Eden High: Part Five (Eden High #5) Read online

  Our tongues danced while I teased her with my fingers until she got wet on my hand. I backed her up to the wall and dropped my own jeans before driving into her.

  “Ahhhhhh...” her scream got trapped in my lungs.

  “Shit, no, wait, baby.” I walked over to the bed with her legs and arms wrapped securely around me.

  Lying her down, I came down on top of her and stayed there for a second before pulling myself up to rest on my outstretched arms.

  “Sorry about that, I don’t have to hurt you to be rough.”

  “You didn’t hurt me, not really.” She reached up to caress my face and I kissed her palm.

  I stroked in and out of her as I bit her flesh. Instead of the wild fucking I had envisioned all afternoon, it was slow and sweet.

  I fought the urge to fuck and just made love to her body. I licked and sucked her nipples until she creamed my cock.

  Her nails dug into my back as she sought my mouth so she could suck on my tongue as she took my cock all the way inside.

  “You feel better each time I touch you.” It was true; each time with her was better than the last.

  I’ve heard the myth about not having sex before a game and up until this moment I had adhered to it.

  But today, for some inexplicable reason, I just had to. One look at her standing in the hallway with the sunlight glinting off her hair and it hit me in the gut.

  “Jace?”

  “Yeah baby?”

  “You feel good too.”

  “I know. Ouch.” I rubbed my chest where she bit me before we ended up rolling all over the bed, laughing even as I slid in and out of her heat.

  When she bit me again and dared me to do something about it, I pulled out of her, turned her onto her hands and knees and slammed into her from behind.

  Her screech this time reverberated around the room. “Sorry about your hair.” I grabbed her ponytail pulling the band from around it.

  I wanted to fist her hair myself and that’s just what I did as I fucked into her like a piston.

  The wet sounds her pussy made with each stroke around my cock was like ten touchdowns.

  And the way she clenched around me and sighed my name like a prayer was priceless.

  She begged for my mouth, “Kiss me Jace, I want your mouth.” And I gave it to her.

  I love those kinds of kisses, the wet sloppy tongue down each other’s throat kind.

  As if my dick wasn’t hard enough, the way she moved her ass in her heated state made me feel like I was growing inside her.

  “Harder Jace.”

  “You sure?” I wrapped my other hand around her throat and pulled her head back even farther.

  “Uh-huh.” I pushed her body forward but still kept hold of her hair. With her head in the pillow I lifted her ass higher so I could I pile drive into her the way we both wanted, needed.

  Her poor neck didn’t escape this time either as I doubt it will anytime in the near future. It’s just something I can’t help when I’m inside her.

  I get this overwhelming urge to mark her all over, to put my stamp on her, so that no one would ever get near.

  “I’m cumming.” Shit pull out Jace.” Fuck, fuck, fuck not again.” Too late, I had already buried my cock balls deep into her cervix and started spewing cum inside her.

  It will be a miracle if I don’t breed this girl before her eighteenth birthday, which will be the wrong fucking move.

  I promised her parents that I would take care of her; this was not keeping my word.

  I eased down on the bed beside her and pulled her back against my front, while my cock dripped the last bit of Jazz into her belly.

  “I have to stopt taking chances with you babe. But I don’t trust those damn birth control pills and I’m fucked if I’m wearing a rubber with you, so what else is there?”

  “Well, since we’re both clean how about a diaphragm or something like that?”

  “Let me read up on it and I’ll let you know. Do you want me with you when you talk to your mom?”

  “Uh, actually I was thinking that I might be able to get it without her knowing.”

  “No.”

  “What?” She stopped her move to get out of bed.

  “I said no, you’re not doing that behind their backs. I’m pretty sure that they know we’re having sex, let them know that we’re being careful at least.

  And another thing, I listen to mom talk about her relationship with grandma and how important it was for them to share certain things.

  You and your mom have always been close, I don’t think you should shut her out of this; it might cause hurt feelings or something I don’t know.

  So, do you want me there?”

  “No, gross.

  “Whatever! Just make sure it’s soon.” I slapped her ass playfully and that led to another tussle, which led to her being impaled on my cock as she sat astride me and rode my newly hardened cock for the quickie that I had first intended.

  “Shit, I think that last one might be the kicker; you’ve drained all my strength. Let’s get back hussy before the team realizes what you’ve done and burn you at the stake.”

  “Me, I’m not the one who went all caveman and practically dragged you here by the hair.”

  “Yeah, but you were the one with the tight ass that you waved in front of the poor unsuspecting quarterback when all he was trying to do was feed you.”

  “I have to go clean up.”

  “NO, don’t. I kinda like the idea of you walking around with my scent in you.”

  “Uh, I have to climb up on people’s shoulders in a couple hours.”

  “Then clean up before you leave for the game, but leave it for now.”

  I bit her jaw playfully and helped her back into her clothes. She acted all shy and embarrassed by her wet panties but I thought that shit was hot.

