The Covenant's Sin
Author's Note WOW! I can't believe I got 20 reviews for my last chapter! I think that's an all time record for me and I'm SOOOOOOO happy about it! Also, I'm sooooo sorry for not updating for so long. I kinda got caught up in my Harry Potter story (under a different pen name) and was writing like made for it. Sorry! But, to reply to some reviews...
Ashers Good Side Please don't be afraid to review. I just wanted to make myself clear and I really appreciated your critiquing.
lost in pale blue Ahahahaha! I can't believe you were reading this at work. Hahahaah! That made my day :P
I got a lot of different "I want more of _" but I think the general consensus is that everyone just wants more smut, regardless of who it's between. Hahaha! But, I'd love to take a vote of whose a fan of who? Caleb, Reid, or Tyler? Personally, I'm a Tyler fan I think. I just love his eyes. I really liked Pogue too, but he's with Kate and I don't really like Kate. But let me know in a review please! Thanks!
Last Chapter "Control's impossible to keep when you're the one I'm with," he told her honestly in little more than a whisper. She kissed him again. "Will you stay the night?" Tyler asked sweetly.
Sarah reluctantly shook her head. "Kate will suspect something," she said unhappily. "I'd love to stay, but I can't."
He nodded understandingly and picked her panties up from the floor, handing them to her with a saucy smile.
"Keep a hold of these," he advised. "You never know who will get a hold of them."
Chapter 10
Upon returning to her room, Sarah was immediately accosted by her seemingly worried roommate.
"Where have you been!" Kate demanded, pulling Sarah into a tight hug.
"What do you mean? I was at Caleb's," Sarah replied, confused.
"No, I mean after Caleb dropped you off," Kate answered, "That was over an hour ago. He's been so worried, and so have I."
"Oh, um, I went for a walk," Sarah stated lamely. "If he was looking for me, why didn't he call me?"
"Well that's why he was calling; you left your cell phone in his car," Kate explained, "He wanted to drop it off, but started to panic when I didn't know where you were."
"Oh, um, could I use your phone to call him back and let him know I'm okay?" Sarah requested.
"Of course," Kate agreed, handing her phone over instantly. "I have to shower anyways, so I'll be back in a few." She picked up her bag and towel and left while Sarah dialled Caleb's number. He picked up on the second ring.
"Did you find her?" he asked instantly.
"Um, hi," Sarah said.
"Oh, it's you. Thank god! Where were you? I was so worried!"
"It was just nice out when you dropped me off so I went for a walk. I didn't think Kate would be home, and I figured I'd kill some time."
"Sarah, you know I don't like it when you go off on your own without telling anyone," Caleb sighed warningly, but considerably more relaxed now that he knew she was alright.
"I know; I'm sorry. I just didn't think about it. It was still light out. I thought it would be okay."
"It's dark now Sarah, I dropped you off," a pause "an hour and a half ago."
"Oh, um..."
Caleb saved her having to conjure up another lie by cutting in. "Look, it's fine. All that matters is you're safe. Just don't do it again okay?"
Sarah nodded, even though he couldn't see her. "Yeah, okay," she agreed.
"Do you need your phone tonight or should I just bring it to school for you tomorrow?" Caleb asked.
Sarah thought for a moment. She didn't think Tyler or Reid would text her anything bad. Neither of them had ever texted her period. "No, it's fine. I'll just get it tomorrow," she answered.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, then. 'Night."
"Yep, 'night."
She pressed the end button and flopped down onto her bed. She had to do something about her fling with Reid and Tyler. It couldn't keep going on like this. Caleb would start to notice too much and it was too risky. She was still thinking about it all when Kate returned, wrapped in a towel, hair wet.
"Hey," Kate greeted. "You get a hold of him?" She started to search through one of her drawers, withdrawing a brush and going to work on her hair.
