Chapter 13

Godfrey’s cafeteria was a space of polished marble and privilege. Newly built, lavishly furnished, and serving gourmet meals to the academy’s elite. Noah often felt out of place sitting at the quartz countertop tables. This morning especially as he watched Mike work away at seve...

Chapter 14

“Ethan’s been blowing up my phone like fucking crazy. He keeps saying it’s not fair.” Mike’s voice cut through the low rumble of the old projector, Noah and Rachel both looked over at him with annoyance. "You're talking over the movie Mike," Rachel said. They sat crammed into M...

Chapter 17

Rachel's day didn't fare much better after meeting with her mother. Classes dragged, homework never seemed to end, and Rachel's mind endlessly played the words her mother had said. Noah wasn't for her. She came from a different life. It wouldn't last. Eternity wrapped into a si...

Chapter 18

A sliver of sunlight cut through the opening in Rachel’s curtains, spilling across her cheek and waking her. She groaned softly, rolling toward the wall as she tried to cover her face with the bedsheets, only to find that when she pulled them, they remained stuck in place. Her e...

Chapter 19

The Commons at Godfrey were slower than normal, but Noah wasn't complaining. Once a private library built in the late 1800s, the building had been painstakingly restored rather than replaced. Sunlight cast against arching stained-glass windows, scattering soft jewels of color acr...

Chapter 20

Noah stepped out of the Commons, the cool air brushing his face as the warm kissed his face. His mind swirling with confusion and arousal as he processed Rachel’s video. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he didn't bother to check it. He didn’t want to. Not after what he saw....

Chapter 21

Rachel stepped out of the bedroom in her softest pair of athletic shorts and a cropped tank. She tugged at the hem, giving the illusion of adjusting something that didn’t need fixing. She could feel Noah's eyes gravitate towards her as she walked into the living room. At least th...

Chapter 22

The bar was absolute chaos. Heat, music, and bodies packed tightly together, creating an unmistakable energy that could only be found in a college dive bar. The place smelled like old beer and sweat. Christmas lights clung to the rafters, and the walls were covered in rusted tool...

Chapter 23

The lock clicked shut, sealing them both inside the tiny bathroom. Rachel did her best to avoid touching the walls as Ethan turned to her. She stared at him coldly as he leaned casually against the door. "Finally alone at last," he said smoothly. Rachel’s skin bristled at the c...

Chapter 24

Noah and Rachel stumbled out of the bar into the cool night air. Rachel giggled as she clung to Noah’s arm, nearly tripping over a crooked slab of concrete. Noah steadied her, smelling the sweet perfume clinging to her neck. “Careful,” he said between laughs. “I’m fine,” she sa...

Chapter 25

Noah woke slowly as sunlight warmed the edges of Rachel’s bedroom. Rachel was tucked against him, her golden hair a tangle on the pillow, one leg draped across his. She had wrapped herself in the comforter like a burrito, with only her bare shoulder peeking through. Noah smiled...

Chapter 26

Rachel woke to sunlight streaking across her face and the scent of Noah on her sheets. With a yawn, she reached her arm out beside her, surprised when her fingertips grazed cool linen rather than Noah’s shoulder. She felt around for a moment, then noted the silence of the apartme...

Chapter 27

Two weeks had passed, and Rachel made every effort to keep her life as quiet as possible. She silenced text notifications, left Ethan’s messages on read, declined Mike’s impromptu visits, and pretended everything was normal. She even tried to pretend she was normal. Knowing, deep...

Chapter 28

Rachel sat at the bar, drumming her fingers against its black, glossy surface. She shouldn't have been surprised that Ethan wanted to pick somewhere so upscale, and in the city, no less. It was clear he was trying to pull out all the stops, and when Ethan finally did show up exac...

Chapter 29

Noah watched Rachel orgasm on Ethan’s cock as he exploded into a bundle of toilet paper in his hand. He let out a haggard breath and leaned back on the toilet. Exhaling with deep satisfaction. When he heard several people from his dorm floor enter the communal bathroom, he scramb...

Chapter 30

Rachel held her phone in one hand and Noah's in the other. He guided them through the crowd amassing in Godfrey's center plaza. It was the annual country festival, and they were braving it to get a pair of tickets to the semi-final game. But at the moment, Rachel’s attention was...

Chapter 31

Noah was lost in memories as they walked down the stairs to the locker room. As they turned the corner and faced two blue push doors, Noah found himself locked in place. It was like the dread in his stomach had sunk to the bottom of his feet and solidified, making it impossible t...

Chapter 32

Rachel stared at Noah while he slept. He had pushed his face into the pillow so hard it had left a mark. It made her smile to see him like this, and judging by his enthusiasm last night, he’d likely be out for a while longer. The evening with Ethan had been out of this world, an...
