The Worst Kind of Promise (Riverside Reapers #2)

by Celeste Briars

The guy I’m secretly in love with—the guy who looks at me like I’m his kid sister.

Kit races over to me and yanks me up by the arms, pulling me into his large chest. His grip suffocates me, but I don’t try to pull away. He’s mumbling something into my hair, his hand cradling the back of my head, the rapid thundering of his heart a steady medium in my ears.

get an intoxicating whiff of the bergamot cologne he always wears, which only lightly masks the heady musk of him. I covertly breathe him in, losing myself in his scent, the proximity, the safety of it all.

“Look, Faye, when you called me…I’ve never been so afraid in my entire life. I was worried something bad had happened to you, and I was right. I need to know I’m keeping you safe, otherwise I’m going to lose my mind.”

Friends? I’ve never hated one word so much in my entire life.

Me personally i would've crashed df out

Did I seriously just say that? Why did I say that? Why couldn’t I just tell her the truth? I want to be so much more than just friends.

smirks

God, I want to kiss her right now. So badly. But I can’t. I can’t, and the pain of it smothers me like a weighted blanket.

Faye’s the embodiment of everything pure in this world, like the furry, white heads of blooming dandelions swirling away in a summer breeze, or the way seafoam laps

between your toes before dissolving into damp granules of sand.

The way he talks abt her im internally screaming rn

Jesus. I want to hug her, touch her. I want to hold her in my arms and never let go.

I just…I care about you. A lot more than I care about most people.

“You’re so content with carrying all this weight on your shoulders. Now let me carry some of it for you.”

“God, I’m starving. Maybe I should just order one of everything. Are you allergic to anything?”

Hes so nervous & its so cute

“When it’s fun sized and dangerously addictive like you, I am very afraid.”

“If you wanted me on my knees, Faye, all you had to do was ask,”

IM SCREAMINGGGGG

can’t! I’m so fucking hard right now that I can’t think straight. You do this to me. No other girl does, okay? All of the girls I’ve been with haven’t held a candle to you. You’re all I ever think about, and it kills me that I can’t have you.”

If Faye asked me to make her a dining table from scratch, I’d make her that goddamn table, even with my one woodshop class worth of experience.

“Princess, you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.”

I’m crazy about her. So crazy that my heart hurts whenever I remember she’s not mine to have.

Faye grows deathly silent, evades my eyes, and blushes so brightly it looks like she’s glowing.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO real.

And veiny. Very veiny.

Veiny hands [heart eyes emoji]

Hayes’ wrists tied to the headboard and a blindfold over his eyes. Aeris, who I’ve grown to love like a sister, stands in a black corset, thong, thigh garter, and heels, wielding a shoe in her hand and huffing like she just ran a mile.

IM CRYING LMFAOAOAOAOAOAOAAO

“I have to shit!” I whisper-scream.

LMFAOAOOOOA do nit have me weak rn bye

The guys are at the rink right now, so I have the house to myself for the first time since I arrived. It’s nice. It’s peaceful. I don’t need to chant a calming mantra to myself to lower my blood pressure.

Pls dont masturbate!

“Is this what you want, Princess? For me to eat you out right here, where anyone can walk in and catch us?”

IM SCREAMKN HELP ME PLS

“You like the idea of being watched, don’t you? You’re a fucking whore for it.”

that’s all mine, Faye.”

XXL condom, he gives me front row seats to a lascivious show, slowly rolling it down his twitching length. I’ve never been so turned on in my life.

“Which position, Princess?”

AHHHHHH

“Turn around. Bite the headboard,”

“You’re mine, Faye. Do you hear that? This pretty, pink pussy, this fuckable ass, that perfect, swinging pair of tits, those flawless legs of yours. Everything about you—mine.”

want him forever, out in the open, guilt-free.

“Why are you doing this to me? To

Who df blackmailing him

I nod.

You dumb hoe

Is that what love feels like? And if so, am I destined to live a life smothered in a smog-infused atmosphere?

I’m welcomed by the sight of a Barnes & Noble, outlined in a golden aureole, luster glinting off the dark green awning.

If smb took me to B&N we're fuckung on the spot

“But you’re wrong. I’m going to be walking out of here with your cum all over me.”

Kit deserves it. With everything he’s done for me, including jeopardizing his relationship with my brother, he deserves it.

“You’re permanent.”

“I don’t want to be known as the ‘Big Cat’ anymore. I want to be known as yours.”

“Kit, did you annotate a book for me?” I ask.

THATS SO CUTE ID CRY OH M GOD

“I’d annotate an entire library for you if it meant that I got to see you smile.”

But I want to be with you, Faye. I don’t care about the distance or your brother.”

I don’t care how exhausted I am. I will always make time for you.”

You say you want to be with me, but you’ve made me cry more than anyone else has!”

STOP END IT ALL NO MORE PAIN

nothing in this world—and I mean nothing—is worth losing her. I’ve

“I love you, Faye,” I profess, robbing the breath from her lungs.

I’m going to abuse that greedy cunt of yours until I paint your walls with my cum.”

“You look so good with my spit all over you, but you’d look even better with my cum.”

“Please, Kit. Please fuck me. Use me, degrade me, punish me. I want to be able to feel you for days after. I want to remember this night when I’m touching myself in my own bed, imagining your fingers are the ones in my cunt, bringing me to the edge.”

IM SCREAMINGGGGG