"Yeah, I'll get my phone from him tomorrow," Sarah answered tiredly. Thinking was exhausting. She saw Kate nod out of the corner of her eye and they fell into silence. Sarah was beginning to think of just going to bed when Kate broke the silence.
"So where were you really?" she inquired. Sarah could have sworn, with those five simple words, she felt her heart rate triple. She remained calm as she turned her head to regard the darker girl. A small smile spread across her lips.
"What do you mean? I went for a walk," she answered evenly. Kate's smile widened.
"Oh, please," she snorted disbelievingly. "You never go for walks. And I would know; I'm your roommate."
There it was again - that annoying thundering in her ears. Oh wait; that was her mind screaming "run away!" and her heart agreeing vehemently. "Well I did today," she insisted.
"You're lying," Kate sang, grabbing a bundle of fabric and crossing to the bathroom, closing the door so only a crack was left. "Why won't you just tell me?" she called from the other room. "It's not like I'm going to tell anyone!"
"There's nothing to tell," Sarah called back. Silence met her and she sighed inwardly. The bathroom door swung open and Kate re-entered dressed in her pyjamas.
"Come on," she wheedled, flopping down on her bed and giving Sarah her best puppy dog eyes.
"Those eyes might work on Pogue, but not on me," Sarah laughed back, sitting up and gathering her things. "Don't worry about it, Kate. Just accept that I went for a walk and we'll all be happier."
Kate huffed, rolling onto her back and grabbing her computer up off her night table. "Fine," she sighed. "But you're telling me eventually."
Sarah made a non-committal noise and slipped into the hallway with her shower stuff before Kate could protest.
The following day after history Caleb returned her phone to her.
"Thanks," she said, accepting the device from him and pocketing it with a tight smile. "Did anyone call or text me while you had it?" she asked, attempting a nonchalant tone of voice.
Caleb shook his head. "I didn't hear it if they did," he assured her and she relaxed considerably, her smile becoming genuine. "Listen," he began again, "I'm sorry about running out on you last night... It's just my mom and I are still trying to get everything in order after my father's death and the meeting was very important or else, trust me, I wouldn't have gone." He gave her a suggestive smile. Sarah blushed.
"It's fine," she reassured him and, on a daring whim added, "I found something else to entertain me."
Caleb chuckled. "I'm glad, but let me make it up to you anyways. Tonight? Dinner?"
"That sounds great," Sarah agreed happily.
Caleb grinned broadly and kissed her forehead. "Great. Seven? I'll pick you up from your dorm?"
Sarah nodded. "I have to run to my next class, though, so I'll see you then?" Caleb nodded and let her go.
She rushed down the hall to her English class, the bell ringing just as she slipped through the door. The room was mostly full, the teacher sorting through his notes at the front of the room. As she'd suspected, Reid was absent from class. He hadn't been at breakfast or in history, either. He was the only one of the boys in the class with her, so she took a seat in the empty back row by herself. She had to admit she was a little relieved he wasn't present.
In the shower the night before she'd thought it over and again vowed to stay away from both boys. What she was doing behind Caleb's back was terrible and she could only imagine how much it would pain him if he found out about her extracurricular activities. She'd managed to abstain for six weeks before; maybe she could manage forever this time, right? Still, she was tense until the teacher stood up before the board and the room fell silent.
"Everyone, get out your copies of Hamlet," he directed. "We'll pick up where we left off last class. Act II Scene II. No, Miss Saunders, reading ahead does not mean you can leave now. I've read this play twelve times and I have somehow managed to stick it out. Ryan, why don't you start us off?"
As Ryan reluctantly began to read aloud Sarah relaxed in her seat and began to follow along silently. After ten minutes however, her mind began to wander to, what else, but Reid and Tyler - the dangerous half of the Sons of Ipswich, at least as far as she was concerned. Her mind was instantly filled with 'if only's. If only Caleb had more time. If only she hadn't slept with them at the dance back in September. If only Caleb wasn't so old fashioned and slow and would actually touch her. If only Reid wasn't so aggressively irresistible. If only Tyler weren't so attractive and attainable. If only they weren't so damn good at distracting her and making her forget she had a boyfriend! All these 'if only's led to her thinking of the ways they'd managed to distract her and how much she'd really enjoyed it... Their hands, their lips, their tongues, and, oh yeah, their - Dammit! Now she was uncomfortably wet and stuck in English class. She reluctantly dragged her mind back to the present and readjusted herself in her seat.
