Chapter six
Atticus
There isn’t anything worse than having your best friend fucked up but having your girlfriend ignoring you—again. I swear it’s a weekly thing with Jinx. But it shouldn’t surprise me; she’s always been like this, and I know after a few days, she’ll be crawling back like nothing has happened. But I also know she’s been under a lot of stress these last few weeks.
I have a solution for that if she only fucking talked to me.
I swear if I catch her, her ass is getting it. I don’t fucking care at this point. I’m done with her shit. With what Maddox did, I need some stress relief. I don’t know what she’s up to or where she is. It’s like she doesn’t care that her stalker is still out there following her around.
Maddox is still passed out, so I step into the hall, pull out a smoke, and place it between my lips as I take the stairs to the exit. We all have our vices, and I’ll never give mine up. The afternoon sun damn near blinds me as I light my smoke. It would be nice if the dorm were for smokers; just give me a corner. Who gives a shit if you’re allergic to smoke, die for all I care. Why should I have to come outside like a dog?
I’m scanning the school grounds when I see a familiar figure running. What in the fuck? I drop my smoke, step on it to ensure it’s out, and take off after her. So many scenarios are running through my head, but they don’t matter. I’m getting some answers out of her, and I’m getting something for myself, too.
When I reach her, we are close to the woods—her least favorite place.
“Jinx, I’m coming for you.” She turns to see me before I grab her by the waist, and she lets out a sharp scream. “Don’t bother. No one will save you.”
I haul her over my shoulder and move further into the woods, with her kicking and scratching me.
“Fucking let go of me, Atticus. I’m not kidding. I’ll hurt you and not feel sorry for it.”
“Good, that’s what I want. Fight me. I need it.”
She tears open my arm, blood pooling where her nails dug in, and a rush of arousal shoots to my dick, getting me hard. This is precisely what I needed, a fight. I need her to know what she does to me. I toss her on the ground, watching her tumble into a pile of leaves. When she looks at me, her hair is a tangled mess. My beautiful, tangled mess.
“I fucking hate you. I don’t want anything to do with you. Haven’t you figured that out yet, Atticus?”
I chuckle under my breath. I’ve known that Jinx hates me for a while, but she always comes back to me.
I drop to my knees, grabbing her ankles. “I know, Little Grim. Trust me, but I don’t care how much you hate me; you’re still going to be screaming my name, and that’s all that matters.” I pull her close, spreading her legs wide. I love it when she wears skirts. Jinx tries to kick my hands off her, but I only tighten my grip.
“Let go of me,” she demands bitterly.
With a quirk whirl, I turn Jinx onto her stomach. Sitting on her legs, I flip her skirt up and smack her ass.
“You need to learn one thing. You aren’t the boss of me.” I slip my finger in between her thong, grazing her ass cheek. “Maybe we should play a game instead.” She tries to wiggle free, but I only add more pressure to her legs.
“The only game you’re going to play is how to eat food from a straw after I break your jaw.”
So, she does know how to fight back. It's about time she found her words, not that it’ll do her any good.
“I’ll let you go on the count of three. You remember this game, right?”
“Fuck you,” she spits out.
“Good. I’ll chase, and if I catch, you’re all mine, Little Grim.” I smack her ass once more before pushing upward. “One.”
I back away, giving her space to get up. “Two. I suggest you start moving, or I’ll fuck you on the spot.”
She climbs onto all fours and pushes herself up. When she turns around, her clothes are filthy. Her eyes harden as she steps back.
“I hope you trip and fall, you asshole.” She swings around and takes off.
I watch as she zig-zags between trees. When she’s almost out of sight, I race after her. I want her deep in the woods where no one can hear her scream, and we’re alone.
“Better start running faster, Little Grim. I’m almost on your tail,” I taunt her from behind.
She cranks her head back, only now realizing how close I am. Fear flickers in her eyes the closer I get. It’s like Jinx only now realized she wasn’t getting out of this mess. I reach out, treading my fingers in her hair, pulling tight, and snapping her head back. With a crash, she lands in my chest.
“Caught you, Little Grim. You know what that means, don’t you?”
“Yeah, I’m going to knee you in the balls.”
She turns and drives her knee into my balls, making me grip her hair harder until she whimpers.
