NessaTwo days had passed since the night at the event with Nash and Brady. I had been intoxicated and allowed myself to indulge in certain things with Brady that I wouldn't normally have done, and I didn't regret any of that. But what I did regret was allowing Nash to see how upset he had made me for allowing him to come in between what I wanted and what he thought I should have.It didn't make sense to me why he acted the way he did. One minute he wanted me, and the next I was tossed aside like yesterday's news.Hopefully, I’d be able to enjoy the rest of my weekend without having to deal with his or anyone else's bullshit. Today was Sunday, and I wouldn't have much to worry about. I didn't plan on seeing him, or Brady, or anybody else for that matter. I had a paper that I needed to research and being in the library seemed to calm my nerves.Which anyone else would say was weird. But that was me, the fucking weird girl.Resting my elbow upon the table, my head hanging

Stepping out of the car, the three of us collected all the boxes and bags that held the little bit of shit I actually did have to my name. Noah, having made his way into the lobby, collected a sleek silver rolling cart because even though I didn’t have that much shit, I didn’t feel like making multiple trips. The sun was setting behind the towering building, casting long shadows on the sidewalk and reflecting orange and pink hues off its shining exterior. Call me lazy, but if given the choice…anyone would prefer my route.The building itself was a sight to behold, reminiscent of something straight out of New York Magazine. Its modern design stood in sharp contrast to the quiet area it resided in and towered over the sidewalks below, its grandeur almost intimidating. My hand instinctively came up to shield my eyes from the warm golden light as we approached.With a deep breath, I prepared myself for this new chapter in my life as we crossed through the glass double doors into the ma

NessaThe moment I laid out the ground rules, a flash of possessive anger crossed his eyes as they seemed to darken while his smile fell. I couldn’t breathe in this room with him, and every time he looked at me, I felt the heat of uncontrollable pleasure shoot through my core as I clenched my thighs together trying to show that he didn’t bother me.How the hell could I have been so stupid?To get an apartment like this, this far into the school year, and I wouldn’t have to pay anything. It was too good to be true, and I should have known that. Unfortunately, though I was so caught up in my own foolish happiness that I didn’t admit it until it was too late.Nash had tricked me into his home, and now I had nowhere to go.‘God, why is he so fucking gorgeous. Resist the temptation.’The thoughts I told myself were working, up until the moment he shot up from where he had been sitting and rushed across the space between us, one hand on the back of the sofa by my head and the

Flashing lights, thumping music, and tons of alcohol. That was what I was confronted with when I asked Becca for her help. The mass amounts of gyrating bodies that flooded the apartment were unimaginable, and though I hated everyone being in here…I acted like I was enjoying myself. The last thing I needed was for someone to see that I was playing games, especially when I was trying to make a point towards Nash.Lingering against the far wall of the living room closest to my hallway, I guarded the only entrance to my private domain, swishing a glass of red merlot in my hand as I watched the chaos of drunken assholes party within my home as if they didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, who would have turned this party down when it was in an upscale apartment complex that Becca and Noah stated no one could get into. At least that was the case until I moved in. The thought brought a smirk to my face as I pondered over how pissed off Nash was going to be when he came home and saw

The rest of my weekend was spent with Nash, laid up in his bed—walking around naked—he took me on every surface of the apartment and to my surprise, had the house mysteriously cleaned up when I had been sleeping Sunday afternoon. So come Monday morning, I was sore, tired, and had a smile on my face I couldn’t get rid of. Not to mention an ache in my legs and body that was both good and painful.Every moment that we spent together was constantly replaying in my head as I pulled myself from the comforts of the bed and attempted to get ready for class.Nash had insisted this morning that he drive me to school, and though I tried to argue, he wouldn’t accept it. I wasn’t sure why I had worried about what looks I was going to get from those around me, but I was. However, to my surprise, he pulled up into the school parking lot and simply dropped me off. A small kiss, and then he was driving away.My heart fluttered with a sense of overwhelming excitement, but I hid it. I tried to a
