Bly squishes his hot dog between his meaty bear paws and his cup of beer, spilling it everywhere."Bly, what the fuck?"His jaw is clenched tightly, and he looks about ready to murder someone. "It looks like your hooks aren't as deep as you thought." Bly nods in front of us.Adrianna is sitting with Nikolai Kushev's arm around her shoulders, her head rested in the crook of his neck. "Motherfucker."A rage unlike any I've ever felt overwhelms me. Adrianna may think she's untouchable emotionally, but she will not treat me like shit, not if she wants me to bury the truth about her.Bly taps Azira on the shoulder. "May I ask what you are doing here, Miss Sidorov?"Azira's eyes go wide as Rizzo turns to face us. "Hey professor, we're just enjoying the game. That's not against school rules, is it?""Yes, just enjoying the game," Azira adds."And who cleared you to leave school grounds?" Bly questions her.Adrianna has the gall to turn to face me, meeting my gaze with a cocky little smirk on
Archer is right that I made sure he heard me so that he'd see me with Nik and get jealous, but I never thought he was this insane. I'd seen the way he was looking at me during gym when Nik got too close, so I thought I'd play on his jealousy, as I need to get revenge on him for blackmailing me into fucking him.My intention is to make him fall for me, and the way he's acting, I'd say it won't be hard. It may be a challenge to get a self-professed man whore to fall for me, but I'm determined. When he thinks he has me, I intend to break his heart. Because this man deserves pay back for blackmailing me into sleeping with him, no matter how good the sex is. And it is fucking good.I bite my lip so hard I draw blood, my hand in his lap reluctantly as I squeeze the hard length of him. It doesn't help being forced to touch him, as it only makes the ache inside of me deepen. He's trying to tip me over the edge right here in front of an entire crowd of people, and he's so close. It's going to
"What are you doing for Spring Break?" I ask, while gently running my finger in circles on Adrianna's soft, tanned skin."I told my father I'm not coming home." Adrianna shrugs. "Eva wants me to stay here, and I agreed.""And your father accepted that?" I find it hard to believe that Adrianna can dictate what she does, especially since she mentioned he wanted her home a week earlier to meet a potential suitor for marriage.Adrianna shakes her head. "He didn't oppose it, so I guess.""What happened to the suitor?" I ask."Oh, I think he had a falling out with the father of the guy he was going to marry me off to. My father makes enemies faster than he makes friends."I chuckle. "I know the type." My fingers dance over her skin lightly and she shivers. "So we can spend some time together then," I say, thankful that Adrianna isn't leaving for Spring Break. The last thing I want is to spend any time away from her.She shakes her head. "I've got plans with Eva.""Not for the entire two wee
Adrianna makes a frustrated little grunt. "What the—" I flip her onto her back and then plow my cock into her cunt before she can finish her sentence. "Oh, fuck!"Her entire body convulses with the force of her orgasm and I fuck her right through it, enjoying the sensation of her muscles spasming around my cock. "Such a perfect girl," I say, looking into her eyes. "You come so damn well." I kiss her then, drowning in the woman who has made me feel for the first time in my life."Archer," she moans my name."Yes, baby?"She glares at me as I bury myself inside of her with slow, soft thrusts.I know why she's moaning my name, because she wants it rough. If there's one thing I've learned about her, it's that she does nothing by halves. It's all or nothing in every single aspect of her life, and it's something I love about her."Fuck me harder," she orders, as if she's in command here.I shake my head. "Who's in control, baby girl?""You are," she grits out, glaring at me."That's right."
My cell phone rings, and I groan when I see it's my father."Yes?" I answer."Why has my jet just taken off from the private airstrip near your academy empty?" he growls.Unbelievable. It was a while ago now when I told him I wasn't coming back, after he canceled me coming back a week early to meet some guy. "I already told you a couple of weeks ago I'm not coming back for Spring Break."He growls down at the phone. "Insolent girl.""What is the problem? It's not like you are around, anyway. I just sit in that house alone. At least this way I can chill out with a friend for the break at the academy."There's a pause on the other end. "You are remaining at the academy and not leaving the premises?""Yes, except maybe to go shopping a couple of days or go out to the movies in the nearby town.""Fine," he barks. "I will call the principal to confirm that he keeps an eye on you."I shake my head as my father is ridiculous. "At eighteen years old, I hardly need to be babysat.""Quiet." The
My thighs clench at the thought of him spanking me more than he already has. "I've got to meet Eva in thirty minutes.""Thirty minutes is enough time.""For what?" I ask, knowing that I'm going to regret asking that question."For me to fuck you over that pommel horse until you're begging me for release."I glare at him. Somehow, the gym setting ignites my competitive side. "I'd like to see you try."He smirks, and I know that we've both issued a challenge to each other. This man is going to get me to beg him to make me come, and I'm going to resist. There's no fucking way I'm going to be on time to meet Eva.He yanks me forward, his hand still on the back of my neck. Our lips come together in a heated kiss that sets my world ablaze. I want to hate it, but I just can't. Every time we're together like this, it is pure electricity.I drown in him, even while a part of my mind wants to hate him. It's as if the anger and dislike for him only fuels the flames of desire.Archer grabs me rou
Spring Break is going far better than I expected now that Adrianna is staying here for it.Oak assured her father that he'd keep an eye on her, even though he's not even going to be here for the first week. Instead, he put me in charge of watching her for the week, despite knowing how much I've wanted her all year. He doesn't realize that Adrianna finally submitted because of a bit of blackmailing on my end. If he did, he'd probably kill me.Adrianna insists she can't see me much since she's spending time with Eva while Oak is away. Apparently Eva would get suspicious if they're not together during the week twenty-four-seven. I find it hard to believe that she won't be able to get away.Bly is in his cabin outside, chopping wood with an axe like some cave dweller. I approach, a shudder racing down my spine at the look of him with an axe like that. He may be my friend, but I've always thought he's got murderous vibes."Bly!" I shout his name.He doesn't seem to hear me as I get closer,
I hum to myself as I stand over a pot of my marinara sauce.Adrianna should be here any minute, and I've cooked her dinner. One time, I joked she might fall in love with me if she tried it. I can't deny that I hope that's the case. Her response was upsetting.Lunch was awkward, but I'm thankful she sat with us. As while it didn't take my mind off of her, it satiated the desire to spend time with her until tonight, just.The bell to my apartment rings. My heart pounds a little harder as I turn down the stove, walking down the stairs to open the door. Adrianna is standing there wearing a little black dress that flaunts all her assets and enhances the tanned quality of her skin. "Hey, baby girl."Her cheeks blush. "Hey." She's holding a bottle of wine. "I bought this."I take it from her. "Perfect, we'll drink it with dinner. Come on." I lead the way into the kitchen."What smells so good?""My marinara sauce."She licks her lips. "Looking forward to that."I laugh. "How do you have any
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
