Tryst Six Venom - Penelope Douglas

CLAY

Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut.

Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved.

Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.

That's me. Always in control.

Or so they think.

The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild.

Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice.

My head swimming. My hand up her skirt.

For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine.

LIV

I cross the tracks every day for one reason—to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red.

Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back.

At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her.

I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did.

And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.
