Harmony is bored and unhappy. Her parents had moved her from Michigan to California just before the end of the school year. In her senior year! It was certainly a nice house with a nice pool in a nice neighborhood. But she didn’t know anyone! And now that the summer was here, she had nothing to do! And then while jogging one evening, a handsome black man starts jogging behind her. Then in front of her, then away from her. She’d been a bit scared at first, but after that, she had completed her run with dark fantasies rolling through her head. She’d run home, stripped to her bathing suit, and jumped into the pool, only to find him waiting for her when she got out. He hadn’t done anything but kiss her, but even as she had yelled angrily at his departing figure she’d felt a strange sense of dangerous excitement, of edgy heat. She’d sought him out, looking for some summer fun before she left for college. But Malik was a lot older than her, and into kinky games. Harmony was a relative innocent at sex, but eager to learn. Malik made her burn with heat even as he treated her with complete disrespect! She understood it was a game, and that they were playing roles, but it didn’t stop her feeling outraged even as passion and heat made her burn. She lost herself to the role, to the hunger, to the sense of being out of control, to the idea of being helpless. And when Malik brought his friends into the game her heat only grew deeper.
