"I don't think you want your whole neighbourhood to see what is going inside the car." Ryan purrs in my ear. His eyes glow with an evil glint that sends a shiver down my spine as he sneers, "Or do you?" I panic and look at the source of my fear, where my dad is standing in the balcony and my neighbours not-so-casually staring at the shady black car parked in the street.

Keeping my eyes locked at him, he takes the small bump of my erect nipple in his teeth that pierces through my tee, and slowly bites. A sharp prickly pain surges through my body, and my hips jerk in the air as I gasp loudly. "Ahhh!" Everything feels hot and tingling. Wet and wetter. "Do you like it when people watch?"
