“To be determined later.” Caden glances at the guys. “Don’t fuck this up.”
Reeves grins and steps forward to put his arm around Ava’s shoulders. She grimaces.
Caden meets my eyes, but he knows this is the best option. Ava won’t have classes with us. We can’t watch her the way we can Harper. He needs a clear head to stay in the game. Ava isn’t part of this yet and maybe distancing himself from her will lessen the target.
“Within reason, two favors.” I don’t look to Logan. I look to Zoey. She’s the one in charge here.
She holds her hand out. “Pleasure doing business with you.”
I’mten minutes late to first period. I don’t bother to stop and talk to the teacher, just walk to my seat behind Harper. The urge to tug on her ponytail is too strong, so I don’t resist.
She makes a muffled noise before turning to glare at me. I smirk, feeling a little lighter. If I can find solutions for our other problems, we’ll be golden.
Mr. Wick clears his throat, but continues with his lesson for the day.
I made Harper a promise this morning that I fully intend to keep. But for now, we need to stay focused and sharp.
Surveying the room, I note a few football players, a couple of cheerleaders, and at least one girl I fucked, Olivia Miller. She’s a junior. Her bright blue eyes lift to mine. Her cheeks flush pink.
I fucked her off-and-on last year. I’m not sure when I grew bored with her. When she stopped being interesting. She turns back to the front.
The list of women I’ve fucked is short, but I didn’t include halves for blow jobs like Eli. The women were eager and wanted to, so why say no? My gaze gets caught on the nape of Harper’s neck.
A mark peeks out of her neckline that I’m sure I left there. I made sure she’s still using the cream on her marks on her ass. I don’t know how to feel about them. They weren’t as bad as the ones I’ve had in the past.
The mark on her neck marks her as mine, but the belt marks make me feel nauseous. Even in the moment, I hesitated and finally dropped the belt because I couldn’t keep doing it. Even though she didn’t tell me to stop. Didn’t say no or her safe word. Even if Caden and Eli were there to hold me back, it felt too much like abuse and less like pleasure. My intent wasn’t abuse though. And I don’t want to be that to Harper.
I love playing with her and disciplining her, but I didn’t know I’d have a line. Hitting her and clear abuse, yeah, that’s not even a question. But playing with discipline, I have a limit. A hard limit that I’ll never pass again. I brush my knuckles over the nape of her neck and she shivers.
She’s responsive to pleasure and to pain.
I have my list of girls I’ve fucked. Ready to give it to Harper, but part of me doesn’t want to give it to her. None of themmattered. But she’s ours. I know everything we’ve done to each other and know that all five of us have done it to her.
Harper is the last name on it. This list is the end. I can’t see myself adding to it. I can’t see a future without her in it.
Harper
Tanner is absent from art class. I hope Caden had nothing to do with it, but it’s a relief all the same.
Nico holds my hand as we walk outside for lunch. Caden trails behind me.
“If you don’t want me to flirt, little nympho, you’ll need to find different clothes to wear because I can’t think of anything when you wear skirts like that.” Caden growls low when I swing my hips a little.
My insides are already boiling hot. We make it to the bleachers and when Caden lifts me off my feet, I release a little squeal.
“Such a fucking tease today.” His lips press against the nape of my neck. “I might need you to sit on my cock while we eat.”
Fuck, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Fire blazes hot inside me.
“Put her down, Caden.” Eli shakes his head and holds out his hand to help me up the bleachers.
Caden’s growl rumbles against my back, but he lowers me onto the first bleacher. I take Eli’s hand as he helps me up to where we’re sitting. The cafeteria is too toxic and we might be overheard, so we decided lunch on the bleachers made the most sense.
My skin pricks with awareness as I sit and look at the field where they kissed me for the first time. Caden sits on thebleacher below me and strokes his fingers up my calf, sending sparks cascading through me.
I glance at the surroundings. The school is a little over the hill, so no one can really see us here unless they walk over. My insides buzz. Would anyone be able to tell if I sat on Caden’s cock out here?
Like when we studied, just sat in his lap with his cock stretching me open. I shift in my seat and Caden smirks at me knowingly.