  “You’re so cute babe.” I had her back on the road in another ten minutes after she played with my dog, who seems to be attached to her, and we each grabbed a sandwich and some fruit that Marisa prepared for us.

  “Don’t forget, your brother and I have a meeting with the rest of the team back at the school after the game.

  I don’t want you standing around out there, it’ll be dark by the time we get back so go straight home and I’ll come and get you after.”

  “Fine mister worrywart.” I dropped her off at her class, which was just about to start, before heading for my own.

  I wasn’t too worried about those girls fucking with her at the game, because I’d pretty much dealt with that shit, but I still didn’t trust any of them around her.

  Things had been kind of strange on the Mandy front. She was acting almost rational which, I knew to be a crock, which meant she was up to something and her something here of late has always involved my girl.

  I was giving serious thought to tagging her, the way dad had mom tagged. I don’t know why I hadn’t done it already.

  I should get on that this weekend. The trick was to tag her without her knowing it. If I had been thinking I would’ve put it in her engagement ring, but my mind hadn’t been there then.

  Shit, she was right. I was turning into an old woman; no wonder dad had so much shit going on. Whoever said this love shit was all flowers and music hadn’t done love in the twenty-first fucking century.

  It was headaches and worrying and not wanting to let her out of your sight for fear that something might go wrong and you wouldn’t be there to help her.

  ‘I finally get it dad.’ For years he’d been trying to explain what I jokingly called his psychosis, but fuck, if I didn’t have the same illness.

  Chapter 6

  SIAN

  Wow, I had no idea our guys were this good. The crowd was going wild as Jace threw for his fourth touchdown of the night.

  It was an away game, but you couldn’t tell from the number of Eden High supporters in the stands.

  I kept my eyes on Jace the whole time he was on the field, which was a lot, since his
defense was kicking ass.

  I was so excited for him, because there were scouts here tonight; men that could help him achieve his dream.

  He’s only been talking my ear off about it for the last week. I was excited for him and a little apprehensive.

  He will be going away to college a whole year before I do. He’d already informed me that I will be attending the same university as he, and I have no real say in the matter.

  But what about that year in between, what if he meets someone else? Our relationship had just started and it will be a whole year before I had to actually worry about such things, but each time the thought crossed my mind I felt sick and scared.

  I should’ve known that he would pull what he did after the game, when he ran off the field and snatched me up in his arms to the roar of the crowd.

  “I think I should always fuck you twice before a game babe, that was my best day on the field yet. Don’t forget what I told you, straight home off the bus.”

  “I remember, stop fussing and have fun, is your dad going to be in the locker room with you?”

  “Yeah, that’s always been the plan, come I’ll walk you to the bus.” There were a lot of stops for congratulations and our friends were being their usual noisy selves.

  “I wish you could ride back with us.”

  “Yeah I know, but those are the rules. I have to ride back on the bus with the other girls, Belle.”

  “Fine, then we’ll see you there. Don’t forget we’re coming over to Jace’s place tomorrow to celebrate so you two lovebirds don’t stay up too late tonight.”

  I shooed them away once we all made it to the bus. There was a lot of chaos and commotion with everyone trying to get to where they needed to be so they didn’t get left behind.

  I saw Jace turn and wave to me before he got on the bus with the rest of his team. I still didn’t understand why the cheers and the team couldn’t ride together, but apparently there had bee an incident a few years ago that changed everything. Whatever! The game was over and I was looking forward to tonight.

  I rushed back to the seat all the way in the back, my mind already on what clothes I was going to pack for my first overnight visit with my guy.

  My phone beeped with a text and I shook my head even as I laughed and made my way back off the bus. The coach wasn’t here yet, I still had five minutes at least to spare.

  Chapter 7

  JACE

  Where the fuck is she? I’d been home for almost an hour already. Which means she had more than enough time to get home and shower and be waiting for me to pick her up.

  All my calls had gone to voicemail and she wasn’t returning them. My gut knew that something wasn’t right, but I refused to let my mind go there.

  I admit that I’d been feeling that something wasn’t right. I put it off as this damn secret she’s been keeping, but now...

  I was about to head out the door when the doorbell rang. I pulled it open, ready to blast her for driving here alone this time of night, but my words died in my throat.

  “Jared, what happened?” The look on his face, plus the way he just looked at me as if he couldn’t form the words, and I knew.

  I wasn’t aware of falling until dad caught me. “Where is she, what happened to her? Tell me.” I knew she wasn’t dead, I would’ve known if she were dead.

  I should’ve known, all day I kept feeling that something was wrong. Why hadn’t I just insisted she ride with me, fuck the rules?

  “She’s gone.”

  “Gone where, where the fuck is she?”

  “We don’t know; mom and dad are waiting for a ransom note or something, but so far nothing.”

  “How long has she been gone?”

  “Since the game, she didn’t come back on the bus with the other girls and no one else can remember seeing her since we left the field.”

