Bringing the panties to my nose, I closed my eyes. Inhaled.

Her scent—sweet and primal, tinged with the unmistakable evidence of her pleasure—flooded my senses. My head swam. The room tilted.

When my eyes eased open, they froze on her still form, fast asleep. Her hair spread across the pillow, her arms above her head, the soft rise and fall of her chest.

For a moment, I forgot why I hated her.

My chest rose and fell with deep, ragged breaths as my hand, still holding her panties, slipped inside my boxers.

Wrapping the soft material around my cock, I stroked her panties over my length. Ariella's legs shifted, but this time, I didn't freeze; I continued to stroke myself. The thin sheet over her twisted in her feet and shifted down.

I released a low groan deep in my throat as her perfect tits slid out from under the sheet as it continued to move down her tight, toned stomach stopping above her pussy. One of her legs kicked out.

Using my free hand, I slipped my boxers down, releasing my cock. Giving myself more room to find the release I desperately craved. I took the panties from around my cock and brought them back to my nose, inhaling deeply as I pumped harder, faster. My eyes traveled from her full pink lips to the delicate curve of her throat, over her perky tits, down to her stomach. My mouth watered with the fantasy of tasting every inch of her, and my grip tightened, imagining the feel of her.

Wet sounds filled the room as I thrust my hips forward, chasing the orgasm that was so fucking close. I pictured her legs wrapped around me while I unforgivingly pounded into her, punishing her for everything she'd done to me, to Kacie, to my family.

Her nipples pulled tight, and I licked my lips, desperate to taste them.

My balls tightened, and my abs clenched as my breathing turned frantic. Quickly bringing the panties back to my cock, I bit down on my bottom lip as I exhaled a silent breath and came into her panties.

Fuck that was hot.

New kink unlocked.

My chest heaved with exertion. Stars burst behind my eyelids as I came down from a high I'd never experienced before. My mind was filled with dangerous possibilities, like what it would be like to have her. Not just like this, in secret and shadow, but beneath me. Against me. Around me.

I shoved myself back into my boxers, pulse still hammering in my throat. I dropped her panties to the exact spot where I'd found them. Tomorrow, she'd pick them up covered in my cum, never realizing what happened. Never knowing I'd been there, watching her sleep, violating her private space.

The pink vibrator felt warm in my palm as I snatched it from the floor—a trophy.

The door hinges threatened to squeak as I eased it open. I paused, counting the seconds between her soft exhales.

Satisfied she wouldn't wake, I slipped into the hallway. The door closed behind me with a barely audible click.

In the darkness of the corridor, I smiled.

CHAPTER20

ARIELLA

Sitting on the field under the bright sunlight, I glanced into the empty stadium seats for the four-hundredth time since practice started. It was the first time all season that Zaiden wasn't sitting there. A huge part of me was relieved, believing maybe he'd finally moved on. Maybe my virginity was all he wanted, but the other part of me felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety, wondering what he was planning next.

Mila leaned in, her voice low. "We can meet at my place after practice. We'll go through pictures and see what we can find."

Journey's eyes lit up. "We should order food."

"Yeah." Mila patted her stomach with a grin. "I'm starving."

I nodded, feeling my own hunger gnaw at me. "Me too."

"That's a wrap," Coach shouted, and we all held our breath as our gazes shifted between each other before stopping on Coach. We all knew what would happen next, and none of us wanted our name to be the one called. "Tomorrow's practice is canceled, so I will see everyone Wednesday afternoon."

He paused as his gaze moved over us, lingering too long as he perused each of our bodies. My heart rate spiked when his gaze stopped on me, the sudden rush making me lightheaded. "Ari, I need to see you in my office." Everyone but me released their breath as they stood and scattered across the field.

But I was frozen.

"It's okay, Ari." Mila's eyebrows furrowed, and her voice lowered to a whisper. "Just don't go."
