Nineteen
Cameo
Once I got home from the gym, I knew something was wrong, but I ignored it. I didn’t want to think of anything else today, all I wanted to do was get Alec’s lunch made and ready for when he was hungry and then take a nap.
The last few days I’ve been so tired, and a nap sounded divine. Although part of me missed Sager so badly, I still left him in the parking lot of his gym, not giving him much of anything to go on other than I had to go.
Every time I leave Sager, I break my own heart a little more. I don’t know how much longer I can take it, but I also can’t just leave Alec.
When my phone dings with an incoming alert, I scan the room to make sure that Alec is nowhere to be found. If he found out, he would be devastated, no angry. Well, maybe more than that but I can’t think about that right now. My only thoughts are consumed with Sager and the words that are now dancing on the screen in front of me.
S: Did you think of me as he fucked you last night?
His crude words cause me to pause, but I feel the heat creeping up my neck. I don’t know how he does it, but he always knows when Alec and I have sex. It’s almost like he watches us or gets some alert on his phone like the dirty boy he is. He would probably be someone to get off watching someone else have sex.
Me: No.
He hates when I give him one-word answers. The last time I did it; he bent me over a table and fucked me hard in the back of his gym while there were classes going on. I’m pretty sure one of his classes heard me cry out as I came. I was red as a tomato when we left the gym to grab some food to take back to his place.
So somewhere in the back of my mind, I’m hoping he does the same thing this time.
S: You know how I feel about one word answers.
My pussy clenches, and I wiggle in my seat. I knew he would send that message. It’s definitely not the first time I’ve gotten the words from him via text message.
Me: No, I didn’t think about you last night.
His response is instant. He knows I’m lying. I don’t know how he can read me so well, but he always knows. For the past seven months, he’s all I’ve been able to think about.
S: You’re lying. I know for a fact that your pretty boy can’t make you come like I can.
Biting my lip, I try not to imagine the cocky smirk that’s probably spread across his lips. Like I said, he always knows. Instead of writing back, I delete the messages and turn my phone on silent. Getting off the bed, I make my way to the bathroom and start to get ready for my day.
Once I’m ready, I grab my phone and check it. I see a few messages from Sager, but I don’t open them yet. I hear someone walking down the hall, and when Alec comes into the room, I can see the anger written all over his face.
My stomach sinks and the only thing I can think of is that he knows.
When he stops in front of me, I swallow the lump that’s caught in my throat, and I try to keep calm. He grabs for my phone before I can react and he holds it up in front of me. Alec looks nothing like the man I fell in love with five years ago.
Right now he looks like he could commit murder. I’ve never seen him look like this before and for the first time, I’m afraid of what he might do.
“Who is S?”
Hearing the question is painful, and I wish I never got involved with Sager. I knew better, yet I went against my better judgment. But I don’t regret it.
Sager made me feel something, even if it was wrong. Even if I should have never gone to his gym that first time, I learned more about myself in the last eight months than I ever have in my twenty-nine years.
When I don’t answer his question, he turns the screen on and hits my messages. He forces me to read them, and I think I’m going to be sick.
S: So you’re going silent on me? You can always tell me the truth.
S: I know your pussy is clenching just thinking about what my mouth and fingers are going to do to you next.
S: Cam, I’m going to spank that sexy ass of yours when I see you.
S: Imagine my cock filling your pussy. I can’t wait to see your pussy stretched over my dick as you ride me.
I don’t even want to look into his eyes. He’s read the same messages I did.
“Look at me, Cameo,” he growls.
When I look up into his eyes, I can see the anger, hate, and betrayal. Before I even know what’s going to happen, I feel the sting on my cheek.
“You’re a fucking whore.”
Gasping, I grab my cheek and look up at him. He raises his hand again, and I flinch. He goes to hit me again, but my phone starts to ring causing him to pause. When Alec looks down at the screen, I can see his thoughts as if he’s saying them out loud.
“Answer it,” he barks out, forcing the phone in my face.
I do as I’m told, and he pulls it away from my ear and hits the speakerphone button.
“Hello?” I force out the word, and I can’t imagine what Sager is going to say.
“You know bad girls get punished right.”
I can hear the humor in his voice, and I would give anything to be with him instead of here with Alec right now.
“I know,” I whisper.
Alec grabs my arm, and I whimper as he holds me close to him.
“You okay, baby?” He sounds concerned, and Alec puts pressure on my arm causing me to wince. When I look up at him again, he motions for me to keep talking.
“Yeah, just a little tired.”
