Being the Bad Boy's Victim (42 page)

“Connor,” I cut him off.

“Wh—”

“Now.”

He didn’t need to be told any more as he guided himself to my entrance, and lightly pushed the tip in. I felt the burn. And as he gently began sliding in as slowly as possible, the burn grew.

“Ready?” he whispered.

I bit my lip and nodded, my eyes locking with his. With that, he rocked his hips forward, and fully pushed himself into me. I let out a gasp as the pain flared up. His head was buried in my neck, and he whispered sweet nothings in my ear as the pain began to fade. He pulled back a bit and slowly began thrusting in and out, building up speed as the seconds ticked by.

It just felt so amazing that I found myself rotating my hips in response and unable to hold back my moans. Before long, there was a deep sensation building up within me, and I felt my body begin to tremble.

“C-C-Connor,” I gasped out, “I… I…”

“Me too, babe,” he panted. “Wait, just wait…”

He rocked his hips back into me, hitting my G-spot and sending us both over the edge. I felt myself tighten and release, then peak uncontrollably. Moans poured out of our mouths like prayers, and my body continued to shake and spasm underneath his muscled one for a couple of seconds.

“I love you so much, Bells,” he whispered after a couple of minutes. “You know that, right?”

“Mmmm,” I hummed out, giving him a small smile.

He gently pulled out, climbed off the bed and returned moments later, still stark naked.

“I’m exhausted,” I whispered to him.

“Then, let’s sleep.” He crawled in next to me, pulling our bodies close. After a little bit, I finally spoke.

“I love you, too, Connor.”

And even though we were drained and practically unable to move, I still felt Connor’s face break into a wide smile, and his arms pull me in that much closer.

I nervously chewed on my lower lip as I put down my pencil and breathed out a sigh of relief.

I’m done!
I had finished my last exam. Then as I glanced at the clock, I realized that there was less than thirty minutes left, which means that I could leave.

A little over two months ago, I would have never imagined that I would be finishing high school. But now? Well, things have changed from two months ago.

As soon as I exited the classroom, I was tackled with a hug. I laughed as Jess squealed in delight, bouncing on her toes, and attempted to squeeze the life out of me.

“We did it!” she cried out, finally pulling away. “We are done!” Her excitement and joy was contagious, and I couldn’t help but grin back at her.

“Yes, yes we did!” I laughed and hugged her back.

“Awww,” someone cooed, “How adorable!”

I looked up to see Matt walking towards us, a wide grin spreading across his face. I guess Jess’ enthusiasm had spread to me, and I couldn’t help but fling myself at Matt, hugging him tightly.

“Oh, good lord,” Matt sighed, jolting backwards a step as Jess lunged at us.

We laughed as we pulled away, noticing Matt’s amused expression.

“Jessica Poston!”

At the sound of her name being screamed, Jess whirled around as Matt and I looked down the hallway in confusion. At the end of the hallway stood the one and only James Bell.

“I owned that exam!”

Laughter echoed throughout the hallway as Jess congratulated him with a big kiss, causing Matt and I to shriek and shield our eyes in mock horror.

“Ah, there’s my baby girl.”

A surprised gasp escaped me as muscled arms came around my waist, pulling me into a warm chest. A large smile spread across my lips, and I turned around and wrapped my arms around Connor’s neck.

“So, I’m guessing you found that last exam easy?” I questioned, noticing his large smile and twinkling eyes.

“It shows, huh?” He gave my forehead a quick kiss and I giggled.

“That and, well, the fact that in reality you’re a genius who hides it from his parents because he is just oh-so-rebellious,” I joked lightly.

Connor threw his head back and laughed, a mischievous look dancing in his eyes. Although I was slightly suspicious about why he constantly had that look in his eyes lately, I decided to ignore it and just focus on what was happening at that moment.

“Can I talk to you?” I asked quietly, watching as more and more students began to exit the classrooms.

“Of course,” Connor responded, a flicker of concern flashing through his eyes.

