GINGER On the evening of the full moon, I once again waited for my whole family to go to sleep. Luckily, both my dad and Paige were warriors, so they had early bedtimes. I quietly snuck out of the house, made my way into the woods, and disappeared into the darkness of the night. It was drizzling and I couldn’t even see the moon, clearly being covered by the clouds. I cursed my bad luck and hoped that it would be okay that there wasn't much moonlight available. I made my way to the same place I went the last time, deciding it was a good spot, barely able to see in the dark, cloudy night. I wrapped my arms around my body thinking I should have worn a jacket as the small droplets wet my exposed skin and clothing. By the time I made it to the right place, I was practically shivering but it was so close to midnight I couldn't turn around. I was just glad my eyesight had somewhat adjusted to the darkness, but it still felt a bit ominous with everything so dark and wooded, with the only lig

GINGER I groaned, my stomach burned, my limbs were sore. I struggled to open my eyes and instantly shut them again, the light scathing my pupils. Goddess, I was in so much pain. I had to go to the hospital. I groaned again. The pain in my stomach worsened, and acid pushed its way up my esophagus. I tried to swallow and shove it back down, wanting to fall back asleep. But it was useless. If I didn't get up at that second, I'd throw up in my bed. I rolled until I made it to the edge, sliding out of the bed onto my knees. Finally opening my eyes, I looked around and realized I wasn't in my room. I blinked, and memories started flooding back from the previous night. Fuck—I was in Tyce's room, wasn’t I? My stomach grumbled, forcing me to my feet. I sprinted as fast as I could, recalling where the bathroom was from last time. I pulled the bathroom door open to be met with steam—someone had clearly just showered. But I couldn't think about that right then, as my eyes locked with the toil

GINGER That Friday, I received a text from Lucy to remind me of the plans she had to go to the nightclub. I quickly responded and agreed to go, sighing as I fell into my bed. Barely a minute after I relaxed, Paige stumbled into my room, closing the door behind her. "Gigi, I need your help," she cried out, collapsing onto the floor next to my bed. I got up quickly. "What happened? Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, but…" her voice trailed. "What is it?" I asked, getting down on the floor next to her. "I think I'm in heat!" "Oh!" I exclaimed. "What does it feel like?" "Oh, Goddess, this is so embarrassing." She turned bright red. "But I'm so…" She lowered her voice until she was whispering. "Horny." I doubled over in laughter. "Where's Dylan?" "He's working until two. Goddess, I'm dying!" "And how did you want me to help?" I snickered. "I hope you weren't expecting me to take care of you on Dylan's behalf." She burst out laughing. "Holy Artemis, no! What the hell is wrong with y

GINGER I was waiting for some of the crowd to clear when I felt a presence behind me, and someone's hands slid down the sides of my torso to my hips, a shiver traveling up my spine in response. I turned around and was about to berate whoever decided to just grab me without asking first when I came face to face with Tyce, my heart skipping a beat in reaction. So, maybe he had forgiven me? Goddess, he looked good, especially with my buzz taking control of my hormones, my whole body relaxed and aroused, my inhibitions lowered. Before I could stop myself, I turned back around and ground my ass against his pelvis. He instantly fell into sync with my dance moves, but it somehow seemed more intimate than it ever had with previous dance partners. His body heat surrounded mine, his fingers grazed my thighs, hips, ass. Soon his hands were against the hem of my skirt, his fingers gripping the skin of my thighs, and his palms gliding against the fabric of my dress. I was practically moaning wit

GINGERThe next morning, I woke at noon to Paige bouncing on my bed, my head throbbing and my throat dry. Goddess, why did I do that again? Why did I overdo my drinking again when I promised myself not to? "Wakey, wakey!" she sang out."Goddess, can't you leave me alone?" I groaned."Did you forget we volunteered for the temple bake sale today? Those blondies aren't going to bake themselves. Heidi's already on her way to help."I groaned again."So, come on, how was last night? I've been dying to find out how it went and what you think of Lucy." She giggled.At the mention of the prior night, all my memories came rushing back to me of Tyce's fingers inside me, pushing me against the wall, fucking me on the floor, his vampire teeth, all the shots I took with Lucy and her friends, and Tyce driving me home. "Fuck!" I cried out."What?" Paige stared at me."Oh Goddess, oh Goddess, oh Goddess.""What?" Paige asked again."Fuck, fuck, fuck.""Oh my Goddess, Gigi, are you going to tell me or
