300 Days With The Alpha Beta Triplets
IN THE JANITOR'S CLOSET

Bella:

It had been two days since the pact I made with Ryder, but it seemed like forever. He had taken it so seriously that he hadn't even bothered to text me. It was my request, but I felt bad, especially because I had to avoid him all day.

It was football season, and everyone had shifted their attention from other extracurricular activities like fencing to football. Ryder was the captain, making my life worse because I had to listen to a bunch of girls bicker about him daily.

"This season might be the best, and I can't wait to meet hot guys from other schools," Hazel said, excitement filling her voice. She faced me and walked down the hallway backward as she spoke.

"I'm sure it will be great," I replied flatly as we reached my locker.

"Maybe we should focus on something more serious, like our tests," Hazel suggested in a low tone.

As I took out my books, a scent engulfed the entire hallway around me, signaling that Finn and Kai were close, which made me rush over picking my books.

"Hey, Bella," they said, making my heart skip a beat and causing my books to fall to the ground.

They both bent over to pick them up while I tried to steady my breath before shutting my locker. I had tried to ignore them all week, but they found me in two days.

"We haven't seen you since you returned, and we had to check on you," Finn said, handing me my books.

I cleared my throat, looking at my feet.

"Uhm... I've been quite busy with schoolwork. I have extra tests, and they are fast approaching, so..."

"It's fine."

"Yeah, we just wanted to check up, and also to invite you to the football game next week. There will be a friendly match between the chosen players and other team members to prepare for the main event," Kai said, and I nodded with a forced smile. My feet were killing me just from speaking to them, and I wanted to run.

"Great, see you around then," Finn said, and they left, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, Hazel rushed toward me and grabbed my hand roughly.

"We should head to class," she said, tugging so hard that I noticed it was a ploy to distract me.

"You know he is my mate, and I can smell him," I said, yanking my hand away and turning around to see girls flocking around Ryder.

This pricked my heart badly, and all I could think about was separating them. He was mine, and they shouldn't be around him. My thoughts were cut short when Fae stood behind the girls with her stupid fairies, Tonia and Pearl.

"Vanish!" she yelled, and the girls disappeared, leaving her with her fairies and Ryder. To my greatest surprise, she got on her tiptoes, mashing her lips with his, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in like I was non-existent in his world.

She kissed him! That bitch! I gave a low growl, because that was all I could do.

"We should get to class," I said to Hazel, grabbing her hand and quickening my pace down the hallway.

"You know, it's really not that bad. I mean, it's football season, and if it were a fencing show-off, they would flock around the twins too, and..."

The icy stare from my eyes made her keep quiet until we got to class. I sat down, tapping my feet on the ground with my arms crossed over my chest.

A few minutes later, everyone's phone beeped, revealing a blast from the diaries showing Ryder and Fae locking lips.

"Football season, and it looks like our favorite couple is back on track. Where does that leave our little ballerina?"

"Urgh!" I groaned out loud, tossing my phone roughly on the table. Then I turned to Hazel. "They couldn't even spell my name right. It's Bellarina!"

"And who the hell sent a blast from the dusk pack! Everyone needs to get off my dick!"

I knew the diaries were just being disrespectful to spite me, but I couldn't be composed, because it was getting to me, and I wanted it to end. Someone had to put an end to whoever they were.

"Good morning, class," Ms. Francesca's voice cut through the chatter in the class.

Classes began, but I couldn't concentrate. Not because of the diaries, but because the girls in front wouldn't stop chattering and bickering about me. The constant glares made it worse.

"Can any of you tell me what year the great divide between the vampires and the wolves happened?" Ms. Francesca asked, and I put up my hand at once. "Bella, tell us," she said, and I looked at her, confused because I wasn't ready to answer.

"I... I just need to go to the restroom, ma'am, and I do not know the answer."

This was a lie, because who didn't know about Enzo Darkmoore, the great vampire king

who changed the entire Moonfire, but I wasn't in the mood to be smart.

The giggles from the girls intensified, pulling my entire being down, and I left my seat entirely.

"Please, ma'am, I really need to go," I pleaded, and she sighed.

"Very well then, you may go."

I ran off at once, rushing to the restroom, banging the door, and placing my back against it with my heart racing. What had I gotten myself into? I shouldn't have done it.

It was like tasting the forbidden fruit, and I wanted more of it. What if I never get to taste it again, and Ryder was just playing with me?

A lot of questions ran through my mind, but I had no one to answer it.

I rushed to the washbasin and splashed a good amount of water on my face, because I believed I was going crazy. After this, I left the restroom and heading back to class.

As I walked down the hallway, the entire place smelled like Ryder. My heart thumped

as I realized this, and I kept looking around, wondering where he could be. Suddenly, I felt his arms around my waist, and I was pulled into a dark room.

