Chapter 1

Prologue

That day, I took advantage of my roommates being away.

I secretly invited my boyfriend to meet me at our dorm.

Five minutes before his arrival, I deliberately got myself stuck in the front-loading washing machine.

I heard heavy footsteps approaching from behind me.

I tilted my hips back and let out a soft, playful whine.

"I'm stuck, baby. Can you help me out?"

He didn't say a word.

Later, things started to feel very wrong. When I finally broke free and looked back, I saw him…

My name is Tessa. Today, with my roommates gone, I planned for my boyfriend to come over and spend the day with me.

I specifically ordered a very provocative outfit online for the occasion.

After my shower, I applied scented body lotion over every inch of my skin.

I didn't even skip a single toe.

I knew my boyfriend, Caleb, had a specific obsession with that part of my body.

Just thinking about him made my heart race.

We had been dating for six months, and we had shared intimate moments almost everywhere.

But doing it here, in the dorm, felt like it would be a completely different thrill.

I checked myself in the full-length mirror. The new outfit looked incredible.

"But that bra is just in the way," I thought to myself.

I pulled it off and tossed it aside.

Seeing my reflection―exposed and glowing―my face flushed deep red.

I couldn't wait to see Caleb's reaction when he walked in.

The waiting was agonizing, and Caleb was still a few minutes away.

I decided to have a little wine to settle my nerves.

The alcohol started to hit me, and I felt a pleasant, fuzzy buzz.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

I swayed my hips over to open it, expecting Caleb, but it was his friend, Barrett.

Barrett was a mountain of a man, standing at six-foot-two with a massive, muscular build.

Standing in the doorway, he looked like a brick wall blocking out the sun.

As soon as I opened the door, his eyes swept over me from head to toe.

I suddenly realized how little I was wearing.

I felt like he had already seen everything.

"Can I… help you?" I stammered.

"I'm looking for Sage. I need to grab something from her. Is she not here?"

Everyone knew Barrett and Sage were childhood best friends who shared everything.

I shook my head. Barrett turned to leave, but then he paused.

"Actually, mind if I use your bathroom real quick?"

Before I could even answer, he pushed past me and walked inside.

Oh, no!

My discarded underwear was still sitting right there on the bathroom floor.

By the time I ran over, Barrett had already picked them up.

"Why is there a face mask in the middle of the floor?" he asked.

Barrett held up my lacy thong, a teasing, knowing smirk on his face.

My face felt like it was on fire. Finally, he stopped teasing me and dropped them back down.

He turned his back to me and started to relieve himself.

In the small dorm, the sound was loud and powerful, making me feel strangely flustered.
