Warmth spread from her lungs to her chest and further to the very tips of her limbs. When every muscle in her body relaxed, only then did she release the smoke.
“Let him be smart enough to hold a conversation that doesn’t include boobs or sports,” Alecto said, cocking her head. Alessandro and Jolene giggled. “Let him be charming as one of the demons from Hel. And let him know exactly where the fuck the clit is and what to do with it.”
Another round of shouts and giggles went around the circle, and Alecto dropped the petals in the bowl, immediately missing the softness against her skin.
If they were going to summon a Guardian to help them win the Game, she was going to make sure he was decent. There were already enough useless men around them. Men who didn’t know what to do with women. Who were clueless and selfish.
Alecto shuddered as she remembered her last hookup, Gabe from the House of Tigers.
There were rumors spread since her first day at Venefica Academy about the size of his cock, and all the girls whispered of it like he was a legend.
Naturally, Alecto was thrilled when she finally got his attention at the end of her first year. A mere first-year student—a half witch at that—getting the invitation to hang out with the legendary Hulk, as they called him.
She liked a man with a big cock as much as any other girl, and when he bent her over and slammed into her from behind, back at the boathouse by the Blood Lake, it was divine.
It was arealthrill.
Until he finished right before Alecto could fully get into it. Once again, she was left empty, unsatisfied, only with his jizz streaming down her thigh as he zipped his jeans.
Disappointing.
Men were disappointing, big cocks or not.
“Hold hands,” Val instructed, and they all obeyed, lacing their fingers together. This time, Blaze kept his power to himself. Val closed her eyes, and they followed. “Grantisio immane.”
A tingly, warm feeling washed through Alecto, and from the gasps around the circle, she guessed the others felt it as well.
But it was gone as suddenly as it appeared. When Alecto opened her eyes, the room was quiet and still, even if the air remained electric from the storm coming their way.
Val’s crimson lips curled into a wicked grin. “Let’s go to the party, bitches.”

“Give me a fucking break,” Jolene murmured as she downed one jelly shot after another.
Her pretty brown nose scrunched, and she shivered at the taste of alcohol.
“What?” Alessandro shrugged, lifting his palms in defense. “I’m telling you, those whores from the House of Rabbits didn’t need their daddies to buy their grades. They fucked the professor. I saw it with my own two eyes.”
“You’re full of shit, Andro.” Even Blaze didn’t believe him. “There is no way they could have fucked Professor Darcy. He barely looks at his students during class, as if we’re too beneath him to even spare us a glance. It doesn’t matter that our parents are the ones who pay his fucking salary.”
Blaze would know all about it. His parents were one of the most prominent Alumni after all. Of course, so were Andro’s, Jolene’s, and Alecto’s families. But Blaze’s parents were the ones who owned half the buildings on Venefica’s campus.
“Well, what difference does it make?” Alecto asked, rolling her eyes. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t you the one to fuck Professor Goldfinch last trimester to get a better grade for your Enchanting for Witches class?”
“It was a completely different story,” Andro scoffed, brushing a hand over his dreadlocks, his face twisted with distaste.
“Is it now?” Alecto arched a brow.
“How the fuck is that any different?” Jolene chimed in.
“It was a dare,” Andro explained. “It’s not as if a better grade was the goal here. It was a mere bonus to Professor Goldfinch’s long, perfect cock.”
Alecto and Jolene exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
“Your little dare got Mr. Long Perfect Cock fired,” Blaze reminded Andro, his dark eyes intense over the rim of his glass.
Alessandro didn’t look even one bit regretful. “Well, it’s not my problem he broke one of Venefica’s laws and fucked a student now, is it? And anyway, since when do you care about the well-being of our professors,Blazy?”
