Without waiting around to be questioned by the principal, she quickly darted across the hall and turned the corner, heading toward her next class. There was no way she could tell on Logan or the others. They were the stars of the school, and if she did, it would make her public enemy number one. All she hoped to do was get through high school and leave town. It was all she really wanted.

Present day
“I can’t believe this,” Ava said.
The movie was on pause, and she saw how naked she was. Hunter and Logan were able to see. There was no way for them to stop looking. There she stood, in all of her naked glory.
This can’t be happening.
Only, it was.
Logan would release the footage of her parents. She’d had no idea they were into orgies or any of what she’d caught a glimpse of. With regards to Grant, she’d met him in a bar a few years ago and they got close. He’d asked her out on a date, and she’d taken it. They’d dated for a couple of months before they actually had sex. When he’d taken her to a motel room, she hadn’t thought much about it, seeing as he said he moved around. She’d used Grant in an effort to move on, to find a way out of the pain that was her everyday life.
All this time, he’d been working for Logan, and only doing as he’d been told. There hadn’t been any feelings for her.
“I hate you.” The words spilled from her lips with ease. She did hate him, just not as much as she hated him.
Glaring at Logan, she wanted nothing to do with him. There was no way she could make this choice. Not fair in any way. Her parents didn’t deserve to have their memory crushed because he wanted revenge. What was the deal with him calling sexual assault? That wasn’t her, and now she was more confused than ever before.
It doesn’t matter.
Logan chuckled. “I’m not going to need you to like me in order to fuck me.” He stepped toward her, and she took one back. With each one he took, she kept on moving away until his desk was in the way, and she was trapped. He put his hands flat on top of his desk. She felt the hard ridge of his cock pressing against her stomach. This wasn’t the first time she’d been in this predicament, not with Logan. There were a few times, so many years ago, almost a lifetime ago, when it was different. When he’d trapped her in a school classroom and wouldn’t let her go, not until he had one taste.
She pushed those memories aside and instead focused on trying to get out of this.
“I’m not going to sleep with you.”
“You want everyone to know what you get up to in your spare time? How you look when you come? You want the entire town, if not the world, to see.”
“You can’t do that,” she said.
“Oh, believe me, I can. I wonder what people will think when they see miss squeaky clean all dirty and more than happy to have a cock inside her pussy. It won’t be as easy to convince people of your innocence.”
“What do you want?” she asked.
“For you to beg.”
“Let me go. Be the bigger man and forget all about this.”
He laughed. “Do you really think I came back to this piece of shit town for the views? No. I came all this way for you. To right a wrong you committed. Everything that happens from here on out is all because of you. Now, either submit to me, or pay the price. Either way, you’re not getting out of this squeaky clean.”
She glanced over his shoulder, staring at the television. It taunted her.
“I thought he cared.”
“Oh, he did. For the big paycheck heading his way when I got what I wanted. He’s got no problem starring in your little porn show.” Logan lifted his hand close to her face, and she couldn’t help but flinch as he touched her.
He tutted. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, I have no intention of hurting you. At least, not where anyone else can see. You won’t get any black eyes from me. I’ll make sure of it. Your time is running out. I will pick for you if you take too long.”
She hated this.
Why had it come down to this?
Why didn’t you leave town when you had the chance?
So many questions whirling around her head, but none of them could be given an answer. Not until she dealt with this little problem. She hated feeling like this. Trapped. Unable to move. But it wouldn’t have mattered if she left town. Logan was clearly determined to find her.
The evidence of Logan’s excitement pressed against her, and what was more, she wasn’t offended by it. What the hell was wrong with her?
