“He thinks we should finally find out what happened the night we each lost a parent. Do you think that’s true?” I look up at him and he looks worried, but nods.
“I think once you turn eighteen, a lot will be revealed, Patience.” I freeze at that, but I know it’s true. My grandfather has been hinting at things since I turned sixteen. He starts to grip my hair into a ponytail and twists it around his palm. We don’t have time for anything right now. I have to get to class and he has to teach.
“Is this my payback?” I ask with a laugh and he pulls my hair tighter.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I snort and he releases me. He knows what he’s doing to me.
“I’m going to have to change my panties before my appointment later. I’ll still see you on Saturday, right?” I climb to my feet and lean over his chair to give him a kiss. He takes it one step further and pulls me onto his lap, grinding me down on his hard cock. I moan and he chuckles against my lips, then runs his hand under my undies and scoops up my cream, rubbing it along my clit with a groan.
“This is your punishment,” he growls, tugging on my clit piercing, making me squeal, then lets me go and helps me to my feet. I fix my skirt and toss my hair up into a messy bun. “I’ll see you on Saturday,” he tells me with another kiss, then walks to the door, fixing his dick in his dark blue slacks. I give his cock a little pat as I pass, and try not to gasp as he grabs my asscheek from under my skirt, digging his nails in. Bending low to my ear he growls, “Are you sure you want to play this game?” I bite my lip and shake my head, then lower my gaze to the floor, the way he likes.
He releases me and I leave. I pass a few of his students, but they don’t give me a second glance. I reach bio right as the professor is shutting the door. I apologize and he gives me a glare, then waves me to the back row. I plop into a chair and try to catch my breath. A chuckle next to me has me glancing to the left.
Fuck, out of all the seats for me to sit in, it had to be beside him.
Cal
Patience sits next to me and I automatically know she was just getting laid. Her cheeks are flushed and her hair is a mess. Plus, the way I can smell her is making my dick hard. I laugh and she glances my way. She frowns and I lean closer to her so Mr. Zavis can’t hear. “You smell like a whore,” I grunt and she freezes, then scowls. I sit back and listen to the lesson, disregarding how my ignoring her is making her madder and madder.
We have five minutes left of class and she finally replies to me. “At least I’m getting laid.” I shake my head at such a lame comeback and laugh. Little does she know I’m getting fucked plenty, in ways she could only fantasize about. I pack up my bag and stand, getting ready to leave. Patience stands too, but doesn’t move. I glare her way and she sighs, reaching a hand out as if to touch me.
“Nate came to see me at work. He doesn’t hate me, so why do you? We both know what happened that night wasn’t my fault.” She shakes her head and looks down at her shoes. I can hear the emotion in her voice, but I know I need to end this right now. She can never know how hating her is the farthest thing from the truth. But it’s the only way.
“Your family ruined everything, and soon Nate will see that too,” I tell her, as I shove her out of the way then leave the room. I grab my phone from my pocket and call Rooke.
“What’s up?”he grunts, when he answers. I check to make sure Patience isn’t following me.
“Let’s hit the gym. I really need to pound something right now.” He laughs as he agrees and I hang up. Making my way to my car, I ignore the way Kian is staring me down like he wants to beat my ass. Probably heard that I was a prick to his sister. I swear those two are way too close at times.
When I get to the gym, Rooke is already there waiting, wrapping his knuckles. There are a few people around, so I give him a fist bump, then bring my things to the locker room. I need to work off all these thoughts that are consuming me. Memories of the days I would play with Nate and Patience. The family meals and lake trips we would take. We spent countless hours together, and when it all just went away… yeah, I did blame her family.
Her dad is the reason my mom is dead. The reason my life went to hell in the blink of an eye. The reason I can’t tell the girl that I have always loved that I love her. Not that she would ever feel the same way. Maybe before I became a royal asshole to her. But what’s done is done, and it’s for the best. Now I just need to get Nate on the same page.
“Are you ready?” Rooke asks, pulling me from my thoughts and handing me the wrap. I quickly get ready and then follow him to the mat. A few guys from his football team come over to chat, but I’m not in the mood. Rooke tells them he will hit them back later, and the way one of the guys looks at him pisses me off. I know we aren’t exclusive, but I hope he knows that I wish we could be, even if I can’t say it to him.
* * *
I shuffle into my room,ignoring the throb of my ribs. I should have never let Rooke get that shot in, but my mind was on someone else. I toss my gym bag on the chair and move over to the bathroom. A shadow catches my eye from Patience’s backyard and I freeze as I realize what I’m seeing.
A guy has her wrapped around him like a koala and is kissing her neck, in the pool. My fists clench at the thought of someone else touching her, but I know this is how things have to be. I lean against the wall and watch as he rips off her tight bikini top and her breasts bounce free. I recognize the guy from the football team with Rooke.
Brad licks and nips at her perfect nipples and her mouth opens with a moan. I know I should stop looking, but if she’s going to fuck some loser outside, then she should know there is a high chance someone could be watching.
She grips his hair tight and brings his mouth back to her neck, but when he tries to move to her lips, she avoids his kiss. Hmm, interesting. I don’t think I have seen her kiss anyone ever. I wonder why that is. He walks them over to the edge of the pool and sits her down on the tile. Wiggling, she tugs down her bikini bottoms, and licks the tips of her fingers, trailing them down her naked body to her pussy.
My dick is rock-hard, and I reach down into my shorts, giving it a squeeze to take some of the pressure off my balls. Brad steps between her legs, and I have the perfect view to watch her body arch and thrash as his mouth licks down her stomach to her clit. I carefully open my window so I can hear the live porn coming from the neighbor’s pool, and when she moans, I say fuck it. I drop my shorts to the floor and release my aching cock.
I wish he would move a little to the left so I could see better, his dark hair and shoulders are blocking me from seeing that tight pussy. After a few minutes of her gasps and moans, she grips his hair and holds him to her core. With her other hand, she grips her breast and pinches her nipple. It must set her off because she screams his name and rips him off of her.
He gives her a smile and wipes his mouth as he pulls his swim trunks down. She lies on the concrete panting as he pulls her back into the water. She squeals and reaches behind her where she has a towel and a condom? Was this planned? She hands it to him, waits until he’s protected, then wraps herself around him, sinking down onto his cock.
He groans and slams her back along the pool wall, fucking her hard and fast. I jack myself faster, imagining I’m the one to fill her over and over, and come all over my hand within minutes. I grab a random shirt from the floor and clean up, then glance back at the pool. Patience is moaning, but she looks completely bored. Brad comes with a loud groan, and I watch as Patience’s shoulders drop, as if in relief.
She looks off into space, and I don’t know what is going through her head right now, but it’s clear there’s a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to Patience James.
Chapter Thirteen
When I finish my last class of the day, I grab my phone. I am dreading this call, but it’s unavoidable. He picks up on the second ring.
