Chapter 1

Ayleens Perspektive

Mein Herz pochte, als ich vor meinem neuen College stand und mein Spiegelbild im Glas des hohen Gebäudes betrachtete. Mein kurzes, geblümtes Kleid wehte leicht im Wind, ein scharfer Kontrast zur imposanten Stadtkulisse hinter mir. Das war es – ein Neuanfang. Ein neues Kapitel.

Warum nagte dann immer noch der Zweifel an mir?

Das Zuhause zu verlassen war die schwerste Entscheidung meines Lebens gewesen. Meine Familie unterstützte weder meinen Umzug nach New York noch meine Karrierepläne in der Musik. Aber hier stand ich nun, am Eingang einer Zukunft, die ich mir hart erkämpft hatte. Die Aufregung sollte die Angst überwiegen, doch meine Finger zitterten, als ich den Riemen meiner Tasche zurechtrückte.

Ich warf einen Blick auf meine Uhr, mein blasses Handgelenk hob sich deutlich vom dunklen Lederband ab. Serena war zu spät. An unserem ersten Tag.

War ja klar.

Als sie endlich ankam, verlor sie keine Zeit, mein Outfit zu kommentieren.

„Tut mir leid, dass ich zu spät bin – Moment, was hast du da an?“ Ihre Augen musterten mich, das Urteil war in ihrer Stimme klar zu hören. „Hast du das von deiner kleinen Schwester geklaut? Du siehst aus wie ein Kind.“

Ich seufzte, bereits an ihre direkten Bemerkungen gewöhnt. „Schön, dich auch zu sehen, Serena.“

„Ernsthaft, Ayleen, es ist unser erster Tag am College, kein Kirchenpicknick“, fuhr sie fort und deutete auf ihr eigenes enges Crop-Top und die zerrissenen Jeans.

Ich rollte mit den Augen. „Entschuldigung, dass ich nicht mitbekommen habe, dass ich mich kleiden soll, als würde ich für ein Musikvideo vorsprechen.“

Sie grinste, ließ es aber dabei bewenden und hakte sich bei mir ein, als wir uns durch den überfüllten Flur drängten.

Im Klassenzimmer angekommen, versuchte ich instinktiv, uns nach hinten zu steuern, aber Serena hatte andere Pläne. Sie stolzierte in die mittlere Reihe und zog Blicke der Studenten auf sich, als sie ihre roten Locken über die Schulter warf.

Wir waren in jeder Hinsicht Gegensätze. Während mein welliges schwarzes Haar sanft über meinen Rücken fiel, umrahmten Serenas wilde Locken ihre scharfen braunen Augen. Sie genoss die Aufmerksamkeit, und ich tat mein Bestes, sie zu vermeiden.

Kaum hatten wir uns gesetzt, beugte sie sich zu mir. „Hast du schon einen Job gefunden?“

Ich atmete aus. „Nein.“

„Ayleen.“ Ihr Ton änderte sich, Panik schlich sich ein. „Wenn du bis Ende der Woche nichts findest, sind wir geliefert. Du weißt, dass meine Eltern mir auch nichts schicken. Wir werden keine andere Wahl haben, als nach Utah zurückzukehren.“

„Ich weiß“, murmelte ich, während sich die Angst in meinem Magen drehte. „Ich werde schon etwas finden, okay? Gib mir einfach etwas Zeit.“

Der Professor betrat den Raum und brachte ihn zum Schweigen, als er sich vorstellte und erklärte, wie das private Tutorensystem funktionierte. Jeder Student würde einem Lehrer basierend auf seinem Instrument zugewiesen. Ich spielte Klavier. Serena spielte Geige. Wir würden einige Kurse teilen, aber unsere Tutoren wären unterschiedlich.

„Du hast Professor Marcelo, richtig?“ fragte sie und warf einen Blick auf meinen Stundenplan.

Ich nickte. „Ja. Anscheinend ist er sehr streng.“

„Du schaffst das. Du bist die disziplinierteste Person, die ich kenne“, sagte sie und grinste. „Im Gegensatz zu mir.“

Ich schnaubte. Wenigstens hatte sie Selbstbewusstsein.

„Weißt du was? Du brauchst eine Pause“, erklärte sie. „Mein Cousin spielt heute Abend in einer Bar. Lass uns ihn anschauen.“

Ich warf ihr einen vielsagenden Blick zu. „Hast du schon vergessen, worüber wir gesprochen haben? Ich brauche einen Job.“

„Ja, aber die ganze Nacht zu stressen wird auch keinen Job herbeizaubern. Komm schon! Es wird Spaß machen. Und ich verspreche, wenn du mitkommst, helfe ich dir morgen bei der Jobsuche.“

Ich zögerte und kaute auf meiner Lippe. Ich sollte die Nacht mit der Jobsuche verbringen. Aber tief im Inneren wusste ich, dass sie recht hatte. Wenn ich New York verlassen müsste, würde ich es bereuen, nicht wenigstens eine Nacht genossen zu haben.

