Sebastian"Don't worry. I can't ruin the family name more than you already have," he says before hanging up.I can't help but take the phone away from my ear and stare at it.Did that just happen? The audacity Noah has is amazing. What the fucking hell, man?"Are you off the phone?" Maximilian asks, causing me to look up at him."Yeah," I state, turning off my phone and placing it on my desk."Okay, good," he finally stops pacing, and I return to looking at my laptop. "On a scale of one to ten, how mad should we be that Via is skipping school again?"His words make me stop short. Did I hear him correctly?"What?" I ask, looking up from my laptop."I said," he clears his throat, "how should we deal with Via skipping school—""Again."Jesus Christ, my ears didn't deceive me. I did hear him correctly the first time. My girl really is skipping school yet again.Dammit, there I go with the "my girl" phrase when she doesn't even talk to me. I'm an idiot."Nothing. She said she wants space,"
MaximilianWe instantly grab the few things we have and get ready to leave."You guys seem really eager," she says with a small laugh as she wraps herself in a purple fuzzy blanket."Yeah, no shit we are," I mumble more to myself than to anyone in the room.She doesn't know how eager we are. Today has basically been the highlight of nearly two weeks.Via goes to pick up Lance, but Nathaniel stops her. "He's heavy. I got him."She nods, then follows us out of her house. We wait until she's done locking the door before heading to Alexander's house."Don't fall, firefly," Sebastian tells Via as he reaches a hand out for her and guides her through the snow.Once we get into Alexander's house, Via snuggles up into Sebastian's arm. No doubt because it's just as cold in here as it is outside."It's freezing," she says as we walk into Alexander's kitchen."Yeah, I didn't think I'd, let alone we'd be here today," Alexander says as he disappears into the living room."I'm going to go put Lance
MaximilianThat's where everything took a turn. It always goes back to four years ago, or in Alexander's instance, six years ago.I look at Via and watch as she studies us while taking small sips of her tea. How do we look in her point of view because from my point of view I don't see us as solid friends. Fuck, I don't even think we're friends period.Looking back on it, I don't think we actually were ever solid friends. We were more like acquaintances with a need for support to survive to some degree.Via stirs her cup of tea and tilts her head. She then narrows her eyes at me. "You expect me to believe that you guys would never lie to me again?" She looks away from me and down at her teacup. "I know you guys are great liars but don't lie about that too.""Via—" I trail off, not knowing exactly what to say.Well, that's false because I do know what I want to say but I know Via isn't going to want to hear it. She's set on being pissed at us, therefore anything I try to say will just b
ViaAs I recall the naive moment when I climbed into Ezra's automobile, I feel as though I had been hit with a whiplash. My foolishness led me to get into his car, and now that I'm going at a rapid pace, I'm struggling to maintain my composure."Girl, you're afraid to go fast?" Elizabeth shakes her head, glancing at me through her rearview mirror."No." I shake my head as Elizabeth starts to slow down. "I simply don't enjoy it," I stifle a giggle."Okay, if you say so." Elizabeth quickly pulls into the parking lot as the park suddenly comes into view."Alright, let's go, girly!" Elizabeth remarks as she shuts her car's roof...."Well, today was fun." Elizabeth reapplies her rich, dark crimson lipstick while I watch. She almost seems to be putting blood on her lips."See, I told you it would be!" Elizabeth remarks as we enter her vehicle."However, you were accurate. I grin as I work to remove the purple bingo paint from my hair, saying, "They were competitive.""Yeah—" Stephanie ends
ViaOver the course of tacos, Stephanie and Elizabeth had made it abundantly plain that they did not intend to attend school that day. To tell you the truth, I had no intention of going back either. As a result, we made the decision to go to the movies rather than going to class."So, I don't want to be pushy," I said, swirling my horchata thoughtfully. "But can I ask what's in that box we got earlier?"After an extended period of stillness between them, Stephanie let out a deep sigh, and then she looked at Elizabeth for a moment before finally nodding her acknowledgement."Alright, we'll tell you," Stephanie said with a firm nod, bearing a serious expression on her face. "But you gotta promise not to judge us.""Yeah, this is a judgment-free zone, okay?" During the time that we were coming to a stop at a red light, Elizabeth made a comment and glanced back at me. "Got it?"In an honest response, I said, "Yeah, I promise," while simultaneously experiencing a mixture of interest and co
Maximilian"Where are we going?" Via asks as she puts on her seatbelt.I can't believe I'm actually fucking doing this."On an adventure," I say as I turn the car on and put my own belt on. "Which requires a long drive."Younger me would've probably never even thought of doing this. Which is exactly why I have to do this."Are you mad at me?" she asks, looking at me."No," I say and instantly pull into the road."Are the others mad at me?" she says, causing me to look over at her for a few seconds.She's running her hands through her hair and looks uneasy."No," I say once again and switch gears. "I have a question for you."I hear her shift in her seat. "Yeah?"I stop at a red light and turn to her. "Be honest with me." I tap my thumb against the steering wheel. "Why do you like us?"She looks at me, confused. "What?"The light turns green, and I begin driving again. "Why do you like me and my friends, Via?" I ask as I keep my speed under thirty."Because—" She trails off. "Where is
