his face sends guilt shooting through me. Even as I move so Batman blocks me, I feel awful about ditching Calder. I suck . Regardless, he’s going to be pissed at me, but at least this way, he won’t hate me completely. Right now he’s annoyed, but if he finds out I lied to him about who I am, he’ll be royally pissed. Where the hell is Talia? I wish I could text her, but one downside of my skimpy costume is there aren’t any pockets for a phone.
    I take a chance and peek around Batman’s bobbing shoulders as he moves to the fast paced song. My heart jerks when I don’t see Calder. Where did he go?
    Then I see his white hat and broad shoulders weaving through the crowd, his expression determined as he surveys the dancing people all around him.
    “I—I suddenly don’t feel so well,” I say to Batman.
    When I start to turn away, Batman clasps my shoulder, then points to my right. “The bathroom is in that direction, along that wall.”
    “Thanks.”
    As I dart away, he calls over the music, “Talk to you later, Celeste.”
    I wince that his voice seems to carry, but quickly duck around half-drunk partiers as I head in the direction of the bathroom and away from Calder.
    I glance back to see if Calder has spotted me, and when I note that he hasn’t I exhale to calm my racing heart. I turn to face forward and run right into Jake.
    “Whoa, hey!” he says, grinning as he clasps my arms. “I’ve been looking for you all night, Celeste.”
    Heat flashes as fear and rage swirls through every nerve ending in my body. Hearing him say Celeste’s name brings the past raging back.
    I’m on my knees, wet grass soaking my jeans. I feel weight on my shoulder and my hands are held behind me. What the hell? Heavy breathing gusts against my neck. Someone is holding me in place.
    Jake tilts my chin up, his gaze glittering with power and smugness. “I’m going to be your god tonight, Celeste. Open your mouth.”
    My mind isn’t my own, because I gasp as I stare up at him.
    He tsks, then tugs down on my chin as he strokes his erection. “A bit more, sexy.”
    Moving his hand to my head, he yanks at my hair. “Kiss me like you’ve always wanted to. This is the only kind of kiss I’ll allow you.”
    I start to shake my head, but he tugs me forward and presses the hard tip of his cock against my lips.
    My jaw flexes and he groans as he slides his cock inside my mouth.
    Looking down at me, he commands, “Suck me off. Worship my dick.”
    His fist tightens in my hair and he moves me up and down his erection. “Ah, that’s it, Celeste. Fuck yes, take me deep.” Lust sparks in his eyes as he stares down at me, his hips jerking. Twisting his hand in my hair, he yanks me forward.
    The guy behind me—one of Jake’s teammates?—was chuckling at first, but now he’s pressing against my back, his breathing heavy along my neck. “Fuck this is hot,” he murmurs as he slides his hand between my legs and cups my crotch through my thin skinny jeans. “Come on, babe. Enjoy this,” he grates in my ear as he begins to run his hand back and forth, rubbing me.
    My mind feels disconnected from what’s happening to me, but my body reacts despite my wishes. I shouldn’t feel any kind of pleasure. This isn’t what I want!
    The guy laughs against my neck. “I feel how wet you are. You gonna come for me, baby? May as well get something out of this too...”
    The smell of alcohol on Jake’s breath and his signature cologne brings me back to the present, and a swift gag reflex rushes forth. As fear and rage swell within me, I swallow back the bitter taste. He’s smiling and flexing his fingers around my arms.
    You’re Celeste, not Cass. You’re Celeste. I feel my chest rising and falling and try to get a grip. He doesn’t know you’re Cass . Be Celeste .
    “Hey Jake.” I shrug free of his hold. “I’ve got to go.”
    When I start to walk past him, my head held high, he laughs and pulls me against his muscular chest. “Come