Before I could speak, he attacked my lips with a kiss, and I pushed him away before he could get enough.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked, and then he flicked the switch, making me realize we were in a tiny room filled with boxes, a mop in the corner, and a tiny seat and table in another corner.

The janitor's closet.

"I couldn't keep away. It's been two days, but it seems like forever," he said, and I chuckled with a frown on my face.

"I cannot stay away from you, Bella. Your thoughts haunt me pleasantly, and I cannot shut my eyes for a moment without hearing your cute laughter. I almost gave off a solo laugh in class today."

When he said this, I gave a short laugh.

"There it is. Cute and contagious," he said, and I kept a straight face at once.

"But it wasn't enough to keep away from Fae? You kissed her this morning, and I guess

I'm just the fool for believing you because..."

"It was fake. Fae and I are pretending, and you wouldn't understand, not yet. I promise

to tell you everything," he said, and I raised a brow.

"Please, believe me, Bella. My feelings for Fae are over, and..."

"Probably what you say to her and other people about me. You do not have feelings for me, yet you replace yourself pulling me into a dark room, wanting to have me to yourself in private," I said, and he scrunched his face. "This isn't love, and someone that loves me would treat me exactly the way you treat Fae," I added, and he shook his head.

"Never wish that!" His voice became raised, and I could tell he was getting angry. "I do not love Fae, and..."

"But you used to, or you still do. See, I can't tell if you are lying," I shrugged. "Maybe my body felt too good that you want another go, and..."

"Bella, stop," he said calmly.

"Why? Because you do not want me to state the obvious? You just want me for my body, and..."

"Stop!" He growled, and my mouth went mute as I saw the glow in his eyes.

I swallowed hard, backing up against the door and grabbing the handle.

"Saying all those things only makes me feel worse than I already do, and it's mostly because none of those are true," he began. "I have told you for the past few days that I love you, and I have let you know how beautiful you are. Every little detail about you captivates me. I love you, Bella, and I am not ashamed to say it, and..." he paused. "Even if you do not feel the same and you will never say it back, I love you, and I will say it repeatedly. I don't care if you say it back or not," he said, then he walked over to the table, resting his back on it.

"You can leave, and I will leave later," he said without looking at me.

I stood there for a while, contemplating my next action. I couldn't tell if I loved him, but

I felt something.

"Ryder," I called out, closing the space between us.

As soon as his dark eyes met mine, my mouth hung open with no words flowing out. I shut my eyes, leaned forward, and placed my lips on his. He didn't try to hold me, which felt weird, but I didn't stop. I wrapped my arms around his neck, running my right hand up his hair while my left hand caressed his shoulder.

My lips played with his as I bit gently on his lower lip, then he opened up. I slid my tongue into his mouth, feeling every muscle in my body tense up. His hands went around my waist at once, pulling me away and placing me on the table on my butt. Before I could speak, he attacked my lips with another kiss, running his hands on my thighs and into my skirt. My heart raced as he placed his hand on my panties, causing a gasp to escape my lips as he pulled away from the kiss.

"Ryder, I..." I couldn't complete my sentence as he pushed in two fingers, running his thumb on my clit simultaneously, making me bite my lips.

"What were you saying?" A smirk formed on his lips, and I threw my arms around him, placing my head on his body.

"Fuck you," I muttered under my breath, causing him to chuckle.

"I would love that, but not in school."

My cheeks turned red instantly.

His thumb worked my clit expertly as my hips rocked against his finger. I moaned and

bit my lip as he rubbed faster, trying to quench my thirst while I gripped hard on him with my head buried in his neck. I tried to kiss his neck to distract myself from the pleasure that engulfed my soul, but it barely worked as I felt my entire body tighten, waiting for the ecstatic outburst of pleasure. His hands wouldn't stop, and even when I tried to close my legs, I couldn't because he was sandwiched in between them. "Someone seems to be enjoying herself," he whispered in my ear, causing me to clamp my legs around him tighter.

He slowed a bit.

"Please don't stop, please."

I didn't know where this was coming from, but I found myself begging. I wanted him more, every part of him.

He increased his pace a bit while I continued rocking my waist toward his body. I was close, and my body wanted more, so I grabbed his belt, hurriedly undoing it, allowing me to slide my hand into his pants. I felt it. His dick bulging in his pants. I cupped it in my hand, feeling the pulsating veins along it, which intensified the heat between my

legs.

"Oh shit," he let out a moan, then he grabbed my hand.

"I want you," I groaned, but he didn't stop rubbing my clit until the muscles in my body relaxed, and my legs wobbled around his body as my body jerked for a couple of seconds. I threw my head back, pulling my hand away from his pants. He withdrew his hand, which was covered in my juice.

He placed his hands on the table, with his forehead resting on mine, as I panted

heavily.

"I do not know how much more I can last with this pact. I want you, Bella," he said.
