“Tell me, baby.”

“You’re fucked up, Cortland.”

I hold her tighter, forearms locked around her back as I inhale her.

I wrap one hand around the back of her neck gently, still keeping her pinned to me. I think about those cuts on her arm.

“And now, so are you.” I shift my hand to the front of her neck, pushing her back so I can take in her eyes as she glares up at me. I lean down close, in her space.“Isn’t that right, Remi?”

She closes her eyes tight, her full lips pulling down at the corners. I remember them wrapped around Brinklin’s cock. She had no idea what to do with it. He gave up after he pushed into her mouth once. Twice. He jerked himself off before he came in her mouth. I thought she enjoyed trying, though.

She was so innocent.

So, so beautiful.

“Say, ‘that’s right, Cortland,’” I whisper, brushing my mouth over hers.

She swallows, the sound audible in the night as we both hold our breath, waiting. But finally, she gives it to me.

What I need.

“That’s right, Cortland.”

And as I grab her shit, slinging her backpack over my shoulder, my arm wrapped around her while I walk her back to her dorm once more, grateful Maya showed me the way before, I know what she said is true.

I’m so fucked up.

Shefucked me up.

CHAPTER

TWENTY-FIVE

REMI

Cortland

I’m sorry for being a dick. But I meant what I said. I can’t stop thinking about you.

I’ve gathered that.

Cortland

Smart ass.

Not very smart since I’m hanging out with you.

Cortland

I don’t want you to see anyone else. Until we figure this shit out.

I thinkabout his words from hours ago in the cemetery. We aren’t dating. That’s not what this is. I know that. And heisa dick. But his anger... it kind of matches mine. Angry at the same thing, on different sides of the table.

But once again, his possessiveness from earlier, it makes my sick heart feel…good.It can’t be one-sided, though. That’s not enough for me.

What about you?

Cortland
