CHAPTER 21. Kurt and Kim

  She’d noticed the bruises on her hips earlier in the week. Noah had left his mark on her, and it did delight her.

  He liked to grip her during sex, holding her in place.

  “If something was going on, you’d tell me, right?”

  “Of course, Kim. Why wouldn’t I tell you?”

  “I don’t know. You’ve just been a bit different lately.”

  “It’s college next year, and my mom. You know how she gets.”

  “Yeah, I know, but I don’t like it. You know you can stay over all the time.”

  “I know. Your mom is a wonderful woman.”

  They finished getting changed and made their way out onto the field. It was close to middle autumn, so it was starting to get colder.

  For now, they were going to be running track while the football team practiced, along with the cheerleading squad.

  Their teacher set them to do laps, and staying beside Kim Elsa started at a steady pace.
