"Where were you?" Nat asks as I approach our table in the cafeteria. "Did you forget you were supposed to meet us at the library?"My heart pounds unevenly in my chest as I avoid her gaze. "I got sent to detention," I lie, feeling sick to my stomach.Alex is sitting next to her with his arm draped over her shoulders. A cruel smirk twists onto his lips. "I never took you for a rebel, Sidorov."I glare at him, a part of me wishing things hadn't changed between them. Granted, I'm thankful that Nat is no longer subjected to his torment, but now we have to endure his presence at every fucking meal. "Shut up, Alex." I sit down in my usual seat opposite them.Flashbacks of what I did with Professor Luigi keep recurring over and over, and the stinging cuts I had to bandage beneath my shirt are an ever-present reminder. I ran as fast as I could from that basement all the way back to my dorm room, thankful I didn't run into anyone I knew. Or at least, no one who paid me any attention.The shirt
"I'll be right back," I say, standing with my tray to return it and grab a dessert, when Professor Luigi walks in through the entrance, heading straight into my path.I grind my teeth together and keep my eyes on the floor, having no intention of looking at him after what happened. He must think I'm pathetic, running away like a coward, unable to face the darkness inside of me and what it means. Hastening my steps, I rush toward the station for dirty dishes and put my tray down.And that's when I feel a hand grab my elbow hard. "Do you think you can just run away from me?"I swallow hard and glance at the man I was trying to avoid, swallowing hard when I see the furious expression on his face. Blaine Luigi is so often expressionless, other than when he has the chance to punish someone. "Let go of my arm," I say, yanking it from his grasp."Answer me, Azira."I glare at him, as he doesn't have the right to accost me in the cafeteria and talk about something that never should have happe
I grind my teeth together as Azira walks into the classroom without a glance in my direction. The blood lust she ignited in me can't be quelled and yet she's given me the cold shoulder ever since we fucked.I thought it was supposed to be the virgin that gets hooked on the person who takes it after the first fuck, not the other way around. Clearing my throat, I force my attention away from the bane of my existence and get out the textbook for the anatomy class. It's been an entire week since we took things too far and then she ran, too scared to face the truth.That she's as fucked up as me.I tried to make it clear to her she will not be able to run from this that easily in the cafeteria the very evening after I claimed her virginity, but she clearly hasn't taken me seriously. Since then, I haven't had the opportunity to get her alone.I showed her my true colors and what makes me tick and the fact is she loved every damn second of it until the endorphins wore off. And then she took
It feels like a lifetime before the bell chimes and the students get up, except for Azira. I watch her as she frowns at her essay on the table, avoiding glancing at me.I watch the students exiting the classroom, waiting for the last one to fuck off and leave me alone with my not so innocent conquest. Once the door clicks shut, I allow myself to return my attention to Azira.She's now staring at me with a vacant look in her eyes, waiting for me to speak.I don't say a word as I stand and approach her desk.Her eyes dilate with fear the closer I get and the sadist inside of me delights in her fear. Once I'm an inch from her desk, I stop and cross my arms over my chest."What do you have to say for yourself, Miss Sidorov?"Her eyes narrow. "I apologized already for talking in class.""And what exactly were you saying to Natalya?"She shakes her head. "It's not important.""I want to know exactly what you said, Azira."Her throat bobs. "I was merely stating that this class was boring as
I stare up at him as he keeps my airways blocked with the thick girth of his cock, his eyes twinkling with sadistic delight.My throat aches as I wait for him to allow me to breathe, but I sense he has no intention of doing so.Panic claws at me as I writhe, attempting to break free from his hold.Still, he watches in delight at my panic, as if he's taking great pleasure from my discomfort.Who am I kidding?He is taking great pleasure from my discomfort.Finally, when I'm sure I'll pass out, he pulls his cock out and shakes his head. "You have a nose, Miss Sidorov. Use it if you want to avoid passing out."I glare at him. "I wouldn't need to if you weren't being such a bastard and choking me with your dick."His grasp on my hair tightens, and he forces his cock back through my lips and into the back of my throat. "This is your punishment for ignoring me for an entire fucking week." He thrusts in and out as if he's fucking my pussy, making me choke and gag. "Now breathe through your n
He thrusts three fingers into my pussy and groans. "So fucking wet. We won't need lube, as you are making enough."I feel him spread my arousal onto my ass, and then he spits on it, making me shudder. And then he thrusts his cock into my pussy. "I'll get my cock nice and wet in your cunt."There's a part of me that can't believe he's doing this, taking things this far, and there's this dark part of me that loves it. I want him to take what he wants from me, use me and abuse me in sick and dirty ways."Blaine, this is insane."His eyes flash. "Have I ever told you that you could call me by my first name?"I purse my lips together. "No, but I assumed—""Don't. It's master or sir to you."I swallow hard. "Sorry, sir."He pulls out of my pussy presses the hard, thick head of his cock against my tight hole, making me tense. "I would tell you this won't hurt, but that's a lie. And let's be honest with each other. You love pain." He forces the tip harder against my tight ring of muscles and
I slam shut the fridge in the staff room harder than I'd intended."What the fuck is wrong with you today, Bly?" Arch asks, watching me with an arched brow."Nothing," I mutter, opening the can of coke and tipping the contents down my throat. I need something strong, but I know Oak hates me drinking on the job.Ever since I forcefully took Azira's anal virginity two weeks ago, she can't stay away. She either gets herself into trouble so that she gets sent to me, or I'm dragging her away regardless and having my way with her. Never have I been this hooked on a girl, but I fear Azira is getting too attached."You've been off for weeks now. What is it?"I glare at him, as he's always sticking his nose into other people's business. "Mind your own fucking business. Since when have I been into sharing and caring, you fucking fag?"He chuckles and shakes his head. "Okay, there's definitely something up with you." He holds his hands up in surrender. "Keep it to yourself. I don't give a shit."
