I hold fast.

Her cheeks flush, and she meets my gaze. “I’m going to make your life a living hell.”

“Ah.” I tap her palm. “But how will you do that if I can do the same to you? One click, and that video goes public.”

“You’ve already used my real name. People can find me. Is that what you want? Especially after you heard about Max, huh? You thought, gee, she has a stalker, let’s make it super easy for him to find a video of herhaving sex.” She scowls. “If you can even call it that.”

She’s cute when she’s mad. She’s wearing an oversized sweater, but atthisangle, I have a view down the gaping collar to the black bralette that cups her tits.

Oh, to be the lace pressed against her nipples.

I drop the notebook on top of her bag, then rise. Still holding her wrist, I hoist her to her feet. One quick pull, and she collides with my chest.

She’s hottest when she’s off-balance. When I can feel her shape against my body.

When she doesn’t know what’s coming next.

“How about… you sneak intomyroom tonight?” I suggest. “You blow me to my satisfaction, and I’ll change the name on the WatchMe profile.”

She blinks fast. Thinking it over? Trying to hide the shot of lust that probably went straight between her legs?

I tip my head. “That would require you returning to the hockey house, of course.”

“Of course,” she echoes. “You want me to suck your dick, and you’ll change the name on the account to what?”

“Hmm.” I tilt my head. “Your porn star name could be something sweet. Candy, maybe. No, not with that expression. Sour Patch Kid is a mouthful and might send the wrong message. I don’t know, Harper. I’ll think on it.”

I release her, and she stumbles back.

I don’t move while she gathers her notebook, textbook, bag. She doesn’t bother shoving everything into it, just clutches it all to her chest and speeds away.

Well,Ithought it was a good offer.

Maybe I should call her Venom. She has enough of it inside her. And it’s fitting for this school… Harper truly is an FSU Viper.

HARPER

My mind filters throughthe worst that could happenon my way to the library. Olivia’s in class over at her school, but she promised she’d return to meet me here later. The FSU library is generally a pretty safe place to be. It’s full of other students and staff, at least until dinnertime.

But I wasn’t expecting Camden to intercept me—or his proposition. Changing the name on the account wouldn’t solve everything, but it would help. It could stop Max from finding the page—and right now, Max is my biggest problem.

Which means giving in to his demand.

Great.

I pull out my phone and scroll through my recent messages. Olivia checking in, Royal…

Royal

Seriously, you can’t stay at Olivia’s forever

Blink twice if you’re alive

Well, Connor said he heard you and Olivia in the house the other day, so nice to know you’re still breathing

Your stuff got delivered
