Red Thorns (Thorns Duet 1)

Or ever.

Though I’m tempted to.

Really, really tempted and curious and confused.

But I didn’t reply to his texts. I just couldn’t.

So here’s the thing, I’ve always noticed Sebastian, but he’s shattered the image I had of him in my head. I thought he was like the rest of the football players but with some sort of baggage hidden behind his exotic eyes.

Turns out, the baggage is a perversion.

A sexual deviation.

Otherwise, why the hell would he get off on chasing me and coming all over my face afterward?

But instead of being disappointed in him and erasing him from my thinking, I’ve all but magnified him.

For reasons unknown, I’m interested in those parts of him.

In what made him the way he is.

In how he manages to hide it so well.

But most of all, I want to know why I reacted to it the way I did. Because when he took control of my mouth and smeared me with his cum? I burned to touch myself and relieve the ache that throbbed between my legs.

Something brushes against my arm and I jump, then release a breath when Lucy appears by my side. I remove my headphones, letting them hang around my neck. “Oh, it’s you.”

She studies her surroundings and the random students passing by. “Who did you think it would be?”

“No one.”

“I don’t think so. You’re not usually jumpy.”

“I stayed up late.” Which isn’t a lie. “So, traitor, where were you the entire weekend?”

“I told you Reina was having a sleepover at her apartment. Then I went with Mom and Dad to visit Grandma.”

I roll my eyes. “Did Reina make you drink enchanted potions of black magic made of her pubic hair?”

“Ew, no.” Lucy laughs. “It was cool. We talked boys and the squad.”

“Wow. I’m glad I missed the fun.”

“What did you do over the weekend? Besides worshipping serial killers?”

“Haha. Very funny. And that’s exactly what I did.”

She observes me closely as if it’s been ages since she last saw me. “Nothing else?”

“Nope.”

I wish I had the courage to tell her about Sebastian and the dubious things that happened in the forest.

Though we did talk on the phone about the kiss on TV. I called Sebastian a thousand names and cursed him to the darkest pits of hell. Poor Luce had to calm me down and bribe me by giving me her notes for the upcoming exam.

If I tell her that I met the asshole, sucked him off, and let him ejaculate all over my face, she might call me crazy.

Or perverted.
