Fuck. I don't have a lot of time.
My pet's got her back to me, facing the window, and staring at it like she hopes if she concentrates hard enough, it'll open a portal to another dimension. No such luck today, I think, but maybe one day I'll show her all the ways to escape inside this prison.
The strange thought brings an impending frown.
I don't share my secrets,ever, not even with the only two people I call friends, Gabe and Kill, my brothers in perdition at the Academy.
But this sudden, unwelcome urge to take her up to the roof and show her the southwest corner that overlooks the chapel and fuck her there is . . . strong. I imagine it, her hair swaying over the edge of the roof, her body rocking with every thrust as she clings to me, begging me both to not let her fall and to not stop.
I need to touch her.Now.
I start forward, my footfalls silent as has become my custom, and come up behind her as she continues to stare out the window. She has no idea what's coming and flinches violently as I slide one arm around her middle, cinching her arms tight at her sides and another over her mouth, flattening my palm hard against her teeth.
She screams, but the sound is muffled by my hand, and I take a moment to enjoy my catch.
She smells of roses and salt, floral yet bitter. But she feels even better, pliable and supple, her ass curving against me and pressing against my dick. Even that dead organ in my chest, which is never excited, beats a little faster just for her.
I tip forward, closer, and let my warning heat the curve of her ear.
"Shh, pet," I say to her. "Be a good girl, or you'll have to go to sleep like your roommate."
I feel her gaze slice across the room and over to the passed-out girl. I almost hear the click as she catches up and the pieces slide into place. Then she, predictably, freaks the fuck out.
She rears forward, as far as I'll let her at least, and then back, trying to headbutt me, but my hold is too tight. All she ends up accomplishing is grinding her ass against my dick as I cinch my arms even tighter, tight enough to wrench a strangled gasp from between her teeth.
Unpredictably, she tries again, fighting even harder.
She lifts her right foot and goes for my boot but misses. Still, she manages to catch two of my toes, and pain lightning-bolts through my foot. It hurts like a bitch, but it makes me laugh.
My pet is the opposite of boring after all.
"Mmm," I murmur against her, chuckling in her ear as she continues to wriggle, "just like that, pretty girl."
A moment after I say it, she goes completely and utterly still. If I couldn't feel her shaking, I'd think she went full-blown catatonic and disassociated, though that could also be fun.
She tries to say something into my hand and obliterates the perfect moment.
"If I let go," I whisper to her hair as her annoying-as-fuck roommate mumbles in her sleep, "are you going to behave?"
She nods, mumbling who knows what against my hand again. Abruptly, I release her.
There's a second of calm, during which she steps away from me and turns, her pale cheeks flushed fire-engine red and her nostrils flared like a cute little bull. Aweakcute little bull who's treading in very dangerous waters and isthisclose to making me lose control.
Maybe I'll put her on her knees in front of the roommate.
Or see what happens if I bite those scars she's hiding beneath the sleeves of her cardigan.
Or take her with me to the basement and find out what she's really afraid of.
She looks at me. I look at her. And we wait for the other one to blink.
Her honey-colored eyes are wide and wild, her entire expression darting back and forth, flipping between fear and anger. I don't need a psychic reading to tell me who's going to break first.
Hint: Not. Fucking. Me.
A moment later, she absolutely loses her shit, and her hand shoots out toward me. I expect another slap. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it, considering it's a defection from the grovelingtake me daddybullshit I've come to endure from the pathetic princesses around here. I do not expect, however, when her sharp nails catch the side of my jaw and dig in.
Owwwww.
