hear Bryan's voice a little louder, "I've been putting this off for a while now, so we should just put an end to it soon.""An end?" Alice asks in her calm, surprisingly relaxed voice. Almost as if she didn't give a damn."For you and me."There is a long moment of silence that makes me want to bite my nails."What do you mean make an end for you and me?" Her voice sounds sharper this time, "This is no time for jokes, Bryan.""I'm quite serious now, Alice."She gives a sarcastic laugh, "You can't be serious."Another long moment of silence."It's because of that girl, isn't it?" Now Alice sounds really shaken... her voice even wa
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
It's amazing how a single week can seem so long, so frantic, and change an entire life.Seven days have passed since we arrived here in search of victory in the competitions. And today, with the gold medals around our necks, we returned to our city, to the campus I've made my home. On this bus, which drives calmly along the long roads, we expected to be celebrating our victories. But there is nothing but a deep silence, a discomfort that hangs in the air, suffocating me...All because Alice remains in hospital.The girls who were with Alice and ran away when things got complicated have isolated themselves in the back seats, without the courage to look at me directly or talk to anyone else. In fact, they seem to be afraid of me. Well, I can't blame them, I really was responsible for the incident, for the rumors that spread like wildfire. And although I haven't been directly accused of doing it, I know that it will only be a matter of time before those girls say what happened.But who w
I watch that scene with genuine surprise and awe. What I imagined I had seen at the beginning of our story is actually happening right before my eyes. The face of a wolf slowly begins to take shape, just as its muscles peel away, moving under the skin, just as I remember mine doing.Slowly, the tall, strong body leaning forward transforms, tearing even the pants it was wearing. His skin is covered in a black fur, so dark that it robs me of air. Before my eyes, Jasper transforms into a wolf so majestic and large that, inevitably, I shrink as far as I can into the bathtub, hugging my trembling body to the point where my chin quivers.Sitting on his hind legs, Jasper — or this wolf — stares at me with those bright yellow eyes. He doesn't move, not a single muscle... all I can notice is his chest rising and falling with his calm breathing.And I don't sense any hostility in him, in his gaze that seems almost... understandable?I'm still trembling while I slowly approach, resting my breast
I open my eyes, my eyelids heavy... No, actually my whole body is heavy, but it seems to sink into the warm, cozy water. Gradually, my vision gets used to it and blurs, and the scenery that has become familiar over the last week unfolds before me. I blink a few times, the light bothering me, then my eyes go down to my body submerged in the tub... and Jasper's hands rubbing my arms.I move my gaze to him, slowly, almost sleepily... my thoughts are still searching for order, I'm still trying to understand what's going on and, above all, when I got back to the hotel. So I open my strangely parched lips and try to say something, but my throat is dry, and my voice won't come out.“It's okay, Reddy...” Jasper brings his wet hand up to my face, rubbing his thumb over my cheek, as if wiping away a stain. “It's all right now.”I clear my throat, trying to swallow down the knot that's formed preventing me from expressing these doubts, and then I struggle to say, in a thin, flawed voice, “What..
