Deceit (Gallows Hill, #1)

by Katelyn Taylor

I also didn’t expect to walk into my new dorm and find a naked woman bent over a queen sized bed as a man’s bare ass thrusts into her savagely.

“But, if you ever get sick of these men, let me know. I eat pussy way better than all of them put together,” she says, with a wink that makes me laugh.

“It means, if a teacher is looking at you the way I am, you should definitely report them.”

“Happiness is just a fairy tale dream. Even if you think you have it, think you can taste it, you’ll wake up soon enough and it will fade from your mind, until you can’t remember it at all.”

“In the lack of happiness or light, or anything relatively good, there is always hope. It’s always sitting there, idly by, ready for you to take it. You just have to be brave enough to.”

“I don’t need a reason. No is a complete sentence,”

“Christ baby, you’re fucking soaking my pants.” “I’m sorry,” I pant as I continue my movements, angling myself so my clit is perfectly stimulated against his cock. “Don’t be,” he practically growls. “It’s so hot. Ride me, baby. Make that pretty little pussy come all over my suit.”

“Are you telling me, I’ll be the first person to taste this sweet pussy?”

“Goddamnit, baby. You smell like fucking heaven. I’m gonna fucking devour this pussy.”

“On the contrary, Miss Parris. I think it’s just right. That is, unless you let any man off the street eat your pussy until you come all over his face or ride his lap until you soak his pants?.”

“I could never and will never get over you, Skyla. I’m already fucking sunk. My life is literally on the line here, yours too, but I’m here. I’m thinking about you in ways I shouldn’t, holding you like you’re mine to keep. I can honestly say that I don’t see a reality where you won’t be my every moment’s desire.”

“Where are we going?” “I was going to ask you the same thing, babygirl. You seemed so confident of your path I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“Just Liam, babygirl, or daddy. Whatever you’re in the mood for,” I say with a wink.

“Liam,” she gasps. “Fuck,” I groan. “You can’t say my name like that, babygirl.” “Why not?” she asks, her head lifted slightly to meet my eyes. “Because, it makes me want to fuck you raw, right here on the hood of my car.”

“Fuck me, guess I have a high bar to set for you. Sit back and relax, babygirl. I’m gonna finger fuck you until you soak the hood of this car.”

“Bullshit. We were together. Just because we didn’t put a label on it doesn’t mean you weren’t mine and I wasn’t yours.”

“You. I want you, Skyla. I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll beg and plead, I’ll lay at your feet and kneel before you every day. Whatever you need, whatever you want, it’s yours. I would stop the earth on its axis for you.”

“This belongs to you, only you. I need you more than I need air in my lungs, or the feeling of water around me on a hard day. If you don’t want me though, I’ll understand and I’ll let you go.”

“Where are your panties, baby?”

“This life we were born into is hard, all innocence, kindness and compassion was practically beaten out of us from birth. Not her though. She’s like a goddamn unicorn in our world, and everywhere around us there are people ready to slaughter her. I won’t let that happen.”

“What about him? If he’s not going to recognize what a perfect diamond was laid before his feet, I’m certainly not going to pass it up. You deserve to be taken care of, treasured. He’s so unworthy of you, it’s unreal. I just hope that my dumbass hasn’t earned the same fate,”

“What if we didn’t make you choose? What if you could be with both of us?”

Could I really date two men at the same time? To make matters worse, while I’m technically engaged? To make it even worse, when one of those men is my fiancé’s best friend while the other is his uncle…Yeah, I don’t see that blowing up in any of our faces in the future.

“What exactly have I done to you, Asher? You don’t care for Skyla. You can’t stand her. I’m sorry I fell in love with her, really. I am. How do you think I feel? I’m in love with a woman who I will never be able to fully have. I have this piece with her now, but she’s marrying my fucking nephew. I’ll lose her one day, we both will,”

“You’re entrancing. Like a mythical creature dwelling in bodies of water, luring men to their death just for a look at you.”

“But I promise as your husband, to treat you with all the respect you deserve. It’s not a perfect situation, but I’m going to try to at least make it a good one.”

Tune in next week, for another exciting episode of Asher Putnam and his emotional constipation!

“FINE! You want me to admit that I have feelings for you? That I’ve fallen so fucking hard for you and I don’t know how to get up? You want me to sit here, and tell you how I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you from the moment I met you? How you have always occupied a majority of my headspace, but now…” he takes a long pause as he laughs hollowly. “Now, I’m absolutely FUCKED. There is no room for anything except you. Skyla Parris, is practically inked into my DNA, there forever, and I can’t have her,”

“You know what the worst part is?” he smiles angrily. “We’re going to be married tomorrow, you’re going to be my wife and I still won’t have you. Not in the way that counts, not in the way I want you.”

“Come on, let’s let her and her boyfriend figure this out while we drill her other boyfriend as to why the fuck he’s been avoiding my girlfriend.”

“You, me, this house. I pictured bringing you home after the wedding, and getting you out of that white dress that will no doubt drive me fucking wild all night. I would have kissed you, before making sure my lips touched every single inch of your skin. I’d have given you a minimum of two orgasms before I even tried to fuck you, intent on easing you into it.” “And then?” I practically beg. His hand reaches out to me cupping my jaw as he brings us so close together, our lips brush against one another as he speaks. “And then I would have made love to you for hours. Over and over again, knowing that I could never have my fill of you but trying nonetheless.”

“Tomorrow will easily be one of the hardest things we will both ever face, I won’t lie,” he admits as he continues. “But today…right now, I want to take something, just for us. No one interfering, no one demanding. Something they will never be able to take away,”

“Is that a smile? Did you just smile?! For a girl? Oh my god! And you’re holding hands? Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?”

“Babygirl, you have magic love powers or something. All you have to do is look at a man and he’s head over heels for you.”
