Hayleigh had never felt so reckless before.

It was one thing to be having a relationship with her own teacher. It was another to be having wild, crazy sex with him so much.

Everything was supposed to be low-key and in secret, and yet they would meet up every few days in the most dangerous of places. In the span of a few weeks she'd had sex in various places in campus; from his office, a classroom, to even the library. Granted they would get together late at night when nobody else was around, but it was almost foolish to be pushing the envelope so much.

And yet she couldn't stop it.

Something was changing in her. All her life she'd exercised caution and let the voice of reason rule over everything she did. With Rowen, all that seemed to go out the window. He was impulsive, secretive... a moving mass of raw energy to be steered clear from, and yet like a black hole she'd come too close. Now there was no escaping even if she wanted to.

At the rate things were going, it was surprising they hadn't even been caught. Each time they met up, she would make a resolution to slow things down. Having sex was the only thing they did every time they were together, and yet he was impossible to resist. He did things to her body that always left her wanting more. He was a dangerous drug, and her addiction to him was beginning to defy her own common sense.

"Is it me, or are you beginning to see this Ryan dude a little too much?" Tara asked on the nth time she caught her arriving late to their dorm. "I get that you just got your cherry popped and the sex is addicting and all that, but I hope you're being careful."

Hayleigh plopped to her bed. "Of course. I've started taking the pill, actually."

She expected her friend to be impressed, but Tara narrowed her eyes instead. "You two are together, right?"

Hayleigh's eyebrows met. "We're dating, if that's what you're talking about."

"No, I mean you call him your boyfriend, he calls you his girlfriend...?"

Hayleigh opened her mouth, but found herself speechless. Come to think of it, she hadn't really considered that before.

"Well, it's only been two months..."

Tara slowly leaned back and crossed her arms. "Do you even actually like this guy?"

"Of course I do." Why was Tara asking so many questions? She was almost beginning to sense a judgmental vibe from her.

Tara sighed and shook her head. "I'm just worried. I don't want you to get hurt, okay?"

"Yeah," Hayleigh muttered, standing up. "I'm just gonna go out for a walk."

Her ears must've caught Tara saying something, but she had already closed the door behind her and didn't bother looking back.


One final stage.

At this point in the competition, Rowen was now tied with K at first place. K had been the frontrunner blazing through the levels within the first few weeks, but being a poor judge of character had always been his weakness. This term, K ended up picking another needy, emotional girl. Last Rowen heard, K had gotten into another fight with his pet and had been stuck with one final level to clear for weeks.

All this paved the way for Rowen's imminent victory, with Hayleigh becoming the dark horse he never saw coming. The bumbling, doe-eyed virgin was now a wild, brazen hellcat in his bed who easily coaxed his desires like no one else had ever done before. Every few days he was able to clear a new stage with her, and her inhibitions lessened with each encounter.
