Eden High: Part Four (Eden High #4)

by Jordan Silver

  “Don’t let me cum inside you, shit I forgot a condom.” I hate those things and since riding her bareback, I never wanted to go back to them, but I couldn’t risk getting her pregnant, not now.

  We were soon too caught up in each other to care about anything else but the pleasure of being together again.

  I fucked into her as hard as I could, standing up, until that was no longer enough and I took her down to the floor.

  “Wrap your legs around me.” I held her as close as I could as I stroked in and out of her. I wanted those sounds that she made only for me.

  When she dug her nails into my back and screamed my name, I sped up my strokes until I knew I was going too deep, too fast, but I couldn’t stop.

  I lost all control when she came on my cock again, and barely pulled out of her heat in time to cum on her tummy. I hated that shit even more than the condom.

  SIAN

  “What’s with all the weird stares and giggles behind the hands? Have I suddenly sprouted another head?”

  When neither Belle nor Tammy answered right away, but instead turned their faces, I knew something was very wrong.

  “What?” I looked from one to the other, before Belle finally turned her phone to me.

  There was a message there that I didn’t quite get at first. It didn’t compute for a lot of reasons. First, because it was sent to Belle’s phone, and second because the words didn’t make any sense, or I didn’t want them to.

  ‘I told you it was all a farce, did you really think he would leave me for her?’ there was a picture of what looked like Jace in bed with Mandy in our cottage.

  Subconsciously I knew it couldn’t be right. I mean, Jace is always telling me about the many ways people try to shake down other people as he calls it. He even explained the fine art of photo shopping to me.

  And what about yesterday? We’d made love all evening until he took me home. The guy that held me and whispered to me about our future could not have done this. He’d made promises.

  But in that instant all of that went out the window and all I saw was my boyfriends’ head between his ex’s thighs on a bed that looked suspiciously like the one where he’d taken my virginity less than a week ago.

  Is this why he made up the story about someone messing with his precious car? Why I had to drive myself to school this morning?

  It didn’t stop there of course. By the end of first period everyone seemed to know about my being betrayed. I wanted to take my ring and fling it into the nearest toilet, but Tammy and Belle wouldn’t even let me take it off.

  They both swore allegiance to Jace and swore that there had to be an explanation; well not exactly but it was close.

  I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life, and the worst part is, that I’d been flying so high. Maybe this was my punishment for prancing around here like queen of the manor ever since Jace had put his ring on my finger.

  Not that I had been lording it over anyone or anything like that, but I have harbored inner thoughts of superiority and maybe a smidgen of gratification that he’d chosen me over the ultimate mean girl. How the mighty have fallen.

  There was no danger of Jace hearing about this little drama theatre, since he was coming in late today.

  He’d gone to take his car in to the dealer and since he was ahead in most of his classes, he was able to slide on that one. His dad would’ve taken it in but he had a prior engagement and his mom was crap with cars, or so he’d said.

  “What am I supposed to do now? I can’t stay here the rest of the day with this mess, and I have no way of combatting what she’s saying.”

  “I say you ignore it for now until you’ve had a chance to speak to Jace, I’m sure he can straighten this whole thing out. What you will not do is jump to conclusions and mess things up with Jace.”

  What they didn’t know is that that’s my forte. I can’t help it; I always expect the worse, so in my mind this makes perfect sense.

  They were the perfect couple after all. Both Hollywood royalty, both picture perfect and obscenely wealthy. They’d probably have beautiful kids together.

  The thought almost made me sick. Why would he do it though, and how? One part of me wanted to deny, deny, deny. But regardless of what the girls had said, the evidence proved otherwise.

  I worked myself into a fit. First I was going to toss the ring anyway, but then I thought of my dad having to replace it and that left me cold.

  I wanted to run home and hide out in my room, but if I did that mom would ask a million questions, and I wasn’t ready to answer.

  I think I’d already accepted the demise of our short-lived relationship, and by the third time someone mentioned that awful picture in my presence I had gone over the edge. I’ll show Jace Saunders and his hatchet faced girlfriend that I didn’t care about them, or their little games.

  Chapter 9

  JACE

  I’ve been having the day from hell, so the last thing I needed was for my girl to be acting the fuck out.

  She hadn’t returned any of my calls, not even when she was on break, and now she had just walked right by me like she hadn’t seen me.

  I knew some shit was up, because there was a buzz in the air. I didn’t need this shit on the heels of what the fuck had happened to my car last night.

  I had a pretty good idea who had keyed my shit but I wasn’t about to accuse anyone without evidence; besides I had more pressing shit to deal with.

  No doubt Sian’s new attitude had something to do with the cold war going on between her and Mandy.

  Had she done as I said, she wouldn’t be involved. I knew Mandy was dying for my attention, that she was doing all this shit to get it, that’s why I’m not giving it to her, not in the way she’d like anyway.

  I asked Sian to leave it to me, not because I don’t think she can handle herself, but because she shouldn’t have to.

