A knock sounds at the door, reluctantly we break apart. I touch my swollen lips. “Come in.” Gunner’s voice is hoarse and filled with desire.

It’s Ms. Jones, Gunner’s secretary. “Dr. Jekyll is ready for your weekly meeting. May I tell him you’re on your way?”

He nods, and I seize the opportunity to get the hell out of dodge. “I’ll see you at family dinner?”

I scrunch my nose up at the word family, because stepsisters shouldn’t kiss their stepbrother.

He smirks at my question, clearly amused at my slip up. “Yeah,I’ll see you then. Take it easy on Kai, please. You know how sensitive he is when you get mad at him.”

I relax as a giggle bubbles up my throat. “I cross my heart. Sometimes, I wish you were more concerned when it comes to my anger.”

He shrugs. “It bothers me, but I know we’ll always work it out. We need to talk about what just happened.”

“No we don’t. See you on Sunday.”

“Pres—ley.” He shouts behind me, but I’m already gone.

I speed walk all the way to the front of the building. The security guard waves me through, and I step out into the creepy ass parking lot.

The carnival music plays its lullaby from the old gaming station near my car. I don’t know why they still use the lights and music every night, but I hate it.

A flash of red captures my attention, but when I look in that general direction I see nothing out of the ordinary.

Hitting the unlock button on my key fob, proves useless, because my car door was already unlocked. Which is strange, but my mind has been running in a million different directions lately, so I guess I forgot to lock it.

Laying in my seat, is a folded piece of fancy stationary. I look around, but there is no one else there. Who could have laid this here? One thing is for certain, I can’t tell my stepbrothers. They’d lose their shit and really never let me out of their sight.

I rake my fingers down the length of the paper, taking in the elegant script.

Dearest Presley Kate,

All summer long I’ve loved you from afar,now it’s time for us to meet. Soon, I’ll make you my Queen. Are you ready to rule?

Forever Yours,

TKOH

My heart gets stuck in my throat, because I remember locking my door. Who could this be? And is he as crazy as his friend Sierra Rose?

Did You Have To Put Him In The Hospital?

One thing I love about Pixie Hollow University is that it's one nonstop party the two weeks before the school year begins and that unwelcome pressure settles in.

AJ: Answer me bitchhhh!

I laughat my best friend's text. She knows all about Gunner feeling me up, and she's trying to make me feel better that he hasn't called or made mad passionate love to me yet.

Those were her words not mine, but it's true. Besides from him initially wanting to talk about our make out session, he hasn't brought it up again.

Sadly, I don't have the lady balls to bring it up myself, so I've been avoiding both of them at all costs.

AJ's talked me into going to the kickoff party of the season,which is the annual bonfire down at the beach. Maybe I can find somebody there that'll take my mind off of those blue eyed devils.

Me: Calm your tits! I'm coming!
