Ugh, can’t a girl sleep?

“Turns out Odette is a heavy sleeper,” Niko sounded amused.

“I don’t think she has class until ten today. Let her sleep,” Wyatt dismissed.

It was quiet for some time, which I was grateful for. “How was last night?” I heard Dominic’s quiet voice out of nowhere.

Niko let out a long breath, and I could hear the grin in his tone. “It was delicious.”

Wake up, Odette! Open your eyes and move your body so you can end this conversation! I yelled in my mind.

“Hmm,” Aiden hummed. “Did you happen to see a tattoo on her hip?” He asked, curiosity laced in his question.

Niko scoffed, “You think I was looking at her hips?” He chuckled. “I’m not going to ruin the surprise for you, but wait until you see her pussy.”

Wake. Up.

My three other professors chuckled at their friend’s smugness. I recalled the mesmerized look on his face when he pulled my panties to the side last night and how it melted my insecurities away.

“So... you didn’t see a tattoo?” Aiden asked again.

“No, I would have noticed,” Niko said. “She told you she didn’t have one; why are you so adamant on finding it?” He chuckled.

“She has one, I know she does.”

Sometimes, I caught Aiden staring at strange areas of my body, but I hadn’t thought much of it until now. It wasn’t sexual, lustful looks; he was studying me. I’d caught him staring at the area behind my ears, hands, and any part of exposed skin he might not have seen before. Last night with the flashlight is one of the more apparent happenings. Now I understood. He was trying to find my tattoo.

For some reason, this brought me an immense amount of satisfaction. Aiden knew everything about everyone; it was one of his more egotistical traits. I like that I was making him question himself; it was strangely rewarding.

With my mind finally ready to wake my body up, I slowly peeked my eyes open. The four of them were standing in or around Niko’s doorway, all dressed in work clothes, ready for the day ahead.

I was lying on my side, the blanket up to my ribs, with my arms and chest outside the blanket. I opened my eyes and smirked at Aiden, “I don’t have a tattoo,” I lied, hoping to stir his mind more.

My voice captured their attention, and they all turned to look at me. Dominic and Aiden both shifted their bodies towards me, arms crossed with looks of intrigue. Wyatt looked caught and was slowly inching his way out of Niko’s room, which I thought was utterly adorable. Niko looked relieved, sending me a charming smile as he sat on the bed next to me.

“Well, good morning, Cariño,” he said playfully. “Would you like to come downstairs and have breakfast with us?” He invited.

It was then that I faintly smelled something deliciously sweet, like pancakes. I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, “That sounds wonderful,” I agreed happily. I felt slightly out of place in bed with pajamas on when they’d all clearly been up for a while. “Let me get dressed, and I’ll be down in a sec,” I stood up, the cool hardwood floor sending a chill up my body.

Aiden smirked, a mischievous tilt to his lips that made me shrink, “What?” I questioned defensively, trying not to show how much the simple look intimidated me.

He cocked an eyebrow at me, “Found your tattoo,” he claimed, still only looking into my eyes.

A gasp left my lips, a blush on my cheeks, hating the thin, skimpy tank top. I quickly looked down at myself, moving my hands to my chest to make any adjustments necessary to cover any part of my boob that was exposed.

To my relief and much confusion, there was no part of my breast or tattoo that was exposed. With furrowed eyebrows and a slight pout, I looked back up at Aiden to see him with the most prominent look of satisfaction.

To answer my confusion, he shrugged, “You made it too easy, Babydoll.” He glanced down at my chest for a split second before he winked, “You do have a tattoo, and it’s on your boob,” he said bluntly.

My lips parted, dumbfounded at how easily he cracked me. I crossed my arms over my chest, “You cheated,” I mumbled.

Aiden started walking towards the door to exit with a winning grin, “Don’t lie to me, Odette. It won’t end well for you,” he warned as he left.

That warning has more to unwrap than what’s on the surface. I’m too defeated and hungry to dive into the puzzle that is Aiden right now.

Dominic tilted his head towards the open door next to him, gesturing for me to get ready. I quickly moved my feet, not wanting to spend another second in this outfit.

Dominic’s feet stayed planted where he stood next to the door, making my palms sweat as I passed him. I felt an unfamiliar sting on my ass, making my jaw fall open. I turned to Dominic with wide eyes, gently rubbing my ass cheek that he smacked.
