Chapter 1
우리 엄마는 혼자서 나를 키우셨어. 어렸을 때부터 아빠를 본 적이 없었고, 엄마는 아빠가 돌아가셨다고 했어. 어린 시절 아버지가 없다는 이유로 또래 아이들은 항상 우리 엄마를 창녀라고 하고, 내가 누군지도 모르는 사람의 잡종이라고 했어. 이 때문에 싸움을 많이 했지. 한번은 다쳐서 집에 돌아왔다가 엄마한테 혼이 났는데, 엄마가 왜 항상 남들과 싸우냐고 물었어. 난 이를 악물고 말했지. "걔들이 엄마를 창녀라고 하고, 나를 잡종이라고 해요!"
우리 엄마는 그때 나한테 따귀를 한 대 때렸어. 그날 밤 나는 몰래 엄마가 방에서 오랫동안 우는 것을 봤어.
다른 사람들은 모두 우리 모자를 무시하고 괴롭혔어. 특히 이웃에 이혼한 아저씨 한 명이 있었는데, 그는 항상 우리 엄마를 쫓아다녔고, 심지어 우리 생활을 심각하게 방해할 정도였어. 결국 어쩔 수 없이 엄마는 나를 데리고 이사했지.
엄마는 나를 데리고 아주 예쁜 아줌마의 집으로 이사했어. 그녀의 이름은 장령이었고, 나는 그녀를 장이모라고 불렀어. 그녀는 엄마의 아주 좋은 친구로, 스물네 살 정도였고, 큰 회사에서 사장님의 비서로 일했어. 아마도 내가 아버지 없이 불쌍하다고 생각했는지, 그녀는 나를 매우 아껴주었고, 자주 선물도 사주었어.
장이모는 정말 나에게 잘해줬어. 이 때문에 오랫동안 나는 그녀에게 의존했지, 특히 어릴 때부터 사랑을 받지 못한 나에게는 더욱 그랬어. 하지만 좋은 시간은 오래가지 않았어. 내가 5학년이 되었을 때, 장이모는 일 때문에 이 도시를 떠났고, 그녀가 떠난 후로는 다시 돌아오지 않았어. 우리도 이사를 했지만, 그녀와 함께 살았던 그 시간은 항상 선명하게 기억해.
중학교에 들어갔을 때, 어린 마음에 설렘이 시작됐어. 어릴 때 장이모에게 마사지해드렸던 기억이 떠올랐고, 드디어 왜 그녀가 그렇게 편안해했는지 이해하게 됐어. 그 후로 나는 완전히 다른 사람이 되었지.
하지만 학교에서 내 인간관계는 특별히 나빴어. 가정 환경 때문에 어릴 때부터 차별과 괴롭힘을 많이 당해서, 나는 과묵해지고 냉혈한 성격이 되었어. 어떤 일에도 무관심했기 때문에 아무도 나와 어울리려 하지 않았고, 여자 친구도 거의 없었지.
고등학교 1학년이 되었을 때, 한 여학생과 짝이 되었어. 그녀의 이름은 소령이었는데, 부러울 만큼 예쁜 외모뿐만 아니라 몸매도 아주 좋았어. 굴곡이 있고, 옷을 잘 입었지. 매일 짧은 치마를 입고 다녔는데 아주 세련되었어. 반에 있는 다른 여자애들과 비교하면 훨씬 뛰어났고, 많은 사람들의 여신이 되었어. 나도 자주 몰래 그녀를 쳐다봤지.
그녀는 성격이 밝고 자랑을 잘했어. 명품을 입고 다녔고, 그 당시 우리 중에 휴대폰을 가진 사람이 몇 없었는데 그녀는 이미 노키아를 쓰고 있었어. 평소에 유행하는 물건을 사면 항상 꺼내서 사람들에게 자랑하곤 했지. 짝이 된 지 오래되자, 그녀가 나를 좋아하지 않는다는 것을 알게 됐어. 내 초라한 옷차림을 싫어했고, 자주 코를 막으며 내 몸에서 땀 냄새가 난다고 했어. 중요한 건, 그녀는 내가 자주 그녀를 훔쳐본다는 것을 알아차렸고, 한번은 화를 내며 말했어. "정말 뻔뻔하네, 평소엔 말이 없어서 성실한 사람인 줄 알았는데, 알고 보니 뻔뻔한 남자였네."
고등학교에 들어온 이후로, 예전처럼 내 가정 배경을 차별하는 사람들이 거의 없었어. 모두가 여러 곳에서 와서 서로를 잘 모르기 때문이었고, 이건 내가 위안을 느끼는 부분이었어. 그래서 소령이 나를 싫어하는 것이 특별히 반감을 일으켰지만, 그녀에게 어떻게 할 용기는 없었어. 그녀는 학교에서 인간관계가 특별히 좋았고, 남학생이든 여학생이든 모두 그녀와 잘 지냈기 때문에, 내가 그녀에게 뭔가를 하면 분명히 많은 사람들이 그녀를 도울 것이었어.
하지만 한번은 결국 참지 못하고 그녀와 싸웠어. 자습 시간에 내 펜이 실수로 바닥에 떨어졌는데, 마침 소령의 발 밑에 떨어졌어. 그녀는 책상에 엎드려 자고 있었고, 잠시 망설인 후 나는 몸을 숙여 주웠어.
그런데 실수로 짧은 치마를 입은 소령의 하얀 다리에 닿았어. 그 순간 그녀는 조건반사적으로 깜짝 놀라 깨어났고, 바닥에 쪼그려 앉아 펜을 줍는 나를 보고 화를 내며 말했어. "왕동, 뭐하는 거야? 왜 그렇게 뻔뻔해!"