I grasped his hand and began walking towards the school exit. “Nothing’s wrong,” I said quickly, not wanting him to worry. I could see him visibly relax as we exited the school and stood on the stairs outside the doors.

“What’s on your mind?” he asked, leaning against the wall next to me.

“I don’t want to be annoying and bring it up again, but why are you going to Florida State?” I asked, before realizing how that must have sounded. “N-not that it isn’t a g-good school! Just…”

“If I’m as brilliant as they say I am, why am I going there?” Connor finished for me, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

I let out a shaky sigh and nodded.

“Listen, Bells.” His eyes shifted around nervously, and he looked as if he was trying to think of something to say. “I-it’s just the choice I’ve made.”

I stared at him silently before finally speaking, “As long as you’re happy.”

“I just finished my final exams and I’m standing with the girl I love.” He grinned at me and added, “I’ve never been happier.”

“You little charmer.” I winked, going up on my tiptoes to kiss him softly.

“Seriously?”

Our bodies jolted apart as Matt stood by the door with his arms across his chest. I blushed furiously and hid my face in Connor’s chest while he just beamed and winked at his friend.

“Well, we are going out to celebrate later today, so…” Matt glanced at me and smirked suggestively, “Unless you and Connor were planning to celebrate in a different way.”

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped as I looked up at Connor in horror. Immediately, I began pounding his chest and screaming profanities at him while Matt just watched in amusement.

“I didn’t say anything!” Connor cried out, holding up his hands in defense.

I paused, narrowing my eyes at him, before looking back at Matt. “H-how…?” My heart was still racing from when I attacked Connor.

“Well, I wasn’t positive, but after your little freak out…” Matt beamed at me, causing me to almost die with embarrassment.

“You tricked me!” I pouted and glared at him while Connor just laughed, not at all bothered by it.

“Wait ‘til Jess finds out!” Matt cried out, an evil gleam flashing through his eyes.

My body stiffened, as did Connor’s. We were both aware of how crazy Jess could get, when she finds out about it.

I acted instinctively as I lunged at Matt, and tried to strangle the life out of him. Connor joined in and began punching… well, not exactly.

My badass boyfriend helped me by bitch slapping Matt’s arms.

Bitch slapping! And not even his face! Nope, his freaking arms.

“Cat fight!”

All of our heads snapped to the direction of the door, where James, Jess, and the majority of the senior class was now crowded, watching us in amusement. I froze, along with Matt and Connor, before remembering why I was even in this position.

“Feel my wrath!” My war cry erupted from within me, interrupting the silence that had engulfed us.

I continued my attack on Matt, only to be stopped again, but this time, by someone a little more important than the student who had spoken before.

“What in the world is going on here?” Principal Helen asked, pushing through the wall of students that blockaded her exit. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene that lay before her.

“Seriously?” She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in annoyance. “You guys are lucky it’s the last day of school, or else, so help me, you all…”

“Helen, lighten up!” someone shouted from behind her. A look of shock appeared on her face and everyone knew exactly what to do next.

“Haul ass!” some blonde girl yelled, sprinting towards the parking lot. We all scattered, Connor holding my hand tightly as we ran towards his parked car. James, Matt, and Jess followed. They climbed into Matt’s car and gave Connor a quick nod.

“My house,” Connor informed me, as he pulled out of the parking lot, oblivious to Principal Helen’s angry shouts, which were quickly fading behind us. A loud laugh escaped me as I took in everything that just happened.

“Aren’t we going to get in trouble?” I finally managed to choke out between laughs, my stomach aching painfully while I tried to calm myself down.

A grin spread across Connor’s face when he glanced at me, “Course not, darling. We’re done with that school. She doesn’t have any power over us anymore.”

I couldn’t help but scoff at his statement. “Power? Connor, what power did she ever have over you?”

I rolled my eyes when I heard Connor’s gasp of surprise, followed by his laughter.

“You’re right, she ain’t got nothin’ on me.”

“Nope.”

“Yep!”

“Never again.”

“Hey, that sounds cool.”

