Alecto glanced at herself in the mirror, trying to retie her hair with the clip in a rush. Because she’d stayed too long in the cafeteria, she was now late to her acting class, and Madame Raquel hated when she was not the last one to enter the auditorium.
Right then, the door to the bathroom swung open, and Blaze’s tall frame appeared, slamming it shut behind him.
“What the fuck are you—?” The words died in Alecto’s throat as he stalked closer, the smell of smoke and leather overwhelming her senses.
Blaze shook his head, his black eyes intense and burning as he pushed her away from the sinks, deeper into the bathroom.
Blinking rapidly, Alecto took a few steps back, and he swiftly moved after her, not giving her any room. So Alecto retreated backward once more.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Alecto managed, willing her mouth to start working.
Blaze only offered a wicked half smile as his eyes narrowed, gliding down her body. “You said you were in a mood to play.”
Another step forward. Alecto’s chest heaved, warmth pooling below her navel.
“So I’m here to oblige.”
Alecto backed away again, stepping into one of the stalls. She was in the corner now, and Blaze stood in the entrance, blocking it. Adrenaline coursed through her bloodstream, Alecto’s heart racing.
That heavy look in those black eyes was her favorite one. She wished he looked at her this way always.
Finally, Blaze entered the stall before closing it and turning the lock. The sound of it clicking echoed from the tiled walls of the bathroom.
Alecto’s breath hitched as her back hit the wall. This wasn’t a very good idea. She was going to be so late, she might as well miss the class entirely.
“You’re sick, you know that?” Alecto’s voice was breathless, so her insult wasn’t as convincing as she would have hoped.
With a soft laugh, Blaze guided her hips on the toilet tank with his hands, willing her to sit, her legs spread on each side of it. Then Blaze leaned forward, his warm breath tickling her ear, and he whispered, “And you fucking love it.”
The barely controlled urge to snap that she did not fucking love anything about him hit her so hard, she started trembling. But maybe it wasn’t that, and Alecto just convinced herself that her muscles were taut because she was angry.
Maybe it was just her body’s reaction to Blaze’s presence, to his desire that was so obvious, it was making Alecto dizzy.
The cover slammed shut with a louddunk, and Blaze sat over the seat facing her, his face now daringly close to her middle. Alecto immediately snapped her tights shut, but he caught them, forcing them to stay apart.
“I thought we had an agreement.” Blaze’s scorching gaze snapped to the hem of her short skirt, the material hovering over her thighs, covering her most sensitive part, which was hot and throbbing in anticipation for what was to come.
This was pure madness. But it thrilled Alecto like nothing else.
It had been her idea to do this. It was her plan to get vengeance this way. To get back her power, wield it over him.
But when she was at Blaze’s mercy, like she was right now, aching for a touch, a kiss, anything, Alecto felt anything but in control.
One of his hands brushed the hem of her skirt, another hand travelling up her thigh, diving under it. Alecto’s whole body tensed at those clever wicked fingers so close to her core.
A small smile tugged a corner of Blaze’s lips as he took in his effect on her. Slowly, he lifted the skirt, revealing a sleazy red thong.
Blaze licked his lower lip and caught her gaze through his lowered lashes.
“Redismy favorite color.” His voice carried a hint of amusement, even though his eyes were burning with a greatly different emotion.
Holding Alecto’s gaze, Blaze brushed a finger over her panties, not missing the most sensitive part of her, right at the apex. Alecto gasped, her body going completely still.
One more gentle caress, and then his fingers pushed the lace aside, leaving her utterly naked.
Blaze brushed a long finger through her again, this time with no barrier separating their skin, and a whimper escaped her lips. He chuckled softly, circling his finger over her clit, drawing another mindless reaction out of her body.
“You’re so eager. So ready for me, baby,” Blaze whispered, his breath tickling her folds, and Alecto barely had the time to brace herself before his lips were on her, sucking and licking.
