“Is Bennett here?” I asked. For some reason I looked over my shoulder toward Titan’s office instead.
Otto finished chewing a bite. “Are you sure you’re not looking for Titan instead?”
What was that supposed to mean?
Otto elbowed Ace in his side with a big grin.
I pressed my lips together. God, I knew exactly what he meant. Titan had told them about what happened yesterday. When Bennett’s mouth was on me but I stared at Titan as I came. But I didn’t feel as embarrassed when I knew it was probably that stupid watchguiding my every move. Did they know about the watch? They probably did. Which made it really inappropriate for them to joke about.
I cleared my throat. “I’m just looking for Bennett.”
“It’s your lucky day. They’re both in Bennett’s office.”
Ace hit him in the back of the head.
“Ow.” Otto scratched the back of his neck.
I was wasting time. I probably only had a few minutes left until Callum came barging in here. “Thanks for your help, guys.” I walked over to Bennett’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” he called from the other side.
I opened the door.
Bennett was sitting behind his desk calmly. And Titan was pacing in front of it. Bennett smiled and stood up. “Hey, Emma.”
Titan froze when he saw me. For just a second his eyes dropped to my lips.
Why was he looking at me like that? “I brought muffins,” I said and pointed over my shoulder.
Titan just kept staring at me.
“Um…they’re still warm.”
“We’re not doing this,” Titan said. “We need to come up with a better plan.” He turned back to Bennett. “He’ll hurt her. You know he will.”
I opened my mouth and then closed it again. Bennett had told Titan about my plan to burn Callum with the pen? I kind of thought that was between him and me. Not me and all his friends. “Can I have a moment alone with Bennett, please?” I asked.
Titan folded his arms across his chest. “No, doll. You can’t. We’re coming up with a better plan together.”
Bennett walked around his desk. “Just a minute, Titan.”
Titan shook his head. But he finally left the office, closing the door behind him.
“You told him about our plan?” I asked.
“I don’t keep secrets from my friends, Emma. And he can help.”
So you just keep secrets from me, huh?I clenched my jaw. I wanted to punch his stupid beautiful face.
“Are you okay?” He reached out and touched the side of my face. “Are you nervous about today? I swear I’ll be right there the whole time.”
“I don’t want to talk about Callum.” I stepped closer to him. “I just want you to distract me from everything.” I pressed my hand against his chest. “Take my mind off all this crazy stuff.” I slid my hand up, wrapping it behind the back of his neck.
“Well, I can definitely handle that.” He closed the distance between us, pressing his lips against mine.
I reached my free hand down to his belt.Now which pocket is it? Left of right?I slid my hand lower. And then immediately moved it left instead of touching him.
He groaned into my mouth.
