Chapter 13

You would have thought that a night of mistakes would be enough for me to learn my lesson.

It wasn’t.

Although I was book smart, I wasn’t especially street smart. I hadn’t been exposed to different social situations for long enough to know any better. That was my excuse, anyway. The truth was, I still tasted Austin’s lips on mine, and I secretly wanted more.

“Don’t end up riding his cock,” Brittany had warned me.

I scoffed at that just the other night, but this evening as I finally pulled myself out of bed after sleeping off a head-splitting hangover, I felt like it was a possibility if I kept letting Austin close to me. He still hated me, that was for sure, but he treated me differently than I had expected him to at the party.

I managed to piece together the events from last night well enough to understand how things went. I thought about it as I placed myself into the shower and rinsed off the sweat and grime from the party.

Austin had approached me, being oddly nice to me, like a viper seducing his target. That’s what he had been doing, after all. I knew that he wasn’t actually in love with me. If he couldn’t get me to leave from threats alone, then he would try to destroy me from the inside out. Who says my destruction couldn’t feel good?

Water flowed over my tired shoulders and sore calves as I thought back to the party. By the end of it, I had drunk too many sugary mixed drinks and collapsed onto the couch in the lounge. That’s when Austin had approached me.

I remembered that I complained about Brad, and Austin had said something about sharing a dance with him instead. I had been tempted, but I refused, after which he leaned down and kissed me out of the blue. It had been sudden, but I rolled my eyes at myself when I remembered that I pulled him in, not wanting his lips to leave mine after the kiss.

I licked the water off my lips as I rinsed my scalp under the showerhead, thinking about the softness of Austin’s lips. It was sick to fantasize about a man so cruel, but he was just so freaking hot that I was having trouble keeping a straight head about the whole thing. I wanted to have him but on different terms.

At the same time, as much as I liked Brittany, I didn’t want to end up like her. I was at East Bridge to fulfill my destiny of being a perfect student, then going on to get a nice job and leaving poverty behind.

I soaped beneath my armpits, staring at the gleaming white tile floor as I spaced out again. Austin’s touch came back into my memory. It had been gentle, but then it wasn’t. He had placed a large hand on the back of my neck when he kissed me, squeezing it hard, as though to keep me in place.

I rubbed the muscles in the back of my neck.
