“Okay, Summer, wait. Ouch…

That night, Jason went all out for me.
I was almost completely in succubus mode.
The next day, neither of us could get out of
bed.
After I was full, I slapped Jason on the ass
and got out of bed.
“Oh, and Carter’s still trying to get back with
me,” I said casually.
Jason’s eyes narrowed. “He came to see
you?”
I told Jason about the flowers and the
incident on the way home from school, and
he started thinking.
After a moment, he decided he couldn’t leave
my side.
“I need to be with you all the time so I can
relax.”
Jason was afraid I’d feel trapped, so he said
carefully.
“Carter is actually insane. He’s been in a
psych ward.”
I stared at him in shock. I thought he’d just
said that.

Even if I called the cops, it wouldn’t do much

Being mentally ill was kind of like being
bulletproof, and Carter could just keep doing
what he wanted.
I rested my head against Jason, feeling
annoyed, then excited.
“I can ask my advisor if I can do my senior
project remotely!”

Succubi weren’t exactly known for being
smart. I’d barely managed to get into art
school.
This was my senior year, and there were no
classes.
If I stayed home with Jason, nothing could
happen!
I was proven wrong.
Even though Jason and I were trying to be
careful, Carter still managed to get to me.
He put all his effort into messing with me,
figuring out how to get Jason out of the way
and drugging me.
When I woke up, I was tied up in a familiar
house.
“Summer, you’re finally awake. Do you know
how much I miss you?”
Carter had stubble on his chin, and his eyes
were dark.
He dumped all the little toys he’d brought in a
box onto the bed:
“I’m going to show you that I’m better than
Jason.
وو
Jason and I barely used any of this stuff.
We didn’t need any of it. Jason was enough.
Carter must have been thinking of something
because his breathing got heavier.
He reached out to touch me, and I spat the
cloth that was in my mouth into his face.