The stadium is crammed full tonight.I hate places like this as it feels like I can't breathe, and yet I was so desperate to get some distance from the academy, I agreed.Clutching a hot dog in one hand and a large beer in a paper cup in the other, I follow Archer to our seats. I don't normally drink beer, but this kind of place doesn't serve scotch. "You guarantee there aren't any students here, right?"Arch's brow raises. "Why does it matter if there is?"I narrow my eyes at him. "You said—""I know, but I lied.""Fuck," I murmur, running a hand over the back of my neck. "Miss Vasquez is here, isn't she?"He shrugs. "I may have overheard that she's coming to the game tonight, yes.""I'm going to fucking kill you."His brow furrows. "Why does it matter to you, anyway?"It matters because if Adrianna is here, then it's highly likely Azira will be, too.We don't exactly discuss our private lives or what we're doing in our free time. Our relationship up to now has been purely physical,
Archer holds my hand as we pad barefoot through the sand, the sun just setting beyond the horizon and casting a warm, orange glow over the beach.Natalya's wedding was beautiful. And even though I still can't believe she's married the man that tormented her for years, I'm happy that she is happy."It's beautiful, isn't it?" I ask, stopping to watch as the sun dips slowly lower.Archer smiles at me. "Shall we sit down and watch?"I nod in response. "Sounds good." I sit down in the sand and he sits behind me, placing his legs on either side of my thighs and his arms around my waist. "This is nice," he murmurs into my ear.I lean back into him. "It is.""Did you enjoy the wedding?" He asks."It was beautiful, even though I still can't quite believe that Nat ended up with Elias after he was such a bully."Archer moves my hair to the side and skims his lips over the back of my neck. "Is it any different to you being with me after I blackmailed you?"I stiffen at the reminder. "Not sure it'
Motherfucker.I search the closet for something to pick the bedroom lock with. If Archer is facing my father and his goons, then I need to be by his side.Another shot echoes through the air, making me tense. I work even harder to focus on the lock, knowing I need to get out of this room. Finally, the lock clicks and I'm thankful I took the class on safe breaking two years ago when it was being taught.Quickly, I run out of the room and down the corridor, hardly thinking about what I'm doing.My heart skips a beat when I see my father and Archer standing outside of the window, each pointing a gun at one another. "No." I rush out of the cabin without a second thought. "Stop!""Adrianna," my father growls, pointing the gun at me. "What the fuck are you doing?"I freeze at the other end of his gun, knowing that he would without a doubt shoot me dead. "I'm not coming home to Mexico," I say.He growls. "Like hell you aren't.""I don't want to be married off to some mobster.""No, you want
I pull my jeep off the main road in the middle of nowhere, driving down an unmarked track. It may be secluded, but I know the path to this place like the back of my hand. After all, I spent just under two years living up here in my cabin.I notice Adrianna shudder."Are you cold?" I ask.She shakes her head. "No, this place just gives me the creeps.""The creeps?" I never thought of it as creepy."Yeah, like maybe you are actually a serial killer and this was your elaborate plan all along."I laugh, shaking my head. "You have a wild imagination." The woods open up to a clearing where my cabin is, and it's not just any old cabin. It's modern and sophisticated."Wow, do you own this place?" Adrianna asks.I nod. "I bought it when I needed to remain low while my family was looking for me." It was a difficult time in my life. One fraught with loneliness and a little too much alcohol, but this place saved me. "It's actually how I met Oak. He owns a cabin near to here and we met while we we
I approach Adrianna, who is standing with all her friends. My nerves are fried, mainly because I'm practically kidnapping the princess of the Vasquez Cartel. Thankfully, I saw Damien Vasquez leave ten minutes ago in his armored SUV. I'm pretty sure he hardly even said a word to Adrianna after the ceremony.I clear my throat. "Adrianna, can I have a word?""Stil not giving up?" Natalya teases.It's clear no one knows about us among her friends, except for Azira, and that was my fault.She meets my gaze and nods. I can tell from the look on her face that she's just as nervous as me. "Sure."I nod toward the exit of the hall and she follows me out of it."What's up?" she asks, as I lead her into an empty classroom and shut the door."I just wanted to double check you are all set for the plan?"She nods. "Of course. I'm packed, only essentials and no tech.""Good. And your father has gone. I watched him leave."She purses her lips. "I don't even know why he bothered to come. He didn't say