Maximilian"You're just fine the way you are." I drive up to the half-empty parking lot for the hiking trail and park in a spot far from the other cars. "Let's go." I walk to her side and open her door."I've never been up here," she says as she looks around."After the conversation I had with your dad, I don't think you've gone anywhere, period," I say as I take her hand in mine.She frowns. "Yeah, true," she says as she follows my lead. "Sometimes—" She cuts herself off. "Never mind.""Tell me," I tell her as I look around."Sometimes I think they never wanted me to grow up." She looks down. "I think my dad and brothers always expected me to be a child playing with Barbies and my toy cars.""Because they love you," I say as I stop in my tracks. "I would've preferred for my family to have wanted me to never grow up instead of telling me to grow up faster."I look around and try to remember where the lake is."Your parents made you grow up fast?" I hear Via ask, which causes me to fre
Maximilian"Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do that." Via says as she shakes her head. "I wouldn't have been able to control my anger.""Yeah, I know." I look at her. "I learned that after the whip cream thing at school."She turns a light shade of pink but then glares at me. "You guys did it on purpose. Didn't you?" She says accusingly."Yeah." I nod. "I wanted to make sure that the time you spent away from us didn't change your feelings towards us and the others did too.""I wanted to strangle you guys every time you guys talked and laughed with them." She says as she rolls her eyes at me.Chances are I would've let her, but that's a conversation for another time."Yeah, you're nothing like my mom." I look away from her and add another rock to my tower. "My mom was always so unbothered as if she was only ever in it for the money." My tower falls and I sigh. "Once I found this place-" I trail off. "I didn't want to go back. At all. I just wanted to be at peace."Via tilts her head at me.
ViaHe looks at me and I nod. "Our secret."He nods before I watch him put his hands on my thighs and bury his face in my pussy. Oh god, yes.I feel him run his tongue over my clit while looking at me. "You always taste so fucking good" He says before kissing my clit. "Tell me what you want."Games, games and more games. It's always games when it comes to them."Sebastian, please let's not play this game." I whimper as I run my right hand through his hair. "No teasing. You already know what I want."He continues to stare at me and shakes his head. "What do you need?" He licks my clit again. "You need that?" I can't help but to moan. "Or do you need this?" He runs his tongue from my entrance to my clit. "Or how about." He takes one of his hands and all of a sudden, he looks down. "This?" I hear him say before I feel him push two fingers in me and look back up at me."Tell me fireflies."He doesn't move his fingers and I quickly catch on that he's not going to until I tell him. It alway
ViaI close the door behind me as I bite my bottom lip. "Did I ever tell you that you have a really nice behind?" I say with a giggle, walking over to the sink."Firefly," he laughs, shaking his head. "Good morning, how did you sleep?" he asks, turning the shower knob."Good, actually." I nod, grabbing my toothbrush from its place on the wall. "But waking up alone was a letdown," I add with a pout."Sorry, firefly. We didn't want to leave you alone, but we had to wake up already," he says, splashing water on his face.He's been growing his beard—not much, but it's definitely more than he used to have. I'm honestly loving it because he looks somehow sexier."That's not what I meant," I say, putting toothpaste on my brush and running it under some water from the faucet. "I meant because none of my four hot boyfriends woke me up with their faces between my legs like they used to. It was really disappointing," I sigh, starting to brush my teeth.I watch as Sebastian halts, hands midway th
Sebastian"But when he spoke about Lance, I exploded," she says, her voice trembling as she carefully grabs one of the stickers. "I exploded and I feel like shit because I don't hold any remorse for doing so. I actually feel so fucking good that I made him feel like shit this time." She carefully applies the sticker to her face. "I exploded and I feel like it wasn't enough. I still want to yell at them," she confesses, her tone raw and unfiltered.She looks relieved, as if saying her whole explanation gave her inner peace. Which is good because she clearly needed it."You should've kept yelling at them. They deserve it," Maximilian says with a shrug, leaning back in his chair."That's not helping my cause," Via says with a sigh, grabbing another sticker and rolling it between her fingers."Okay, then what do you want us to say?" Alexander asks, staring at her intently."I don't know," she says, trying to put the sticker on her face but failing as it falls off her finger. "Anything," s
