“We do nothing.”
“I don’t believe that,” I said, tightening my grip on his hand. “Doing nothing? That’s not who you are. I know that. You know that.”
He nodded, and sat back in his chair, letting out a long sigh as he closed his eyes. After a moment, he let out a short laugh.
“You’re right,” he said. “We’ll think of it this way. You’re the new Vivian. She’s the new Kat. What would Vivian do to get revenge on someone who’s a threat?”
My eyes widened at him.
“A threat?” I repeated. “That’s why you think she hates me so much? She thinks I’m a threat?”
“Yeah.” Elliot opened his eyes and turned his body to face me, raising his hand to cup my cheek. He ran his index finger along my jaw and then beneath my chin, lifting my head just so slightly as if to inspect my skin like it was some precious relic, something rare, fragile. “You’re not like the other girls.”
“Fuck you,” I laughed, sticking out my tongue to lick at his finger as it came to rest on my lip.
“Seriously,” he murmured, allowing me to curl my tongue around his index finger. “You’re smart, hot, kind ….” He smirked. “Well, most of the time.”
“Go on.”
Elliot leaned toward me, resting his left arm along the back of my chair. His scent flooded over me, and that alone was enough to dampen my pussy, tease my imagination. Fucking him and Pierre was a twisted fantasy, something my body wanted that I gave into. And it was everything, literally everything, I needed.
But having Elliot alone, to myself … that was something I still missed.
“You’re fierce,” he continued. “You’re brave. Honest. That’s why I love you, and that’s why you’re gonna beat her.”
My heart skipped a beat.
“You love me?” I whispered.
I expected him to crack some joke about how the words that slipped out of his mouth was an accident, backpedal that sacred sentiment. But instead, he leaned forward, and rested the side of his nose against mine, his forehead supporting my own.
“I love you,” he murmured. “I don’t know why, I don’t know how, but I love you, Kat. I’ve always loved you.”
I couldn’t help it. A smile spread across my lips just as tears nipped at my eyelids. Those words coming out of his mouth were my definition of bliss. Happiness. Whatever the fuck you wanted to call it, that’s what I felt.
“I love you, too,” I said. “And I hate her.”
“Then we’re on the same page,” Elliot replied, his lips brushing against mine, his breath smooth, minty, invading my lungs. “What do you want me to do?”
I waited a beat, then an idea popped into my head.
“What if we joined forces?” I said. “You want your family’s money back, and I want to help you get it. If anything, she needs to be put in her place. She can’t run this school forever, because then she’ll run our lives.” Elliot nodded. “We destroy her from the inside. Befriend her, earn her loyalty. Then show her where she stands.”
“You sound evil,” he purred, his teeth tugging lightly at my bottom lip. “I love it.”
I drew back from him, and stood up. The abrupt movement caused him to dip forward before steadying himself, realizing I had removed myself from his touch.
“Come on,” I said. “Let’s get out of here.”
“And go where?”
I reached out my hands and pulled him up to his feet. “Starts with ‘my’ and ends with ‘bedroom’.”
“Again?”
“We’ll go to my dorm room this time,” I said, winking. “There we can be alone. After that, we have some thinking to do.”
“I can think and fuck at the same time,” Elliot replied. “If that’s what you mean.”