  This can’t be happening. “Jace where are you going?” dad followed me out the door.

  “I have to go find her, she could be hurt. I can’t...”

  I ran to my car not knowing where the hell I was going, only that I couldn’t sit there and wait while she was out there, alone and probably scared.

  Jared jumped into the passenger side when I turned the key in the ignition. “Where are we going?”

  “I’m going to retrace her steps. Did you guys call her friends?”

  “Yes, but none of them saw her after the game and we all walked back to the lot. Belle and Cassandra drove in with Tammy and you know the cheerleaders always ride together after the games.”

  “So, no one knows where she could’ve gone? None of the other cheerleaders saw or heard anything?”

  “The cops were going to question them after they got a list from the coach.”

  “And she didn’t say anything about going anywhere? Of course she didn’t. She would’ve told me if she was going somewhere.”

  I sped through the streets while calling her phone over and over again.

  By the time two hours had gone by, I felt like I would go mad. We searched the field over and over again and the surrounding area to no avail.

  By the time we got back to her parents, there was still no word. The cops had questioned everyone they could think of and no one had seen anything.

  The girls had been so excited about the big win that no one really paid much attention to who got on the bus back.

  Plus, it was a known fact that though it was school policy for the players and the cheerleaders to travel in separate buses, sometimes some of the girls snuck on the bus with the guys. So if someone were missing, no one would’ve thought much of it.

  Mom and dad had shown up at the Claiborne residence while I was gone, and dad gave me the news that he’d already called in our security team.

  “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing here dad. This is fucked, she can’t be gone; if somebody hurt her dad I’m...”

  “Shh, careful son.” He looked pointedly across the room at the cops like I gave a fuck.

  I paced back and forth in the foyer feeling my heart like a dead lump in my chest. For the first time since I can remember, I didn’t feel invincible.

  I was scared out of my fucking mind. This was the worse thing I’d ever felt, more so because another possibility had begun to occur to me.

  “Dad is this about us? Did they take her because she’s mine?” “No son, I don’t think so; I have people who keep on top of things like that and there haven’t been any rumblings.”

  “I gotta go. I can’t stay here.” I found myself running out of another place. I needed to go where I’d been with her last, to feel close to her there.

  Why couldn’t I think straight? At a time like this, when I needed to focus I couldn’t. It was the not knowing that was killing me.

  If I had some direction, I could go from there. But there was nothing. I sucked in my breath and closed my eyes. I needed to get ahold of myself, and fucking think.

  I called Belle and asked her and the others to come over.

  I needed to know what her last words were. What she was thinking before she just disappeared off the face of the fucking earth.

  At home, I tried to find her scent on my pillows and my sheets. I’d had her there only a few hours ago, how could she be gone?

  By the time her girls showed up, I’d pulled myself together. I had a board set up with all that we’d learned so far.

  Dad had called and given me an update and her mother had finally called to talk to me. No one knew anything.

  “Thanks for coming, I know you talked to the cops but I need you guys to tell me what you remember about the last time you saw her.”

  They were understandably upset, but they put their heads together. The bell rang off and on all night as the news spread.

  I went out on another search with the guys while the girls stayed back at the house, until there was no light left and we returned.

  Mr. Claiborne had called a press conference for the next day to ask for the public’s help, and I
had gone into my trust to double his reward amount.

  I didn’t have any words for anyone, so most people just left me alone with my own thoughts

  “Did anyone see Mandy after the game?”

  That brought a hush over the room, but I could see that they weren’t really that surprised.

  I had more reason than most to suspect her though, and if it turned out that she had anything to do with this, I’m really going to kill her.

  My eyes fell on Cassandra and she too looked like her mind was heading in the same direction.

  “Actually, I did see her with Liz and some of the others getting on the bus. They were kind of loud so you couldn’t have missed it.”

  “Thanks Tammy.” I still wasn’t sure though. It was the only thing that made sense. Sian hadn’t just disappeared and the only known enemy she had here was Mandy.

  I knew a little of what she was, had learned almost too late what I had let slither into my fucking life, but I didn’t think her evil ran to this.

  I can’t and won’t accept that Sian was somewhere that I couldn’t reach her. Until my heart told me different I would not believe that she was really gone.

  We were actually going to be spending the night together for the first time; I’d squared it with her dad.

  Even though he wasn’t too pleased, in the end he’d agreed that he’d much rather know where she was, than to be left wondering and worrying. Now this.

  The phone never stopped ringing, or the doorbell going. I almost lost my shit when I heard one of my guys arguing with someone at the door.

  I went to see what was going on only to find Mandy standing there, trying her best to look solemn.

  She forgets I know her. One look in her eyes told the story. She was fucking gloating and it took everything in me not to punch her in the face.

  “What are you doing here?” I had to play it easy. I couldn’t afford to alienate her farther, but neither could I appear to be giving into her shit too easily, she might grow suspicious.

  “I heard about your...friend, I thought I’d come by and offer my condolences.”
