Page 35 of When October Starts

With his right hand, he cupped my tit and squeezed it before pulling off my bikini top. I wasn’t patient enough to go through the whole foreplay thing, so I reached down to push off his shorts, then my bikini bottoms.

I lifted my hand again and cupped his cheek with it, then broke the kiss to look at him. “I need you,” I whispered.

“I’ll always be right by your side, Juno.”

He grabbed his cock and stroked it, then, in one swift move, he slid into me. No matter how often we had sex, that first thrust was always the most intense one. I loved feeling him inside of me without anything being between us, especially when he came deep inside of me.

Like any other girl who took the pill and didn’t use condoms, I had a few pregnancy scares. Luckily, there was nothing growing inside of me yet. I wanted to have a family someday, and I wanted Ezra to be the father of my kids.

But right now, I wanted to enjoy the time we got together.

We were perfect, and as soon as I turned eighteen, we could finally be together without being constantly scared of getting caught.

Ezra was my everything.

Aggie always said that things happened for a reason, and I deeply believed in that. Ezra happened, and it was clear to me that I couldn’t have just ignored him, no matter our circumstances.

I wished that only good things happened for a reason, but I should’ve been more careful, because soon enough, all the walls we built around us crumbled, destroying everything Ezra and I had built to protect our love.

Chapter Thirty

Juno

“And you’re sure you want me to delete all the videos and pictures in this folder? What about all the memories? They’ll all get deleted from your iCloud.” Pixie and I were in the studio where I put together my movie back in November, and since I was the only student ever using the room, Benji assigned me to clean it before summer break. Our finals were on Friday, so we had three days left.

“I’m positive. I have the movie on my laptop at home, and Benji got his copy already. So, delete all of it. It’s just footage I didn’t use.”

I was wiping down the shelves which had nothing on them anymore. Even that metal bar that ripped my tights vanished.

I grinned at the thought of me trying to seduce Ezra in the classroom. We hadn’t really talked since we spent the last Friday afternoon together by the lake. Pixie came over for the weekend to study for our finals, and I had to try to not think of him the whole time.

It was hard, but I somehow managed to make some space in my brain for Math and the other subjects. Today, he wasn’t in school. Benji allowed him to stay home to look through the exam papers to make sure there weren’t any mistakes in them, and that everything made sense.

“Holy shit,” Pixie whispered.

“Another video of you where you lookhideous?” I chuckled.

Pixie was quiet, and all I could hear was the clicking of the mouse. Then, I could hear her say something under her breath, but I didn’t understand what it was.

I turned to look at her, and her face was pale.

“What?” I asked, my heart immediately beating faster. “Pixie…what is it?”

The way she stared at the screen made me anxious, and I tried to remember what kind of pictures and videos were on there.

I didn’t move, scared to see what she was seeing. “Pixie,” I whispered, hoping her disgusted expression would suddenly turn into a grin, telling me she was just messing with me.

“How long have you been…sleeping with Ezra?”

For a second, I felt like the room was spinning, and my vision blurred as my eyes filled with tears.

“It’s not what it looks like,” I lied, still no knowing what she was seeing on that computer.

Pixie got up and turned the screen around, and a picture of Ezra holding me close to his chest while kissing my head was displayed. I remembered him taking that picture. It was in December as we went to a Christmas market two towns over.

My mouth was dry, and I tried to speak to defend myself, even though there was nothing I could say that would justify me hanging out with our teacher.

Tears rolled down my face, and Pixie shook her head slowly. “This is disgusting,” she muttered, reaching for the flash drive next to the keyboard.
