And that’s exactly what I was doing. Keeping myself safe from all the unwanted attention. Keeping myself safe from the memories of the past.
“I’ll see you in the morning.”
Walking past her, I pull the front door open and cross the hallway. I barely manage to knock twice before the door opens, and Penelope appears in the doorway. She changed after class, a big tee hanging all the way to her mid-thigh, her hair pulled back in a messy bun.
If you don’t want to do it for yourself, do it for Penelope. You don’t want her to get hurt, do you?
“Dammit, Birdy.” I wrap my arms around her, my heart beating wildly in my chest as I squeeze her to me.
“Sebastian!” she squeals as I raise her feet off the ground, but she doesn’t try to push me away. “What’s going on?”
“You should really check who’s at the door before opening.”
“It’s not like that many people are knocking on my door,” she chuckles. “Besides, I planned to come and see you. I guess it’s true what they say: ‘Great minds think alike.’”
That unsettling feeling grows bigger inside my gut. The thought of leaving her is terrifying for whatever reason.
“Yeah,” I say, my voice sounding gruff even to my own ears.
Penelope notices it, too, because her brows pull together. “Hey, are you okay?”
Walking inside her place, I close the door and press her against it, my mouth crashing against hers. My hand sneaks behind her, making sure the door is locked as I kiss her deeply. Her legs wrap around my waist and squeeze me tightly.
Breaking the kiss, I cup her cheeks in my palms. Her skin is rosy, her lips puffy from the kiss. “Now, I’m perfect.”
She lifts her hand, almost in a daze, the tip of her finger tracing the underside of my lip. “Take me to bed?”
I don’t need to be asked twice.
Pulling her to me, I take us to her room, my mouth not leaving hers until we’re there. We don’t waste time stripping our clothes and getting into bed. My hands roam her body, trying to feel every inch of her skin. I kiss her, my tongue darting to lick and taste her until she squirms underneath me.
If she notices my desperation, she doesn’t comment on it or protest. No, her body willingly accepts mine as I slide into her wet heat, our fingers interlocking.
Penelope lets out a soft moan, her fingers gripping my shoulders as I thrust into her deeper. I grit my teeth, trying to hold back my release, but it’s useless. As our tongues twist together, my hand sneaks between our bodies, finding her clit. I rub the small bundle of nerves, feeling it pulse under my touch. And then her pussy grips my dick tightly, making my vision go dark as we come together, and after that, nothing else matters.
Only her.

I look down the dim hallway, focusing on the hardwood door. My heart starts beating faster, my palms turn sweaty, the panic rises inside of me like a tsunami waiting to strike as I just stare at the door.
No, no, no.
This can’t be happening.
Not again.
I try to resist the pull, try to stop myself from walking, but it’s like an invisible hand is pulling me forward.
I lift my arm, wrapping my fingers around the doorknob and twisting it. There is an ominous creaking sound as the door opens. I grip the doorway, my heartbeat echoing in my eardrums as I look around the dimly lit room until my gaze drops to the floor.
I stagger back when I see the body lying there.
Completely lifeless.
I’m not sure how long I just stand there and stare at him, my brain taking in the situation in snapshots.
The unnatural angle of his limbs. His impossibly pale skin. Messy hair. Dark circles under his eyes. White powder underneath his nostrils. The puke covered the toilet and the floor next to it.
