Dark Romance Books: Fraternity Housemaid

My next romance is definitely on the dark side. Meet Tuck Murphy, the President of Tri-Chi. He’s tall, blond, tattooed, and rules the roost of his fraternity. When he sets his eyes on the Omega Omega pledge, Anijah, everything changes for the notorious campus playboy. Y’all read Book 1 if you’re here, right?! If not… STOP… there WILL BE SPOILERS…

So go ahead and check out Book One first before you come back: smarturl.it/fraternityplaything

OK… Do you CONSENT to spoilers?! If YES, keep reading…

Many of you had so many questions at the end of the Fraternity Plaything and this prologue will hopefully answer some of those questions… but not all of them. We have a WILD ride ahead in Book II. I know waiting will be frustrating. It will be painful. You might want to lock me in my room until I just get the damn story out, but y’all have my guarantee it will be just as hot as book one and if I can swing it, even better than book one.

Thanks for supporting me and keep reading for the prologue…

Fraternity Housemaid | FREE Romance Novella Excerpts

Lila Bergen fingered the memory card. She didn’t want to watch whatever Tuck Murphy recorded. She was just happy he’d handed it to her without complaint. Good. Now she didn’t just have dirt on that stupid new pledge, she had video evidence. Enough to blackmail her. Enough to control her. 

Lila, Emily, Ally, and the social chair, Charlotte Goodwin, organized the meeting with their new pledge. Charlotte drafted the email.

From: Lila Bergen (lbergen@laguanagrove.edu) 

To: Anijah Cox (acox@lagunagrove.edu)

Subject: Misconduct Hearing

Dear Anijah,

The board has recently come across evidence that you engaged in sexual misconduct with a member of our brother fraternity, Chi Chi Chi. We’ve scheduled a meeting with the Omega Omega board to discuss your misconduct and the ensuing consequences. We uphold our pledges at Omega Omega to a standard higher than the rest of the sororities on campus. 

To become an Omega Omega sister, you need to uphold our values which include integrity, honesty, chastity and proper behavior at all times. Your behavior has not represented the values of this sorority and if you want to continue as a pledge, you need to amend your behavior immediately. This amendment shall occur at the whims of the sorority governing board.

Your hearing is tonight at 7:00 p.m. You will wear proper attire and not dress as you usually do. That means shoulders covered. Knees covered. NO makeup. If you are late, we will have an enormous problem. Do not be late! 

Sincerely,

Lila, Emily, Ally and Charlotte

Anijah replied to the email. Misconduct? She’d done nothing wrong. Earlier that morning, Tuck drove her to class, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about her week. They’d sent her into the Tri-Chi frat house with nothing but a crop top saying “USE ME”. She’d slept with a brother, just as they wanted. What possible “misconduct” could there be?

Anijah dressed in a floor length black maxi dress, a black cardigan and a string of pearls around her neck and large pearl studs through her pierced ears. As instructed, she wore no makeup, and she showed up at 6:55 p.m.

Only the board sat in the living room and they arranged the chairs so they surrounded a single dining chair, sat in the middle of the room.

“Sit. Now,” Lila barked as Anijah walked in, without so much as a greeting. Anijah sat. In front of her, there was a small fold-out table with a memory card on it. She wrinkled her nose, but knew better than to speak unless spoken to.

Anijah sat, crossing her legs at her ankles and staring ahead.

“Thank you for joining us tonight, Anijah,” Lila said, in her sickeningly sweet voice.

“Thank you for having me at the house.”

Lila’s thin lips pinched together in a straight, obviously fake smile. Emily’s red face darkened as she burst into tears.

“Let’s get this over with,” she whimpered.

Her crying seemed dramatic. Perhaps more dramatic than the situation accounted for, but Anijah didn’t know what she could have done to make Emily cry… 

“We are here to discuss your misconduct,” Allison Wallis, the Omega Omega VP stated boldly, “We possess all evidence of your misconduct on this memory card.”

“Okay,” Anijah mumbled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Emily choked out a loud sob. Charlotte patted Emily on the back and added, “It’s one thing to act like a whore, but it’s another entirely to betray one of your own sisters.”

“I don’t understand.”

Lila stood up and took the memory card, raising it up dramatically to the light.

“This memory card contains disturbing evidence of your disgusting sexual practices. You allowed fraternity brother Tuck Murphy to penetrate you orally, vaginally and anally, and you did this all on film. While you performed this act of sexual misconduct, you did so knowing that one of your own sisters, Emily, was deeply in love with Tuck. Your actions were not sisterly. Your actions were not actions we’d expect of an Omega Omega sister. You acted like a whore and Tuck Murphy got this footage… who knows who else he spread it around to so you could ruin our reputation.”

Anijah stiffened. She couldn’t deny sleeping with Tuck. But… hadn’t they sent her.

“I thought… You sent me over there with a top that said ‘USE ME’!”

“It’s one thing for you to offer your cunt to the fraternity for equal usage of their property, but the evidence we have shows a clear malicious and romantic intent. You didn’t want to obey our commands, you wanted to steal Tuck Murphy for yourself, make us look like monsters. You weren’t even smart enough to check for a camera. Now that Tuck has this footage, he could ruin you. He could ruin all of us. This is unacceptable, Anijah.” 

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how he filmed it… I… I didn’t notice a camera or anything!”

Lila leaned forward, eyes gleaming in the dim light.

“Poor girl,” she sneered, “Guess what? When you let yourself get passed around like a slut, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets it on tape. You might have even slept with the other guys, too — who knows how many tapes there are out there. All we know is you let someone film and you look like a cheap hooker.”

“I don’t even like Tuck!” Anijah blurted out, “I promise! I have no romantic intent. I only… I only did what you guys wanted!”

Through her tears, Emily warbled, “You knew I was in love with him, but you wanted him to yourself! Now, Kyle dumped me!” 

Charlotte patted her back before sneering at Anijah, “See what you’ve done? You’ve hurt one of your own sisters. It’s a miracle we haven’t dropped you from the pledge class.”

“D-dropped me?” Anijah stammered.

Her mouth went dry. She didn’t want to drop out. Not now that both Omega Omega and the Tri-Chi brothers had footage of what happened between her and Tuck. Oh, God… they both had footage. And if she didn’t join Omega Omega, there wouldn’t be anyone to protect her. Tuck had proven himself to be worse than she could have ever imagined. What they had was never real, Anijah realized. So she could either cast her lot with the bitches, or with the boy who betrayed her.

“Are those the actions of a girl who doesn’t want to get dropped?” Lila responded.

“Please… I’m sorry. I’ll do whatever you want me to. Just don’t drop me. Don’t show anyone the footage. Please… I’ll be an exemplary pledge from now on. You can do whatever you want to me.”

They had already done the worst. The boy she liked was a dickhead. The sorority girls treated her like garbage. And her precious virginity? She’d lost it. No getting it back. There was nothing that could be worse than losing it to Tuck Murphy: the alpha asshole who sold her out.

Someone asked me how long the series was going to be and I need to have a moment of honesty with you. I WANT this series to be 5-7 books long. But I’ll only keep doing it if y’all keep reading it. I think sometimes after around 3-4 books people lose interest… But I don’t know! So if you like the stories, I will keep writing them. My goal is 5-7 books and that’s what I’ll try to do for y’all.

All the best, J.