  What she doesn’t get is that the fiancée of Jace Saunders is above that shit. Mandy knows and it scares the shit out of her.

  You see Sian is now in the position to take over everything Mandy has been working so hard for.

  Eden High isn’t just a high school. It’s a place where futures are formed, where deals are made and broken everyday between the powerful men and women who run the entertainment industry.

  The boys and girls who attend this school are the heirs to the Hollywood kingdom, and as the leader of the pack my girl and I are in essence the future of Hollywood society.

  Meaning in a few years she’d be doing what mom now does. Hopefully after many years of me playing in the pros.

  Seems strange to think of a teenager having that kind of power, but there you have it.

  But only an insider would know the ins and outs of our world, and the behind the scenes politics involved.

  Something I’m sure Sian has no knowledge of, and what I’m not going to share with her anytime soon.

  Now I’m watching her as she sashays past me on her way to the field. I’d only just made it to school after taking my car in to be taken care of, so I had no idea what the fuck had set her off, but I was pretty sure it had to be Mandy, it was always fucking Mandy.

  What the fuck is she doing? Everyone except her was looking in my direction, even her girls were looking a little green, as they very well should, since they knew me, and knew that their friend was about to land her ass in a whole heap of trouble.

  I watched to see what she was going to do, watched as guys flocked around her and she smiled and batted her lashes at them.

  “What the fuck?” She was laughing and outright flirting right in front of me.

  “Jace...” I felt a hand latch onto my shoulder holding me back as I started forward. I looked over that shoulder at a very worried looking Jared.

  “Don’t worry, I’m not going to break her fucking neck, yet. First I’m going to find out why the fuck she’s lost her mind.”

  “I think it has something to do with the rumors Mandy started...’


  “Let her tell me.” I walked over to where my little temptress was working her wiles on the poor unsuspecting assholes that had no idea their lives were in danger.

  Even if she wasn’t aware of the danger, they should’ve been, how fucking long have they known me? They should know better than to flirt with my woman.

  And why the fuck did she have to pick Stanley as one of her conquests? Typical female, she probably learned about his one sided feud and was using him to burn me.

  Whatever the fuck Mandy did this time must be a doozy. Ms. Sian was laying it on pretty thick by the time I reached her side.

  I should tan her ass for this shit.

  “Hey come ‘ere.” I grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the group of boys she’d been flirting with.

  “Hey what do you think you’re...?” she tried pulling out of my hand.

  “Not one more fucking word.” I pointed my finger at her face. Her mouth fell open in shock, but I ignored her ass and dragged her to the parking lot and over to my truck.

  I caged her in between the passenger side door and me.

  “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

  “I don’t have to answer to you, you jerk.” I grabbed her face, not too hard because I love the little bitch to death, but she’s a pain in the ass.

  “Don’t fucking push it.”

  “I’ll push it as far as I want, you lying cheating asshole.

  “The what, what the fuck are you talking about?”

  “Your girlfriend.”

  “Uh, that would be you, nutcase.”

  “No, it’s that Mandy bitch, the one you were screwing before I showed up here, the one you said you were through with. The one you were with last night.”

  “Where the fuck did you hear that bullshit?” What the fuck? I was with her last night until I took her home around dinnertime.

  Then I went home and had dinner with my family, did some reading, called her to say goodnight and went to bed.

  “From the source, she’s been telling everybody about it.” She got out from under my arm and stalked off.

  “Get your little ass back here before I spank you right here in this parking lot.” She stopped short because she knew I wasn’t bullshitting, but she didn’t turn around.

  “I said back here, now.” She gave me the stink eye, but flounced back to stand in front of me. I wanted to pull every hair out of my fucking head by the roots.

  If she hadn’t been so hardheaded, we wouldn’t be here now. She only thought she could deal with the likes of Mandy, she had no idea.

  Mandy wasn’t your average high school kid, the girl was fed ambition in her breast milk. The only difference between her and I was that my family had scruples where hers had none.

  She was all about getting whatever she could out of people, by any means necessary. I was more of the opposite, which is why Sian is the girl for me.

  She’s got the kind of heart I’m looking for, kind and compassionate, with a streak of fire. Too bad that dam fire was causing me so much grief here lately.

  If I could only get her to settle her little ass down and stay out of this shit until I take care of it, we’ll be good as gold.

  “Listen you, I don’t know what the fuck that idiot is saying and I don’t really give much of a fuck.

  I do care that instead of coming to me with this shit, you decided to unman me in front of the whole school, by flirting with those assholes. Now I’m gonna have to break Stanley’s fucking face for looking at your ass.”

  “He can look if he wants to, if you think I’m going to stand around while you cheat on me with that viper, then you’ve got another think coming.”

  “Sian, for the last time, I’m in love with you. If I wanted Mandy I wouldn’t have broken up with her stupid ass in the first place, what the fuck is so hard to understand?

