My lips twitch, a smile wanting to break free, but I don’t let it. This is the kind of thing I’ve missed with Fallon. She’s the only person I know who’s willing to go toe to toe with me. There’s no fear, no hesitation, no embarrassment. Most girls would cringe talking about sex publicly, but not her.

She gets off on this back-and-forth shit between us.

Anna stands then, stepping into Fallon. “Wow. You have no shame, do you?”

“Nope,” Fallon replies, slipping past her and dropping down into the seat next to me. “Now, what was that about taking the trash out?”

She grabs the bag Anna dropped on the floor and tosses it across the room. The contents spill all over the hardwood, and Anna’s cheeks flush cherry red while her eyes fill with humiliation.

“I’m going to the head teacher. Bennett will never let this kind of shit stand.” Anna huffs, throwing her arms across her chest.

“Actually, you’re right. Let’s go together.” Fallon grabs her bag again, tossing it over her shoulder and stalks towards the door. She flicks her gaze to mine with a wide smile. I let out a low chuckle, slowly standing from my chair. She’s too much at times, but man, if I don’t fucking love it. “Come on. You too, Teddy.”

Anna, as I’ve learnt her name to be, takes the lead, striding down the hallway with her head held high despite the humiliation she felt only minutes earlier.

If anyone asked me what the hell I was doing right now, the only answer I could give is that I don’t have a fucking clue.

Something snapped in me when I saw her sitting next to him in the classroom. A tight feeling in my chest, not the ache I felt the other week seeing her in photos with them; this is something else.

Not envy.

Not even jealousy.

Possession.

When Theodore brushes past me, his hand grazes mine and a shiver runs through my body. The words we spoke in that classroom shouldn’t have me burning up; yet I am.

The reminder of those interactions hit me harshly, small sparks of pleasure running over me with each memory.

We reach Bennett’s door, and Anna knocks twice like a teacher’s pet. Rolling my eyes, I shove past her, knocking her shoulder on the way and pushing the door open. He’s on the phone, but he eyes me curiously.

Two secs, he mouths, finishing his call. I plonk down on one of the chairs opposite him and wait for the other two members of this merry band to join me.

Anna takes the seat beside mine, while Theodore leans against the wall with his arms over his chest and that infuriating fucking smirk on his lips. He’s loving every single second of this shitshow.

Smug bastard.

“Right, what’s this about?” Bennett asks, placing the phone down and moving his eyes over the three of us.

Neither Theodore nor I speak, instead we let Anna tell him everything. And she tells him everything. I try not to visibly cringe when she tells my cousin—who’s more like a big brother —about me sucking Theodore’s cock, or about me choking on it.

His face stays impressively blank, though, there’s a slight flicker at the corner of his mouth when she finishes. “And apparently he tied her to her bed.”

“Is that so?” His eyes lock on Theodore then, narrowing slightly before they move back to Anna. “And what would you like me to do about any of this?”

Her face wrinkles in frustration. “You’re supposed to punish them?”

“For what?” he asks, holding her stare blankly before turning to me with a sly smirk. “Students having sex isn’t against the rules. And by the sounds of it, I don’t need to worry about punishment. Theodore seems to have that all figured out.”

Oh, good lord. What on earth have I done?

Please let the ground open up and swallow me whole.

“But she threw my stuff across the room, surely she should be in trouble for that,” Anna whines, glaring at me as she speaks.

“I will talk to Fallon,” Bennett says, placating her with a kind smile, but the unspent humour in his eyes tells a different story. “But otherwise, you may leave. And maybe in the future, don’t try and get in between whatever mess these two have found themselves in.”

She huffs, spinning on her heels in indignation before stomping out of the room.
