Page 56 of Kings of Desire
Grabbing hold of my arm, Jenna glued herself to me as we started walking towards the class where the course was being held with Cole tightly on our trail ‘What are we going to do?’ She wobbled unsure what he wanted from her.
I didn’t possess an answer either, but whatever it was, I couldn’t let him have his way this time.
‘I’ll handle him, don’t worry,’ though the truth was I had no idea how. Hopefully, improvise, even if when it came to Cole there was little room left for anything other than his desires.
‘Ladies first,’ he showed us to two seats somewhere in the corner of the classroom as I gestured Jenna to occupy the one next to the wall, so, that I’ll be left with the one next to Cole. I needed to keep her as far as possible from his tyrannical behavior, and that’s exactly what I was doing.
‘You’re afraid of what I’m capable of,’ he let a diabolical grin slide on his face, tilting his head to look at Jenna.
‘Leave her alone. She’s got nothing to do with our understanding.’
‘Since when do you tell me what to do?’
Shit, I only managed to infuriate him even more.
‘I didn’t mean it like that... It’s just that she’s not involved in what’s between us.’
‘And what isthat’sbetween us!?’ The question made perfect sense in a normal world, but right now, I was sure that neither of us held the answer.
‘I know what it is between me and you… You should tell me about the rest.’ In my case it was simple, I needed legal protection and he was the one who could provide it, but when the wheel turned, I often wondered what made him so determined to chase me down.
‘You were the only one who ever said no,’ his words hit me so very much differently than I ever thought possible, fueling the last bits of my pride. I was the only one to say no to the king. Yet my ego didn’t take long to burn down, as the flame of my newfound self-esteem was instantly flushed out ‘And I’m not going to let that go so easily.’
There was no way in between from now on, and I just realized that. No matter what I would do, he wasn’t going to soften up on me and risk his own ego.
‘Here,’ he pushed a thick notebook in front of me as I looked back at him, surprised that he even carried one around. ‘Write my classes.’
‘Can’t we just copy them on a xerox machine?’
‘No. I always lose papers, so I want them handwritten here.’
Of course, he did since finding a new way of torturing me was his favorite hobby.
‘Ok...ok. I’ll write them down for the both of us,’ I groused, taking out my notebook and preparing myself to write the essentials down in both. Although I knew that there had to be some trick to this, and I was to be proven right from the first minute the teacher started his lecture.
Cole’s hand magically slipped over the hems of my skirt, trying to find its way underneath it.
I guess it was just my luck that I was wearing a skirt so tight that his palm couldn’t fit beneath it. And still, he wasn’t one to give up so easily. Dropping our bags between us, he covered his arm to advance higher and higher, roaming the upper part of my leg.
I instantly recognized this for exactly what it was. If on the other time we managed to duck intrusive eyes, this time he was making sure his gestures won’t pass by unobserved. This was how Jenna fit in all of this, bringing my embarrassment to a whole different level.
‘Cole...,’ I whispered, begging him to stop.
‘Write,’ he ordered, pausing for a moment, yet continuing every time he noticed that I was falling behind with the notes.
I had to finish transcribing everything on paper in time or his hand would move, slowly reaching for that spot between my thighs. It was a cat and mouse game and he was enjoying my anxiety to its very last limit.
It was impossible to concentrate, but I wasn’t going to let him win, especially with Jenna keeping an eye on us out of curiosity.
My fingers were burning on the pen as all the lesson was coming together in the two notebooks, and the adrenaline rush was reaching ever heightening levels.
The skirt I had on was preventing him to reach the exact place he wanted, but it was just a matter of time before he would try to explore it again from underneath. And I wasn’t going to allow him to go there, especially as every second I could catch a break I was crashing into Jenna’s confused stare. Whatever he would do, she would notice and I was struggling with each minute spent for Cole not to put on a show.
The rest of the hour was a nightmare, a race against time and against my own powers. That is until the clock finally hit 12.
‘You did good, Mouse,’ he smiled like the devil he is while packing his bag as if nothing had happened. ‘You turned me on,’ he leaned to whisper in my ear, making sure to brush his lips against the erogenous zone of my neck.
What the hell was he even talking about since I didn’t even have the chance to say a word or do any kind of gesture except for that damn writing!?
