Theo frowned down at her, trying desperately to keep his gaze from lowering to her lips and mentally kicked himself.“Why would Cassy be here?” He whispered.I don’t fucking know, but she’s with the damn security guard!" Lucy whispered urgently. "We can't let them catch us."“What the fuck is she doing with him?” He frowned, struggling to wrap his head around the situation. Of everyone that might have caught them in the act, Cassandra had not figured too high on his list.Lucy moved slightly to peer through the blinds as unobtrusively as she could, careful not to cause too much movement in case it drew their attention but the scene that unfolded before her eyes made her realize that she hadn’t needed to worry too much.Cassandra was bent over the desk, her shoulders over the edge with her breasts hanging freely as the security guard thrust his cock in and out of her mouth, one hand holding her in place as he forced himself down her throat and the other alternating between slapping her
“Did you intend to invite Theo as your plus one for the party or was that a spark of inspired genius on your part thanks to the forced proximity in the storage cupboard?” Maia asked dryly as Lucy shut the door to her apartment behind her.“It just sort of happened,” Lucy sighed as she kicked her shoes off and made her way over to her bed, throwing herself down with a relieved sigh, “Maybe it was because we got in and out without being discovered…”“If it wasn’t for Theo we probably would have been discovered,” Maia grumbled, “You know, we should really focus on training these skills, who knows when they might come in handy again because let’s face it, we don’t know if we’ll be able to prevent Theo’s disappearance.”Lucy grimaced as she reached for the files she had thrown beside her.“Don’t be such a pessimist, Maia. I have faith in us. If we can change our fate, there's no reason we can’t change his too…whatever happened to him.”Maia grumbled in response and curled herself away in t
Despite the careful inquiries that Lucy made during the week regarding the security guard she had seen with Cassandra, she didn’t find out anything meaningful so, for now at least, she decided to let it rest.For the rest of the week, she spent her spare time carefully planning her outfit for the party that she had received an invite for, and doing a little more digging for information about the hosts.It was a hot topic on campus right now anyway so finding things out wasn’t too difficult. All Lucy had to do was slide into a seat at the cafe close to where some of the local sorority girls were gossiping happily, and eavesdrop on their conversation whilst pretending to be utterly engrossed in the book she was reading.As usual, Theo made sure that he plied her with more than enough food while she was there, despite her protests.“So, did you find out anything interesting from the resident tabloids?” Theo smirked, sidling over to where Lucy sat as soon as the girls had paid their tab a
Lucy checked her reflection in the mirror one more time and nodded in satisfaction as she spritzed her pulse points with her favorite perfume.“Was it really necessary to go to all this effort?” Maia sniggered.“Abso-fucking-lutely,” Lucy grinned as she reached for the crimson lipstick, neatened the edges on her mouth and popped it into her clutch bag.“I thought you might say that.” Maia retorted matter of factly, “So, it’s a definite yes with Theo then?”Lucy frowned as she fluffed her hair up and slipped her shoes on, trying to ignore the butterflies that had suddenly appeared in her stomach as she waited for Theo to arrive.“We’ll see. I mean, I definitely like him, which is weird because I don’t remember our feelings ever progressing to this stage, he was like my brother more than anything.”“Well, perhaps it really is the Goddess’s way of giving us another option,” Maia mused, before her eyes twinkled with a mischievous light, “Besides, I can almost guarantee that Noah is going
Lucy glowered furiously at Noah after he had spoken and Maia’s anger at his audacity only infuriated her further.“Does this fucker not ever take a hint?! How dare he!?” she raged inside her head, “Let me out! Let us shift and I’ll put him in his bastard place!”“There’s nothing more going on between us than there always has been. We’ve been friends since childhood, why the fuck are you so paranoid?” Theo snapped as Noah’s whirling irises turned to focus on him.“I shouldn’t need to talk to you about this again Theo. I warned you last time, and I’m warning you now, Lucy is off limits, and if you had any respect for me as your Alpha…”“You’re not my fucking Alpha, Noah, and you never will be,” Theo spat, “You’ve always had an overinflated sense of self-importance and honestly, I’m sick to death of hearing you talk this way. Lucy is her own person and she can make her own decisions.”Lucy watched Cassandra’s reactions closely as Theo and Noah bickered, and that look that she now recogni
Caspian and Lucy made their way through the throng of people and up the stairs, looking for somewhere that was unoccupied and out of the way to minimize the risk of Cassandra finding them and overhearing their conversation.They checked room after room on the third floor until finally, Lucy poked her head into a room and she turned to Caspian with excitement.“I think we should be ok in here, and as a plus point, there’s a bar, so we can grab a drink in here,” She grinned.They shut the door behind them, admiring the decor as they turned the lights on and took a seat at the bar.“This all feels very high class, you know,” Caspian laughed nervously.“Well, we’re high class people now then I guess, ” she grinned back.“Let me make you a drink.” Caspian offered, “I’m not much of a bartender but I did take a short course in mixology just to try to impress an ex-girlfriend.”“Did it impress her?”“Probably not enough, honestly…she’s an ex for a reason.” He grimaced as he moved behind the b
Cassandra had slipped away from Theo while he was busy chatting to a group of his classmates as he grabbed their drinks.She had explicitly told Theo to take Lucy upstairs somewhere quieter and to look for a room with a bar. Once he had her inside, she had told him that she would make sure that he had the opportunity to seduce her.He had resisted heavily at first, but reminding him of the position he was in with a few pictures of his sister and the men she had left her with was enough to convince him that if he didn’t go through with this, his sister would be on the receiving end of what she had planned for Lucy.Even when he had asked her how she planned to do that, she had refused to answer, just shrugging lightly and telling him that Lucy had a poor tolerance for alcohol and she would most likely come on to him and make it abundantly obvious that she wanted him.She smiled to herself as she pushed her way through the throng of people and up the stairs, stopping outside of the door
As the small group of them made their way up the stairs, Theo’s voice called out above the music towards Cassandra and she froze.She knew for a fact that he would try to think of a way to defend Lucy and her actions, but there really wasn’t any rational explanation that he could offer that would excuse her from the situation Cassandra had set up.She wondered whether or not it was a good idea for him to come with them, but perhaps this would be the push that he needed to finally turn away from that uppity little bitch.“Theo!” Cassandra waved, gesturing for him to head over.He and Noah exchanged scowls as he passed and Cassandra felt, rather than heard, the low rumbling in the air around them resulting from Noah’s warning growl.“Where did you all disappear off to? I turned around and you were gone. Then I tried to find Lucy and Caspian and I couldn't seem to find them anywhere,” Theo frowned.“Yeah, I tried to find them as well so I went looking for them in case they had gone somew
