But what if he downloads it?

I ignore the tiny seed of worry. I’ll make sure this doesn’t go too far. I can say red at any time and put a stop to it.

Knowing he’s waiting for a response, I scoop up my phone and reply.

Me: Yes, it excited me.

Unknown number: You’ll enjoy my mouth on you a lot more. Come to the bench an hour after curfew. Put your blindfold on and wait for instructions. Red or green?

Me: Green.

I rub a hand over my thigh, but it does nothing to dispel the nervous excitement.

“Arabella, are you okay? You look like you’re going to puke,” Linda calls.

I look in her direction, where the other cheerleaders are stretching. “Actually, I’m not feeling so good. Cramps. I might skip practice today.”

Tina laughs, her hand falling to her hip. “Too much dick yesterday? I think the entire dorm building heard you and Miles at it.”

“Weren’t you almost caught banging a boy last term out in the woods?” Lacy pauses in the middle of her stretches to say sweetly. “You were moaning so loudly that security came running.”

Tina’s face turns cherry red.

“We never did find out who that was,” my roommate muses. “Go right ahead, Arabella. You can make up for it after classes in the week.”

Gathering my stuff, I make my way back to the dorm.

I check my phone from under the covers. A frisson of adrenaline rushes through me when I see the time. Lacy is fast asleep, and I’ve been lying on my bed waiting for hours.

I crawl off the mattress, find my sneakers and fanny pack, then tiptoe across the room. I’m out of the door before nervousness can get the better of me.

I keep to the shadows once I’m outside, and I’m just about to break into a run when I see movement to my right. I freeze and flatten myself against the wall. A pair of students come into view. Huddled together, they hurry across the grass to the other end of the campus.

Not to the woods.

Relief unlocks my muscles. I wait until they’ve vanished, and I’m more cautious as I sprint for the trees. The rest of the run is a blur, and before I know it, I’m standing in front of the bench. My heart is racing, and butterflies fill my stomach. I tug out the blindfold and put it on.

I don’t move. Don’t breathe. Listening to the silence and every tiny sound that breaks it.

“Ready to play, Kitten?” The voice is so close to my ear that it makes me jump.

I nod. “Yes.”

He gives a soft laugh. “So eager. But you still have to answer my question from earlier. No orgasms if you can’t remember.”

“Miles made me come five times using his mouth.” I shift from side to side as I spin the lie. “Yes, I was thinking about you when he did it, and yes, I want you to lick me five times between my legs.”

Fingers curl around my bicep in a hard, unyielding grip. I have no choice but to move when he drags me forward.

“Duck your head.”

Stooping at the warning, I stagger forward.

He’s taken me to the tomb again.

A gloved hand wraps around my throat, and my breath hitches. “You want my hands and mouth on your body out here in the dark? You want me to make you come? A stranger you know nothing about? That’s not what good girls wish for, Kitten.”
