All I want to do is get out of here so I can do more digging on Thea. I might be blackmailing her, but I still want to claim those pink lips. We were about to kiss, having a real taste of her was in my grasp. Then Coleman showed the fuck up and ruined it. She flipped a switch so fast, it’s got alarm bells going off in my head.

I’ll hunt down every secret she’s ever hidden so I don’t have any more surprises with her. Then I’ll fucking devour her.

Devlin is in full Devil Boy mode with his own demons, enjoying the show. Damn sadist. He dribbles a soccer ball, flicking it from his toe to bounce off his knees.

“The hell did we even do?” Sean mutters to Trent as he helps him to the bench for their water bottles.

“Beats me,” Trent answers, glaring at me as they pass.

I shake my head, not in the mood for my favorite pastime or my so-called friends. “Can’t keep up? Quit popping your dad’s oxy pills, then maybe you’ll have some stamina. The pros go harder than this.”

Trent lunges at me with a growl. Sean holds him back with a worried look, like he’s afraid of what I’ll spill about him. I grant them both a vicious grin. They back off, exchanging wary glances.

“Fucking psycho,” Sean says in an undertone.

He better watch it, or I will spill his dirty deeds. Porn addiction, that one. Nasty shit, too.

“Another lap, captain?” Devlin asks as he cycles the ball from his toe, to knee, to chest, and over again with perfect control. Showoff. “If these guys can gossip on the field, they haven’t had enough.”

“Nah. Get the fuck out of my face, all of you.” Flapping my hand in dismissal, I head for the showers. I don’t care. “Game against Ridgeview East Valley coming up. Coach can deal with you.”

Devlin follows, lacing his fingers and putting his hands behind his head. “You good?”

“Yeah. Just an intense day.”

He pops my shoulder with the back of his hand. “You need anything?”

“I’m good. I just need to cool off. Unwind.” I’m going to shower, go home, and pack a bowl. That’ll do the trick to kill the edge close to choking me. “It’s chill, bro.”

“All right, cool. I’ll catch you later.” Peeling off from the path to the locker room, Devlin heads for the parking lot without showering.

I head into the locker room and rush through a shower. There’s something else on my agenda when I get home.

Thea is what she seems at first glance. Sweet, kind, and all about a positive outlook. But that’s bullshit.

Only forest creatures in cartoon movies are that pure-hearted.

She’s a liar like everyone else, but despite the lies she gets my dick hard. I want her.

“I’ll find you,” I murmur as I poke through her search history thanks to the backdoor I left on her WiFi network. “Every secret. It’s all mine, little mouse.”

The clack of the keys are as soothing and relaxing as the bowl I smoked when I got home. I tore through two bags of Doritos and rode the high until the buzz wore off. Now I’m hunting for anything that will give me more insight into who I’m dealing with.

As I dig through her social media accounts, I find something new. One that wasn’t in the recent browser history when I looked before. It’s a blog site.

Once it loads, my stomach tightens.

“The fuck?” I mutter, bombarded by post after post of pictures.

She’s younger, her face a little rounder. The newest post has a date stamp of almost two years ago. I’m guessing she’s around fifteen or sixteen in these, but the blog archive goes back three years before that.

“For a girl who goes unnoticed, you sure did want to be seen.”

By a rough count, there are hundreds of posts. Maybe thousands. When it was active, it looks like she was posting at least three times a week.

There’s nothing too wild, but my brows jump up when I see a few that are questionable. Even though we’re the same age, I feel skeevy looking at these. Sickos on the internet would have a field day with the gold mine she’s offering up. It’s not even password protected and private. Public fucking everything for all of her accounts.

My first thought is to lock this, but she could notice if she still accesses the site. It was in her search history, so she looked at it recently.
