The look on Alecto’s face as she recognized her underwear from their little affair back in that classroom was priceless.
Blaze had to bite the inside of his cheek to not laugh.
Alecto’s cheeks flushed a deep pink, eyes going wide as her pretty lips parted.
It took her good few moments to glance back at Blaze and hiss, “You’re—you’ve got to stop this.Now.Put it away.”
Alecto tried grabbing for his hand to hide the underwear, but Blaze was faster, moving his hand away from her reach.
“Ah, don’t tell me you regret what happened?” Blaze taunted. “That hurts my feelings. I truly thought that we had something. Our dirty little secret.”
Alecto growled as she finally gave up, falling back in her seat. She crossed her arms, her cheeks still glowing red as she shook her head.
“We have nothing,” Alecto said. “You can go fuck yourself.”
Blaze wasreallygood at pissing Alecto off.
“Mr. Leveau is that a piece of underwear in your hand?” Professor Gabetown’s voice came from their side, and Alecto went still.
Blaze turned towards the professor. “Yes, sir.”
“Do you need it for your garden?”
The classroom erupted with laughter.
Blaze smirked, and Alecto looked as pissed off as ever.“Not really, Professor.”
“Then why do you have it with you in my class? Were you looking to show off your personal underwear collection to your fellow students?”
Blaze spun the underwear on his finger, glancing around the greenhouse.
“I was actually just trying to find out what underwear Alecto liked,” Blaze answered, glancing at her. “We couldn’t agree on which color suits her better—black or red. Do you have any thoughts, Professor?”
A few whistles went around the greenhouse, a few inappropriate shouts following.
“I’m sure you can solve that personal issue on yourpersonaltime and not in my class,” the professor said, walking away. “Get to work, Leveau.”
“Yes, sir.” Blaze stuffed the underwear back into his pocket, turning to Alecto, who still sat facing away from him.
Alecto was going to kill him.
“Did I tell you how fucking hot you looked back in the Dean’s office?” he whispered, leaning closer to her. “All mean and sassy. With an attitude—”
Alecto slammed her book shut.“Fuck off.” But he didn’t miss the way she clasped her thighs, pressing her knees together. “I’m seriously going to turn you into a fucking plant right in front of the whole class.”
Blaze only chuckled, grabbing her chair and pulling it closer to him. He didn’t even care what other students would think anymore.
“Why do you fight it, Black?” Blaze sneered, cocking his head as his hand moved her hair away from her face. “Just give in and have fun. I know you enjoyed me just as much as I enjoyed you.”
Alecto’s jaw clenched so hard the muscle flared.
Mind games were the best type of foreplay. Blaze’s heart hammered, his whole body on fire.
Why was Alecto Black getting him so heated?
Alecto grabbed her books and satchel and rose to her feet.
“Excuse me, Professor? I need to use the library for research,” she said.
