“You!” he yelled.
“Me?” Dexter squeaked.
“Come here,” Michael said a little more gently.
Michaelwrapped his wingaround Dexter protectively and started leading him out of the dining hall. I poked Matilda.
“Do you see that shit?”
Angelsneverdid the wing thing unless they cared about someone. So many girls at our high school wrote poems about Michael wrapping his wings around them. A few of them did stupid shit like try to faint around him to get him to do it. He never did until now.
“If Michael is into him, I approve. He kind of went the caveman way around it, but out of everyone at this academy, I like Dexter for him.”
Michael spun around with Dexter tucked under his arm.
“You aren’t my roommate anymore, Todd. Find someplace else to sleep. Who are you rooming with?”
Dexter told Michael his roommate situation and my idiot brother became a total hero in my eyes. He ran his hand over Dexter’s mohawk and let out a little growl.
“Not anymore. You’re rooming with me now. Let’s go get your things.”
Not even Kaylee said anything with an avenging angel in the dining hall. Todd could barely open his eyes and his nose was probably broken. Kaylee rushed over to him, but he jerked his arm away from her.
“This is allyourfault,” he hissed, stomping off toward the infirmary.
Kaylee’s eyes darted to me.
“No, this is allGeorge’sfault,” she snapped.
Great. Kaylee sicced her boyfriend on her roommate and it didn’t end well for him. That was somehow my fault. I didn’t regret a damned thing. I was pretty sure Dexter and I would be friends after this. Especially if my brother was into him. And no one deserved what Todd was trying to do to him.
But Kaylee had mostly left me alone aside from that one hex. It was about to get worse.

We all survived our first moon orgy. Barely. I’m sure the students didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, but George Bell picked her orgy spot literallyright outsidemy living room window. I’m sure she didn’t know that was where I lived or that I rarely slept, but still.
I was concentratingjust finewith all the noise outside until I sensed something pulling my gaze toward my window and it ended up being her. Icouldhave gone running out there like a mad person waving my arms and telling her she needed to do that somewhere else, but really? It was a moon orgy. One didn’t dictate where others fornicated. It would have looked bad.
And I was a vain god who hated looking bad.
I shouldn’t be lusting after my friend’s daughter. I was just supposed to be tutoring her. It was also very much all over the employee handbook that student-teacher relationships were forbidden. ReysonandLoki would beat my ass if they thought I did anything untoward with this girl.
I tried taking a cold shower. Icouldhave gone to my bedroom and watched television. Fuck, I could have left the realm entirely and gone home where I wouldn’t be tempted. I didn’t do any of that. I sat in the dark watching her while stroking my cock.
She was beautiful. She was a god, so that was expected, but she was gorgeous even for a god. And I couldn’t figure her out. She was due at my office for another tutoring session. I’d never let her know I watched her, and she fascinated me, but still, there were things she needed to know.
“I heard you turned the Krauss girl’s hair to snakes.”
“Oh, yeah. My mom taught me basic witch hexes in case I needed to mimic one. She was flinging a worse curse at me.”
That wasn’t even remotely what was so fascinating about all this.
“Are you aware the infirmary was able to remove it?”
She just shrugged.
“I saw her at lunch, but I hadn’t really thought about it.”
