This is book 3 of Easton Prep Academy for the Gifted, a Dark Romance. It’s part of a four-book series with a different couple in each book (this book contains spoilers for books 1 and 2). You don’t have to read in order, but it is highly recommended to understand some topics discussed.

My male leads are assholes. They’re possessive, arrogant, and far too good at breaking hearts. They’ll cross lines, say the wrong things, and make you question why you’re still rooting for them.

But my female leads? They’re no saints either. They’re just as broken, scarred, and beautifully complicated. They fight back, they fall hard, and they burn just as bright.

Because sometimes, it takes two fractured souls to make something whole.

Welcome to Easton Prep Academy for the Gifted.

Just a reminder that this book is NOT EDITED!!

Enjoy!

Dedicated to my readers since I wouldn't be writing my third book without all of your continued support 🥹💞

Summary

Ayaka Himura was raised inside a bubble. Nine years into remission from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, her mother still treats her like she’s fragile, determined to eliminate even the smallest risk. Because of it, Ayaka feels like her life never truly started. While her best friends fall in love and step boldly into their futures, she’s stuck on the sidelines. This fall semester of her last year in the Gifted Program, she’s done waiting. Done waiting for life to begin. Done waiting to feel wanted. Done waiting for Garreth Whitaker to look at her and see something other than the girl he hates. She wants something reckless. Something hers. She’s going to lose her virginity and finally explore life on her terms. Too bad Garreth Whitaker has other plans. At Easton Prep Academy for the Gifted, he’s turned her life into a quiet war. Rumors. Mockery. Cruelty wrapped in charm. They used to be inseparable as children, until she disappeared at six years old without explanation. Garreth never knew why she left. He only knew she did. And the Horseman of Vanquish doesn’t forgive abandonment. So when he hears whispers that Ayaka Himura is finally stepping off the sidelines… and into someone else’s arms? Something cold and territorial sharpens inside him. If she made him suffer, he’ll make sure she suffers too. Even if it means ruining anyone who gets too close.

NOT EDITED

I watch as my cum paints her face and chest, slow like molasses as it beads on her upper lip.

What stuns me is when her tongue flicks out, licking her lip, tasting me.

And I almost come again, my cock standing at attention like I didn't just come all over her moments ago.

"Christ, you're bloody magical. My perfect slut."

She looks up at me, her brown eyes sparkling at my praise, and I can’t help but reach for her cheek.

I swipe my thumb through more of my cum and drag it to her lips, coating them in my release.

"More," she opens her mouth, waiting.

I push my thumb past her lips. "Suck it."

And she does.

Eyes on mine.

Tongue curling around my thumb.

Eager and perfect.
