The journey from the private airstrip is about forty-five minutes, but it feels like forever. Finally, I see the gates to SA and the driver turns in, driving up the long, sweeping driveway to the imposing building. Normally, I can’t wait to get back here after being home, but right now, I feel torn.
I text our group chat to let them know I’m here.
Me: Just pulling up. See you guys in a minute.
Kevin stops the car in front of the entrance and gets out, opening my door. “I’ll take your bags to your dorm for you. Is there anything else you need?” he asks.
I shake my head. “No, that’s all. Thanks Kevin.”
He nods. “Don’t mention it.”
My phone dings.
Eva: Come to my room. You are first here.
Eva has responded and I groan as although I do like Eva, I don’t really like being on my own with her. I don’t know why. It seems compared to Nat and Camilla, we just don’t click the same.
Dragging my heels, I head toward the dorms and Eva’s room. I pause for a few moments outside her door, reconsidering going in there. And then the door opens before I do.
“I thought I heard you. Why are you lingering in the corridor?”
I shrug. “Sorry, I’m a bit tired and was considering going to have a nap first.” I twirl a strand of my hair around my finger. “What’s this news?”
Eva purses her lips. “I can’t really say until the others get here. Do you know what time they’re supposed to arrive?”
I glance at my watch. “Camilla said about midday, so soon. Nat said she’d try to be here mid-afternoon, I think.”
Eva nods. “Okay, what do you want to do in the meantime?”
“How about a movie in my room? I’m tired and that doesn’t take much energy.”
“Sounds good. I’ll get some snacks together and come over in a minute.”
I return to my room, where Kevin has left my bags. My brow furrows as I see a gift on the top of them. Walking over to it, I check the card.
A little aid for our texting sessions x
I swallow hard and open the box, gasping when I see the large dildo inside and some other sex toy that I can’t identify. It’s flared at the base. My stomach churns as Archer is insane if he thinks I’m keeping sexting him while I’m here at the academy.
The distance made it feel less real, but I won’t be doing it while I’ll be seeing him on almost a daily basis. Quickly, I take the gift into my closet and hide it at the back, as there’s no way I want anyone seeing what Coach sent me.
Eva knocks on the door and I rush to open it, to find it’s not Eva. Archer is standing there in the doorway.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
He smirks. “I saw your car drive up and thought I’d come and say hi.” He glances past me. “Did you get your gift?”
“Archer, fuck off. Eva is going to be here any minute.”
He tilts his head. “That’s no way to speak to your coach, is it?”
I clench my jaw. “Seriously. Get out of here.”
“Not until I get a kiss.”
I grind my teeth together, knowing that this is partially my fault. Leading him on with the texting was foolish and now I’m dealing with the consequences. “No. I told you that I’m not interested.”
Just like in the classroom the night of winter formal, he doesn’t listen. Instead, he lunges forward and grabs me by the throat, pulling my lips against his in a harsh, violent kiss that steals the air from my lungs.