Via"Jesus fuck," I hear Sebastian groan, slowing down before gradually picking up his pace again.It is the sound of all of their groans and murmured obscenities that is helping me get through this whole ordeal."I'm close," I say, gripping the side of the pool with my left hand.Their gazes inflict a burning sensation on my skin, as if they were touching me, and I find myself clinging to the edge of the pool as if my life were in danger."Cum for us, little star," Nathaniel says, our eyes locking again.There is no obvious way out of the stream that is flowing between me and all of my men; it is thick and suffocating in hunger and need."Oh, god," I say, falling apart.In the process of allowing myself to lay against the towel underneath me, my vision becomes hazy. The sensation that I am experiencing in my body is that of absolute joy."Jesus Christ," I hear Alexander say from a few feet away before hearing movement in the water.I gasp as I feel someone's mouth against my pussy. W
ViaI didn't notice when one of them laid out a soft towel on the edge of the pool, but it did feel comfortable under me."You said you wanted us to have our way with you," Nathaniel says as he takes my hand into his, slowly running it down my body until we reach my exposed thighs. "Touch yourself and make yourself cum. We want to see.""I can't. I—" My voice drifts off, caught between fear and arousal.This is not the first time that he has become agitated by the sight of me feeling pleasure. I would like to observe that reaction once more. The moment I watch them take joy in themselves, I experience a particular kind of high. When I'm on my knees sucking them off, I have the same high as when I'm doing this. Being able to see their eyes go hooded, as well as hearing their pants and groans, is what gives them that high. Receiving any form of praise from them is the source of this benefit. Knowing that I am capable of bringing them to the same level of pleasure that I have witnessed t
AlexanderAt this very moment, I am beginning to question whether or not the weather is genuinely a problem. mostly due to the fact that, after everything is said and done, the weather is the only thing that is preventing me from experiencing everything that is associated with her."Never mind," says Sebastian, removing his shirt with a quick, decisive motion. "I'll drown myself in medication later on," he adds before rushing out the door.It is remarkable that Via is able to force Sebastian, of all people, to submit to her and act in a manner that is contrary to his typical behavior. I can confidently say that none of us, including Sebastian, have ever been the sort to give in. However, there is something about Via that causes all of us to agree with that sentiment.It appears that each of us has begun to acquire a dependency on her, a fixation that causes us to become more vulnerable when she is in our presence. It is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time."Where's he going
Alexander"Yeah, why?" I ask him as I try my best not to turn to Via.He stays quiet for a few seconds and stops at a red light. "Are we not going to talk about the look that played on your face when Via called my son hers?" Nathaniel says before he continues driving.I freeze a bit at that. Shit, he saw that? I have got to work on the way I publicly react to things. Immediately."It just caught me by surprise." I shake my head. "That's all."I truly don't wish to tell him the truth. These are the times when I truly rather keep to myself rather than explain personal matters to others."Don't lie to me." He shakes his head. "Via's right. No more lies." He sighs. "We were once extremely close. Let's try and go back to that." That causes me to come to a small halt.Via's past words of me and the guys having zero trust in each other comes flooding back. That and the memory of her taking off her necklace before walking out on us. It's as if that scenario now lives rent free in my fucking h
NathanielHis words cause the food I just swallowed to get stuck in my damn throat. It's like I can't chew and swallow my own damn food. Like the fucking idiot I am.How do I respond to this question? "Yeah, he's speaking more because we're putting a lot of time into speaking to him since he's behind?" Yeah, sounds like a great fucking response. Just comes to show kind of father I have been to my son.Except, I don't have time to answer. Via's quick to answer for me."Yes, it has been a while since you last saw him." She feeds Lance some more. "It would help if you would visit more often." She doesn't look at him, not even once. "But family first and all." She says, without a hint of emotion in her voice.Dean's face falls but Via doesn't see it. "I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way, Via." He trails off. "I just-" He's clearly acting defensive, and it doesn't look like Via wants to put up with it.It's also at this moment that I realize Andres has joined us."Keep your comments to
NathanielAfter a few seconds, I see them both look from me to Alexander, who is on the other side of Via. What the fuck are they looking for?"Oh." She frowns. "Then maybe later in time," she says with a small shrug."Yeah, maybe," I nod.Again, the Micah situation is very unclear.However, I remember how we used to speak for hours. I remember how all fourteen of us used to be close. I mean, yeah, we had our five main groups, but deep down, all of us together were strong. We were like a force, one that couldn't be messed with easily. We were a family.Until our bond broke, and nobody did shit to fix it. Not even me."Kol, where'd you put the ranch?" Via calls out to the field."I hid it from you!" Kol yells back at her.I look down at her plate. She only has pizza on her plate, no hot wings. Why does she want a ranch?I'm trying to figure it out as she stands up. "But I want—" She gets cut off by Andres handing her a small new bottle of ranch. "Oh, thank you, papa," she says, then si
