this beauty has a fairytale to create.” Arkadia closed the laptop to the sounds of, “Good luck.” And, “Stay safe.” From the girls as she grabbed her clutch and headed for the door.
    Arkadia opened the door as Sebastian was about to knock, surprising him. He took a step backward and Arkadia quickly closed the door behind her, trying to avoid any interaction between him and Eloise. Eloise’s words entered her mind, and she was once again reminded nothing was private anymore. “I hope you have a lovely night, Arkadia. Be home before 10 p.m., and remember the rules.” Arkadia grabbed Sebastian’s hand and made a fast escape, mumbling to herself about the intrusion caused by freaking mind readers.
    Sebastian opened the car door. “Chivalry isn’t dead after all,” Arkadia said and smiled as she lowered herself into his sleek red sports car. It was obviously one of his daddy’s toys, but still, who was she not to enjoy a ride in a car Vi would probably call ‘sex on wheels’. Sebastian rushed around the back, slid into the driver’s seat, placed his hand on the gear stick and grinned at her. “Do you like driving stick?” A little vomit entered Arkadia’s mouth at his sexual suggestion.
    “Nothing like setting the tone of the evening, Sebastian, just drive before I change my mind.” She did up her seatbelt, sat back in the seat, and questioned her own judgment in agreeing to this in the first place.
    It was obvious that Sebastian’s daddy hadn’t given him the credit card when dinner and a movie turned into a hotdog at the drive-in theater. Still better than being at home, Arkadia thought as she relaxed her chair back and munched on the hotdog when out of the corner of her eye she spied Sebastian doing the yawn and stretch move. “OMG Sebastian! You just did not yawn and stretch so you could put your arm around me, did you?” She looked over at Sebastian with accusation full in her eyes. Sebastian quickly shuffled his arms back down to grab his soda and start drinking. He motioned that he couldn’t answer because his mouth was full. “Yeah, good idea, Seb, keep your mouth full; try that kind of stuff with me again, and I’ll fill your mouth permanently,” Arkadia humphed. Sebastian’s eyes went wide with dirty thoughts of all the things he wanted in his mouth. Arkadia didn’t need to be a mind reader for this, he was very easy to read, and after all, he was a seventeen-year-old boy only thinking with one of his two heads. “Sebastian, let’s get something really clear. I am not interested in being your next conquest, nor am I some paid entertainment for you. Believe me when I say I am far more than you could ever dream of being able to handle.”
    Apparently, this statement must have been translated into some weird ass interpretation of, ‘Oh yes, Seb, I want you bad’ because the next thing Arkadia knew, Sebastian launched himself over the middle of the car. One of his hands found her breast, his lips suctioned onto her neck, and his other hand traveled from her knee to the north quickly. “SEBASTIAN, GET OFF ME! YOU FREAK!!!” Arkadia screamed at him, her hands trying to prevent his hands going any further into uninvited territory.
    “Hhhmmmm, baby, you’re so sexy,” Sebastian slurped into her ear as he continued groping Arkadia. The energy in the car amped up fast as Arkadia became angrier. If Seb had paid more attention, he would have seen her eyes glowing with rage, but he continued on his path and brought his leg over to straddle Arkadia on the seat. Perfect, Arkadia thought, as she took a deep breath and launched her knee as hard as she could upward. By the sudden exhale of oxygen accompanied by the pained grunt, she knew she had hit him really hard where he was thinking. She gave him a shove off of her, and he fell back into his chair unable to take anything more than a little sip of air at a time.
    “I am sorry, Sebastian, but you were uninvited, and I am far from being
