‘We were chasing paradise

When I saw it in your eyes

You were teaching me to fly’

Barcelona – Brother Leo

October, Halloween Ball Night …

Jamie

Nathan. Jake. Nathan. Jake. Nathan. Jake.

My heart beats to the rhythm of my raging thoughts.

I let Jake lead me away from the dancefloor and into the hallway. His hand on the back of my neck is tight and possessive. The control that emanates from him is unsettling.

There are a few things I now know about him.

Jake never needs to say a word for anyone to know what he’s like. He simply dominates. There is no other option, no mercy, no compassion. Jake takes no prisoners, what he wants, he gets.

There are a few things I now know about myself.

I’m not as good as I thought I was. I’m not the innocent girl my friends and family think I am.

Jake ruined that for me. He ruined me.

In the best way possible.

I’m not sure what we are. I’m not sure what we are doing. I’m not sure where this is going. But I know for sure I should have never accepted to go to the ball with him. It was a mistake.

One amongst many others.

I take a shallow breath as Jake meanders his way through the school until we’re in the cafeteria. No one is going to find us here.

It’s him and me now.

Nathan. Jake. Nathan. Jake. Nathan. Jake.

Oh, Nathan. No one can make me feel as safe as Nathan does. He’s my anchor, he’s my prince charming. He saves me from the nightmares, from the bad guys, from the trauma I endured in my life. He protects me like no one ever has.

I don’t have time to wonder what I’m doing here. As soon as the door closes, Jake pushes me against the wall and grabs my long dress.

I’m completely out of breath. My mind isn’t clear. It’s been fogged up by Jake’s powerful scent, his burning skin, his soft hair.

His sinful beauty.

Sinful. That’s what Jake is... The devil hidden behind an angelic face. No one could have expected what was hiding behind the golden-boy act. I sure didn’t.

Jake is the epitome of darkness. The kind you’re happy to drown into. The kind that calls your name and you fall into without an ounce of regret. Before I can think of what’s going on, my panties are off and in his back pocket.

On his knees in front of me, he puts one of my legs on his shoulders.

My head hits the wall behind me, and a flash of my darkest desires takes over.

Jake grabs both my thighs tightly in his strong hands and squeezes. His hot mouth is on my wet pussy the next second.