„...Okay“, gab ich nach. „Aber du musst mir morgen wirklich helfen.“

Nach dem Unterricht gingen wir zurück in unsere Wohnung, wo ich Stunden damit verbrachte, durch Stellenanzeigen zu scrollen. Nichts. Pianisten waren nicht gerade gefragt, zumindest nicht für bezahlte Auftritte.

Ein Klopfen unterbrach meine Frustration.

Serena steckte den Kopf herein. „Du bist immer noch nicht fertig?“

„Ich habe nach einem Job gesucht“, murmelte ich.

„Irgendein Glück?“

Ich schüttelte den Kopf. „Niemand stellt Pianisten ein.“

Sie verdrehte die Augen. „Dann hör auf, nach Pianistenjobs zu suchen. Versuch etwas anderes.“

Der Gedanke machte mich unruhig, aber ich wollte nicht streiten.

„Lass uns einfach gehen“, sagte ich und klappte meinen Laptop zu.

Serenas Blick wanderte zu meinem Kleid. „Du trägst das?“

„Was ist damit?“

„Es ist das gleiche Kleid wie heute Morgen.“

„Na und?“

Sie seufzte dramatisch. „Du bist unmöglich. Egal, lass uns gehen.“

Die Bar war voll, als wir ankamen. Die Luft roch nach Bier und Schweiß, die Musik dröhnte im Hintergrund. Serena führte den Weg, schlängelte sich durch die Menge, bis wir George in der Nähe der Bühne entdeckten. Seine roten Locken waren noch unordentlicher als die von Serena.

„Ich bin so froh, dass ihr gekommen seid!“ sagte er und zog sie in eine Umarmung.

„Ich dachte, ich sollte wenigstens eine Nacht ausgehen, bevor ich zurück nach Utah geschickt werde“, murmelte ich.

Bevor George antworten konnte, erschien ein Typ mit dunklen Locken und einem besorgten Gesichtsausdruck.

„George, wir haben ein Problem“, sagte er.

„Was jetzt, Marcus?“

„Steven ist wieder nicht aufgetaucht. Und wir treten in fünfzehn Minuten auf.“

George stöhnte. „Wenn wir nochmal absagen, sind wir erledigt. Du hast geschworen, dass er hier sein würde.“

„Ich dachte, er würde hier sein! Er ist ein großartiger Pianist, aber er lässt uns ständig hängen.“

Serena wurde plötzlich hellhörig. „Meine Freundin Ayleen spielt Klavier.“

Mein Magen sank. Nein. Auf keinen Fall.

Alle Augen richteten sich auf mich.

Marcus runzelte die Stirn. „Bist du überhaupt alt genug, um in dieser Bar zu sein?“

„Bin ich“, sagte ich leicht beleidigt.

„Kannst du überhaupt spielen?“ fragte George skeptisch.

„Sie studiert an der besten Musikhochschule der Stadt“, mischte sich Serena ein. „Vertrau mir, sie ist unglaublich.“

George und Marcus tauschten einen Blick, bevor Marcus seufzte. „Wir haben keine Wahl. Entweder sie oder gar kein Pianist.“

„Kein Druck“, murmelte ich.

George reichte mir ein Notenblatt. „Kannst du das spielen?“

Ich überflog die Noten. Ihr Stil war eher Punkrock als das, was ich gewohnt war, aber ich konnte damit umgehen.

„Ja, kein Problem“, sagte ich.

„Wir sind in fünf Minuten auf der Bühne. Du kannst dieses Keyboard benutzen.“ Marcus deutete darauf.

Serena quietschte fast vor Freude. „Siehst du? Ich habe dir gesagt, dass es eine gute Idee war, auszugehen!“

„Das ist kein Job“, erinnerte ich sie.

„Noch nicht“, schmunzelte sie. „Beeindrucke sie, und sie werden Steven ersetzen.“

Ich spielte nervös an meinem Kleid herum. „Und wenn ich sie nicht beeindrucke?“

Serena warf mir einen vielsagenden Blick zu. „Das tust du immer.“

Während sich die Band vorbereitete, warf ich einen Blick auf George und Marcus und bemerkte ihre Nähe. „Sind sie ein Paar?“ fragte ich neugierig.

Serena sah entsetzt aus. „Was?! Nein! Mein Cousin ist nicht schwul.“

„Okay, aber warum bist du so defensiv?“ hob ich eine Augenbraue.

Sie verschränkte die Arme. „Wir kommen aus einer konservativen Familie, das weißt du.“

„Aber wenn er schwul wäre, wärst du damit einverstanden... oder?“

Serena zögerte. „Ich... denke schon“, murmelte sie.

Bevor ich weiter nachhaken konnte, flackerten die Bühnenlichter auf.

Ich holte tief Luft, ging nach vorne und setzte mich vor das Keyboard. Meine Finger strichen über die kühlen Tasten in einem vertrauten Ritual, um das Instrument zu erspüren.

Ein seltsamer Schauer lief mir den Rücken hinunter.

Ich überflog die Menge. Noch achtete niemand auf mich, alle waren in ihre Getränke und Gespräche vertieft.

Ich atmete aus.

Fokus.

Das war es.

Ein Lied, um zu beweisen, dass ich hierhergehöre – oder alles zu verlieren.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.
Oh, goddess!