  Why do you women do this shit, can you not think for yourself? You hear some shit and just run with it? I thought you had more fucking sense than that. Now get the fuck in the truck before I beat your ass for real.”

  This girl has a head like a rock. She stood there glaring at me ready for battle. I think dad was right, he’d told me only a day or so ago, that Sian would be the one person in this life who would drive me to the brink of murder.

  “SIAN, get in the fucking truck!”

  She jumped and opened the door after I hit the lock.

  She fumed the whole way, but I didn’t care. If she was pissed I was doubly so.

  No matter how this shit turned out she was going to learn that she must never pull a stunt like this again. Fucking flirting.

  “Where are we going? I want to go back to school.” Whatever happened to the girl who was still trying to get her bearings? Where the fuck was she at?

  “Yeah, well, you’re going home with me, seems I have to re-stake my claim since you’ve lost your damn mind.”

  “If you touch me with that thing I’ll chop it off, and to think I gave you my virginity.

  If I’d known you were such a prick I would’ve fucked someone...”

  I slammed my foot down on the brakes and hopped out of the car. I didn’t go near her, no, I’d break her fucking neck if I got within two feet of her.

  Instead, I walked around outside to let off some steam. She came bounding out of the truck two minutes later.

  “Get back in there unless you want to feel my wrath.” I don’t know what she saw in my eyes, but whatever it was it had her making tracks back to the jeep.

  Fuck, I need to bottle that shit. Damn, only sixty or seventy more years of her crazy ass. I can hack it.

  When I was calm enough after erasing the image of some other dude with her from my head, I went back to the truck.

  I sat there for a minute not trusting myself to say anything at first. “If you ever say anything like that to me again, I’ll make you regret the day you were born.”

  I finally looked at her then and she looked scared, like she’d finally realized she’d gone too fucking far.

  Good, maybe now she’d stop her shit and we could get back to normal, instead of starring in the fucking Mandy show.

  “Now, you wanna tell me what the fuck that idiot said that makes you believe that I’m cheating on you?”

  Chapter 10

  SIAN

  I think I might’ve bitten off just a tiny bit more than I can chew here. I’ve seen Jace upset before, but this was a whole new level of crazy for him.

  Granted, everything he said was true, he has been telling me to stay out of the conflict with Mandy and let him handle it, but that was easier said than done.

  He didn’t have to share a classroom with her, or put his life in her hands doing jumps and flies off her damn shoulders.

  I wasn’t half as mad as I had been anymore, since my anger now paled in comparison to his.

  “She’s been texting a picture around school, I don’t know how many people have seen it by now, but it’s embarrassing and humiliating and the kind of thing that makes people do stupid things.”

  “Obviously, because she got you to put your life in danger. She got you to make an ass of you and me. I guess that means that she’s the stronger of you two.

  Looks like she came out the winner in this little skirmish, since she’s probably somewhere right now gloating at the fact that she got you to act like her.”

  Damn that stung, I totally did not look at this situation like that. And where did he get off, what if he were in my shoes, just how well would he have handled the situation?

  I was only too happy to show him the picture I’d downloaded, from Belle’s phone. Let’s see him explain this one away, though I’d had some time to think and maybe I’d been a little too hasty in my rush to judgment, but still...

  He studied it for a minute before passing back the phone and looking at me.

  “Nice try but she missed a few things. Look at this shit again.” I tried to see what he was talking about, but all I saw was the room that looked
so familiar and the head...I couldn’t even think about it.

  “What am I supposed to be seeing?”

  “The drapes on the wall, they’re close but not close enough, look at the pattern again. Also the guy that appears to be eating out that skank, which by the way I’ve never done.

  You’re the first girl I’ve ever put my fucking mouth on and I had to read up on that shit to learn how to do it right.

  Now, if you’ll take a look at his shoulder, he’s not inked, so even if it was an old photo from my time with her, it’s still not me. I had my ink when we were together.”

  Now that he mentioned it he was right. Why hadn’t I noticed any of that before I went off and acted the nut?

  Now I was in a truck with a very pissed off jock, whose face looked like he could strangle me with his bare hands. Gulp.

  I ought to skin that damn Mandy Taylor alive for getting me in this mess, idiot.

  JACE

  She didn’t say anything just sat there looking chastened and pissed.

  I wasn’t sure what the fuck she was pissed about at this point, but my girl has proven in the last few days to be a bit volatile, if not downright nuts.

  She’s been doing the very thing I’ve been trying to keep her from doing, letting Mandy get to her.

  I’ve told her time and again that she has no reason to be jealous of Mandy, but that’s something she’s gonna have to figure out on her own.

  Until then, I’ll have to find a way to keep her ass out of trouble.

  I’m not sure if it’s a side affect of losing her virginity, or if this was a side of her that she’d kept hidden until now, but whatever it was, I had a mini Heather on my hands.

  Lucky for me, I’ve had lots of practice dealing with my mom, or at least seeing her in action. Watching dad reel her in when she gets out of hand, which it appeared this one was going to have a problem with as well.
