‘Since you’re such a lady...,’ I smiled.

‘I never said I’m a lady. I just don’t find the need.’

‘Ok, so if I was to take you back to your room, get rid of the panties I just put on, then carefully attend to every single need of that tight pussy of yours until you cum on my cock... Maybe then you could find a use for the words.’ I would have happily helped her, attending to all of her needs, and making every single word, of what I just said, realty. ‘I was just proving a point, don’t get excited over something that won’t happen. You’re just afraid of the idea of sex, even though you like it much more than you let yourself believe. So, now, Mrs. Prude, let me tuck you in before I’ll feel forced to come up with extra examples of how much of a prude you really are.’ But one day ...one day we would explore that together.

I let her sleep for the night and of course, morning came with new ideas. She wanted to see her family, and because she didn’t seem to speak to either Ferris or Brax, I was the only one left to help her. I had befriended Sebastian anyway ever since he was in the hospital. Not sure about Natalie though, not after I gave her a phone just to blackmail her into boosting her grades. But I was making progress.

I did survive the day… and many more to come. Ok, survive is one way of saying it, no matter how much I tried to show her that I changed, I was still getting only the cold shoulder. Plus, since she wasn’t really talking to either of the guys, I was beginning to gain a little of their envy, even though it held no solid ground. I was as much an outcast as they were.

I couldn’t do anything other than let things cool down and see what would happen from there on. The time of pushing my way into her life was long gone, all I was left with was trying to draw her into mine.

Chapter 12

Mouse and I had gone through a few difficult weeks before she was finally ready to return to the Academy and little did I know that this day would give me the surprise of a lifetime.

Back on her throne for less than an hour and Bea seemed to be taking her role as a queen literally, trying to instill a new order between the Elite by getting her freckled friend, Jenna, to join our end of the hallway.

‘What the fuck do you think you’re doing?’ I roared, seeing that things were spiraling out of control so fast.

‘Just making a decision, as my role permits me. She’s my friend and I’m sick of hanging around these marionettes.’

‘I think I should go.’ Jenna was trying to make a run for it.

‘No, you shouldn’t,’ I was the one who answered. I wasn’t going to have a public fight with mynew queen. For stability’s sake, I needed to show my support, even though I was seconds away from actually showing her who was the real boss at the Academy. ‘Stay. But you, Mouse, you’re coming with me.’

‘What? Why?’ I could see it in her eyes that she wasn’t going to move her ass, and that was leaving me with no choice but to deal with it. ‘Mouse, I guarantee that youdon’twant to see me pissed off. And right now, you’re onlyone wordaway from doing just that.’

At least she listened to my command whilst not saying another word, but the defiance in her gaze was infuriating me way more than usual.

Maybe she didn’t understand the message... and it was about time to get it through to her, so, I made sure to whisper it directly into her ear. ‘I promise that if you don’t do as I say, I’m going to remodel your friend Darryl’s face. And I’m going to let everyone know whose fault it was.’

Extreme times call for extreme measures and having to fix someone’s nose just for the sake of it, well that wouldn’t have been so uncommon for me.

I didn’t wait for a comeback line. I didn’t have it in me to bottle up any more steam. I just left, heading off towards the Chem lab, knowing that she would follow.

‘What the fuck do you think you’re doing?’ I asked, looking for an explanation for her behavior the second that we found ourselves alone.

‘I was just playing my part as aqueen. I thought I was allowed to make decisions on my own.’

‘Not decisions that change the way things work around here.’ My function may have provided me with many perks, but going against all the Elite could easily prove to be a wrong move.

‘So let me get this straight. When you wanted a piece of my pussy, it was ok to bring me into your world, but now that I’m here, I don’t possess the power to bring a friend!?’

‘Things were different with you,’ I snarled, knowing that she wouldn’t truly understand.

‘Different how? You broke the same rules you’re now giving me attitude about.’

‘Different... that everyone knew I owned you.’ I didn’t make her just my friend who misplaced her way down the other way of the lobby. I made her my fucking girlfriend. She should have understood that from the start.

‘Oh, so I was only the king’s toy.’

‘I officially made you my fucking girlfriend, so don’t give me attitude about it.’

‘Right... because you liked the way I tremble in front of you.’ She was playing some sort of a game that I didn’t catch onto yet. It was like she was trying to be the predator and not the prey in a devious charade designed to allure me into a trap.

I decided to play along and see where it would lead to. It wasn’t like I had anything to lose anyway.

And my instinct served me right. The next thing I knew, she took a step further adventuring dangerously close to my lips. ‘So tell me, Cole, how do you like me more, to tremble like a slave? Or to rule beside you?’ Her fingers searched for my own, guiding my thumb to gently slip between her lips. ‘Slave orqueen?’ She asked, tracing the tip of my fingers with her tongue in an ultimate attempt of seduction.
