Chapter 40
Lacy’s pov
“We’re about to start talking about books,” Nancy said with a
wicked smile. “As always.
“But first we get to know Lacy’s love life, and this time it’s not
about heartbreak and rejection.” Her hand flew across the
keyboard at the bottom of the screen, and then I heard a sound
clip she’d made on Fiverr a few months earlier. A man’s deep
voice dragged out the words in an echo effect: “What’s new in
Lacy’s love life?”
When she showed the video, I rolled my eyes, as I always do.
But Nancy just clapped her hands happily.
It was obviously a fan asking for a new update on our cooked-
up story.
“For those new listeners who haven’t been following this story
since the beginning: Lacy first made waves last summer when
she hung out with her super–handsome stepbrother. We can’t
believe this real–life bullies–to–lovers story, and frankly, I thought
their future was bound to have a happy ending. But
unfortunately, her stepbrother – whom we’ll call ‘Damon‘ – ends
Chapter 40
up being true to his nature, and the story goes from bully to
lover to bully again. He broke up with Lacy via text message
without any real explanation.”
I slumped in my seat. I shouldn’t feel bad to hear her say that,
none of this was new information, but it brought back memories
of last summer with Kol – intimate, romantic memories I still
cherished, even though, as it turned out, none of it meant
anything to him.
“Now we have a new development!” Nancy continues, excitedly.
“My favorite part, after nine months Lacy and Damon met again!
There was not much contact because my girl went for his best
friend! She had sex with Zane at a party Damon threw in the
house. Lacy, why don’t you walk us through what happened last
night?” Another dramatic pause and giggles.
“Oh god,” I muttered, “Well–last night was really a big party.
Everyone was drinking. I was seeing my stepbrother for the first
time since last summber and our parents had just told us they‘
re getting a divorce.”
“Oh Lacy! What? You didn’t tell me!” she mouthed.
“I know. I really didn’t want to talk about it last night. But I’m sad,
and I definitely feel that way, and I’ve been drinking…” I sighed,
“I didn’t expect to get jealous when I saw Damon and their high school Queen bee all over each other. That hurts my ego. I left
Chapter 40
the scene unable to take their lovey–dovey acting any longer.”
As I spoke, scenes from last night flashed before me – Kol
stroking Emily’s lower lip, and Kol telling Jim, “She’s all yours,
man.” I took a deep breath, cleared my head, and tried to focus.
on Jim. The way he touched me, the way he kissed me, and the
way he made me orgasm. It immediately soothed the pain of
thinking about Kol.
“Mixing in among the dancing body, I loses my friends in the
crowd but bumps into Zane while searching for them. We
danced together and a steamy air roused between them. Zane
was as attractive as Damon of course, and he was… gentler. ”
My heart was beating talking about last night, my cheeks were
flaming hot in embarrassment. Nancy was giggling and kicking
her feet excitedly.
“I love this part” she commented.
“We’ve never kissed. And that’s… Yes… That feels so good. That
feels good. So, we went to my room, and… It just happened.” I
stopped, blushing.
“Okay, omit the details, but that’s okay,” Nancy said with a laugh.
“So be it. But… How are you feeling today? Do you have any
regrets? Or do you feel good about it?”

“Well…” I bit my lip and looked away from my computer screen,
remembering what had happened the night before. My eyes fell
on my bed, still unmade, and I remembered how Jim had felt
about me just a few hours earlier. His lips pressed against mine,
his long, lean body moving and rolling and rubbing over me, my
neck steaming hot.
Actually, it was awesome.
“I think it feels…good about it.” I answered honestly.
“You sound surprised.”
“Well, I think I was too focused on Damon and didn’t realize that
there were better options out there.” Those are my real
thoughts.
It was nothing new that Jim was hot. I, like the other girls in our
high school, had always been acutely aware of this fact. It was
just that somehow, he always felt like he was off limits, not Kol.
It was as if Kol made demands on me a long time ago. Even last
summer, when Kol guided my mouth to suck Jim’s cock. I
swallowed Jim’s semen, but I stared into Kol’s eyes. It’s all for
him.
Until he broke my heart, and then it wasn’t.
Nancy finished this segment and makes me promise to update
Chapter 40
the situation next week, and then we moved on to talking about
books and ended with the new thing we started doing: the Dirty
Quote of the Week. It was my turn to read one.
