I HATE HER!!!! Think of me next time ur inside her.
U know u want me more
I stare. The words haunt me. He could have been thinking of her the last time we slept together. I don’t want to know.
But I do know this:
If Grayson won’t erase his past, I’ll do it for him.
I set the phone back on the nightstand. It’s quiet, as it should be.
Chapter 39
Charlotte
I bought a toy.
Ordered it online without even thinking twice. I just hope it can feel as good as when Grayson makes me climax.
So, before he gets home, I race to the shower and press the toy to my clit. The small pink thinghumsagainst me, suction teasing, tongue-like pulses curling my toes. I imagine Grayson’s voice. His hands. His mouth. His rage. I imagine his gentle touch, too, but it’s less special now that I know he didn’t like it. He probably didn’t like our first time, either.
Snap out of it!
I focus, and eventually, my knees go weak. They hinge as I lean on the shower wall, shuddering. My orgasm is sharp and fast, but not quite enough. It’ll do, though.
I step out of the shower and stare at my reflection. My curls are frizzy and wild. My boobs sag a little more than I want to admit. My skin’s washed out without makeup. Not the kind of woman men ruin their lives for.
No wonder he hasn’t touched me.
Maybe he’s over me. Maybe the truck was the start of a goodbye on his terms, and I didn’t catch the hint.
I shake the thought off. I don’t have time to spiral. I have a graduation to get to. A tiny one, just for EMT training, but it matters to me. I passed all my practicals. I’m officially allowed to ride in ambulances now as a real EMT. I get to save lives. Well… assist in saving lives! I hope.
And Grayson promised to be there. So I wait on the couch, dressed in my best pants and a top that hugs my chest. Low cut just for him.
But no truck pulls up.
I check the time. Then again. I text him.
You on your way?
A pause.
Grayson

My stomachsinks.

Grayson

I stare at my phone like it just slapped me.
