Tormented Kings (Boys Of Kingston Academy #2)

Chapter 16

Declan

Tonight has been one of the best nights of my life. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed and smiled so much. To just leave the real world behind and spend a night with my friends is something I didn’t know I needed.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find my attention drifting towards Preston when Sadie is busy with Grayson or one of the girls.

It’s like I can’t keep my eyes off him. He looks so out of place, a silent bystander. He’s been watching Sadie with this look of longing for the whole night. It hurts to watch.

It’s equal parts jealousy, confusion, and wanting Preston to just be happy. Even if it’s not with me.

He’s been staying at my dorm the past few nights, and it’s been pure torture. To have him so close, laying beside me every night, making my bed sheets smell like him, it hurts.

But I don’t have it in me to tell him no, to tell him to leave, because I crave the smallest things from him. It’s pathetic.

“Hey,” I say, falling in step next to him as we move with the line. Sadie is laughing with her friends, Grayson holding onto her from behind. They look like a couple. I know Sadie is loving every moment of it.

It's been hard on her, keeping our relationship to ourselves. She deserves to be shown off. Not treated like a dirty little secret.

“Hey.”

“Having fun?”

“It’s not too bad.” He shrugs.

“If you're not having fun, why did you come?” I ask genuinely.

“I didn’t say I wasn’t having fun.” He frowns. “And I came because all of you were coming.”

I grin. “Feeling a bit of FOMO?”

“No,” he grumbles. “Okay, maybe a little bit. Since you started dating Sadie, I only see you two at the Host Club. And even then, you're with clients.”

“Awww.” I chuckle. “Preston, you really do like us,” I tease. “And here I thought you only put up with us because of the Host Club.”

“No.” He frowns. “Well... maybe Grayson, but not you.”

My heart races a little faster, and I have to look away from the mixed signals flaring in his eyes. “You're part of this group,” I tell him. “Just because we’re dating Sadie doesn’t mean we’re pushing you away. You're stuck with us, so get over it.” I smile.

A small grin twitches on his lip. “Fine. If I have to.”

“Declan!” Sadie gets my attention. I look over at my beautiful girlfriend, who’s smiling at me, her hand held out. “Come with me. I’m going to need a big, strong man to protect me.”

“Hey, what about me?” Grayson frowns, looking down at Sadie.

“You’ve done a good job protecting me so far, but I want to see how Declan does,” she laughs.

I shake my head with a chuckle and move over to take her hand, letting her pull me to her front so that she’s trapped between the two of us. My gaze flicks over to Preston, finding him frowning before he looks away.

If I could have my dream, it would be the three of us together. I swear I see something there, a spark between us. Or maybe it’s just me wanting something so bad that my mind is playing tricks on me.

We get to the front and are asked to get into a single file line. I move to get in front of Sadie, but she slips in front of me.

I raise a brow at her, pushing my glasses up my nose. “How am I supposed to protect you if you're in front of me?”

“We both know I don’t need protection. I just wanted you close. If anything, I’ll be the one protecting you.” She grins, and damn it, she’s stunning.

This girl is mine. All mine. I’m one lucky man.

“Well, thank you, Sweetheart,” I say in a surprisingly good southern accent. “I sure do appreciate it.”

She giggles, and it’s music to my ears.

“Guys, I don’t know about this one. Reviews online say it’s supposed to be the scariest one of all,” Alice says with fear in her tone.

“Perfect. Then maybe it’s the one that gets Sadie to at least scream,” Emma mutters as if she’s frustrated with my girlfriend for not getting scared. This is the tenth house we’ve been to, and the only thing Sadie has done is jump once and then burst into laughter.

Her friends were right; Sadie was walking through those houses like it was no big deal, a large smile on her face while waving to all the cast members. It had us laughing while her friends screamed over every little jump scare.

“Wanna make a bet?” I ask, feeling a little playful.

“What kind of bet?”

“If you get scared, scream, or jump in this house, I win.”

She laughs. “Win what? How is that fair?”

“Just go with it, Sweetheart,” I challenge. “What do you say?”

“So if I get scared, you win something?”

“Yup.” I nod. “Prize of my choosing.”

“Okay then.” She shrugs. “Don’t be mad when you’re disappointed.”

