My cheeks blush pink and I pull his mouth down against mine. He picks up his rhythm and I arch into him, meeting him thrust for thrust. Our mouths remain fused as he pounds into me.

Then he pinches my clit, sending a full body shudder coursing through me. His muscles lock as my pussy spasms around him. The explosiveness of our combined orgasms surprises me and all I can do is hold on to him as it takes me under.

We lay there for minutes, catching our breaths and laughing softly as we gaze at each other, the laughter of young people newly and giddily in love. There’s a lightness in my chest and in my mind that I hope I get to keep forever.

Eventually, a knock at my bedroom door startles us.

“We heard some sounds of, uh, let’s call it vigorous agreement, coming from your bedroom–” Bellamy starts, from the other side of the door.

“We heard it all the way from the living room!” Thayer jumps in, her excited voice ringing clearly through the hard wood. “Congrats purely for that, Nera. I’m giving you a thumbs up behind the door, I know you can’t see it.”

“Focus,” we hear Bellamy whisper hiss at her.

“What Bellamy is trying to say is it seems like you guys have made up, sos’il te 1plaîtcan we come in?” Six says, taking over. “We’redyingto know what the hell is going on.”

“And, personally, I’d also like to discuss a potential extension on my Securities paper—”

“Thayer!”

Chapter 39

Tristan

Ishould have told Nera the truth yesterday.

I thought that’s why she’d ended things. When she yelled that she knew what I’d done, I was sure I’d been found out. The relief when I realized she’d misunderstood my dinner with Tess instead was crushing.

That was my opening to bare it all and admit the lie at the foundation of our relationship and I couldn’t do it. Not when I was fresh on experiencing forty-eight hours of hell, not when I knew if I did it’d mean many more days without her.

It was selfish but I was willing to do a lot more than lie to make sure she stayed mine.

I’ll tell her soon, once we’ve settled into our official relationship. Once she realizes how much I truly love her. She won’t be able to leave me then.

“So, are you a pervert?”

The voice and the question alike startle me and pull me out of my thoughts. I turn from my desk and find Sixtine, Thayer, and Bellamy in the doorway of my classroom.

Bellamy is the one who spoke. She and Six march into the room as Thayer closes the door behind them.

“I beg your pardon?” I ask, bewildered.

Six stands in front of my desk with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed on me. Bellamy leans her hip against my desk, a suspicious expression on her face.

“You arrived all moody and mysterious at RCA this year with your perfect cheekbones and obvious scorn for your profession, I mean what’s that about? Did you have to leave your previous school because of some sordid scandal or something?” Thayer asks, sitting nonchalantly on top of a desk in the front row, her feet swinging happily beneath her.

“What she’s asking is, is this like, yourthing?” Bellamy demands. “Hitting on younger girls, sleeping with them, having relationships with them?”

This feels like being accosted and cornered by the Powerpuff Girls. Last night, I knew an extensive debrief between the girls was needed so I left pretty quickly after the three of them knocked on the door. When Nera came over later, she told me they’d grilled her Spanish Inquisition style for hours. She recounted every detail of our story except the declaration of our feelings from earlier that night.

I think part of her is still hesitant to believe that it’s true, that I do love her. She’s been disappointed by that very same reality in the past, so I get it.

It only makes me love her more.

And now it looks like it’s my turn to be interrogated.

“She’s not a girl,” I grit out.
