"What do you want? Come on, spit it out…" Amy's heart sank as Anirudh's eyes raked over her. She cursed herself for agreeing to dice with this creep. His questions were always humiliating, and if she gave him another shot, God only knew what insane thing he'd demand next.
Anirudh almost blurted, "You," but caught himself—it was too much, and she'd never go for it. After a beat, he grinned. "I wanna check something…"
"Check? Check what?" Amy blinked, thrown off.
"Your answers from before…"
"Oh…" Her stomach dropped. She'd just confessed she was a virgin—how the hell do you "check" that?
"Chill, just the first two," he said, flashing a warm smile that almost seemed sweet, like he'd read her freakout.
"How do you even check that?" Amy's regret hit hard.
This guy was a total sleaze…
"Easy—I take a peek," he teased, eyes glinting.
"No freaking way!"
"Why not? Beats stripping, doesn't it? If I dared you to dance for me, I'd see it all anyway…"
"But everyone's out there…"
"No sweat, we'll hit the bathroom…" Anirudh's grin turned devilish, a fuzzy memory of this line nagging at him.
"That's sketchy, right?" Amy hesitated, scanning the room. No one was watching. She let out a shaky breath.
"What's this, Amy? You bailing?" Anirudh smirked, taunting her.
"Me, bail? As if. Fine—I'll go first. Hang back a sec," she snapped, channeling her sister Aurora's stubborn streak.
She didn't wait for his okay, just bolted for the bathroom.
Anirudh chuckled, playing it smooth. When the coast was clear, he sauntered after her.
The bathroom hid behind a wall, a sink out front. After a quick check for tails, he yelled, "Amy, you good? My gut's killing me!" He hammered the door for show.
"Hold on, jeez!" she called back, rolling with it.
The lock clicked open. Anirudh darted in, slamming it shut and twisting the bolt.
Amy's face blazed red. This punk was pure trouble.
"Alright, Amy, coast's clear. Drop it—I just wanna look," he said with a wicked leer.
"You pig…" She shot him a flirty glare, fingers fumbling at her gown's zipper. But his hungry stare froze her halfway.
"Move it, Amy, or they'll bust us!" Anirudh hissed, pulse racing. Eleanor and Aurora were still out there—if they caught him gawking, he was toast.
That lit a fire under her. With a final glare, she yanked the zipper down. The beige gown slipped, baring her creamy shoulders, then her chest. Those purple-black lace curves hit him like a punch—his breath caught, eyes blazing. He was itching to grab her.
"Amy…" His voice cracked, thick with want.
"Yeah?" She stopped mid-strip, meeting his molten gaze. Her heart slammed against her ribs.
"Can I… touch you?" he rasped, trembling.
"No shot!" she teased, tossing him a scolding look.
"But I need to…" Lust took over. He lunged, pinning her to the wall, hand flying to her chest.
She nearly yelped, but his lips crashed down, tongue diving in like a storm.
Amy, whose one romance never passed hand-holding, spiraled. Her breath hitched as his fingers grazed her, mind a tangled mess.
Her softness hooked him. He devoured her lips, kneading her chest, the other hand hiking her gown to skim her thigh, creeping toward her core.
Her silky, untouched skin shivered under him…
"No, Anirudh, stop… please…" His scorching touch neared her virgin territory, and panic seized her. No one had been there—ever.
It felt electric, but dread drowned it…
Her begging just stoked him. His hand slid under her bra, gripping bare flesh, the other brushing her soaked panties…
"No, not here… Aurora's out there…" His wild moves woke something primal in her. She fought him off, craving it all the same—scared out of her mind…
Aurora's name snapped him out of it. He jerked his hands back.
"Amy, I'm sorry… I didn't mean…" He stared, terrified she'd hate him.
Her head was a storm. Ignoring him, she yanked her clothes straight and bolted, like he'd drag her back any second.
He watched her vanish, words dying on his lips. Was she pissed? What if she snitched to Aurora?
Sighing hard, he pulled it together, faking calm. He swung the door open—and slammed into something soft, reeling back…
