He’s not so different than the rest of the Firstborns after all.
But I find myself enjoying the kiss, melting into Easton’s embrace as he holds me up against his body, devouring my mouth with a fervent rush that implies he’s been waiting to do this for a very long time. I allow it. I mold my body against his and let him kiss me as long as he wants. All the while, my heart beats in rhythm with his, wondering what Dexter’s punishment will be once he finds out what I did.
Not that it matters. All that matters is that Easton will find my mother – and hopefully help me get the hell out of Eden Falls.
Once he’s done, he pulls back, wiping my lipstick off his face while I blush fiercely. I know everyone saw us. News will get around fast. I can feel the patrons’ eyes on me.
“You’re a good kisser, Pandora,” he tells me with a cruel smirk.
Quite the statement, given that he’s the one who did most of the making out.
“I’ll see you soon,” I mutter, the reality of what I’ve done finally settling in on me.
Dexter’s going to kill me once he finds out. I turn back, calling out to Easton once he’s already a few steps away. He stops in his tracks, looking at me over his shoulder with a knowing smile. It’s like he knows what I’m about to say already.
“Don’t tell anyone what we did, okay?” I ask.
Even I can hear the note of desperation in my voice. It’s fucking pathetic.
“You mean, don’t tell Dexter?” Easton asks with a smirk, and my shoulders sag when I realize he’s read me like an open book.
“Please.” I don’t even care that I’ve started to beg. “Just don’t tell anyone what we did, it will put me in a lot of trouble, and I’d like to get through a week at Prep without unnecessary drama.
This can’t get back to Dexter. I know he has the power to make my life a living hell, and I can’t allow him to make my life worse. I need to figure how to get the hell out of here first.
“Seems like I’m keeping a lot of secrets for you,” Easton tells me, and I find myself flushing deeply. “You know what I’m talking about, don’t you, Pandora?”
“Don’t… don’t tell anyone about that either,” I beg him. “You can’t let anyone find out. I’ll lose my Firstborn privileges. I’ll be as good as fucking done in this town.”
“Thought you didn’t care about that?”
“I don’t,” I hiss. “But everyone else does. Do you even know what my father will do to me if he finds out people know? He’ll fucking kill me.”
This seems to wipe the smile right off his face. His hands form fists at his sides and he gives me a curt nod, his eyes boring into mine.
“I’ll keep your secret,” he tells me. “As long as you give me more of those sweet lips.”
“Ugh,” I roll my eyes. “You Firstborns are all the same.”
“And you’re one of us… for now,” he winks at me before turning away and leaving me behind.
A look at my watch reveals I need to hurry up and get to the pick-up point where Kelley is getting my sister and me to drive us back home. Once I arrive, I find Tianna with her lipstick smudged to high hell, making me furrow my brows.
“And what did you get up to?” I ask her.
“None of your business,” she replies, but she can’t wipe that smile off her face.
I’m sure whatever she did would piss father off beyond belief.
We spend the ride home in silence, and I’m grateful for the security of my bedroom once we’re finally home. Even the click of the lock doesn’t seem so bad now – at least I’m safe in my bedroom. No Dexter in sight.
I check my secret phone that I’ve hidden beneath the sheets and am surprised to find several missed calls. They’re all from Dexter. I smirk to myself. Maybe the bastard actually misses me. I think I’d like that.
Just as I’m pondering what to do next, the phone rings again, Dexter’s name flashing on the screen. I take the call.
“What the fuck did you do?”
“Hello to you too,” I hiss. “How nice to hear from you.”
