Chapter 1

Thalia

“You are a slut.”

The tiny nagging voice in my head judged me. I lost count of how many times it has judged me in the past week. Not like I disagreed with her or anything. If I am being honest. I might be a slut.

Yeah, why else would I have slept with two different men on two different nights within a week?

Scrap that, within two nights! It still felt like a surreal experience for me and if I didn’t have the marks on the bridge between my neck and shoulder, I would have concluded that I dreamt it.

“It wasn't a dream. It really happened.”

I whispered as I put the finishing touches to my makeup. It was the first day of the new school year and honestly, I just want this year to run through so that I will be in my finals. I am so tired of school and just want to run away but I can’t do that.

“You can’t afford to not graduate.”

I told myself. If I ever don't graduate, I am damn sure my parents will disown me. They have been hinting at it for years now.

The only thing still keeping within the family register is my academy excellence and that’s why I try so hard to protect it.

I have been the black sheep of my family for as long as I can remember and it all because I chose not to let my parents lord over my life

“Lia? Why are you still there? We are so late and I heard the new history professor is hot. His class is in twenty minutes and I don’t want to miss it.”

Emily, my roommate and only friend said. I rolled my eyes and got up. I looked at myself in the mirror again.

My finger subconsciously went to mark on my right neck and I let out a small gasp as the tingling feeling washed over my body again.

I don’t even know what it means but I just know each time I touch the marks that my lovers put on my body, I feel tingles and get horny as fuck.

I didn’t want to overthink things and make it what it wasn’t. It has been three weeks. Three whole damn weeks later and I still can’t forget those nights.

The first time, I had gone clubbing with Emily and her other friends and then I had wandered off and met the hottest guys ever.

We hit off immediately and even though I am the careful kind of woman, I still agreed to go back to his hotel room with him and fuck! I don’t regret it at all.

It had been the best night of my life. Okay, one of the best nights because the next night turned out to be another best night of my life.

I wish I at least knew the names of my hot lovers but I had been too in heat while in their presence to even think of asking their names and both times, I woke up alone. Fucking alone and with no notes whatsoever.

They did leave something behind though, their marks and now I just feel that I can’t be with other men because they just don’t do it as my two hot lovers do.

That wasn’t even the highlight of what happened during the break, no. I got asked out by my course rep. Steve. I tried to turn him down but he told me to think about it.

Maybe if I hadn’t slept with two hot older men, I would have considered his offer but now? I couldn’t see myself giving him a chance.

“You should. It will take your mind off the forbidden.”

My inner voice advised. I couldn’t see myself taking that advice. I really don’t want to forget them. I want to meet one, both of them again. Maybe have another night with them. Maybe that will cure the spell they cast on me.

“Or you could give Steve a chance and get back to normal life.”

I sighed heavily. Maybe I should. It wouldn’t be so bad. I mean, Steve wasn’t a bad guy to begin with. He was hot but not my two hot lovers’ kind of hot.

“What are you thinking about? We should leave right now, Lia.”

Emily asked me while we rode to school. I shook my head without answering and went right back to thinking. It didn't take long for us to arrive at school. I saw Steve and for some reason, my heart skipped a beat. He beckoned me over and I had no choice but to go to him.

“Hey, beautiful, how was the rest of your break?”

I sighed inwardly. I didn’t want to have the conversation with him.

“Fine,”

I told him. Hoping that he would sense my disinterest and give up but he didn’t take the hint.

“Have you thought about what I told you?”

I looked at him and sighed deeply.

“Steve,”

“You don’t have to answer now, I can wait. Just don’t say no.”

He said before I could turn him down. I let out another sigh. How do I tell him that I can’t accept him? I couldn’t accept him because I was currently hooked on two mysterious men I slept with. I couldn’t tell him that so I am just going to have to turn him down.

“Steve, I am sorry but I ca---”

I didn’t get to finish what I had to say because a loud, bold, commanding voice stopped me.

“Hello, student, I am your new professor. My name is Lucas Thorne and I would like to say that it’s nice to meet you all.”

That voice. It sounded so familiar. I looked up and my breath caught in my throat. I recognized him immediately and my heart jumped when our eyes met.