My father is standing at my door half an hour before the ceremony."Hey, Adrianna." He looks at my outfit. "You look well."I swallow hard. "Thanks for coming." I glance down the corridor. "Where is mom?"He shakes his head. "Your mother couldn't make it."It hurts a bit, I must admit. Out of the two of them, I'd expect my mom to be here over my father. She may not have ever been emotionally supportive, but she's always been a little less cold than him."Oh, is she busy?""No, but I don't enjoy traveling with your mother. You know that."I clench my jaw. "I know that." He doesn't like to travel with her because he likes to pay hookers whenever he stays away from home. The man disgusts me, but my mother isn't much better. Their marriage is a sham, and it has been all my life. Exactly what I want to avoid by escaping, as that was my future. My mom was married by arrangement to my father, hence the toxic relationship between them."Shall we get going then?" I say.He nods. "Lead the way.
Adrenaline has been racing through my veins since I woke this morning.It's sickening, but today is the day. Graduation is this afternoon and then all my friends and I will go out to celebrate. My father agreed to my plan and told me he'd booked into a hotel twenty miles away in the nearest city, as he's above the little inn in town and the motel near here. It actually makes the plan easier, as he won't be nearby when I make a run for it.However, after the celebrations are through, Archer and I will disappear. Our friends will know that we've left for good, but not where we are going. No one knows that, not even I do. I've let Archer figure the entire thing out and where I'm going to go.It's been hard trusting him in this way, as I've always relied on myself alone. He can't disappear with me, though. He has a life here at the academy, and so he's going to set me up with my new life and then leave. That's the part I've been trying to avoid thinking about entirely.I'm not sure how I'
I walk up to the door of Archer's apartment, my heart thumping at a hundred miles an hour.Am I crazy for being here?Perhaps. I knock on the door and wait a few moments and then I hear the thud of footsteps descending the stairs. Archer opens it and smiles at me with a smile that could stop most women's hearts. "You are here."I smile back at him. "I didn't get murdered.""I'm glad," he says, stepping aside to allow me in.I pause for a moment, knowing that now I'm coming to him of my free will rather than because he's blackmailing me. I'm not sure how to feel about that. It changes everything.His brow furrows. "Are you going to stay there or come in?"I purse my lips. "Still trying to decide."He laughs and grabs my hand, yanking me into the apartment and against him. "Don't be an idiot.""I'm normally the one saying that to you."He leads me up into his apartment, where he has a table set with candles alight. "I was prepared since I hadn't heard of any murders on campus." There is
My plan to get my revenge on Archer is backfiring.Why the hell do I feel so excited whenever I see him?And when he touched me earlier by the stream, he was trying to comfort me, but his touch ignited butterflies fluttering in my stomach and made my head spin. He keeps talking about feelings and how he wants us to continue after I graduate, which is insane.I can't work out if he's only saying it because I've never admitted I want him. All the while, I've made sure I keep detached and cold, even when he talks about his feelings.As I walk into the academy, I'm ambushed by my father. "Where have you been?"I cross my arms over my chest. "I went for a walk. Is that a crime?"He sighs heavily. "I'm here to take you back home."My brow furrows. "But what about the academy?" I ask, wondering why he didn't come to get me during spring break, especially as he said he had a meeting set out for me the week before.He yanks my wrist and drags me into an empty classroom, slamming the door behin
I sense Adrianna isn't used to relying on anyone for anything."Seriously, Adrianna. Let me help." I need to help her as I need to know her plan. She's so pigheaded. It wouldn't surprise me if she disappeared forever and I couldn't find her. It's the only way to ensure I keep tabs on her."Fine, you can help."I smile, relief coursing through my veins. "Good, as I have quite a few ideas.""Such as?"I pat my lap for her to come and sit on it.Her eyes narrow, but she sits anyway."Your father is coming to graduation, and that's a complication, but not the be all and end all. I mean, you dictated to your father before, so do it again.""What do you mean?""Tell him that you are going to celebrate with your friends. They're all going to be celebrating, right?"She nods. "Yeah.""Then tell him to book a motel and you'll leave with him the next morning."A crease forms in between her brows. "I'm uncertain it will work, but I can ring him beforehand. It's an option, I guess.""Well, tell m
