The Ritual (L.O.R.D.S., #1)

by Shantel Tessier

Matt’s never been a big fan of Sarah’s. He says that she’s too flirtatious with everyone. He’s been very vocal about his hatred for her over the years.

Matt is giving insecure vibes

Pretty sure my mom got knocked up that first night on purpose—trap the wealthy man type of situation.

Queen

“No,” Sarah snaps, yanking my arm, and pulls me forward. More alcohol rolls over the rim of my cup and onto my clothes. “This is his fucking girlfriend.” She frowns and looks up at him. “Huh? Baby, what’s she …” Hiccup. “Talking about?” “Nothing,” Matt tells her. Sarah laughs, but it holds no humor.

Not surprised one bit

Leaning forward, he licks up the side of my face, making me taste vomit.

Ew wtf Matt

“I need the jet,” I answer, biting on my bottom lip. This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve used it. “Uh … where are you going?” he asks, sounding concerned. “Everything okay?” “Yeah. Yeah. Sarah and I are just getting away. You know, to have a girls’ trip.” I lie easily. “What about classes?” he asks. Fuck! “It’s just a couple of days. We’ve already arranged it with our professors.” “Okay.” He clears his throat. “Are you sure everything is all right?” “Yep,” I reply. “I can have it to you by tomorrow night.” That won’t work. “Can it be tonight?” He stays silent. “It’s just that we’re already packed, and I’d like to be on the beach first thing in the morning …” “Sure, honey. I’ll have it fueled and sent your way.”

Ugh, I wish 😒

I pull out pink rubber vibrator—Lovense Lush 2.

The product placement ☠️😂

“You’re needed, man,” Gunner informs him then looks at me. Winking, he gives me a thumbs-up. “Hot wife.”

😂😂😂😂
