The Hardest Fall

by Ella Maise

“Are you scared?” “What? Scared of you?”

“Are you scared of kissing me?” A pause so I could press another lingering kiss on her neck. “Or are you scared I’ll kiss you?” Lifting my head, I met her big eyes. “I don’t give a fuck about the bet, I just need—”

I pulled her ass against my rapidly growing erection.

it took everything in me not to grind myself against her ass, or better yet, just take her against the wall.

“Fuck, Zoe. Don’t do that.”

“Call me—I don’t want you out on your own so late, definitely not walking.”

“I hope you’re ready to lose our bet today.”

Me: I have to tell Dylan. I’m going to tell him. I don’t care what you say.

“I’m sorry, babe,” he groaned, ignoring my presence. “I thought you were into it, swear to God. I didn’t hear you say no. Why didn’t you say no if you didn’t want it?”

Wtf!!!

“Don’t touch her you son of a bitch. Don’t touch her.”

“No, Keith! Stop. Let her go. Please!”

“I can’t do that. You’re scaring her. You need to leave.”

“Keith…you raped me. You raped me.”

“Shut up!” Keith hissed right next to her. “Shut up so I can think! Look what you made do. I came here to apologize and look what you made me do!”

“You, get out,” he ordered me. “I need to talk to Kayla alone. She is not going to leave me over a misunderstanding.”

Oh. Hell no!!!

“Tell her she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. You would never be scared of me.”

He needs to go to jail

“That’s why I don’t like you and that other one talking to her. You fuck with her head too much.” Pulling at Kayla, he broke the hold my friend had on me and started crowding me, pushing at my shoulders until I was once again backed up against the wall. He kept cursing at me, spit flying out of his mouth, his voice ugly and wrong and hurtful. “You did this. You’re taking her away from me. Get the hell out before I hurt you, Zoe.”

“Keith—Keith, look at me. You were right, I was wrong. You would never hurt me. You didn’t mean to hurt me in front of your friends. I understand that now. I’m sorry. Please, you need to get out of here. You hurt her. You’ll get in trouble. Please. Please leave.” In the blink of an eye, he was on her, hugging her, kissing her lips fervently. “There you are. There’s my baby. You freaked out because you liked it, didn’t you? I would never hurt you, baby. I just wanted us to have fun with my friends.

I’m your boyfriend, and you love me—that’s not rape.” Feeling sick to my stomach, I covered my mouth with my hand to keep everything in. “We need to get out of here together,” he rushed out. “I’m feeling so good right now. You have no idea babe—if you had listened to me and taken the drugs, you wouldn’t be shaking like a leaf right now. I feel on top of the world, baby! Next time it’ll be just the two of us, don’t worry.” Pressing a kiss to her forehead, he pushed Kayla away and crouched down to pick up her bag from the floor.

“Who the fuck are you?” the guy roared, coming at us, but I ignored him and pushed Zoe’s hair away from her face. “Are you okay? Baby, talk to me—you okay?”

“He raped her, Dylan,” she whispered, bringing her attention back to me. “We need to do something. He raped her.”

“You scared the shit out of me, Zoe,” I rasped out before gently kissing her cheeks as hot water rained down on us. “Don’t you ever do that to me again. Don’t you ever put yourself in danger like that.”

“I’m already having a hard time as it is, Flash. If you keep moving your finger like that and talking in that husky voice, I’m not gonna be able to… Just let me hold you like this and go to sleep.”

“I have this…thing for you,”

“I have a thing for you, too, Flash.”

😩😩😩

“Now…now I couldn’t possibly not recognize you. Now you’re everywhere, always on my mind. I close my eyes and I can see you, right there.”

“I don’t care what you call it. I like it. I like having your eyes on me. I love it even more when you look into my eyes and give me your biggest smile. Every time I see you smiling at me like that, like after the game in Tucson, it feels like you’re handing me your world. Even in the dark, I can feel your—”

“Shit,” I groaned, reaching for her hips. “Maybe that’s not a good idea, Flash.”

lip. “Funny, to me that felt like the most amazing idea in the world.”

“My heart beats differently for you. It feels different somehow. I know this probably doesn’t make sense, but…it beats louder, wilder when I see you.”

“Yeah? You’re gonna make me come in my pants,” I groaned, feeling drunk on her. “I don’t remember the last time I did that.”

“I know, Flash. I know. Tell me what you need so I can make you come.”

“I want to come when you’re inside me, Dylan, and I think I might actually die if you’re not in me within the next minute or so. No, I’m not being dramatic at all, so come on—lose the pants, get naked.”

“I don’t think you can do what I want you to do with those pants on, Dylan,”

“Now that you took it out, what are you planning on doing?”

“Fucked. Are you too shy to say fuck?” “Just in case you and I had sex.” “Fuck sounds better to me.” “Fine, fuck then.”

“I’m going to take everything from you,” I whispered against her skin. It was only fair to let her know.

“You already have me, baby.”

“You’re driving me crazy,”

“Zoe,” I hissed out. “Zoe, you feel so fucking good around my cock, squeezing me like that. Look at you, all ready to let go and come all over me.”

“Look at me,” I moaned with urgency. “Zoe, look at me.”

“Fuck. I think you broke me,” I muttered into the pillow. “Let’s do that again.”

“Don’t hide yourself from me,” I said quietly. “Please.”

“Zoe, that was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“It feels like I’ve been waiting for this to happen all my life, waiting for you to happen.”

“I think it’s our normal. Was it too much?” I frowned down at her. “Did I hurt you or something? Your neck?”

“By the way, you kissed me. You lost the bet you were so sure you would never lose.”

just thinking about his cock made me go all hot inside.

“Collecting memories, heartbeats,”

His fingers moved over my bruises, his eyes following along, and I swallowed. “It kills me that these are here.”
