“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” he demanded.
“I might ask you the same thing. Don’t you have a game to play? Coach won’t like the fact that you’re out here during intermission.”
“Meaning leave Josh alone, he doesn’t deserve to be crushed by you.”
“Why?”
“Because I might decide that there is actually something going on between you, instead of you just trying to piss me off, and that wouldn’t be good for Josh.” “Why? What are you going to do to him? You can’t fight with him, you’ll get kicked off the team!”
“Cayden, be serious, you can’t—” I started, my heart all but in my throat. “I can do whatever I want. I have done whatever I want, and breaking someone’s leg would be the least of it. Don’t test me, Lily. You don’t know what I’m capable of, and you don’t want to know,” he said quietly, leaning close to me. “After what we shared the other night, you turning around and bringing someone between us won’t be tolerated, do you understand? Since you don’t seem to care that I could leak your journal, then think of Josh’s safety and don’t risk it.”
“You expect me to believe that ‘what we shared’ was so special to you. You pushed me in the pool! You orchestrated all of it!”
“Stop celebrating. I’m not done with you,” Cayden suddenly warned.
“You don’t wear his number, or anyone else’s but mine.” “You’re such a bully. I’d rather go out there naked
than wear yours.”
“Asshole!” I
“That’s right. I’m the asshole who owns you. Don’t forget it again.”
“Now, shut the fuck up like a good girl and stop pretending you don’t like it. Liars get spanked.”
My little Ladybug
If he wanted to freak me out, it was working. It was really fucking working.
I said I wasn’t someone to mess with. You really should have, Lily.”
“You pushed me in the pool and threatened me – you’ve done everything you can to get under my skin and scare me!”
“I’ll die first.”
“I don’t hate you,”
“I don’t hate you, Lily. I really, really don’t fucking hate you,” he said solemnly.
“I haven’t fucking hated you since the moment we met.” “But you threatened me! You tried to scare me.”
“Because you saw too much about me…I didn’t want to look at you knowing that you’d seen it all.”
“But then you went and found out the rest, anyway. Admit it, you were never that afraid of me ...

“You’re right. I’ve never really been scared of you, Cayden. And I’m still not scared of you now.”
He was beautiful.
“If that’s true, then there’s only one obstacle to getting everything I want...and that’s you, Freckles. Only you have the power to ruin my chances here.”
“I should hate you.
It would be easier,”
“You – I want to see you,”
“Don’t stop touching me.”
“If you don’t want me to have all of you, you shouldn’t do that, Lily. I’m only human.”
“Lily, this isn’t your dream journal. If you want me to fuck you…you need to tell me.” “I want you to fuck me,” I blurted before I could overthink it or get embarrassed.
“I’ve never met anyone I wanted to do this with before, so I’ve never needed them.”
“So, go easy on me, Freckles. You’re nearly too much for me to handle.”
“Too much everything. Over and above me, all fucking around me, everywhere I look, it’s you.” His words were raw, pulled from a place of complete truth.
“You’re going to destroy me, I can already tell.”
“Where the fuck do you think you’re going,
Freckles?”
“Um, aren’t we done?” I...

Freckles.
I couldn’t get the time I’d spent with Lily out of my head. Everything in there reminded me of her.
trusted her, I’d opened myself up to her, and she’d betrayed me. Lillian. Freckles. I’d make her pay for all of it.
Oh, and the dreams. Every single night I’d dreamed of him, and now, they were only more detailed.
“What do you want?”
“I just wanted to talk to you.
“I don’t have anything to say to you.” He made to push past me.
“Cayden, stop,”
I was getting attached. It was so predictable. Now, my heart was looking for any sign that he cared about me further than the other night. My first time. Our first time.
Cayden was silent for a painful second. “What are you playing at, Lily? What do you want from me?”
“I guess I just trust you not to hurt me, no matter what,”
