“If she had this on you, that’s what she would do.” Luke sounds so confident.
“How do you know?” I search his eyes.
“Because it’s what I’d do, princess.”
Yeah, that’s a not-so-subtle reminder that Sidney is his equal. She’s willing to do what he’s willing to do. But he’s not with her. He’s with me. So maybe he doesn’t need an equal, at least not that way.
I’ll figure out a way to make Sidney give us the information and if she pushes, I’ll push back. But I’ll give her a choice first. That wasn’t all that was in the file, but it’s the most salacious.
I drop my gaze to my phone. Now isn’t a good time to bring up Penny. It’s a favor. Something he’ll see as a weakness. But damn it, I don’t need to be as hard as these guys to stand with them.
“What do you think Penny wanted?” I lift my gaze to his.
He shrugs and turns his head to look at the open door. “Don’t know. Don’t care.”
“Aren’t you at all curious? It’s not every day a girl works up the courage to ask Death a question.” I give him a little smile.
“The only girls who have approached me wanting a minute of my time...” He stops and searches my eyes. I hold my breath, waiting for the blow by blow. His eyes soften. “I’m sure you can figure out what they wanted.”
“Yeah.” I release my breath. He sent me his list. I’m not sure I’ll be able to look most of these girls in the eyes. Sure, the list of fucked is short, but not the blow job list. I kind of wonder what the girls got out of it. I enjoy it, but I know some girls don’t. And I can’t imagine Luke giving anyone power in that moment.
A little shiver races through me.
Mr. Flack comes in and shuts the door. “All right, class. Pop quiz. Clear off your desks.”
The whole classroom groans as we put everything away.
“Write fast, princess.” Luke winks before taking the paper from the person in front of him.
I take mine and focus on answering the questions. When Luke finishes after ten minutes, he walks up to the front of the class to turn it in. Mr. Flack straightens his glasses and gives Luke a stoic nod before taking the quiz.
Luke leans in close and says something. Mr. Flack nods and pushes one of the bathroom passes to Luke. Luke smiles as he heads to the door, looking back at me.
Okay, maybe I get why a girl would do anything for Luke Foster. It’s not hard to picture. I cross my legs and focus on finishing the rest of my quiz. When I finish, I walk to the front and turn in my quiz.
“Ms. Davidson.” He nods.
“Excuse me, but could I use the bathroom pass?” Another female voice fills the space before I even have a chance to open my mouth.
I turn to see one of Luke’s many blow job girls standing there. Sure, I’ve known her for years as Mary, but now all I can imagine is her on her knees doing exactly what I was about ready to do.
She gives me a nod as she takes the other pass.
Fuck. I hope Luke isn’t waiting in the girls’ bathroom. I also hope he isn’t just going to grab me, or I guess poor Mary now. But she might like that.
I let out a huff of breath before returning to my seat.
Me:
Abort. I couldn’t get the pass.
Luke’s phone buzzes in his bag. Okay, now I’m really curious how this will play out. I mean, he’ll know it’s not me. Mary is shorter with bigger breasts and hips than me. She’ll be shocked to find him in the girls’ bathroom.
Unless he’s waiting in the hallway, which would make more sense.
He doesn’t come back in right away. Okay, maybe not in the hall?
About five minutes pass and then Mary comes back in. She definitely doesn’t look freshly ravished. So, that’s good. Maybe he’s still waiting for me.
