He grabs me and slams me against his car door. His face is inches away from mine as he whispers, “Let me get one thing straight, Lexi. Use that fucking tone with me again, and there will be consequences. Now get inside your fucking dorm. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I stay quiet as I walk past him and then my ass stings as I hear a smack echo in the parking lot. I whip around, not quite understanding what just happened, but I see his red palm and gasp. He just fucking spanked me.
I push his chest and then try to slap him across the face, but he grabs my hand. And then I try again with my other hand, but he catches that one too. “Don’t fucking do that again!”
He slams me against his car again, not hesitating this time as he leans down for my lips. I push my face away and say, “Don’t!”
He releases my fighting hands but holds me in place. All I smell and see is him. I start punching, and he lifts me up on the hood of his car and presses himself against me.
“Don’t tempt me, Lexi,” he growls.
I don’t want to fall, so I wrap my arms around him to hold myself still.
“I’ll fuck you right here on the hood of my car.”
“No!”
He growls, biting down on my hoodie, eventually his teeth dig into my right boob. He bites my cleavage so fucking hard. I pull at his hair as I cry out.
“Koa! Koa!” I screech, trying to pull him off. “Ow!”
He stands, and I’m left panting, holding my tit.
“Ow! You fucking asshole!” I want to curl into a ball. The pain is radiating.
“You’ll think twice before you––”
“Lex?” a familiar feminine voice calls out. I look beyond Koa’s shoulder and finally relax. I’ve been saved. Thank fuck.
Thea runs over and Koa removes himself from above me. She puts herself between me and him and shouts, “Stay the fuck away from her!”
“Thea,” I say breathless as I remove myself from the hood of his car. I do an awkward crawl and push myself up. My boob is so sore. I grab her face and force her to look at me. “Let’s get out of here. Come on.” I don’t dare to glance at him again. He’s a fucking psychopath.
She eyes him as we walk off and asks, “Did he hurt you?”
I shake my head. “You don’t need to worry.”
She grabs my arm and forces me to walk with her. “You should just let Axel deal with his drug dealer, Lex.” She looks over her shoulder at Koa. “You shouldn’t have to sacrifice yourself for your brother’s fucking problems.”
I shake my head. “It’s not what you think.”
She leans into me. “I was so worried when he took off from the alley. I’m just happy you’re back in one piece. I can finally go to sleep.”
I apologize to her, and she says, “This was the most unforgettable first day of college.”
I nod, agreeing. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
When I get upstairs to my dorm, I look out my window and wonder what the hell I’ve gotten myself into. My boob aches. It’s definitely going to bruise. As long as my brother’s off the hook, I’m okay though. I will do anything to protect my brother.
I start typing a text to him.
Lexi:You need to a fresh slate, Ax. I hope you can get your head straight. No more drugs, okay. Promise me you won’t turn out like them. I love you. You’re all that I have. I hope you had a good first day. Let’s meet up soon. I came here to hang out with you.
I take a shower and look down at my right boob. Holy hell, his teeth marks left a bruise. I inhale, poking at it. It’s sore as hell. And then I look in the mirror and notice my feral eyes. When I get into bed, every creek I hear from the hallway makes me feel unsettled. My roommate is asleep on her side of the room. I check my phone, but my asshole brother is still ignoring me.
I huff and stare at the ceiling.
