“Hello?”

“Where the fuck are you?” Preston growls. “There was an early host club meeting this morning.”

“Shit,” I groan, closing my eyes. “I forgot. Is it too late?”

“Yes, we just finished. I tried texting you. Why didn’t you pick up?” Sadie gets up off the bed, and I know she can hear Preston on the other side. The room is quiet, and he’s...not. “What’s more important than keeping your required engagements?”

Sadie snatches the phone from my hand. “He was busy getting his cock sucked like a fucking hoover until he fed me his cum. Then he ate me out until I screamed his name, devouring my pussy. That’s what was more important than some stupid boys club meeting,” Sadie sasses, all smug as fuck, before hanging up on him.

I gape at her. I’m going to have to hear about this later, but that was so fucking sexy.

“Come on, big guy. As much as I’d like to sit here and admire your sinful body, I need to get home and shower before school.” She winks, handing me my phone back and grabbing her pants off the floor.

“Wait!” I tell her, getting a pair of gray sweatpants out of my dresser and handing them to her. “I don’t think you want to walk home with a white spot over your crotch,” I chuckle.

“And you would be right about that.” She laughs and slips them on. “Gray sweatpants, huh? Think you could wear these one day?” She wiggles her brows, making me laugh harder.

“Anything for you, Sweetheart.”

She gives me a beaming smile at that, and now all I want to do is make her smile. To see her happy.

I rush to slip on a clean uniform and we head out. The whole way to her house, Sadie and I talk about the movies she's excited to see next month. She tells me that every night of October she watches a horror movie, even the corny ones.

And when she asks me to join her again, I feel like I’ve been given the moon. I accept because I would be an idiot if I didn’t, and that makes her smile even more. At this point, I'm not sure if there's anything I wouldn’t do for this girl.

I wait in her kitchen for her to shower and get ready. To pass the time and knowing she won't have time to grab anything to eat, I whip her up some eggs and toast.

“Alright, I think I’m good to go,” she says, stepping into the kitchen.

She’s dressed in her red and gold skirt and a baggy red school sweatshirt. Her hair is still damp, and she has no makeup on. She’s gorgeous and puts any model to shame.

“What's this?” she asks, looking down at the plate of food. “Declan...” she whispers. “You didn’t have to do this for me.”

“I did. You need to eat. So, eat up and then I’ll walk us to school.”

She smiles and sits down. She takes a moment to examine the eggs. “No yolk? How did you know?”

“There's a lot I know about you, Sadie Evans,” is all I say in response.

She bites her lower lip as she looks down at the food again. She takes a bite and moans. “Marry me?” she mumbles around the pieces of food before taking another bite.

That's the plan, isn’t it? I’m not going to end my engagement with Mia just to date Sadie with the hopes of something more. I want Sadie to be mine, for life.

Only thing is, I’m not the only one. Why did Collin have to come back now? He was gone for years while we were here. We watched over her. We did our best to keep her safe.

When she got sick before we came to the university building, Grayson and I felt horrible because there was nothing we could do.

I heard it was a bad flu that hit her hard. Still killed me that she was suffering.

Collin can’t just swoop in and claim her. That’s not how this works, is it?

Sadie isn’t the kind of girl who would allow that. No, Sadie’s been hurt; she needs actions, not words. And that's what I plan to do, show her I can love her, I can treat her right. That I would never cheat on her, never choose someone else over her.

Even if a piece of my heart longs for another, she will always be the one I choose at the end of the day. Because she's the only one who's showing that I’m just as worthy. I deserve to be loved and wanted too, right?
