Kindle Notes & Highlights
She has you wrapped around her little finger, and you don’t even realize it. Maybe it’s better if I just show you.” Ren pulls out his phone and starts typing something into the screen. Annoyed, I let go of the doorknob and walk back into our apartment.
What could it be ??
“Aspen didn’t show up to the trial herself, but evidence that she provided was used against your father,” he explains and presses a button on his phone. Aspen’s father’s voice comes from the speaker.
Ummmmm 👀
“She was wearing a wire at the fundraiser. Actually, not just that fundraiser. Every time she was out with her father, she wore one. I guess they thought no one would pay attention to her as much as her father, and unfortunately, they were right. She caught a lot of conversations on tape she shouldn’t have.”
Damn. Thats actually really smart if it was her wearing the wire. Lmaaooo. But also, I don’t think she did.
I expect to be angry, but before the anger can reach me, confusion and apprehension are center stage. In the past, I always thought the worst about Aspen. Every time, I blamed her for everything right away, never giving her the benefit of the doubt.
Mhmmm. This is true. Not him saying in the past like that wasn’t just a few days ago. 😂😂😂😂
Even if she wore a wire, her father probably made her do it. Also, this was a year ago, before we knew each other well. A lot of things have happened since then. So, before I let the anger and betrayal seep in, I need to get her side of the story. As long as she is honest with me, I will forgive her. I can see past this.
Woooowww. You know what we call this....GROWTH. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m proud. Lmaoo.
“Did you, at any point, wear a wire?” “A wire?” She gives me a puzzled look. “I have no idea what you are talking about. When would I have worn a wire, and why?”
I dont think she did tbh.
“Quinton, I promise you, I’ve never worn a wire in my life.” “Wrong answer,” I grit through my clenched teeth and get on the bed with her.
Oh God🙄. What’s the point of asking her and getting her side if you’re just gonna use the answer you want and not believe her ??.
“Quinton,” she pleads but goes quiet when I wrap my fingers around her throat. “Why couldn’t you just tell me the truth?” “I did,” she wheezes, and I tighten my grip.
And it’s not like recording can tell you who was wearing the wire..likeee come on now. 🙄 Men are so stupid.
Her hands wrap around my wrist, trying to pull me away, but I don’t budge. I need this, I need control. Need to make her submit.
Here he go again.. what happened to the growth ??
She is not wearing a bra, and I can see her rosy nipples through the thin white fabric. My dick stiffens almost immediately. “Let go of my wrist and pull down your pants,” I order.
OH BROTHERRRRR ...
“Now undo my pants,” I demand. I can feel her throat swallow on my palm, but she gets to work right away, undoing the button and pulling down the zipper. “Put your hands back on my arm and keep them there.”
Lordy🙄
Not too gently, I slide in and out of her cunt. With each thrust, I bury myself so deep, my balls slap against her ass, and her whole body moves up on the bed. It doesn’t take her long before she grows wet for me, and her body becomes pliant in my hold. That’s when I decide to add a little pressure to the side of her throat, on her carotid artery.
Oopp. Not the carotid artery🥴.
I take the pressure off her artery, watching as relief flashes over her face when blood flow returns to her brain. “Stop fighting me. You’re gonna lie there and let me fuck you however I want. And right now, I want to choke you while fucking you.”
Somones angry😬.. for no real reason.
“I thought you were going to kill me,” she admits, taking me by surprise. Yes, I’m mad at her, furious, actually. I want to hurt her, control her, make her feel helpless, but I don’t want to kill her. I don’t know if I could.
Hmm. Lets unpack that darling
Her eyes flutter closed, but her fingers are still wrapped around my arm. I watch her face carefully as I thrust into her with deep and hard strokes. Every time her face turns from red to pale blue, I release her, give her a few moments reprieve before I choke her again.
Breath play. Okaayyy
Her thighs suddenly start quivering, a soft moan slips from her lips, and then her cunt squeezes me tighter than my hand on her neck. Her back arches, and her head falls back into the pillow. Her pussy pulses around my cock as her orgasm washes over her, and my own comes barreling toward me.
Well shit.
I let go of her neck and lower my body onto hers, hooking my right arm under her shoulder while holding myself up with the left. I pound into her so hard I don’t know where my body ends or hers begins.
Whew. Damn🥴
come so hard, for a moment, I forget where I am. I forget who we are, our past, and our future. All that matters is her and me.
Aaww
For a moment, I just stare at her, using the post-sex haze over my brain to suppress reality, and I simply admire her beauty. Even with her face red, her hair a mess, and mascara smeared, she is so fucking beautiful. I could get lost in her. Maybe I already have. She is like a siren, and I’m a stupid sailor heading blindly to my death.
Just...get past this shit man and stop being a dick. Grow up.
“Are you still taking the pill I gave you?” I ask when I realize I just came inside of her without protection… again.
Yeah..clearly..yall want babies
“Yes, but I’m almost out, and I obviously didn’t take it for a few days. So, if you’re going to come and randomly fuck me, you might want to use a condom next time.” “There won’t be a next time.” I pull out of her, and we both wince at the loss.
Ummm👀👀
“I think you are enjoying this way too much. This was the last time.” I get off the bed and turn away from her. I don’t want to see her face when I say the next words. “I’m bored with you. Time to find someone else.”
Oh hell naaaahhh🤦🏾♀️
I tuck my now limp dick back into my pants as I exit the room. The door falls shut behind me, and an empty feeling spreads out in my chest. A deep ache forms inside that empty spot, begging to be filled with something I can’t have. She did this to me. She lied to my face.
🙄. Booooooo
I keep reminding myself of these things, forcing myself to head back to my room instead of turning back to hers. I need to stay away from her before she pulls me under completely.
🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Brittney’s face contours with anger. “What do you mean he doesn’t want anything to do with you? Like pardon my French, but what the fuck is wrong with that boy?”
My exact thoughts
Brittney places a hand on my shoulder, drawing me from my thoughts. “Men are finicky creatures, don’t let him bring you down. You’re beautiful and kind, and if he doesn’t see your worth, that’s on him. Don’t settle for someone like that.”
Preach !!!
I’m about to shove her off when I catch sight of Aspen limping down the hallway on her crutches. Her head is lowered, her eyes glued to the floor in front of her, but I know she saw me. I can tell by the way her jaw is set and her eyebrows are drawn together in anger.
Oh goodness. Lol🤦🏾♀️😂
“Of course, I watched it,” I lie, watching Aspen head toward us. “Why don’t we skip this class and go to my room? You can tell me more about your project.” Anja straightens up, and a satisfied smile spreads across her face. I can almost see Aspen roll her eyes.
Lmaaoo. Oh pleseee
Digging the knife in a little deeper, I drape my arm around Anja as Aspen passes us. She looks up just in time to see me pulling Anja into my side.
Petty.
Aspen’s eyes turn to fiery daggers, and for a moment, I think she is going to attack me with one of her crutches. “Yes, let’s go,” Anja chirps, planting her manicured fingers on my stomach.
Boo
Anja keeps yapping about a Halloween party, but I drown it out with thoughts of Aspen and wonder where she is going right now. As soon as we’re out of sight, I shove Anja away. “I’ll see you around,” I dismiss her unceremoniously.
Lmaaooo😂😂. Bro. You are a dick
“What? I thought we were going to your room?” “I changed my mind. Maybe another time.” “You’re a real prick, Quinton!” “I know.” I shrug. “It’s not my fault you haven’t figured it out yet.”
Wooow. Lmaoo
“Have you wondered why my parents weren’t at the founders’ ball? It’s because my mother killed my father… and I helped her.” A wicked smile spreads across her lips, and the murderous glint in her eyes tells me she is not lying. Anja killed her father. Maybe I underestimated her.
Oop. Umm alright. Did he deserve it ?
Trying to get my mind off that situation, I wrack my brain, trying to figure out why Aspen was walking through the hallway past the bio labs. She doesn’t have any classes on that level. So why was she there? Fuck. Not knowing is going to drive me insane.
🙄😂
Maybe it’s time to feed into my stalker tendencies a little more, and I know just how I’m going to do that.
Oh no
“Was the helicopter crash planned?” “I don’t know. I really don’t. Your father asked me to get her away from Corium. That’s all, I swear.” “So, you work for my father now?
Gasp....
Let me guess, you’re here to babysit me so I don’t make any stupid choices that my father might not approve of?” Ren shakes his head. “No, of course not. I’m not a spy, and I don’t work for your father. It’s not like that.”
Hmmmmm. Idk. I can’t trust you
“I don’t know if I can believe anything you say anymore.” “Fuck, Quinton.” He throws his hands up in frustration. “Tell me how to fix this. I can’t take this bullshit between us.”
Idk if you can..
“I don’t know how we can fix the trust, but if you really want to make it up to me, you could start with two things. One, I want to know how you got those recordings. Two, I want you to help me make Matteo’s life miserable. I’ve started already, but it’s time to kick things up a notch.”
Well that was easy
“Well, one is easy. Your father sent them to me.” “Of course, he did.” That was what I was thinking. “I’m not sure what you have planned for Matteo, but I can promise you, I’ll have your back there.
Mmmhhhhmmmmm
I hate being so vulnerable and helpless, and I’m fucking tired of feeling this way. As soon as I get this cast off, I’m done with this. I’m done letting them push me around. I’ll spend every waking hour in the gym if I have to, but I will get stronger.
Bout time
After seeing Quinton and Anja together, my hatred for him and this place explodes ten-fold. I try to blend into the background, but when everyone already hates you, and you now have an exposed weakness, it’s harder to go unnoticed.
Dont dim your light girl
Dropping the knife on the table next to me, I eagerly pull open the box and start taking out its content. Lucky for Amazon, the cameras inside are all undamaged. I inspect each one and connect them to my phone.
Lmaaoo. This is what he meant
I check the time. Aspen should still be at class for another hour, which gives me enough time to install these. If I can’t physically be with her, I can at least watch her.
Lmaaaooo. Fuck off you psycho 😂
As soon as I’m inside, her unique scent fills my senses, and for a moment, I think she is here. I flip on the light switch to find the room empty, and I hate how disappointment creeps its way into my core.
Smh. Handle your emotions bro. SMH. 😭
“What the hell! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” “Maybe.” I smirk. “Sit down before you kill yourself.” I push her down on her bed. She sits, still clutching her chest as I close the door to her room.
Lordy
“Now, you want to help me?” She scowls. An image of her struggling to get up earlier pops into my head, and a dagger of guilt embeds itself in my chest. An apology sits at the tip of my tongue, but I swallow it down. “What do you want?” Aspen questions when I spin back around.
Smdh. Duudeeee
Her eyes are guarded, just like the rest of her. It’s almost like she expects me to attack her any minute now. Though I understand why she acts like this, it bothers me.
Boo freking hoo
“Just came to check on you,” I lie. “Wanted to make sure you’re not withering away from jealousy.” Aspen rolls her eyes so hard her whole head moves with it. “I’ll survive.” “Are you admitting to it?” “Of being jealous? Of course, I am,”
This is true
“I’m jealous of a lot of things, but I won’t die from it.” Kicking off her one shoe, she lifts her legs onto the bed and turns away from me. “Close the door on your way out, please.” “Since you asked so nicely,” I grit out, annoyed by the way I feel as I listen to her defeated voice.
Either you’re with her or you're not. Make up your mind.
