‘Ineedyou tonight,’ whispered words that revealed a juncture of letters so uncommon for him to say. Heneeding,as opposed to him wanting something or someone.
‘Cole, slow down,’ I could feel him instinctively jab himself against me to the point I was beginning to think that with his next thrust he will be inside my body.
‘God, you feel so good, Mouse.’ Should I repeat his statement? Because our chemistry was sky heightening, lifting me from over the bed and raising me so high that I was becoming certain that had a cosmic connection with him.
A sudden move made me aware that he had just become completely naked, and although my mid-waist craved to learn the new sensations he may bring,reality came kicking in.
‘Cole, what are you doing!?’ I was startled, pushing his weight away from me, as I was trying to escape to the other side of the bed.
‘Obviously a mistake,’ he muttered, annoyed that I rejected him in this way, especially since he let the wordneedslipbetween his thoughts and straight to my ears. ‘Go to sleep,’ he ordered, allowing me to remain in my place then turning his back on me, as my eyes filled with tears.
I wish I was the one to decide how I spend my life. The one who gets to choose who she kisses...who she shares a bed with, the one who saysnoand the one who saysdon’t stop. The one who makes her own mistakes. And if it would come to mistakes, Cole... would occupy one of the top spots on the list of those.
I fell asleep, although I felt him tossing and turning all night long, just as if the bed didn’t belong to him. Or maybe it was from the company, who knows?
The certainty is that I did manage to infuriate the last of mykingsas if I had a special gift of doing just so.
In a way, I felt guilty. I should feel guilty if I have a drop of normality left, not because I angered them, but because the time spent alone with the guys was starting to bring me a strange excitement. Now guilt was replacing whatever form of disgust I had felt. Though little did I know that my missteps will gradually bring me back to the exact path I should have taken in the first place.
I only opened my eyes in the morning, to stare into that perfectly carved face of his, waiting to admire the blue cobalt of his eyes as they opened wide. And they did... ‘Stop staring at me. You don’t want me fucking you, but you pull some psycho shit on me to watch me sleep. And they say I am the one who should get his head checked.’
Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
‘Get dressed, we wouldn’t want Miss Goodie Two-Shoes to be late on my account,’ he growled, walking to the bathroom from where he came out dressed for the Academy. And so was I, since in the minutes he spent in there, I had time to get fully ready for courses, although courses weren’t exactly what I had in mind for the day. I felt off, confused, maybe beaten, and the final encounter of the night was slaying me of all powers. I was going to see my family, and I was going to end my part of the deal with Brax at the same time. Though at what cost? Not only the price of my body but with the price of my will. I wasn’t the one who would get to choose, and who knows, maybe with this gesture, my king of the underworld was stopping me from exactly choosinghim.
It wasn’t long before both me and Cole were in his car, heading to the Academy, racing through the streets as he was competing in the NASCAR races.
‘Please slow down.’
‘You already used therequest of the weeklast night. I get to do whatever the fuck I please now.’
Ouch... Someone was pissed off.
‘To get to do whatever you want to would imply that we would both make it there alive.’
‘We will, don’t worry. I won’t let you get away that easy. I’m far from being through with you.’
I took his words exactly as they sounded. A threat! One that I was sure he will make good on.
‘Come,’ he barked as soon as we got out of the car and I was heading towards the back entrance to reach my side of the hallway.
‘Where!?’ I spoke in total confusion seeing him catch the upper part of my arm and, almost dragging me to the front entrance.
What on earth was it going on?
I shortly received the answer to that question as before I could realize what was truly happening, I was walking beside him, right to the main end of the hallway.
‘Why did you bring her here?’ I could hear the confusion in Nick’s voice as we walked past him, as he spoke out a question that I was just about to ask myself.
‘Shut the fuck up, Nick,’ thekingignored him, guiding me a few feet away from the small group of students Nick was a part of, while I could see all heads shifting to look straight at me.
‘I have a present for you, Mouse,’ he whispered as he turned me to face him, making me aware of all the wicked thoughts that were deviously glittering in his eyes.
His hands locked on my waist so tightly that I felt I was losing all drops of oxygen, forcing my eyes to raise and look at him, acknowledging his next gesture.
But it couldn’t be possible!
Why would he ever dothat!?