“Yeah.” I nodded. “Never again.”

My heart was pounding mercilessly in my chest, and it felt as though I was on crack. I was on a high at that moment, drowning in a pit of emotions.

“Bellaby is so pretty,” Sophie stated loudly, looking at me in awe as she did so.

I gave her a shaky smile and looked back in the mirror, admiring my reflection. The white dress fit me perfectly, and instantly I was happy that I chose to wear flats instead of heels on my big day.

My graduation day. Yeah, that big day.

“I absolutely love how they let you wear your own dress instead of those god-awful robes,” my mum exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Well, it has to be white so…”

“Hush up, Bella! Enjoy the moment!” She clapped her hands and hopped up and down.

“I’m ready to go!” I announced after giving myself a final look over.

Graduating is just something you never think is going to actually happen. As far back as I could remember, I never really thought about actually making it through high school. I mean, who does? No, I just automatically thought about college and all the great things that would happen, the new people you would meet, and the experiences you would have after. Thinking about the actual day of graduation never really crossed my mind, until that moment.

“Oh, pumpkin, you look fab!” my dad said, laughing like a child.

I laughed and shook my head at him. “Good try.”

He chuckled in response and herded us all out into the yard, where he insisted on taking as many pictures as possible, before Luca started complaining.

Inside the car, I felt my stomach tighten when it started. My parents were talking in the front seat while Sophie and Luca argued about who was going to graduate first. I wasn’t sure if they were just playing around or they really don’t realize that they were the same age and would most probably graduate at the same time.

A few minutes later

“We’re here!” My dad announced, causing my stomach to drop.

To be honest, I had no idea what I was so nervous about. I had passed all of my exams with flying colors, and I would be going to UPenn in a couple of weeks, due to the early programs I had signed up for. I was on the right track. Nothing was wrong. And yet I was a bundle of nerves, and my hands were clammy.

The sun was shining brightly and the giant tent that sheltered the field created the perfect setting. I quickly said goodbye to my parents before walking off to the gym, where all the students were waiting.

The gym was crowded, filled with excited kids who were ready to graduate as soon as possible. I spotted Jess standing by a group of girls, admiring one another’s dresses.

“Jess!” I finally called out as I neared her. A grin broke out in my face when I saw how excited she looked when she saw me.

“You look gorgeous!” she cried out, catching the attention of others nearby.

I blushed and ducked my head down, telling her to quiet down repeatedly. Jess’ dress was a short fit and flare, and she looked amazing in it.

“Have you seen any of the boys?” I asked, when people finally started turning away.

“Not yet…” she trailed off, looking around. “Oh, is it because you want a quickie with Connor before graduation?”

My jaw dropped and I stared at Jess in surprise. She knew!
Oh my God! She’s going to kill me.
I instantly began backing up, holding up my hands in defense.  

“I… I can… how?” I stuttered, still making sure that I kept her at a safe distance.

She gave me a hard look before cracking a smile. “I can’t believe you weren’t going to tell me! I know how important that was for you!” Her eyes were wide as she quietly scolded me.

The second I saw her smile, I was instantly relieved. “I was going to tell you, I swear! It’s just…” I cut myself off. “It was Matt! Matt told you, didn’t he? That little…”

I was silenced by Jess’ loud laughter, and I stared at her in confusion. When she was finally able to compose herself, she added, “Bella, when we came back from the movie, we kind of put two and two together when we saw you guys in the same bed, naked.” She wiggled her eyebrows in a teasing manner.

“B-but Matt said…”

“Honey, he was there, too. Whatever he said, it was probably only just to tease you and Connor.”

“I’m going to kill him,” I muttered. “So, basically, you all saw us naked?”

“Well, you were covered with the sheets. But I mean, come on! It’s not that hard to put two and two together.”

I shook my head in disbelief, jolting when Jess hit my shoulder. Her eyes were fixated on something behind me. A deep blush rose to my cheeks when I finally turned around, taking in the sight that had all the girls drooling.
