Chapter 12: The Drive Home – Keeping the Secret Alive

The passenger door of Jake’s car clicks shut behind me and the cool leather seat presses against the backs of my bare thighs like a fresh reminder of everything I’ve been hiding. Sunlight floods the interior now, bright and merciless, turning the four-hour ride back to our apartment into one long, unrelenting exposure. Jake slides behind the wheel, still humming the last song from the playlist I made for the party, his hand dropping casually onto my knee as if this is just another normal Sunday drive. He has no idea that the thin fabric of my skirt is the only thing between his palm and the warm, sticky evidence still seeping out of me.

I cross my legs tight, trying to trap the slow leak, but the pressure only sends a fresh pulse through my swollen folds. Every tiny bump in the road makes more of Alex’s release slide down my inner thighs, painting slick trails that catch the sunlight and make my breath hitch. The air-conditioning blows across my chest, cooling the faint damp patches on my crop top where his hands had been earlier, and my nipples tighten against the thin material in response. I keep my eyes on the side mirror instead of my fiancé. Alex’s car is right behind us, following close enough that I catch his stare through the windshield—dark, steady, full of everything we just did in the garage before Jake called out.

Jake turns the radio up a notch, chatting about how the night was “legendary” and how lucky he feels to be marrying me. His voice is warm, easy, the same tone he uses when he talks about our future. I smile back, nodding, but my phone buzzes silently in my lap. Alex. A short video clip first—audio only, the muffled sound of my own choked gasps and the wet rhythm of skin meeting skin from the hallway alcove at 3 a.m. Then the text: Spread your legs. Let me see how much of me is still inside you.

My pulse jumps. Jake is still talking, oblivious. I shift lower in the seat, letting my knees fall apart just enough that the skirt rides higher. The camera on my phone catches the dark, glistening patch on my bare skin and the slow trickle escaping where my thong should be. I hit send. His reply comes fast: a voice note I slip one earbud in to hear. His voice is low, gravel-rough. “Good girl. Touch yourself. Slowly. I want you dripping onto his seat by the time we get home.”
