Well, to hell with the rest of the day. I know what I’m doing. It’s being right here in this moment with Neil as we keep our eyes on each other. Our breaths escape us soft, yet loud in the otherwise quiet room. The only other noise is the occasional squelch of spit on Neil’s hand, or my pussy drippi
“If you are expecting me to apologize, you will be disappointed,” Neil says. “I deserve to know what’s going on,” I say, anger pulsing through me. “You don’t deserve to be buried under stress,” Neil says. He meets my anger with a cool attitude. The flames of annoyance flickering off me don’t eve

“No,” Archer says with a hint of restrained fury making his voice dark and deep. “Absolutely fucking not.” “It’s the best idea,” I say. Now is likely the only chance I have to plead my case. “You know how proud he is. Me beating him last time really ruffled his feathers. He’d jump at the chance to
It’s all so surreal, so different from my life before, and the life I am sure to lead after. Archer turns in the hallway, away from his own room. He takes me to mine instead. Curious. Does he intend to kiss me, then abandon me again? I’m not going to just stand here and let that happen. “Arche
