The bell rings, and everyone rushes from the class to leave for the day. Evie and I wait until everyone else has walked out before we get up and pack our stuff up to leave. Or at least until we thought everyone had already left. The Kings are still in their seats, bodies stiff as they wait. They get up when we do.
“Do they ever leave you alone?” Evie whispers to me.
“Midas has been distant lately,” I start to say as we walk towards the door. My eyes focused on my friend beside me. I don’t see them until I bump into Zeus at the door. He reaches out to stabilize me, looking down at me with adoration.
Midas leans against the door frame, his arms crossed in front of him, accentuating his muscles. His eyes are hard, glaring daggers. Odin stands on the other side of the door frame. He has a crazed look in his eyes that does something to me. So primal and possessive, like I am his prey to devour. I look between the three of them and then at Evie. She blanches in their presence. She may have gotten used to hanging out with Zeus and Odin, but Midas is entirely new territory.
I grab Evie’s hand and try to push through the impenetrable wall that is the Kings. Midas’s hand reaches out, grabbing my arm. “Not a chance, new girl.” He growls to me before giving Evie a look that saysfuck off now.She looks at Midas nervously and then at me. I nod and tell her to go home. I will call her later. She dashes out of the room and down the hall, leaving me in a room with the Kings and Mr. Labeau.
I want to say something to Midas, yell at him even for thinking he could corner me, and scare my friend. Who the hell does he honestly think he is? I get that he assumes he is this all-powerful guy, but he isn’t. Midas glares over my shoulder at the teacher as he pulls me closer, marking his territory.Why does that slightly turn me on?Down girl. Don’t get turned on by a guy acting like a caveman.
“Gentleman, I don’t think you should touch Ms. Gold like that without her permission.” Mr. Labeau barks. I see his eyes burning with anger, his body tense, but he is trying to stay professional. “Do you need some help, Serena?” He asks.
Before I could even attempt to tell him I am fine- this isn’t new with them- Midas pulls me out of the class and down the hall towards my locker. Odin and Zeus follow behind, completely surrounding me. I should be scared, trying to escape them, but I don’t. I have never felt that way with them.
“What do you want, Midas?” I sigh when we finally reach my locker. I attempt to open it to get my stuff so I can leave after this weird exchange.
Odin slams his hand on the door, making me jump a little. I turn around and look at the three of them. They are all wearing the same look of anger and possession. I reach out and touch Midas’s cheek, trying to comfort him. I don’t know why he feels this angry, but a part of me wants to fix it. He leans his head into my hand, sighing. He relaxes for a moment, and everything feels all right.
“What did Mr. Labeau want with you before class started?” Zeus asks.
I turn to him to Zeus. I take my hand off Midas and grab Zeus’s hand with it, squeezing it tightly, hoping it comes off as reassuring. He looks down at our joined hands, confused. I go to let go, thinking I crossed a line, but he holds me tighter.
“He was just asking how I was doing,” I say, still confused. What is this all about?
“You need to stay the fuck away from him, Serena.” Odin darkly says. I look at him, wanting to ask why I need to stay away from the teacher. It’s not like I ever planned on spending time with him anyway, but these three seem beyond determined to keep me away. What is going on that they know about that I don’t?
“We. Own. You.” Midas exclaims. I snap my head towards him. I don’t belong to anyone, let alone him. He has made that clear lately while flirting with other girls in front of me. He hasn’t even said more than five words to me since the party.
“You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do, Midas. Last I checked, I wasn’t your girlfriend. I’m pretty sure Valerie holds that title.” I sneer. Anger pulsing in me like I haven’t felt in a long time.
Midas laughs like this is the funniest thing to him. “Think again, new girl. I own you. You just don’t know it yet.” He steps closer to me. I take a step back, hitting my locker. I have nowhere I can go. All three are caging me in. “But you are right. You’re not my girlfriend. I don’t do the whole girlfriend thing.”
“Fuck off, Midas. You may not have a girlfriend, but I have a boyfriend.” I lamely reply, hoping he doesn’t know the truth, but I told Odin that Evan and I broke up. There is no way he didn’t share that information with the other two.
“Last I heard, you and your little boyfriend broke up. That’s what you told Odin when you were grinding against his dick. Did you lie to him, hoping he would take you home and fuck you? Are you so desperate for our cocks? That must be why you have been spending so much time with Zeus. Eager to fuck your way to the top, just like every whore in this school. You aren’t special, but don’t worry, baby. I don’t care how eager and desperate you are. You can ride me whenever you want.” Midas taunts me. He looks drunk on lust as his eyes scan down my body.
Without thinking, I raise my hand and slap him across the face. The noise echoes in the empty hallway. I pull my hands back, gasping at how stupid I am. Midas looks stunned that I hit him. They all do. No one in school is stupid enough to stand up against them, until me.
If looks could kill, I would be dead right now. Midas wraps his hand around my throat, tightening, but I can still breathe. I claw at his hand, trying to fight him off. Odin and Zeus look like they want to pull him off me, but neither Zeus nor Odin move. Midas’s eyes darkened. He doesn’t look like the same man I know anymore. I suddenly can see what everyone says about him. He is ruthless and deadly. I stop fighting him, knowing I will never be able to get him off me.
“I own you,” Midas whispers into my ear before letting go of my throat.
I fall to the ground. Tears in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I won’t let them see me weak. They don’t get to break me like that. No man does. When I look up, they are all gone.
Midas
Stupid fucking bitch, who the hell does she think she is? No one has ever hit me and lived to see the next day. I have killed people for less. I wanted to strangle her until the life left her sweet eyes. I wanted to hear her beg and plead with me to let her live, but she didn’t. I saw how she flinched at first, but she held firm. Serena stared back at me like she was daring me to do it. That was probably the hottest thing a girl has ever done to me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hurt her. I would never be able to kill her. She is strong and reckless, but I like that about her. I just needed her to be scared, to know who was on top. To know her place. I may let shit slide when it comes to her, but she still needed to be punished. The thought of her naked on my bed, her hand tied behind her back while I spank her, invades my mind. That’s how I want to punish her when I finally have her.
The three of us walk out of the school and to our bikes. Everyone else is already gone. The only cars left belong to the teachers and Serena. I can’t stop staring at it, picturing fucking her in the backseat or her sucking my cock while I drive it. Add those to my ever-growing list of ways to fuck her when I win the bet.Is it just a bet anymore?Yes, it is, I think. Odin whistles to get my attention. I turn around and see him and Zeus already on their bikes, waiting for me. I hop on, and we ride to my house.
The open road has always been one of the only ways to calm myself down. The feeling of freedom as the world whips past me. I still feel so wound up, needing an outlet. Ordinarily, I would just fuck some slut to get these feelings out, but not this time. I refuse to fuck anyone until I fuck Serena. I want to feel her tight pussy clamp around me while I drive into her. I want to hear her moans of pleasure and screams of ecstasy. I want to hear her say my name like it’s the only name she ever wants to say.
I’m starting to feel like once I have her, I won’t ever be able to give her up.
Maybe Zeus has the right idea by trying to be her friend first. He is the closest to her out of the three of us. She looks at him in a way that I want her to look at me. She gives that look to Odin sometimes, like he is everything.
Odin has been laying his crazy on thick but in a different way. There is a reason we call him a psycho. Besides the fact that he could fillet a man without breaking a sweat, he is obsessive. When he gets his sights on something, we won’t stop until he has it. His sights have been set on Serena since he saw her.