“You also forget. I don’t mind the pain.” I reach under her skirt, push past her thong, and drive two fingers into her.
“Atticus.” Her voice strains to say anything further as I pump faster.
“I know you can take it, don’t fight it. Spread your legs for me.” I let go of her hair to undo my pants, stroking my stiff tattooed dick. I withdraw my fingers from her, reaching up; I push on her back, bending her over. Sliding my hand down her arm, I twist her arm behind her back before slamming into her pussy. Her scream echoes in the woods.
“Fuck, Jinx. I’ll never get tired of this.”
She gasps the more I demand from her; with each drive of my hips, her muscles squeeze me tighter. Jinx can lie all she wants, but she loves this as much as I do. She moves her hand to the tree before us and pushes back into me.
“I fuckin’ hate you, Atticus Banks.” She moans.
“Yeah, I’m sure you do.” I find her clit, giving it a hard pinch as she comes all over my hand. “God, I love it when you make us wet like this.” Taking my wet fingers, I lean forward and press them to her lips, and she opens, willing to suck them clean.
Releasing her arm, I move back. “Get on your knees and face me.”
When she turns around, she breathes hard but drops to her knees. Without being told, she opens her mouth. I cradle the back of her head and slowly slide into her mouth. I don’t stop until she gags, pulling back a bit. I drive in, feeling her tongue press against my tip makes me want to explode.
“You’re gonna swallow it all. Get ready.” I hold her head still as I move back and forth. Pleasure takes over as I spill down her throat. “Fuck, Odette.” I slip out of her mouth, and I watch her swallow all my cum.
She slumps onto her heels, looking tired. Maybe if I were a different guy, I would’ve asked how her day was before fucking her, but that isn’t me. Small talk before isn’t what I want. She has Maddox or Ashton for that shit. But looking at her now, I can tell something happened.
“Jinx?” I sink to my knees, cupping her chin. “Why weren’t you with one of the guys earlier?”
She jerks her head out of my hold. “Atticus, I don’t trust you.”
Her words made my blood boil. How doesn’t she trust me? I’ve been with her through everything, and now she’s spouting this bullshit, not having it.
“What’s going on? And don’t say ‘I don’t know.’”
“Every time my stalker contacts me, it’s always after you are around me,” she mumbles, keeping her eyes downcast.
“What the fuck does that mean?”
She digs around in her fanny pack, taking out her inhaler. “I didn’t stutter. What does it sound like I meant?” She takes a puff before placing it back in her pack.
“You can’t honestly think I would stalk you. What would I get out of it when I’ve had you this entire fucking time? You forgot that valuable piece of information, haven’t you? You’ve been mine since I moved into your house years ago. Now tell me what is going on.”
With a somber expression, she looks up at me. “Cameron is back.”
Rage rolls through my veins. How can that asshole be allowed back into this school? He hasn’t even been gone for two weeks. What bullshit is going on here?
“What did he do to you?”
“Nothing, leave it alone.” She shrugs, getting up. “Can I go? I need to get cleaned up.”
“You can avoid this forever, Jinx. Having Cameron back will only bring back nightmares. You have to deal with this now.”
She looks at me with defeat. “Atticus, I need a break. When do I get a break? I can’t do this anymore.” Tears pooled in the corner of her eyes.
Aw fuck.
I lift her into my arms, cradling her head into my neck. “Come, I’ll take you back. There’s someone else that needs you, too.”
Even though I want to be selfish and keep her to myself, Maddox needs her. Maddox is going to be needing us all now. I’m not sure I can rescue him from this one. And I feel useless. I’ve been there whenever he needed me, and I’m failing him.
Maybe I am a little bit of an asshole and should start caring more, and now I’m failing Jinx. I should’ve been there for her today. The walk back to the dorms is quiet, and neither of us has the energy to comfort one another.
My only question remains, how the fuck did Cameron make it back onto campus. Who the fuck signed off on that? It has to do something with Roan. I know it. I don’t trust that fucker, especially now that he’s hooking up with Mother. They have to be cooking something up, but what?
“Drop me off at my dorm. I don’t wanna see anyone.”
“That’s nice.” I ignore her and take the stairs to my floor.
Maddox will enjoy a visit from her. God knows it’ll calm the asshole down.
