Chapter Six
Evan tapped his foot impatiently, looking at his watch, then up at the ceiling as he waited for Chloe to arrive. He remembered how much he had grovelled to their professor over this, promising to perform better in his class and all that jazz. If it were just him that was getting an ‘F’, he wouldn’t have bothered at all. It would only add to his pretense of being a stereotypical jock.
But Chloe looked so crushed over it that it hurt him to see her that way. So he threw his pride out the window just so he could secure this chance for her to redo her grade. Well, their grade, but it was mostly for her benefit.
He shook his head as he remembered the look on her face earlier. Every day, she showed him a new side of herself that he knew she didn’t show anyone else or, at least, never got the chance to because they never tried to get closer. Each time a new mystery was unveiled, he found himself looking forward to seeing her in class. Sometimes, he went to her dorm whenever he knew his ex-girlfriend wasn’t there just so he could see her… just the two of them.
Sure, it was technically unfair for Vanessa, but he’s seen her tongue go down other guys’ throats so many times at parties while they were together. She really didn’t have anything to pin him down for. Also, he wasn’t lying when he told Chloe that he was tired of all of Vanessa’s drama. A guy could only go so far, half-listening to a girl who only talks about shopping and complimenting herself.
Sometimes, he’d wonder why he never saw Chloe before, and he’d instantly feel ashamed. It was probably because he didn’t bother socializing with anyone that wasn’t a part of their group. Popularity often came with tunnel vision, and people like Chloe were almost always thrown in the sidelines, out of sight and out of mind.
He wondered what would happen if he asked Chloe out – whether she’d bite his head off for it or actually entertain the idea. She was so unlike the girls he dated. He began to list down all her characteristics in his head: she was studious, funny, didn’t care what other people thought about her—
“I’m sorry I’m late!” a voice cried out, and Evan turned around.
His eyes widened, and his mouth fell open. He thinks his brain might’ve short-circuited as soon as he saw her.
She was simple, alright – simply fucking beautiful, Evan thought.
“Evan?” she called, looking at him worriedly. “Are you alright? Aren’t you going to open the door?” she asked.
He snapped himself out of his trance and unlocked the door, Chloe rewarding him with a small smile before she entered the lab, and once again, Evan found himself staring at her.
Chapter Seven
Their second attempt at the experiment was a success, and it was a lot more fun because of Evan’s antics.
Chloe had resolved to let go of her inhibitions and let loose for once in her life. She welcomed his energy and messing around, laughing heartily at his digs at her.
Evan smiled softly as he watched her enjoying herself. “You look different like this,” he remarked, and she blushed, immediately growing self-conscious. Evan quickly amended his statement. “I didn’t mean it in a bad way! I just mean that I… I’ve never seen you laugh this hard before. I’ve never seen you have fun, to be honest. It kind of makes you look… cuter.” He mumbled the last part as he scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling his own cheeks heat up.
Chloe bowed her head, biting her lip as she struggled to control the butterflies fluttering in her stomach at the compliment. He was right about her not often being this way, because she never let herself be this happy and free.
“You kind of look different tonight, too. You’re a whole lot prettier with your hair down,” Evan continued. Since he sort of shot himself in the foot already with calling her ‘cute’ and all, he figured he might as well just go for broke. He raised his hand and took a strand of her hair, making Chloe’s breath catch. He tucked it behind her ear, letting his knuckles brush on her skin, smiling as she grew a brighter shade of red from his action. “You are really beautiful, Chloe. Why are you hiding yourself away?” he whispered.
She looked straight into his eyes, his chocolate orbs seducing and coaxing the truth out of her. “My parents are obsessed with being the best, and they expect nothing less from me. Anything lower than a 4.0 is considered a failure, and they don’t tolerate such failure. I have to be the perfect student who gets straight A’s to earn the title of a perfect daughter. I’ve been struggling under the pressure of just trying to keep up with their expectations of me, and I’m so afraid–” she bit her lip to stop herself from tearing up.
Evan shook his head and held her face with both hands, gently tilting her head up to look at him again. Chloe gulped and admitted her secret.
“I’m scared, Evan. I work so hard to keep my grades up because I don’t want to lose the only people who care about me,” she confessed.
Evan’s heart plummeted at her revelation, and suddenly, all he wanted to do was take her pain away. So he did the one thing he could do – the one thing he’s been thinking about doing for some time now – he closed his eyes and kissed her.
Chloe’s eyes widened as Evan’s lips moved over hers, his lips and tongue coaxing her to open up to him. She closed her eyes and surrendered herself to the feeling, putting her hands on his chest and clutching desperately at his shirt. She opened her mouth and let out a gasp as his tongue entered her mouth and brushed at her tongue, swirling against each other in a type of dance. His hands moved down to her breast, cupping them in his hands as he pulled his mouth off, a string of saliva connecting them. Their eyelashes were lowered and their gazes heavy with heat. Evan moved to plant soft, wet kisses on her neck as he squeezed her breasts gently, making Chloe moan with each stroke.
