A flash of blonde hair draws my attention, and to my surprise, I see Alani walking out of her dorm with a wide grin on her face.

She looks different, better even without the makeup she had piled on her pretty face last night at the party, despite how much I liked the sight of it trailing down her cheeks after I fucked her last night.

I climb out of my truck, ready to snatch her right off campus, but the guy from last night, the very same one who plied her with alcohol, approaches her. She’s smiling, and from the outside looking in, her life is perfect. No one watching her would guess that she’s the type of girl to come while getting railed in a filthy fucking motel room, by a man who didn’t even have to ask nicely to get her to strip down to her skin.

I shouldn’t feel any sort of way watching her walk away with him. She’s a whore after all. But not getting paid because she isn’t smart enough not to get abducted after a very clear warning was sent to her won’t happen. Not on my watch at least.

I follow as closely behind her as I can manage without drawing too much attention, but I feel eyes on me with every step I take.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone calls the cops. The girl who was abducted from here six months ago is back in the news after having been rescued by Cerberus. I overheard people talking about it last night at the party. Where most women are once again cautious about their safety, Alani seems more than willing to live on the edge. It will end up getting her killed, but it shouldn’t matter to me.

The dick who was trying to get in her pants last night catches sight of me first. But instead of turning away and disappearing into the crowd that was gathering near the fountain in the center of campus, I lock eyes with him. He has to know what happened between the two of us when she left the party with me. Hell, I can tell by the way she’s walking this morning that I went hard on her last night.

My cock threatens to lengthen in my jeans at just the memories, but she notices that she no longer has her friend’s undivided attention.

She looks at me, and a thrill I have no business feeling shoots up my spine.

She drops her eyes and gives me her back, indifferent to the sight of me on campus mere feet from her.

I garner another glance over the guy’s shoulder, a smugness tilting up the corners of his mouth as she walks ahead of him into the cafeteria.

I fight the urge to storm in there and remind her what happened between the two of us last night. I have the feeling that I could strip her naked, bend her over one of those plastic fucking tables every college campus has, fuck her until she screams, and the bitch would have the nerve to come just as hard on my cock as she did last night.

She’s unaffected by me today, despite what her body did last night. For some reason, that chaps my ass in the worst fucking way.

But I don’t follow her. I can’t. Someone would step forward and stop me, because the non-verbal pressure of being in a crowd requires people to act a certain way. But as I walk away, I know it would never be the guy who just cast me that smug look. He’s a pussy on a good day, and if it were left up to him to battle whatever sick fucks want to take her to prove a point to her sister, the girl would be as good as gone.

Chapter 5

Alani

My pulse is racing. At first it was from irritation, fielding the hundred questions Blaine was able to shoot in my direction between my dorm and the cafeteria, but then my friend pointed him out, the man I spent the night with.

An unexplained thrill ran through me at him being on campus a mere hour after I left him in his motel room.

Doing what I did last night, under the cover of darkness, is one thing. Being that same girl in the sober light of day is different.

How I managed to look at him and walk away, I’ll never know.

“What is he doing here?” Blaine snaps as if either one of us can control what another person does.

“Maybe he wanted to make sure I got back to campus safely,” I say, trying to find him in the crowd of people as I look out the cafeteria windows.

“He doesn’t exactly seem like the type to care if you’re safe or not, Alani,” he mutters. “Where did he take you last night? What did you do with him?”
