“I need to go.” She throws on her clothes, hopping on one leg as she puts on her leggings. “I don’t want our parents catching us together. Justin will probably look for me soon, and I really don’t want him to see us like this.”
My mood immediately sours at the mention of her ex. I sit up and scowl at her while she finishes dressing. I told her I have no problem being her dirty little secret, but now that I finally got to feel her beneath me, I want more. The world needs to know she belongs to me.
I stand and prowl toward Madison as she rushes to the door. “He won’t be a problem anymore.”
She freezes and slowly turns to look at me over her shoulder. “What do you mean?”
I stop directly behind her, leaving no space between us as my chest presses against her back. My fingers skate down her sides, a smirk lifting the corners of my mouth as she bites her bottom lip. I grip her waist and lean forward until my lips are beside her ear.
“Exactly what I said. He won’t be a problem anymore,” I whisper.
She turns her head, her gaze turning quizzical and unsure. “What did you do?”
I nip her earlobe and soothe the sting with my pierced tongue. Madison mewls and shifts her weight on her legs, not realizing she’s leaning back into me.
“Ryder,” she breathes.
“I meant everything I said about you being mine, little sister. No one will ever come between us. No one can keep you from me.”
She swallows hard, her cheeks turning a light pink. Her lips part but clamp shut in the next breath. I drop my hands from her waist as she opens the door. Then she leaves.
I close my eyes for a moment, breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. The rush of adrenaline and dopamine fades like the ocean tides sucking away from the beach. It leaves me chasing after the feelings and coming up empty-handed as water slips through my fingers.
My glare shifts to the black box on the ground, where I’d been sitting while watching Madison sleep. Justin’s fingers are inside as a souvenir.
He isn’t out of the picture. Not yet, anyway. He will be soon enough, but until then, he needs a reminder to keep his mouth shut or deal with the consequences.
I cross the room and snatch my phone off the bed, then open the video I recorded of Madison. It plays as I type out a caption over a clip of her bouncing on my cock smeared with her pleasure.
Madison will be mad if she finds out about this, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.
I pull up Justin’s number, then send the video to him, followed by a text.
This your girl, bro?
“ANXIETY” DOECHII
Iwince with every step as I creep inside the house. Everything is so sore, especially between my legs. I knew sex with Ryder would hurt, but I didn’t realize just how painful it would be.
Opening the back door, I listen for any sounds that someone is already awake. When I checked the time in Ryder’s bedroom, I almost had a panic attack. It’s six in the morning and our parents should already be up and around. I don’t know how time passed as fast as it did.
Because you were busy getting fucked by your brother, the guilty voice in the back of my mind whispers.
My heart races and my stomach churns. I’m engaged, damn it. I haven’t been in a lot of relationships, but I’m not one to cheat, no matter how big of an asshole Justin is.
Unless it’s with Ryder.
My dad will kill me if he ever finds out about this.
My hand trembles as I slide the door shut behind me. I tiptoe through the living room, heading straight to the staircase so I can lock myself in my bedroom.
I freeze and squeeze my eyes shut. Crap. Justin will be in there, waiting for me like a viper in its den.
“Madison?” Carolyn says. “Where have you been?”
My eyes snap open, and I turn. My stepmother is already dressed for the day, wearing loose black dress pants and a cream-colored sweater. It’s so bland and boring compared to her son’s sense of style. A claw clip holds the bulk of her hair in place, though a few loose tendrils frame her face.
I avert my gaze and fumble with my phone. “I didn’t want to be anywhere near Justin.”
