“If you bring up waterboarding again…” I warned her, getting a bottle of water.
She shook her head. “I honestly don’t know what the point is. I could put my headphones and my eye mask on?” she offered.
“There’s really no need. We’ve fucked each other out of our systems.”
Florence rolled her eyes. “I mean, clearly not, but…”
I pulled the door open again and leant down to pass Valen the water. His eyes darted down my top. I assumed he was copping a look at the goods on display…until his eyes narrowed. His hand shot out and grabbed my wrist to stop me standing back up.
“What is wrong with you?” I asked.
“Where the fuck is my cross?” he snarled, and it sent a pleasant tingle of anticipation shooting right through me.
My free hand went to my neck, and I suddenly remembered the whole deal before the party.
“I forgot to put in on again after my shower,” I told him. “I was late, and Florence needed the bathroom.”
His eyes narrowed further. “You forgot?”
I nodded. “Yes, Valen. I forgot. I forget a lot of things.”
He let my arm go and I stepped back. He stood up swiftly and boxed me against the wall. Oh, how I wished we weren’t in the middle of the girls’ dorm hallway. At least no one else was around.
“Do ye now?”
I swallowed hard but nodded.
“And did youforgetwe’d fucked each other out of our systems, or do ye need another reminder?”
Um, yes, please. I would love another reminder. But I couldn’t tell him that.
“I’m fine.” I wasn’t.
He raised one of my hands above my head with the arm he wore his cuff. He left it in line with my eyes, and I saw the flash of silver chain hiding under it that belonged to my cross. His other hand went to my hip, and it seared my skin through the fabric of my pyjamas. I wanted him closer. I needed him closer. And I couldn’t fucking have it.
“Then ye won’t forget to wear my cross again, will ye?” he asked, his voice low as he dipped his lips to my ear.
I wanted very badly to argue with him, remind him that I wasn’t an object he could just order around, but I also wanted him to order me around. I wanted him to want me to wear his cross. It was the closest we could ever come to meaning anything and I didn’t want that to change.
“No, Valen,” I told him. “I won’t.”
And I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t even take it off to shower if that was going to risk me forgetting to wear it.
“Good. No go inside and put it on. Now.”
“What will you do if I don’t?” I sassed.
“Be very thankful,” he said slowly, “that Florence is in there.”
“Why?” I asked, my clit tingling and my nipples tightening. “Because otherwise you’d punish me?”
He pressed his very hard erection into my heated pelvis. “Yes.”
I arched my back to press against him. “Even though we’re over?”
“You will always be mine,” he said so quietly I was sure he hadn’t meant to.
He finally pulled away from me and looked deep into my eyes. My heart hitched in my chest and my stomach tightened and fluttered in a totally different way. I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how I felt. Here we were, supposed to be over and done and out of each other’s systems, but it definitely didn’t feel like it. And it felt like we both felt the same.
