in her hands.
Her agitated face filled with worry and confusion, probably wondering if she was doing the right thing.
This shit really meant a lot to her, and just because I was a selfish fucking bastard, didn’t mean I had to take away the one thing she was so proud of.
Still, she had to get rid of the site to make sure that little piece of shit wouldn’t send the link to the whole goddamn town or hack his way onto the main page.
No matter how proud she was about this, I couldn’t let him expose her at such a young age.
It would ruin her time in college, no matter how much she loved being a cam girl.
Yet…I wasn’t thinking about what could happen if I took this one thing away from her. One thing that made her truly happy.
“Don’t,” I said as she moved the cursor to the words permanently delete page, and she quickly looked up with confusion flashing in her eyes.
“What?”
“Don’t delete it.”
She gave me a strange look and laughed. “Why? Cedric will send the link to everyone.”
“Yeah, and he can do so once you’re out of college. Pause the page.”
She frowned, not sure if she should believe what I was saying. “I don’t understand…you said you don’t want me to ever go back to camming…”
“I didn’t say that, Valley. I said I don’t want you to cam while you’re with me. Pause the page so you don’t lose any of those damn customers, but you have to promise me not to go on it while you’re with me. I don’t fucking care what you do when you decide to leave me for another guy who’s not too old to fuck you, but for as long as you’re mine, no one else can have you.”
She studied me and kept frowning, letting my words sink in until she realized I was not messing with her.
“Are you sure?”
“Hell, pause the fucking page before I change my mind back,” I grumbled, and she quickly clicked on the one option that would let her still get back to what she loved doing when I wasn’t around anymore.
She let out a deep breath and put her laptop aside, then I pulled her onto my lap, cupping her face and brushing back her hair.
“Relax. Your father won’t find out. You’re the only one who can access the page right now,” I assured her, studying her face closely as she kept her eyes on me the whole time.
“And even if, you know you’d fucking own it, Valley. Did you ever care about what others think about you?”
“No,” she muttered with concern still lingering in her eyes.
“Then stop worrying about it. If it comes out, don’t let anyone tell you what you’re doing on the internet is wrong. Hell, they’d probably be jealous knowing you can attract men online who pay you good money. You know how many girls do this shit for free and never get anything out of it? Even some damn porn stars don’t get paid enough.”
She knew damn well that she was confident enough to fire back if anyone ever called her any names for being herself, and I hated seeing her like this.
Defeated and unsure of herself.
“This isn’t you, Valley, and now that there’s no way your site can be seen or looked up by anyone anymore, I want you to push all those thoughts aside and put a smile on your face.”
I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat to then take a deep breath and nod at his words, knowing that he was right about everything.
Shit, Mr. Trapani knew about the page, but that didn’t bother me. So why the fuck would it be an issue if anyone else, even Dad, would’ve found out about it?
Good thing I didn’t have to deal with it anymore. Not right now.
“You’re right. I’m sorry I’m acting weird. Guess I was worried something bad would happen.”
“It won’t. Relax and stop thinking about it. That little fucker’s got nothing on you now. What’s his name?”
“Cedric Cortez,” I replied. “What are you up to?”
“Nothing,” he said, placing his hands on my thighs and caressing my skin with his thumbs. “Have we calmed down a bit?”
I nodded. “Yeah, I’m better,” I told him honestly, though I was still furious about the way Cedric treated me back at school.
Riggs’s eyes moved from mine down to my uniform, taking it in carefully until they stopped at my skirt.
I knew what was coming, but I was all