She didn’t know where to concentrate her attention anymore, and she was slowly starting to not care. Her hands clutched at his shirt tighter, bunching it in her hands to where a sliver of his skin – the taut and defined muscles underneath – were showing. Her feet gave out and she was falling, but Evan held her by her lower back and lowered her gently to the floor, laying himself on top of her. He lifted his shirt up and off of him, then grabbed Chloe’s hands and placed them on his chest, letting her hands explore his skin. Her hands were soft and curious, exploring every inch of his body and making him sigh with need. Feeling determined, Chloe raised herself up and started to unbutton her blouse, Evan’s eyes growing even darker as he watched button after button come undone.
He helped push her blouse off of her shoulders and he stared, letting himself have his fill of her. Losing a little of her self-confidence, she moved to cover her chest with her arms, but Evan held her by the wrists and stopped her, pinning her back down to the floor.
“Don’t,” he said, his breath caressing her face. “You are so beautiful,” he said softly. He moved one hand to her back, raising her up as she tried to remove the clasp of her bra, her hands shaking at the effort. He snuck his forefingers to her bra straps and pulled it off of her, slowly revealing her breasts. He lowered his head and circled the areola with his tongue, making Chloe cry out and raise her chest up and closer to his mouth.
He nipped and sucked, alternating between her nipples and pinching them with his fingers, sending her into an overload of feelings and sensations that were driving her to the brink of the unknown. She started to feel a growing heat between her legs, and she pushed her thighs together in an effort to alleviate the feeling. Evan realized what she was doing and placed his hand on her navel, causing her to freeze up in shock. His hand slowly glided downward and dove between her thighs, forcing them apart. He planted himself between her legs, and she gasped as she felt his erection through his jeans.
She felt his hand go further, pushing her skirt up until he felt the fabric of her panties, groaning as he noticed how soaked she was. He swept her panties to the side and placed his fingers at her entrance, spreading her juices around and on her clit, stimulating her further.
Chloe turned her head from side to side, unab
le to comprehend what was happening anymore. A part of her was embarrassed and shocked at how scandalous and lewd Evan’s actions were, while an even bigger part of her wanted him to do more; to finally give her the satisfaction she needed.
She closed her eyes and raised her hips up as she let Evan pull off her skirt and underwear. She heard him unbuckle his belt, and she opened her eyes just in time to see him take off his jeans, her eyes widening as she saw his cock jutting proudly, his thickness and length both scaring and exciting her at the same time.
He lay on top of her once more, putting his hands on the back of her knees and raising them higher and wider. He rubbed his thumb at her knees, coaxing her to relax, and he frowned as he saw the frightened look on her face.
“Please,” she whispered. For a second, Evan thought she wanted him to bury himself inside of her already, and he was itching to do just that. But with a second glance at the apprehensive look on her face, he realized that she was asking for something else.
“Are you… are you a virgin?” he asked in disbelief. Chloe turned her head away, her cheeks flushing as the blood gushed to her cheeks, and he got his answer.
Chapter Eight
He gazed at her in wonder. The moment started to shift, and he wanted this to be more, to turn into something more than just sex.
“I’m not gonna hurt you. I promise you’re going to feel so good you’ll never want me to get out,” he swore to her. He lowered his face to hers and kissed her, even more passionately than before. As soon as he felt her relax underneath him, he moved his cock to her entrance and plunged inside of her slowly. She winced at the pressure she felt, the pain increasing with every inch he settled inside of her, and she closed her eyes.
He felt the thin sheet of skin that served as her maidenhood, and he looked at her, pinching her hips and forcing her to look back at him. Her eyes dazed as she drowned into his chocolate brown orbs. Evan locked his jaw and pushed hard, breaking through and taking her virginity away.
Chloe screamed in pain, her hands trying to push him away from her, but he lowered himself instead, plunging deeper until he was completely inside of her. A bead of sweat fell from his forehead as he willed himself with all his might not to move, letting her acclimate to his size. As soon as he felt her muscles relax, he pulled his cock slowly, almost all the way out before thrusting inside of her once more, keeping his pace slow and even.
Chloe shut her eyes tight as Evan continued to pump inside of her until she felt the pain start to fade away, replaced with a little bit of pressure after every stroke. Soon her whimpers turned into moans, and Evan’s concentration finally broke, replaced with an animalistic need to come inside of her. He pumped faster and faster, the sound of skin slapping on skin reverberating around the walls. She began to move her hips against his, wrapping her legs around his waist to pull her closer to him. Her hands went behind his back, her nails biting at his skin with each hard thrust, and Evan grunted at the combination of pleasure and pain.
He gave Chloe a sloppy kiss, their tongues fighting for dominance and thrusting into each other’s mouths, mimicking his thrusts until finally, he felt Chloe’s inner walls start to quiver and tighten around him. She screamed into his mouth as she climaxed, a stray tear falling from her eye as her walls undulated all around Evan’s cock. He pumped inside of her three more times before he roared, reaching his peak.
He collapsed on top of her, his hips still moving slowly as she milked him for every last drop. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the head, silently expressing everything he felt at that moment.