"Fantasizing, Wolverine?"
She jumped and almost screamed aloud at the unexpected voice beside her. Turning horrified eyes to her left, she found Reid sitting next to her smirking that damn smirk of his.
"When did you get here?" she demanded in a whisper.
He only continued to smirk and, without answering her question, laid a hand on her bare thigh below the hem of her skirt.
"Reid, what are you-" she began, but was cut off by him.
"You're breathing a little heavily for something as dull as Shakespeare, Sarah," Reid teased, beginning to rub his fingers gently over Sarah's inner thigh. She felt heat rush to her centre and swallowed thickly, unable to answer him. This wasn't happening. Not here. Not after her decision to quit them. Dammit! "You're a little flushed too, your pupils dilated and every time I move an inch-" he moved his hand an inch higher up her thigh and she clenched her teeth together "-you grind your teeth in the most tantalizing way that makes me know I'm driving you crazy."
"Reid, you can't be doing this," she choked out. "We're in public."
"But doesn't that just make it all the more exciting?" he asked casually, running his hand further up under her skirt, causing her teeth to clench once more.
"Please, Reid," she whispered, barely audible.
He glanced over at her, the wicked smile on his perfect lips. "Please what? Stop? Or continue?" and with that he moved to stroke her through her panties. She ground her teeth together and squeezed her eyes shut to keep herself from groaning aloud.
"Not here," she said.
"Wanna skip third period?" he asked, continuing to stroke her.
She glanced at him reluctantly. "No-" she began to refuse when he slipped a finger past the fabric of her panties and thrust the tip of his finger into her. Her hand crumpled the sheet of paper beneath her fingers with the effort of remaining quiet.
"Feels like you'd like to reconsider," Reid taunted, wiggling his finger and breaking her resolve just as the bell clanged loudly through the fog clouding her mind.
"No, I can't Reid," she stated firmly, drawing away from him, collecting her things in a rush and almost running out of the room, glancing back only once to see Reid stick his finger in his mouth and waggle his eyebrows at her. She blushed an even deeper crimson and rushed ahead, eyes scanning the crowd. Finally catching sight of the dark head of hair she was looking for she ran to him, turning him to face her.
"Hey," Caleb greeted her happily and giving her a hug before finally noticing her agitated state. "You okay?"
"You have a spare period now, right?" she demanded.
"Yeah, are you okay, Sarah?" Caleb insisted. Sarah didn't answer him, just turned and dragged him quickly after her. He followed without protest, though he continued to fire confused questions her way. Finally they reached her destination and she fumbled her room key out of her purse and into the lock on the door.
"Do you feel okay, Sarah?" Caleb asked again as she hauled him through the door and slammed it behind them.
"I feel great," she insisted, dropping her bag and turning to press her lips against his. After a moment he began to respond, hands twining around her waist. After a minute he pulled back and smiled down at her.
"What's all this about?" he asked curiously.
"I just need you," she said, "Now." He laughed. "I'm serious, Caleb," Sarah stated, starting to undo his belt.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," he said, finally understanding the gravity of the situation. He grasped her hands and held them still, his eyes penetrating hers. "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive," she assured him.
They stared at one another for a moment longer before Caleb breathed, "Okay," released her hands, and kissed her hard on the mouth, hands twining in her hair. His enthusiasm surprised Sarah, but she was ecstatic that he seemed to want this as much as she did. She kissed him back with the same enthusiasm as he hoisted her up to wrap her legs around his waist and carried them to her bed.
