“I can’t stop thinking about the taste of your pussy on my tongue.” He whispers into my ear making my knees shake.
“Sounds like a personal problem.” He gives me his signature smirk that’s the perfect mix of asshole and handsome motherfucker.
“What do you say, we meet up later?” He trails his nose down my neck
“Are you not coming to class?” I hitch my eyebrows up.
“Why, are you going to miss me?”
I shove him in the chest, taking a step back, still tethered to him by my wrist. “Never.”
“Where have I heard that word before?”
“Asshole. Why are you meeting with the headmaster anyway?”
His spine goes ramrod straight, dropping my wrist like it’s shocked him. “Frat stuff. Alumni ball. Which by the way, are you going? Maybe I can take you?”
Is he… lying? Stalling? My internal alarms are going off and I don’t like it. I narrow my eyes at him as he shifts from one foot to the other. Interesting.
“I think I can take myself, thanks.” I spin on my heel and stomp down the hallway.
I make it almost completely out of the building when my phone buzzes with a notification from Pierce:
Pain in my ass: Forgot to mention how fuckable you look this morning.
Me: As opposed to when?
Pain in my ass: Don’t be like that, baby. Let me take you to the ball.
Me: Pass.
I fire off a text to Skye informing her of my insane meeting and ignore the incoming ones from Pierce. I go through the motions of moving from one class to the next until lunch when I drop my bag and lay my head on the table. Skye sits down with the same kind of mood I’m feeling. Maybe even more so.
“What is with you two?” Javelynn asks as they set their tray down, joining us.
“Life.” I sigh, picking open a yogurt and stabbing the contents with my spoon. “Headmaster Hayden is demanding I go to the Alumni Ball this weekend.”
“That’s an amazing opportunity to network.” Javelynn says slugging back a sweet tea.
“But it’s also dancing and handshaking and people-ing. I need to order a dress.”
“I see you were able to get some new clothes finally.” Javelynn says pointing to my bag.
“Yes, I’ll return the ones I borrowed tomorrow. Thank you so much for helping us out, seriously. You’re a life saver.”
“Yes, seriously. Thank you, Javelynn.” Skye pipes up squeezing their hand in gratitude.
“Don’t sweat it.”
“So why are you in a funk today, Skye.”
“Ughh, I don’t even want to talk about it. I did something stupid.”
“Something or someone.” Javelynn quips and it makes me bark out a laugh.
By the expression on Skye’s face I’d say it’s the latter. “Oh my God, Skye.”
She covers her face with her hands. “Ugh I know!”
