"We're standing uncomfortably close and he makes no sign that he intends on moving from the position in which he has me pinned against the door, unable to flee. His eyes run down my face, my neck, over my cleavage, and he makes a sound of appreciation from his throat.  He dips down to kiss me and I open to him on contact. Bringing his hands up to either side of my jaw he cradles my face, giving me a far sweeter kiss than last time. Unhurried, less desperate, but somehow it holds more intensity than last time. When he moves to deepen the kiss I give no objection, tilting my head, and lifting my arms to throw them around his neck."

There's nothing quite like the freedom of college. For many young adults, it's their first experience with life on their own, but for Vale Clarke, it's about more than that. It's her one and only chance to carve a new path for herself away from her dysfunctional family. When she loses her scholarship she's faced with two options: come up with the dough, or kiss her future goodbye.

Inspiration strikes her when she meets Kaden West. A hot rock prodigy born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a sense of entitlement to match. How far is Vale willing to go to lock down the future she wants?

Sex Sells

"I'm not sure I see it," I say, combing over the photo on a girl's phone. She's certain that her baby is actually our school's quarterback's kid. She is positively certain that he has his nose. I'll just have to take her word for it. I know better than to tell a woman that her baby's daddy isn't who she thinks it is. I've seen Maury.


She turns her glazed eyes to me one more time while struggling to focus. "Well, can I get one of those pills then?"


I wince. "I don't know, hon, you're already pretty loaded. Why don't we wait until tomorrow and get you some water for tonight? Hmmm?" She leans forward, scrambling to get a hold on the counter in order to stop herself from tumbling to the hardwood floor.


I don't know how I ended up on babysitting duty. This chick was already hammered when she walked in, and I don't even think she knows Kaden, so I start asking around for who she came with. A couple of Dave's friends come over to claim her.
