And he casually throws it up and down in the palm of his hand as he waltzes off, slamming my door shut behind him.

Well fuck.

CHAPTER 24

Ivy

I waketo a salty taste in my mouth.

Frowning, I lean up and blink a couple of times.

Why am I on my couch? Did I fall asleep here after Max left?

I yawn and still taste the salt, so I rub my face … only to find something sticky.

What the…

I bring my fingers to my nose and smell.

Wow.

That’s definitely cum. No mistaking it.

Did Max come back into my house?

I stand and look around. The key is missing from my kitchen counter, even though I’m sure he placed it there before he left. I shiver.

Maybe he came back to steal it again and then got overwhelmed with more desire?

I check out the rest of my body. There are splotches of cum left everywhere on my skin.

Damn, I didn’t know he could come three times in a row. And while I was asleep too.

I pull out my phone and message him.

Me: Did you come back into my house and come again?

It takes him a while to respond, and he keeps deleting messages over and over.

Max: No…

That sounds like a lie to cover up the fact that he was hungry for more. I grin at the thought.

Me: No need to lie. I know the key is missing.

He keeps typing and deleting his sentences, backing up on whatever he was about to say.

Then he stops replying entirely.

Guess he’s too embarrassed to admit it.

I shrug it off and swiftly jump under the shower to clean up before I wake Cora to get dressed too. I give her breakfast and prepare her bag, then drop her off at Mrs. Schwartz, and bike back to Spine Ridge University. Every day, my muscles are getting leaner and leaner just from all this damn biking I’m doing, but I’m not going to give up just because it hurts a little.

Going to this college was a dream come true. A dream they’d have to tear from my cold, dead hands if anyone ever wanted me to quit.

Even as a little kid, I was always boasting to my mom and dad about how I was going to go to this school and build my own company from the ground up and become rich. They cheered me on, and I worked so damn hard to achieve this goal.

No amount of blackmail, bullying, or boys with questionable sexual needs, is going to keep me away from here.
