“And I was right, apparently,” he continues, crowing triumphantly.
Well he’s about to eat crow. He wanted to prove his superiority to me, but he’s done the opposite. He couldn’t bring himself to eliminate me. He was willing to cheat to keep me going, again. He just proved to me that he had a weakness.
And that weakness was me.
Wait, except that I don’t want to be his weakness! And I don’t want him to be mine. I can’t be alone with him again like this.
I take the ribbon out of my pocket, under his surprised look, before grabbing the one he still has in his hand and tying it to a branch to put it back in play. “I told you I wasn’t a helpless lamb. I won your stupid game. Now leave me alone!”
Then I leave him there as he silently stares at me, lost in thought.
11. Madness
Tucker
The last car pulls out of the circular drive. All the others have already left the property. The headlights fade away and leave me alone out front.
No sound resounds in the night, except the usual song of the owls in the trees. My gaze is lost for a second on our extinguished fountain tonight.
The four ribbons have been found. TJ told me who the winners of this second stage were, but I couldn’t concentrate on his words.
Iris won.
I thought I’d won the hunt by finding her before she could unearth a ribbon. I wanted her helpless in my arms.
Holy shit, I hate cheating but I was going to cheat for her. All because I wanted her to reach the next step.
But she didn’t need me to get to that second step. She had found a ribbon. She won it on her own. She pulled it out of her back pocket, waving it in front of me like a trophy. I was fooled like a rookie tonight. She was faster and smarter than me.
Because I thought with my dick.
I hate to lose.
I’m still frustrated. Why is that? I don’t fucking know. Everything went pretty much the way I wanted it to. She jumped right into my trap and got into the game without ever looking back. She passed the second step.
But I didn’t want her to get there on her own.
And then there she was, hot under my fingers, and she stopped everything. That wasn’t the plan.
I run a hand over my tired face and turn to the heavy front door. As I climb the four stone steps, my thoughts don’t shift. My mind is completely consumed by this little slip of woman who should leave me indifferent.
Damn her.
She knew she had already won when I put my mouth against hers. And yet, she was still starting to give herself up to me by devouring me with her little tongue. Was she playing a game? Trying to turn me on, knowing we wouldn’t go any further?
I should have let her go through the first phase alone.
I’m lying to myself.
Watching some random guy take her in the middle of the room when I hadn’t had her myself yet? No way.
Also, despite her curious look, I could see that she wouldn’t take the plunge with all those students. She looks much more conventional, and a pain in the ass. Definitely not my type.
So why have I had a hard-on for almost forty minutes? Damn witch!
Maybe she’s right. Maybe she’s not a helpless lamb. The real question is: will I now be able to leave her alone, as she wants?
I know deep down the answer is no.