I hear his laugh, and it’s light and airy. Sager doesn’t take a lot of things seriously. He’s always joking and fun. Maybe that’s what attracted me to him in the first place.
“I can’t believe that the pretty boy actually made you tired this morning, I’m impressed.”
Alec’s grip increases and I know that I need to keep the conversation going before he does something else to me.
“Did you think of me while he was fucking you?” Sager’s voice drops an octave, and I can feel Alec’s eyes bore into me.
I refuse to answer that question, and Alec digs his nails into my arm. Sager asks me another question when he doesn’t get an answer from me.
“Was it my cock that you envisioned being shoved down your throat while you were on your knees?” The raspy sound of his voice that typically turns me on scares the crap out of me now. Alec is hearing everything, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
When I don’t answer this time, Alec grabs the back of my hair and yanks until I answer Sager.
“Yes,” I choke out.
I can feel the bruises starting to form on my arm, and I close my eyes as the warm tears fall down my cheeks.
“I already warned you about one-word answers.” His voice is still a husky sound.
That voice has brought me to my knees so many times over the last seven months, but right now, I know that it’s only digging my grave further and further with every word he says.
“Yes, your face was the one I saw when I came.” My voice cracks and Alec closes his eyes.
When he opens them again, I don’t recognize the person staring back at me. Before he can end the call, I tell Sager, “He knows.” Alec slaps me again, and I try to keep the tears from falling down my face.
“I should have fucking listened when everyone told me to stay away from you. That you were just a money-grubbing slut,” he all but spits at me.
I can feel his saliva land on my cheek, and I try to wipe it off, but he doesn’t let me. Instead, Alec grabs my hands and pushes me back on the bed. I try to fight against him, but he’s stronger than me.
“You want to be treated like a slut, I’ll treat you like a fucking slut.”
He slaps me again, and I try to reach for my phone. His hands slip to my neck, and I beg for him to let me go. When he doesn’t, I can feel myself start to go numb. Alec isn’t this person. I’m the one who made him do this.
My vision gets hazy, and I think that I can hear someone yelling, but it’s way too far away. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. He wouldn’t be here or even in the neighborhood.
Everything disappears, and I feel like I’m floating.
Flashes of Sager and I stream through my mind, and I see every perfect stolen moment we’ve had. I should have just ended things with Alec. I fell out of love with him somewhere during this path I’m on, but I didn’t want to admit it.
I didn’t want people to know that I liked – no loved, the dirty things that Sager did to my body. The way he made me feel was magical and everything else that I’d never be able to explain.
I should have seen the end before it happened, but I honestly never thought that we would get caught. I was a fool, and now I only have the memories of what once was.
Sager Stone was the best and worst thing for me wrapped up in a sexy package.

A hand is hovering over my face, and when my eyes snap open, I see Sager looking down at me.
He looks worried, and my mind is still too hazy to process what happened. “Thank fuck, you’re awake.” I look around the room, trying to place myself but I don’t recognize it at all.
“We are at G’s place. He lives a few blocks from you.” Nothing makes sense. Why would we be here?
I go to rub my neck where it hurts, but Sager stops me. “Don’t, babe. Your neck is bruised. It’s going to be sore for a few days.”
“What happened?” I choke out. My mouth is dry, and my head is killing me. Trying to sit up, he wraps his arm around me and helps me up.
“When I showed up, he was choking you. You said he knew and I heard your scream so we got in the truck and came right here. He had his hands on your throat when we got here.”
Tears threaten to fall, and I close my eyes, leaning my body against his. “I’m so sorry.”
He pulls my head into his neck, and his fingers play with the strands of my hair. “Don’t apologize for what he did to you. You didn’t deserve that. He should have never laid a hand on you.”
I swallow, and he kisses the side of my temple.
“You’re moving in with me. I’m not taking no for an answer.”
I pull back enough to look at him, and he’s a mixture of angry and scared. I hate that I am the reason for this. I never meant for any of this to happen.
“What if the baby is his?” The question scares the heck out of me, but I know it’s something we have to talk about at some point. As much as I want this baby to be Sager’s I can’t be certain. If Alec is the father, I know that things will never be easy. He will use that against me and make our lives hell.
“We’ll deal with it together. I’m not letting you go back there alone. He wants to touch you again, he’ll have to go through me first.”
He kisses my forehead, and I lay my head on his shoulder, letting him hold me right where I belong.
Sager puts his hand on my stomach, and I can’t hold back the tears anymore. I cry, and he holds me until I finally pass out from the exhaustion and stress.
