Page 21 of Fortune Academy: Year Two
“Are you going to run, little pet?” he asked with a grin.
I shifted my weight to do just that. I wasn’t a match for the Dark Mage, at least not here, not on his turf under his terms.
I should have heard him whisper the spell, but when my nostrils flared as I was hit by the scent of roses and blood, it was too late. The Dark Mage disappeared, only to materialize at my side. He rushed me and I went tumbling to the floor with a squeak. He pinned both wrists over my head and leered down at me, clearly enjoying grating his hips into mine to keep me pinned. I went rigid when I realized he had a total hard-on right now.
“I’ll scream,” I threatened.
He laughed in my face. “Go ahead. See what good that’ll do you.”
Right, he probably spelled this room a long time ago to keep any and all sounds in his personal torture chamber locked up tight.
Rage built up within me and I tried to wedge my leg between his thighs to kick him in the balls. It had worked on Orion to get him off my case, didn’t see why the Dark Mage would be any different.
Except, where Orion probably couldn’t have imagined me being so unladylike, Hendrik clearly was expecting it. He slammed his shin down on my thigh, making me cry out, followed by the other one, leaving me spread-eagled beneath him as my face warmed with rage. “Get the fuck off me!”
He leaned in, pausing for dramatic effect. “No.”
I growled as I frantically tried to think of a way to get out of this mess. Hendrik had never outright attacked me. When Kaito heard of this…
Kaito. He had sway when it came to the students and their standing. Hendrik wouldn’t want to piss off a counselor.
“Are you trying to get yourself expelled? When Kaito hears of this, you’re going to be in deep shit.”
I didn’t expect the manic grin that spread across his face. Combined with his black eyes, Hendrik was downright terrifying up this close. And yet, I couldn’t deny a certain thrill he gave me as tingling spread through my body, radiating from where his skin touched mine as he kept my wrists pinned over my head. A sick part of me wanted to lick his lips just to see if it had the same effect on my tongue.
His gaze dropped to my mouth and he eased the pressure off of my thighs as he rolled his hips, pressing his erection directly over my skirt. The thin fabric did little to stave off the pleasure that wafted through me. “I fucking own Kaito,” he said with utter confidence. “I know he’s been helping you hide what you are, among other things. All I have to do is tell the Dean and you’ll both be sacrifice fodder.”
My blood ran cold. Sacrifice? “Wouldn’t we just be kicked out?” I asked, my voice going up a pitch.
He shook his head. “There’s no such thing as expulsion from the Academy for a demonspawn. If she finds out what you are, then you and your accomplice will be going down.”
I tried not to let panic take over as black spots sprinkled my vision. “You have no proof,” I insisted.
“Wrong,” he said, grinning. “I placed a bug in his office. Although, it’s unfortunate that I couldn’t risk recording audio, that takes a spell someone like Kaito might detect, but I have plenty of video.” He gave a low whistle. “I think it’s safe to say school counselors are not permitted to do the things I have on record.”
“Sick bastard!”
I didn’t have to ask how he even knew to bug Kaito’s office. The threads of our Virtue bond strengthened every day and I knew he felt it every time I was with Kaito. Whether he was willing to admit to it or not, he was drawn to me and my other Virtues. It wasn’t a subject I was ready to broach with him. I didn’t trust him to somehow exploit the ancient magic that pulled us all together. If he was using it to his advantage, I hoped it was a subconscious effort on his part.
Hendrik leaned in, his gaze flaring with desire. “I enjoyed watching you come for him,” he admitted.
“Did you jerk off to it?” What was I saying. Of course he did.
He didn’t answer, but his smug smile told me all I needed to know.
Fucking prick.
Hendrik had me, and he knew it. “What do you want?” I breathed, hating every moment of my humiliation. Even as he threatened me, I craved more of his electrifying touch and I squirmed underneath him. Knowing that he had watched me with Kaito only turned me on more.
Yeah, I was all kinds of fucked up in the head. If Hendrik hadn’t been one of my Virtues, I would have seriously been concerned about my mental health.
He obliged my unspoken need, grinding against me. I was horrified by the mewl that escaped my lips. “I want you to tell me what you are,” he said as he continued to rub against me. His onyx eyes took on a hooded lust that told me he was restraining himself from going a step further in his interrogation. “You can’t just be a demonspawn. You must have some other power to do this to me.” He panted as his pace quickened and I bit my lip as he threatened to make me unravel. “Tell me how you make me lose my ever-loving mind around you.”
I hissed in a breath when he adjusted my wrists, gripping both of them with strong fingers so his free hand could wrap around my throat. He leaned in close and looked as if he wanted to devour me.
I realized that Hendrik had been holding back from pursuing me, but now that I had cemented a second Virtue bond in place, the intense connection was driving him mad. “You feel it, don’t you?” I whispered against his mouth, delighting when his lips parted.
“Is it a spell?” he asked, sounding genuinely curious. “Because if so, it’s the strongest spell I’ve ever felt.” He flicked out his tongue to taste my bottom lip before gently biting. “I’ve never wanted to fuck one of my pets.”
