Pen
The following week things at the Academy go relatively smoothly. Beast keeps me informed about Lena, and so far no one’s attempted to kill her. However, there have been a few horny teenagers who’ve got too close and been given a boot up the arse. I couldn’t help but chuckle when Lena complained about her lack of pulling powers on the phone to me last night. Little does she know that there are two very capable men scaring off potential suitors. Good. She needs to concentrate on her studies anyway. She’ll totally thank me for it later.
York, Zayn and I hang out when we can. Being together again is still all so new, and since our talk last week, they’ve both backed off a little in the touchy-feely department. It’s not that I don’t want their kisses and their attention that way, because I really fucking do, but we’re trying to build our trust and friendship, and right now being intimate has taken a backseat to that.
“So, erm, how’s Dax and Xeno?” I ask tentatively, taking a sip of my coffee and peering at them both from behind my rather large coffee mug. It’s Thursday morning, and we’re sharing a table in the canteen grabbing a drink before lessons start for the day. I’m shattered from a week long dose of rehearsals for the end of year performance and really fucking exhausting dance classes. This week Madame Tuillard seems to have turned up the heat beneath all our teachers, and every lesson has been full on, sweat-dripping, muscle-shaking torture. I love it though. “Guys?” I prompt when they don’t answer right away.
York glances at Zayn then pulls a face. “Dax is being a stubborn bastard, and Xeno is being…difficult.”
I sigh. “Yeah, I get it.”
Zayn reaches across the table and grabs my hand. “They’ll come around, Pen.”
“Who’scoming?” Clancy asks, her eyes bright and her grin wide as she and River slide onto the bench next to me. This girl’s got a one track mind.
“We were just talking about—”
“Comingto Chastity Nightclub with us tomorrow night?” she interrupts, looking at me and smiling broadly. Is she asking them to join us or just fucking with them? She finds it highly amusing when they go all alpha possessive, and loves to wind them up at every possible opportunity. Clancy knows that us going clubbing without them is a sure-fire way to do that.
“You’re going clubbing tomorrow?” Zayn asks, looking between the three of us. I see a flicker of possessiveness flash across his eyes before he covers it up with a smile. Part of me is turned on by his jealous streak, the other part is appalled. I’m all for girl power and I’ve never been one for letting a man tell me what I can and can’t do. Though, seeing he cares enough to feel jealous does something to me.
“It’s Clancy’s birthday—” I explain.
“Count us in then!” York grins widely, raising an eyebrow at Clancy and daring her to object.
“Sure thing, partner, though don’t expect me to get you into the VIP area too. You’ll just have to use your charms. River, Pen and I already have a nice spot waiting for us.”
“Is that so?” York asks, staring at me with raised brows.
“Yup,” River confirms, grinning. Urgh, he and Clancy are a nightmare. “Clancy tells me it’s a themed club. Better get your leathers, whips, and handcuffs ready, Pen.”
“Wait, what?!” I snap, narrowing my eyes at them both. They better be pulling my leg. I am not going to some dodgy sex club. Then I remember Clancy’s dad is paying for our night out, and I relax. There’s no way he’d be up for covering the cost for us to go to a sex club.
“Don’t worry, River. I’ll make sure I come prepared,” I say, playing along.
Both York and Zayn make a kind of growling noise that has Clancy and River cackling and my lip twitching with mirth.
“Hey, girl. I’m gonna need you to bring the leash too…” Clancy gives me a quick peck on the cheek then grabs River and runs. Oh my god, she really does love to stir up shit. I shake my head at her as she walks away. She just throws me a kiss over her shoulder. “Love you,” she mouths.
“What?” I ask when I finally make eye contact with York and Zayn.
“Chastity Nightclub, eh?” York asks, cocking his head and dragging his thumb over his bottom lip. Why the fuck is that so sexy? Is there some secret club where boys go to learn sexy stuff like this or do they just go on TikTok and pick up all the lip biting, hair stroking, and eyebrow arching intense shit from there? I take another mouthful of coffee for something to do, because all of a sudden the air has got thick with sexual tension.
“Uh huh, she’s turning twenty and wanted to do something fun.”
“Fun? I’ve heard about that nightclub,” Zayn says, toying with his own mug of coffee as he runs his finger around the rim. He smiles, baring his hot as fuck chipped tooth at me. In fact, they’re both looking at me so intently that my cheeks start to heat.
“It’s no big deal, just a few drinks and dancing the night away. Youshouldcome.”
“Oh, Titch, you really don’t know, do you?”
“Know what?”
“Itisa sex club.”
Zayn grins, looking at York as they both stand. “I’ll bring the handcuffs, you wanna bring your truncheon?”
