Page 54 of Reconciling With the Rival

But seeing her like this? Overwhelmed with pleasure because of me? Nothing will ever beat that.Nothing.

“Let go, Ella. Stop fighting it and fucking come on my cock,” I tell her, and as her eyes roll to the back of her head, I feel her pussy spasm around me as she coats my dick.

A few seconds later, I follow her, unable to hold back my release any longer. It feels so fucking good, and it’s so much stronger than it has been in months.

Fuck my dry spell.Thisis what pleasure feels like, and fuck, I’ve missed it.

I roll off her, and we lay beside one another in stunned silence for way too long. When I finally turn to talk to her, I notice she’s fast asleep.

I’m jolted back to the last time we did this in college—the same thing happened. I wonder if she’s always like this after sex, or if it only happens when she has sex with me.

After I get my bearings, I grab a washcloth and clean her up. I don't bother showering because I’m too fucking exhausted from the emotional whiplash of today. I’ve gone from pissed off to feeling like I’m on top of the world.

All because of her.

And just like last time, I fall asleep with her in bed next to me.

Maybe this time, she won’t be gone when I wake up, but knowing Ella and how our relationship works, when we wake up tomorrow, it’ll be back to normal.

Just how it’s supposed to be.

A Date With My Dildo

College

“Alissa, I swear toall that is holy, if you leave me here with your brother of all people, one of us might end up dead.”And it’s probably going to be him.

“Look, Ells, all I need is the car. Leo can drive you home since he’s not drinking tonight.” Alissa is pleading with me to get the car since there’s a guy she wants to go home with at the Hidden Bear. I’m not about to let her get into this guy’s car, so the only option is for her to take the car we drove over in. Who knows what kind of people come to this place? Even though it is acollege bar, men are fucking weird and creepy. Any one of these people could be a serial killer.

And according to Paige, you never know if someone walking by you could have killed someone. Apparently, one in seven people you pass in your life could have potentially killed someone and gotten away with it.

“If I give you the car, I’ll take an Uber home. Leo can drive home by himself or with whatever girl he picks up tonight.” I’m not about to third wheel on the way home if Leo takes me. I’m sure some girl is going to suck his face or dick while driving, and that’s not a show I want to be privy to.

“Thank you, Ells!” Alissa hugs me, and I hand her the keys. “I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, and maybe you’ll have your own story for me…” She trails off as she looks over my shoulder. When I turn to see what she’s looking at, averycute girl looks me up and down before winking at me.

Damn, maybe tonight isn't a total loss.

I lean against the bar and order another drink. If I’m stuck in the same vicinity as Leo Zimmerman, I’m going to need it to drown out his stare against my body—not in a sexual way, but a pissed off one. I’m sure Leo isn't happy being left here with me either.

Alissa and I came out and, of course, her stupid brother had to tag along. As if I don't see him enough already at our internship twice a week. I hate how he’s always hanging around with us, but part of me understands it.

My sister and I are as close as Alissa and Leo are. If she was a bit closer to my age, I’d probably spend as much time with her as those two do with one another.

It only annoys me because Leo is a pain in my ass at our internship and a pain in my ass whenever he’s around.

I grab my drink from the bar and head back to my table, seeing Leo sit there with some blonde on his arm. I can’t tell whatthey’re talking about, but when I slide into the booth across from them, she takes one look at me and leaves.

That was easy.

“Seriously?”

“What?” I ask him, a smile on my face.

He shakes his head at me. “Nothing.”

“Oh, come on. I know you’ve got something better in that tiny brain of yours. We don’t have to be civil now that your sister is gone.”