나는 놀라서 바로 일어나 자리에 앉았는데, 반 전체가 우리를 보고 있는 것을 알았어. 오해를 살까 봐 설명했지. "소령아, 오해야. 난 그냥 펜을 주웠을 뿐이야!"
소령은 전혀 믿지 않았고, 화가 나서 나를 가리키며 말했어. "정말 뻔뻔하네. 펜을 주우면서 왜 내 다리를 만지는데? 넌 일부러 그런 거잖아. 정말 교양이 없어. 네 아빠가 너를 어떻게 가르친 거야."
그녀가 내 아빠에 대해 말하는 것을 듣자마자 화가 났어. 모두가 예상하지 못한 상황에서, 나는 바로 그녀의 뺨을 한 대 때리고 말했어. "내가 아빠가 없다고!"
소령은 당황했고, 눈물이 순간 흘러내렸어. 그녀는 나를 가리키며 떨면서 말했어. "너 감히 나를 때려? 왕동, 네가 감히 나를 때려?"
나는 그녀를 무시하고, 혐오스럽게 한번 쳐다보고 나갔어. 이번엔 그녀가 분명히 날 가만두지 않을 거라는 걸 알았어. 역시나, 화장실에 다녀와서 돌아오니 교실에 다른 반 학생들이 있었고, 적대적으로 나를 쳐다보고 있었어. 이 사람들은 소령이 불러온 거였어. 앞서 말했듯이 그녀는 학교에서 인간관계가 좋아서 이런 불량학생들도 다 알고 있었어. 내가 들어가자마자 귀걸이를 한 녀석이 바로 사람들을 데리고 와서 나를 때리고, 나를 바닥에 밟고 세게 따귀를 때리며 말했어. "네가 감히 여자까지 때려? 내가 널 폐인으로 만들어 주겠어."
결국 소령까지 와서 나를 여러 번 발로 찼어. 내가 뭐라고, 태어나서 지금까지 아무도 감히 그녀를 때린 적이 없다고 했어. 반 친구들이 모두 보고 있었고, 여자한테 이렇게 괴롭힘을 당하니 굴욕적이었어. 비록 내가 대단한 사람은 아니지만, 나도 자존심이 있어. 그 순간 나는 아주 불만스럽게 결심했어. 그녀에게 복수하겠다고.
소령과 싸움에서 내가 이길 수 없다는 것을 잘 알았어. 그녀는 그렇게 많은 사람들을 알고 있고, 나는 친구 하나 없었으니까. 그래서 나는 다른 방식으로 그녀에게 복수해야 했어. 방법은 이미 생각해 뒀는데, 아주 뻔뻔한 방법이었지만, 소령이 그 더러운 것들을 마시는 모습을 상상하니 일종의 쾌감이 느껴졌어.
기회는 금방 왔어. 오후에 우리는 체육 수업이 있었고, 자유 활동 시간에 나는 몰래 교실로 돌아갔어. 텅 빈 교실에 아무도 없었고, 소령의 자리에 가보니 그녀가 아침에 산 아이스티가 가방에 있었어. 나는 콧방귀를 뀌며 생각했어. 네가 감히 잘난 척하냐, 내가 너에게 영양가 최고의 보물을 맛보게 해줄게, 이게 널 위한 거야.
아이스티를 들고 화장실로 가서 나쁜 짓을 하려던 찰나, 갑자기 가방 안의 한 상자가 눈에 띄었어. 그 상자의 세 글자에 시선이 사로잡혔어. 피임약!
나는 순간 멍해졌어. 젠장, 소령이 이런 약을 먹을 줄이야, 그래서 그렇게 방탕한 거구나. 분명히 자주 남자들과 놀아나는 거야. 소령이 자주 남자들과 놀 수 있다면, 나도 그녀와 한번 놀아볼 수 있으면 좋겠다고 생각했어. 결국 소령은 외모가 좋으니까, 비록 내가 그녀를 미워해도, 그녀를 그렇게 많이 훔쳐봤는데 아무 생각 없다고 하면 거짓말이지. 갑자기 또 다른 생각이 떠올랐고, 나도 모르게 음흉하게 웃었어. 소령에게 작은 보물을 마시게 하려던 생각을 바꿨어. 그녀에게 그런 호의를 베풀 필요가 없지. 그 피임약을 들고 나왔어. 이건 약점이 될 수 있어.
체육 수업이 끝나고, 학생들이 모두 돌아왔어. 소령은 내 옆에 앉아 휴대폰을 하고 있었고, 나를 쳐다보지도 않았어. 마치 내가 존재하지 않는 것처럼. 나는 냉소를 지으며 갑자기 그녀를 살짝 밀었어.
"뭐야?" 소령이 화를 내며 큰 소리로 외쳤어. 분노에 찬 눈으로 나를 쳐다보며, 반 친구들도 우리를 봤어. 소란이 커질까 봐 나는 말을 하지 않았고, 다른 사람들의 관심이 우리에게서 벗어난 후에야 소령을 바라봤어. 이제 내 손에 그녀의 약점이 있으니, 그녀에 대한 걱정은 없었어.
"너 진짜 병신이야? 다시 나한테 손대면 가만 안 둘 거야. 자기가 얼마나 더러운지도 모르나 봐." 소령이 나를 경고하고 계속 휴대폰을 했어.
이 말을 들으니 그녀가 나를 얼마나 싫어하는지 알 수 있었어. 나도 더 이상 말할 필요가 없었고, 그녀에게 말했어. "네 가방에서 뭔가 없어진 거 없어?"

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.

I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
