Plus, there was a time and place for sweet and gentle and itwasn’tduring a clandestine fuck in an empty classroom on a teacher’s desk. This called for passion and we both needed to feel a little dirty afterwards.
So, I thrust hard and fast, but not too rough because I wasn’t an arsehole. I loved every minute and based on her cries, she did, too. She shoved her hand in her mouth again, but I couldn’t bear her marring that beautiful skin with teeth marks, so I moved her hand and replaced it with mine. Let her bite me instead.
We built up to something beautiful and I wasn’t going to last much longer. My nuts were tightening, and I was thinking all kinds of gross thoughts to stop from cumming. I felt Sage flutter and then clamp down on my cock as she came.
That was when I finally let go. I saw stars. I saw the whole fucking universe being born it was that intense. It was perfect. She wasmine.I could have laid on this desk inside her for the rest of my life.
But this was our lunch break and my girl needed to eat. She needed to eat more than any girl I’d ever been with. I helped her off the desk and kissed her forehead.
“Let’s get you to the dining hall and fed.”
Sage ran her finger along my chin.
“You ever think we are made for each other?”
Yeah. All the time. She was perfect for me. But now, food.
Iwasn’t quite thinking of the supernatural sense of smell when I decided to have sex with Liam in a classroom. I didn’t regret it. Blue Matthews would be so ashamed, but I wasn’t really his daughter, so I didn’t care. It was amazing, and I’d do it again.
As soon as we joined Lucian and Khalid at the table, Lucian’s nostrils flared and Khalid’s eyes flashed amber. Oops.
“I take it you enjoyed yourself?” Khalid asked.
“She’d better,” Lucian said.
“Who do you take me for? I take care of my lovers,” Liam said.
“He really does,” I said. “Okay, that’s adorable.”
Ivar had Iman draped across his shoulders and was hand feeding her bits of meat. I held my hands up when she hissed at me for calling her cute. Ivar shoved another piece of meat at her and she happily resumed eating.
I had that weird feeling again. The dining hall disappeared, and I was in the forest we did the trials in. The scream overtook me again, but I didn’t pass out this time. I wiped the lone tear out the corner of my eye.
Someone was dead.
I looked to Khalid because whoever it was should have gone to him. But Khalid was sitting there alert.
“Whoever it was must have gone to Professor Gefn. She seemed convinced she should have gotten Kira and now that I’ve looked into it, she’s right. Kira was a warrior and Freya got half the warriors slain in battle.”
“Quick, look around. Who’s missing?” Lucian asked.
Most everyone had frozen in their seat when I screamed. Even if they weren’t raised supernatural, they knew what it meant by now. We were trying to account for everyone as people were getting up to check on their friends.
Liam and I were late getting to lunch, so there were a lot of people who would have already finished lunch. Off the top of my head. Adrian and his team were missing, but so was Lola, Mazen, and Radames.
Radames usually ate and disappeared, so that wasn’t unusual. Lola seemed like she enjoyed holding court with her minions, so her not being here was weird. I didn’t think it was odd Mazen wasn’t here. I knew he was looking into what happened to Erica.
Adrian being missing wasn’t unusual, either. I didn’t like the guy, but there was a campus rugby league he’d immediately signed up for. Adrian and his friends usually ate and then went outside to practice.
I had that feeling again. The only person who was usually here and wasn’t was Lola. She was a victim. She was one of the first victims and it just made sense she was the only one who was around to tell anyone anything to incite violence against Alexios.
So, why was I feeling more and more that Lola was more involved in all the death and disappearances than just being a victim of it? Was this some magical sense I needed to be paying attention to or was I just being petty because I didn’t like her that much? I didn’t like how she dismissed the professors, how she kept touching Liam after he asked her not to, or even how she was treating Mazen.
Did that make her one of the Forsaken Ones? And if it did, who was the other one? She didn’t beat herself.
Professor Adamastus approached our table.
“You. To Headmaster Mykene’s office.”
