"Oh well. That is all I came for. I am sorry I scared you by dropping in unannounced like this, but I have been putting it off for the longest time, I just had to get it out of the way." Daisy says, her face is clouded over with disappointment and hurt. She sees my hesitation to accept her apology as sincere, and she doesn't seem to like it.Well, tough fucking luck. How am I supposed to just believe her wholeheartedly after that stunt she pulled? She really seemed unhinged that day. I was genuinely scared for my life as I did the walk of shame down their street. My entire body shook with my fear. Her outburst gave me PTSD for weeks. It has been how long since then? Four? Five? Six weeks? Is that long enough for such a change in character? I don't know and I don't care to find out. "Wow." I say. I slip my shaking hands in my pockets. "Yeah." Daisy gives me a small self conscious smile. She parts her shiny hair, pushing a lock behind her ears, I note the nervous gesture. I don't eve
Zane Orion's POV::I should have just cancelled this class. I think about it for the hundredth time as the clock ticks away slowly. I prepared a class activity where I put the entire class in groups of five each for a quick presentation lasting three minutes maximum. The last group is almost done, I can't continue stealing glances at my watch. My lack of concentration is apparent and I know the students are aware and hence not taking their presentations as serious as they should. But I can't even be bothered. I will ask them to score themselves and collate the marks. I do my utmost best to avoid Alex. It is impossible. Her group was the first to do their presentation, she seemed like her normal self, gorgeous, fucking erotic without even being aware of it. No inkling of guilt whatsoever about what she did. Running away from my office after we had sex last week Friday. Today is Tuesday. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it for five days now. When I returned with the warm
Alex POV:Zane pulls my chin up with his thumb, and his mouth crashes against mine in the next second before I can even take in a deep breath to prepare. He kisses me long and hard, deepening the kiss without any preamble, his tongue find solace in my mouth, I try to match his fervour but it is a losing battle, I am unfairly outranked, the kiss is so passionate, it takes my breath away. Squeezes me absolutely dry of it. He crushes me against his body, hard lines molding against my soft ones. Fiery passion erupts in my core before I can remember where we are. Right in front of the class. Exposed. Open. Reckless. Dangerous. Anyone could walk in. I don't even know if Claire locked the door behind her. Knowing that crazy bitch, she might even be lurking at the door. I don't think Maggie would be around to save my ass this time around. I push at his chest, trying to pull away from the kiss, but Zane wraps a hand behind my neck, the other around my waist, holding me tight and secure aga
My back is against the wall, my legs wrapped tight around his waist as he pumps wildly inside me. I have never had him be this out of control, he thrusts with a dizzying kind of hunger. Leaving me grasping on to illusions, fairy lights exploding behind my eyes as I try to hold on. But my grasp on reality slips regardless. I can't keep up. We are both moaning loudly, not a single care in the world. And I love it. I love who I become when I am with him. And I like who he becomes when he is with me. It has been almost three months of knowing him, I can totally see the difference. Claire is not wrong in believing he gives me special treatment. He does. And he doesn't even care to be subtle about it. As reckless as that is, I love it too. It feels good to be treated specially for once. It feels very nice. I can't even be modest about it. "You remember now?" Zane grunts against my lips, his hips working tirelessly as he thrusts into me, he switches the angle but never the tempo, I feel
"Daisy? Why?" The tension is apparent in Zane's features, the switch up is scaring me. It drags me off my orgasmic high cleanly. "She came to my hostel last Friday." I try to sound cool about it but I hear the trembling in my voice. "What? Are you okay? What did she do?" Zane jumps off the desk, he looks me over with a pained look on his face, I am touched by his concern but it also scares me. He obviously knows Daisy better than I do, so if he is this worried about her visit, I should be too. "I am fine. Relax." I attempt a chuckle, but Zane doesn't return the smile, he doesn't even acknowledge my plea for him to relax. His hazel eyes darken behind their deep sets, he doesn't look pleased at all. "What the hell though, Alex? It is Tuesday! How come you didn't tell me immediately?" Zane pulls a hand through his hair. His entire body is tensed, I can't reconcile this man with the one that just fucked my brains out and wiped me dry after with a kiss. He seems entirely different. Wh
Zane Orion POV::By the time Alex tells me about Daisy asking her if we were dating, I had heard enough. My blood boiled with barely contained rage. Daisy was sending a message to me. But she has crossed the fucking line. Messing with Alex like that. Alex puts on a brave face talking about how surprised she was to see her at her door, but I can tell she was very shaken. Every single new detail that she adds only makes me angrier. On the surface, Daisy's visit could have come off as innocent, but I know her, nothing is ever as it seems with Daisy. I don't want to alarm Alex by asking her if she can move out of her dorm room and stay off campus so Daisy can't trace her location, but it is something I feel very strongly about. I suddenly feel very anxious about Alex moving around on campus. Daisy is at the teaching hospital but she has shown that the distance is not an issue. "So, I didn't know what to think and believed I should tell you first." Alex says, she straightens her back so
Alex POV:I decide to walk back to my hostel instead of taking the shuttle. I am pumped full of a mix of conflicting emotions. Extreme happiness. Zane just sort of kind of made our relationship official. It is crazy to even think about. I have to keep the squealing voice in my head suppressed with all my mental strength, it almost makes me dizzy. Extreme anxiety. Zane believes his ex-wife is a psychopath. That is the only explanation. Because in spite of the evidence to the contrary, a part of me can't seem to grasp the fact that Daisy's visit wasn't all innocent. She came to check in us through me. Hence that last question. I don't know what is scarier; that I could be gullible enough to let her in and believed her wholeheartedly, or that she still had me in mind after all these weeks. That she knew my hall of residence, up to my room number. And she actually showed up with that whole innocent repentant charade. Then more bliss. From the sex against the wall. Zane was dark and do
"Alex," Maggie moves fast ahead so she is facing me, and she walks backward, "Give me the full story. I literally just saved your life, Claire would have torn into you, both figuratively and literally, that bitch is crazy. I think I deserve as much." She says, her eyes narrowed comically at me. "What full story?" I say, doing the worst deflection I could manage. I yawn, Maggie frowns at me. "Don't you dare give me that." Maggie says, she grabs me by the shoulders and shake. I just laugh. I am deliriously tired that my dread at the possibility of Claire seeing us kiss, or how dangerous my recklessness was, diminishes. I will freak out about this later. I just need to lay down now. My body is still reliving my explosive orgasm. "Okay. I will tell you, though I have to warn you, there isn't much to it anyway." I say as we walk around the bend that brings my hall of residence to view. Maggie's dorm is down the road. A few blocks after mine. "Fuck that. That is what you always say. Wh
