I collapse in a heap on the bed the moment he stops, gasping for oxygen. My heart pounds frantically against my rib cage, as I don't even know how to feel. I turn over and stare up at the man who so roughly fucked my throat."Were you trying to kill me?" I spit, clutching hold of my throat and glaring at him.He chuckles softly. "Don't be so dramatic, Eva." He moves my hair back from my face and presses his lips to my mouth softly. "I'd never hurt you," he breathes.The tension in my muscles eases as I let him kiss me, feeling at ease by his declaration that he'd never hurt me. Even though it makes no sense, since he already has inflicted pain on me repeatedly, I understand what he means. He'd never push it further than I'd enjoy. Despite his rough treatment, I believe him with all of my heart. "Fuck me," I breathe as his lips move to my neck.He groans against my skin as he yanks me into his lap, forcing me to straddle his thick thighs. "Is that what you want?" He asks, allowing me t
He smirks as he nips my bottom lip with his teeth. "Patience, baby girl," he murmurs, teasing me as he plants soft kisses over my neck and down to my collarbone. "There's plenty of time to fuck like animals, but I want to explore everything that makes you tick, Eva." He bites my collarbone so hard I cry out, arching my back more. "How much pain you enjoy.""A-And do you have an answer?" I ask.The glint in his eyes is almost devilish. "It appears you enjoy pain as much as I enjoy giving it."He bites me again, and I moan as he does, enjoying being devoured by him. It's an odd sensation, enjoying pain along with pleasure. The perfect blend of it he gives me feels addicting."Please fuck me," I beg, trying to roll my hips under his immense weight. The need for friction is so consuming, as he keeps me pinned and immobile beneath him.Oak enjoys having me powerless. He enjoys having me begging him for it. I can see it in his eyes. "As you wish, baby girl." He draws his immense hips back a
As I walk toward leadership class with the seniors, each step I take is hesitant, knowing that Eva should be there. I haven't seen her since we had sex, as she didn't turn up for our class on Tuesday. It's now Friday, and I can only hope she turns up; otherwise, I'm going to hunt her down. I can't stand her avoiding me.My stomach flips as I notice her instantly, sitting in her usual seat, doodling on her notepad as she so often does before class. I can't help the smile that twists onto my lips the moment I see her, which both irritates and confuses me.I clear my throat and enter the room. "Morning, class," I say, keeping my eyes fixed on Eva, who, despite blushing a pretty crimson, doesn't meet my gaze. "Today, I want to discuss five different leadership styles." I turn to the board behind my desk and grab my marker pen, writing five words on the board.AuthoritarianParticipativeDelegativeTransactionalTransformationalI turn back to the class. "Which are the most common in the c
I return to the classroom, feeling chaotic.Henley's parents will visit within the day, and they will not be happy. This means I'll have to pay a settlement, even though they signed the agreement, which detailed that SA and its staff have no responsibility for death or injury caused by classmates. However, there is no reasoning with grieving parents, even if they often are only grieving the loss of an heir rather than a child.I run a school for the spawn of monsters, and money would assuage only a monster at the loss of a child.I run a hand through my hair and slump behind my desk.The class is quiet as they continue to work. Natalya stands after I return, placing the essay on my desk. "All done."I nod and wave my hand. "You may leave."The rest of the class isn't far behind until only Eva is left. She's a welcome distraction after the shit I just witnessed. She stands once we're alone and walks over to the desk, smiling hesitantly at me. "Here you go, sir."I growl, knowing she's
"Did I hear Alexander is taking you to the winter formal?" Adrianna asks, eyes glued to Natalya.Her cheeks flush as she nods. "Yeah, I'm not sure I have a choice.""Asshole," I mutter, glaring over at the cocky, inked bastard who has his eyes fixed on our table. "Why do you let him push you around?" I ask.Natalya just shrugs."Who are you going with, Eva?" Azira asks.I shake my head. "No one. I don't care about having a date." My stomach churns at the thought of attending the winter formal, when all I can think about is the man that runs this school. The man who fucked me in the classroom three days ago. It was so risky, especially after I had to lie through my teeth to my friends about where I disappeared on our night out. They were going crazy with concern and I was fucking the principal. "You?" I ask.Azira shakes her head. "Alek asked me as friends, so I said yes."Alek is one of the few decent guys I've met here. He's from Indiana, and his family is not exactly powerful, but t
I shake my head and draw my eyes away from Oak, listening as Adrianna rattles on about why she won't be attending the winter formal with anyone. She comes across as a girl who likes to shun society's expectations.Oak can't be jealous, as he can't take me to the dance. It's not like I've agreed to sleep with him, attend a dance with him. It's been a week since we had sex in his cottage, a week since he took my innocence. Ever since, he's kept his distance from me, which hurts. All he does is stare at me hungrily from afar."I can't believe it's less than two weeks until winter break," Azira says, shaking her head. "This semester has flown by.""Right. What will I do without you three?" Natalya asks."Do we have to go home for the winter break?" it's crazy that I didn't even want to attend this school at first, but now the prospect of returning to my parents for two weeks makes me sick to my stomach. I can't think of anything worse than going home for winter break.All three girls look
Eva."I came here because I have a serious question to ask you.""Is that right?" He asks, gently hitching the hem of my skirt until he can see my buck naked ass. "And do you often wear no panties when you want to ask serious questions?""Oak, please," I say, knowing that if I don't stop him now, I'll forget why the fuck I was here.He lets go and takes a step away, allowing me to turn to face him as he pushes a hand through his thick, dark hair. "What is it, Eva?"I bite the inside of my cheek. "Is it permitted for pupils to remain at the school during the winter break?"His brow furrows. "Not usually, no."My shoulders dip at his answer."Why do you ask?"I sigh heavily. "I don't want to go home."The corner of his lip twitches upward in an almost smile. "If I remember rightly, you didn't want to be left here six weeks ago." His head tilts. "What changed?"I roll my eyes at him. "If you're expecting me to say it's because of you, then you will be disappointed." I fold my arms over m
I'm not a skilled cook, but people have often complimented me on my lasagne, so that's what I've made for Eva, as well as a large helping of cheesy garlic bread.It's crazy that I'm nervous.This is the first time I'll be spending time with Eva, outside of a classroom setting or fucking her, even if that's where I want this night to end. I need to learn more about her, learn if she could want to ruin her parents as badly as I do.It's quite clear that I can't keep my hands to myself when it comes to her. Instead of fighting it, it's about time I found out if we could become partners in crime and complete my quest for revenge with her by my side.The only issue is that it means I need to reveal my true intent for her. Before I knew Eva, I had every intention of destroying her, along with her family. It's not a subject I wish to broach tonight, but over the two-week break with her, I'll have to come clean.I glance at the clock, noticing that it's a quarter past eight. My jaw clenches.