She turns around, and I grin as we walk into the house.

We’re cloaked in darkness, the sounds of the attraction ringing out around us. People in front and behind us start screaming as things start to pop out.

Sadie, like always, does nothing, laughing when her friends shriek.

These houses are a quick walk through. Since Sadie said the only reason she isn’t scared is because she’s expecting it, I’m going to have to distract her if I’m going to scare her.

Grabbing Sadie around the waist, I yank her back against me, grinning when she gasps in surprise.

“It’s only me, Sweetheart.” I chuckle, holding her hips as we walk forward.

“What are you doing?” she asks.

“Keeping you safe, of course,” I murmur, bringing my lips down to her neck.

“I–I don’t need protecting. I’m fine.” Only her words come out a little breathy as I kiss just below her ear.

“I know you don’t. You can handle yourself, isn’t that right?” I murmur, loving the way she shivers in my hold.

I brush my thumbs against her hips.

Someone pops out, scaring her friends. Sadie doesn’t scream, but she does jump.

“You're cheating,” she breathes out as I continue to kiss her neck, keeping my eyes open to watch where we’re going.

“I have no idea what you're talking about,” I chuckle. “I’m just following you, Sweetheart.”

“Mhhmm,” she hums.

“You know, tonight has been fun,” I tell her. “Thank you for inviting me.”

“Of course.”

“But I think I’d like to end this night with just the two of us. What do you think? Would you want to come back to my dorm room? I haven’t had the chance to get my hands on you in days. I’ve been touching myself to the memory of being inside you while Grayson fucked this tight little ass.” I reach around, grabbing her ass.

She stumbles a bit, jumping back into me when another person pops out. Looks like this is working after all.

Bringing my hand up to grasp her breast, I give it a firm squeeze. She whimpers, and I grin against her shoulder, feeling her heart beating fast under my touch. I slowly scrape my teeth against the top of her shoulder, making her moan. My cock goes painfully hard, eager to be inside her. I might like to be told what to do in the bedroom, but moments like this, having power over my girl, are intoxicating.

Her breaths come in short pants, and I know I’ve got her how I need her when she trips over her feet yet again.

“Declan,” she gasps out when I grip her hip, grinding my cock against her ass.

“Yes, Sweetheart?” I purr.

We’re almost done, I can see the exit in front of us. I’m slightly disappointed that I couldn’t get her to break. But just as we’re about to leave, someone with a mangled face pops out and yells in Sadie’s face.

She screams, loudly, jumping back so quickly she almost knocks us to the ground.

“Fucking hell!” she shouts, swinging her gaze to me with wild eyes as we stumble our way out.

I’m laughing, I can’t help it. She was so close to making it out.

“You, Declan Harris, are one dirty player.”

The thrill and adrenaline of the moment pumps through my veins, mixing with the need to be inside her, to feel her wrapped around my cock.

“I won!” I cheer, walking her backwards, away from our group and the other guests exiting.

“What do you want for your prize?” her words come out unevenly.

For a girl who’s been proven wrong about never getting scared in one of these haunted houses, she doesn’t seem to mind.

“You, of course.” I lick my lips, grabbing her hand and pulling her deeper into the dark.

I quickly pull my phone out and send a text to Grayson to keep watch for us as I walk her around the corner of a building. As I slip my phone into my pocket, Sadie starts to speak, but I push her against the wall and kiss her roughly.

She moans, kissing me back with just as much eagerness. “Fuck, Declan,” she pants against my lips. “I need you. Please. Be a good boy and fuck me.”

I groan, grinding my cock against her belly. “Yes, Mistress.” I’ve never felt so needy for another person than when I’m with her. Just a look from her winds me up; her touch has me falling apart, but the way I feel when I’m inside her utterly destroys me in the best way possible.

With frantic hands, I pull her dress up over her hips, pulling her panties to the side as she makes quick work of my pants, freeing my cock.

“Declan,” she moans. “I need you inside me now.”

“I’m trying, Sweetheart.” I groan when my cock is free, my pants falling down around my ankles. I don’t even care if my ass is on display right now. Nothing matters but having her. Her hand wraps around my length to give it a few good strokes before I’m lifting one of her legs. I crouch down enough so I can position my cock at her entrance.