Chloe held him tight against her body, loving the feel of his warmth and his skin on hers. She bit her lip, holding herself back from admitting her feelings for him. She had revealed and given him so many things about her now that she didn’t know how she would be able to handle telling him anything else, especially the fact that she was one-hundred percent sure that she was in love with him.
They laid there for a while before they got up and helped each other get dressed, smiling and exchanging kisses every few moments. They held hands as they left the building and got into Evan’s car, and he drove to her dorm.
“I don’t want to go back to my room yet,” Evan admitted, and Chloe shyly invited him inside. He walked in and grabbed her, lying on his back on the couch as he kissed her.
They made out for a few minutes when, suddenly, the door opened and Evan pulled his mouth quickly away from hers. His shoulders tensed as he stared at the door.
Vanessa and a few of her friends went inside and were shocked as they saw Chloe on top of Evan on the couch.
“Oh wow, Evan. I didn’t think you were into freaks of nature like her. Is that why you broke it off with me? To experiment a little with animals?” she sneered, making her friends laugh.
Chloe got off of Evan and watched as he got up. His jaw clenched and his hands rolled into fists that he hid in the pockets of his jacket.
“I’ll see you later, Chloe,” he said before he left, leaving her alone with her tormentors. Vanessa laughed at this.
“Well, well. Look at that ghost. How do you feel being tossed out like the sloppy seconds you are?” Vanessa told her.
Chloe blinked back tears and went inside of her room, leaning against the door. She didn’t understand what had just happened. Why didn’t he do anything? Why didn’t he say something to Vanessa about them? Why did he just walk away?
All of these questions plagued her mind, and she shook her head, trying to eliminate the one question she didn’t want to worry about the answer to.
Did he not care about me at all after everything that happened between us?
She dreaded coming to class the next day.
She had worried herself to sleep last night, thinking about what she’d say to Evan and what they now were to each other. She could sense that Evan felt something for her, but the way he acted last night contradicted it. She wanted to know how he really felt, but she didn’t know how she was going to bring it up.
“Hey, babe,” a voice called, making her jump in her seat. She turned around to see Evan taking his seat, looking at her like she was being weird.
“Hey,” she managed to say. She looked at her hands, wondering where to start.
“Are you going to watch my game tomorrow?” he asked, his eyes shining brightly as he imagined Chloe wearing his jersey number across her chest and yelling out his name from the crowd.
“Uh, I’m not sure. I’ll think about it,” she replied hurriedly. Evan frowned, wondering what was happening to her, and was about to ask before the bell rang and the professor came in, carrying a huge stack of papers with him.
“Alright, kids. It’s your favorite part of being a student: pop quiz. You guys better have been doing your advanced readings or you’re going to fail miserably on this test,” the professor said.
Chloe started to sweat, panicking as she realized she had not read up on the next topic at all. The person in front handed her the test paper and all she could do was stare. Evan nudged her shoulder, motioning for her to start answering and she struggled, looking desperately for questions she could answer or guess correctly.
But, the bell rang and Chloe didn’t even reach half of the test.
She blew it.
She bombed her first test.
Her shoulders started to shake as she was overcome with disappointment. She had let herself get distracted by her emotions, just as her parents had feared she would.
Evan’s brows furrowed as he watched Chloe shake with anxiety. He raised his hand to hold her shoulder when she bolted out of the room, leaving her things. Evan took her bag and followed after her, his worry escalating as he watched her run into the football field and stop by the goal post.
“Chloe! What is the matter with you? Why did you run off like that?” Evan yelled, stopping just a couple of feet away from her. She turned around and looked at him angrily, her eyes pooling with unshed tears.
“Evan, what happened la
st night?” she asked, and he shook his head, not understanding the question. “Why did you leave without saying anything?”
Evan knew what she was talking about, but he pretended not to. “What do you mean? I did say something. I told you ‘I’d see you later,’” he smirked.
“That’s not what I meant and you know it,” she said, hating this part of him that liked to pretend. “Did what happened between us last night in the lab not mean anything to you?” she asked, her voice moving down to a whisper.
Evan dropped his smirk and moved to stand in front of her. He placing his hand under her chin, tilting it up.
“Last night was amazing,” he told her, and Chloe looked unsure. “I swear. It meant a lot to me, baby. More than what you think,” he admitted.
Chloe gave him a small smile, and they held each other tightly, the both of them hoping that their feelings for each other would last.
If only they knew.
Chapter Nine
The next day, Evan was pumped and ready for the day’s football game, especially after Chloe promised she’d be there to cheer him on. He gave her his extra football jersey to wear. He loved the confused look she had when he handed it over, but she agreed that she’d wear it.
His door opened and his heart leaped, expecting to see his girlfriend appear on the other side. Instead, he saw a man who looked like the older version of himself entering his room.
His stomach plummeted, and his earlier good mood disappeared. He had forgotten all about him these past few weeks.
Evan’s father’s brows were furrowed as he frowned severely at his son.
“What’s this I hear about you fooling around?”
Chapter Ten
Chloe looked at the fraternity house Evan was staying in, biting her lip anxiously as she thought about what to do next. She had come here to surprise him before his big game, wearing his football jersey and even putting on some face paint to line her cheeks with.
