Rebate King: Every Beauty I Spoil Makes Me a Billionaire

The matte-black Audi hummed smoothly as Stan pulled out of the parking lot, merging behind the convoy of four buses carrying the Peak University basketball team, cheerleaders, and supporting students. The morning traffic was light, allowing them to settle into a steady pace toward Velaris Crown University, roughly an hour’s drive.

Inside the luxurious cabin, an awkward silence settled almost immediately.

Sophie sat in the passenger seat, legs crossed elegantly, her short cheer skirt riding high on her toned thighs. Maya and Fiona occupied the back, both unusually quiet.

Maya stared out the window, biting her lip as fresh waves of jealousy simmered beneath her composed exterior.

Fiona, the shy red-haired beauty, kept her hands folded tightly in her lap, cheeks still faintly pink from her bold decision to join. The air felt thick with unspoken tension, three girls who all harbored strong feelings for the same man, now confined together in an intimate space.

Stan kept one hand on the wheel, the other resting casually on the center console, his athletic build relaxed yet commanding in the driver’s seat. He could feel their eyes on him occasionally, the charged atmosphere almost tangible.

Sophie, ever the bold one, finally broke the silence after a few minutes, turning toward him with a warm, affectionate smile that didn’t quite hide the longing in her eyes. ”So... how does it feel knowing you’re about to save Zack’s pride on the court? He was practically begging you.”

Stan chuckled softly, glancing over at her. The way her cropped top hugged her full breasts and exposed her flat stomach was distracting in the best way. ”Feels like I got roped into something bigger than I expected. But Zack’s like my brother. Couldn’t say no after all those desperate messages.”

Maya leaned forward slightly from the back, her voice joining in with a touch of playful competitiveness, though her eyes held a deeper emotional undercurrent. ”You looked incredible during practice, Stan. The way you picked everything up so fast... it’s like you were born for it. I couldn’t stop watching.”

’He’s so effortless at everything. Sophie gets to sit right next to him, touching him whenever she wants. I want that closeness too... I need to make him see me more.’

Sophie reached over and gently placed her hand on Stan’s thigh, squeezing lightly. The touch was possessive yet tender. ”She’s right. You moved like a pro out there. The other cheerleaders were all whispering about you. I told them you’re mine, well, mostly mine.” She winked, but there was a vulnerable note beneath the teasing. ”I missed you so much these past days. Seeing you in that jersey today... it reminded me how lucky I am.”

The conversation flowed more naturally from there, the initial awkwardness melting as they talked.

Fiona listened quietly at first, stealing shy glances at Stan’s strong profile and the way his lean muscles flexed when he shifted gears. Her heart still raced from the boldness of inviting herself along, but Sophie’s easy warmth and Maya’s engagement made her feel less like an intruder.

”You two seem really close,” Fiona ventured softly after a few minutes, her voice gentle and melodic, dyed red hair framing her pretty face. ”I mean... from what I saw at the gym. It was sweet. And a little intimidating.”

She blushed again, looking down. ’He’s even more attractive up close. How does someone like him even notice someone like me? But... he smiled at me. That has to mean something.’

Sophie laughed lightly, though her fingers tightened slightly on Stan’s thigh. ”We are close. Stan has a way of making a girl feel like she’s the only one in the world when he wants to.”

She turned to him, eyes shimmering with pronounced emotion, love mixed with that quiet fear of sharing him. ”Even when you’re busy saving people at clubs or visiting old friends, you still make time feel special. I just... I hate when days go by without seeing you.”

Stan glanced at her warmly, his hand briefly covering hers on his thigh. ”I’m here now. And I’m not going anywhere.”

Maya jumped in, leaning farther forward so her face appeared between the seats, her competitive spirit shining through.

”Speaking of visiting old friends...” she said lightly. ”You mentioned someone from your childhood a while ago. In Velaris?”

Her tone was casual, but Stan could easily pick up on the undercurrent of jealousy beneath it.

’Another girl? Of course. But I won’t let that stop me. I’ll fight for my place.’

A small smirk tugged at her lips, only to vanish when she noticed Sophie’s judging stare fixed on her. Realization struck a moment later.

’Right... I’ve basically admitted I was eavesdropping on that conversation.’

Maya coughed awkwardly and quickly forced a bright smile.

”Anyway,” she continued, directing her attention back to Stan, ”was it fun catching up? She must be pretty important if you drove all the way there to see her.”

Stan nodded, keeping his reply measured. ”Yeah, her name’s Mia. We grew up together, best friends as kids. Hadn’t seen her in nine years. It was good to reconnect. Her family’s been through a lot too.”

The name hung in the air for a moment. Sophie’s expression flickered with understanding but also a flash of insecurity.

”Mia... sounds nice. I’m glad you had that. Just don’t forget about the people waiting for you here in Inksea, okay?” She leaned over the console, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek, her breasts brushing his arm deliberately. Even though she’d already slept with him, doing this right in front of two other girls who were clearly potential rivals for his attention was a huge step for her. It took every bit of courage she had to make that move.

Fiona, growing bolder, smiled shyly. ”It must be nice having friends from so long ago. I wish I had those kinds of connections. Most of my friends at Peak are pretty new.” She glanced at Maya and Sophie. ”You three make it look easy though, being around Stan. He has this... presence. Like everything just feels safer and more exciting when he’s there.”

The conversation deepened as the miles passed.

They talked about the upcoming game, Zack’s dramatic reactions to the previous loss, funny team stories, and light-hearted teasing about Stan’s unexpected talent.

Sophie shared how she’d only agreed to cheer because of him, her voice full of affection. Maya countered with playful jabs about how she’d ’steal’ some of his attention during the game but he shouldn’t mind her but stay focused that she believes in him, her jealousy fueling a determined charm.

Fiona opened up about her own nervousness performing in front of crowds, and how seeing Stan practice had calmed her somehow.

Laughter filled the car multiple times, the initial tension dissolving into a surprisingly comfortable dynamic.

Subtle touches continued, Sophie’s hand never fully leaving his thigh, Maya reaching forward to playfully ruffle his hair at one point, Fiona gaining enough confidence to ask him questions about his favorite movies, her voice growing warmer with every reply.

As they approached Velaris Crown University an hour later, the distinctive campus buildings came into view.

Stan felt the shift in the girls’ energy, excitement for the game mixed with the lingering romantic undercurrents.

The Audi rolled smoothly behind the buses into the visitor parking area, the journey having transformed three somewhat awkward passengers into a group bonded by shared feelings for the man behind the wheel.