There’s a moment where we pause, staring into each other’s souls, labored breaths, lips parted. “I love you,” she whispers, voice cracking and that does it.

Something inside me snaps into place at her words, and my hips dive forward.

We both groan as I fill her up in one rough stroke. “Fuck,” I pant out. “Fuck, Sweetheart, I love you too.”

She groans as I crash my lips to hers.

My thrusts are choppy and frenzied as I pump into her with wild need. I swallow her moans with every stroke of my lips.

She grabs handfuls of my hair, tugging and pulling, making my balls throb and my cock grow even harder. “That's it, baby,” she moans. “Fuck me, Declan. Be a good boy and make me cum.”

“Oh god,” I grunt, putting my face in the crook of her neck. So many sounds and sensations fill me at once. The feeling of her cunt gripping my cock, so wet and tight.

“So good,” she whimpers. “Fuck, yes, Declan. Just like that.”

One hand holds her leg up while the other holds her hip to keep her in place as my thrusts become faster. I’m so close already. She drives me fucking wild.

She slips her hand between us to play with her clit, gasping when she makes contact, her pussy contracting around my cock.

“I’m not gonna last much longer,” I admit, cheeks heating.

“It’s okay,” she pants out. “I’m almost there, fuck, so close.”

I feel my balls draw up, and I curse, knowing I’m about to fuck this all up and cum before her.

“Declan, Sadie, are you—” Preston’s voice has both of our eyes widening, heads snapping in his direction.

He stands there watching in shock. It’s too late, I was already on the verge of cumming before he showed up, and there's no stopping it.

“Preston,” I moan his name as pleasure ripples through my body, cock pulsing inside Sadie as I fill her up with my cum. Sadie whimpers, eyes still on Preston as she follows me over the edge.

Fuck. Oh fuck. I did not just call out his name as I came inside my girlfriend. Shit, shit, shit.

Preston’s eyes narrow, jaw clenching before he turns around and disappears.

“Preston!” I call out, my voice breathing along with my damn heart as he walks away.

“Hey,” Sadie says, still panting. “Declan, baby, look at me.”

My frantic eyes dart over to her, chest heaving as panic washes away all my good feelings. “What do I do?” I ask, voice cracking.

“Breathe. It’s okay.”

“No, it’s not, Sadie.” I shake my head. “I just ruined everything.”

“No, you didn’t.” She shakes her head. “Shhh, hey, breathe.”

She cups my face, encouraging me to take a breath as she breathes in. “That's it. In and out.”

My heart still races, but I feel a little bit better.

Realizing I’m still inside Sadie, I pull out and lower her leg. She fixes her panties as I tuck myself away.

“I can’t believe I just did that. I’m so sorry,” I say, running my hands through my hair, grabbing at the strands as I start to pull.

“You have nothing to be sorry about.”

I stop and turn to her. “I just called out his name as I came inside you,” I say in disbelief.

“It might have been the wrong time, wrong place, but I’m not mad about it. Honestly, it’s something I’d find hot, you know, if it was the three of us.” She blushes so deeply that I stare at her in shock.

“What? Really?”

“Declan, I know you like Preston. I know you have strong feelings for him. And I’m not mad about it. I promise.”

“You're not?” My brows furrow. I mean, I know she mentioned the three of us being together before, but I thought that was more of a sexual adventure than anything.

“I’m in love with three guys, falling hard for a fourth. I don’t think I have the right to demand your full attention, do I?”

“Yes, you do. Sadie, I love you. I can’t lose you.”

“Who said anything about losing me?” She smiles, pulling me close. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“He’s going to hate me,” I mumble, raw emotion eating me up from the inside out. He’s not going to want to sleep over anymore. I just fucked everything up.

“No, he’s not going to hate you.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do,” she says, so sure of herself. “Come on.” She brushes some sweaty hair out of my face. “Let’s go get you some water. I need to clean up. I promise, everything will be okay.”

“I don’t deserve you,” I whisper, putting my forehead to hers.

“It’s me who doesn’t deserve you. But I'm so damn happy I have you.” This woman... she’s perfect for me. Everything I could ever want. Even if part of my heart will always be open for Preston. I could survive without him if I had to, but I’m not sure if I could do that with Sadie. Maybe that's wrong of me, but I’m already in too deep.
