“I’ve missed you, Theo,” he murmured as his face got closer.
“If we are all done, may I leave?”
He stroked my cheeks, and a part of me jolted from the touch—the connection—while the other recoiled as bile made its way up my throat. “We were so good together.”
His lips touched mine, and every part of me froze. I was no longer staying still in wonder and awe but in desperation and anxiety.
“I’m sure your fiancée is waiting for you,” I managed to choke out without moving my lips. The last thing I wanted was for him to think I was kissing him back.
One of his hands found its way under my uniform blazer, trying to dig up my uniform shirt. “You know better than anyone that it’s a business deal.”
An unamused snort made its way out, and he pierced me with those chilling eyes. Maybe I let myself believe that, and I told myself that, for once, I was someone’s priority and that he kept me hidden because he cared.
It was all lies.
Will deepened the kiss and I felt nothing other than dread and discomfort. Lea would be proud of how wrong it all felt. Not satisfied with my answer, he held me and bit my lip hard. I groaned in protest, and he used the opportunity to slide his tongue into me.
Fight back.
I knew I couldn’t win the war I currently had on my hands, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t win this particular battle. I fisted his collar, and he took this as a sign that I was giving in, but instead, I pushed him back. His back hit the desk, and it infuriated him that I rejected him.
“Theodore,” he warned.
My chest was rising and falling rapidly. I needed to get out, but I was rooted in place.
“Keep your distance, or I’ll tell your father about us,” I threatened. I wouldn’t do it, but he didn’t know that. He had as much to lose as me. “I’ll tell the school. They might not believe me, but we both know the rumors will kill you before you even make a name for yourself.”
William just smiled as if he had accepted a challenge.
“I’ll see you on Monday, Theo.”
I ran out of the room before my bravery disappeared. My breathing was jagged as I made my way down the halls and to the student parking lot.
I needed to escape. This would all be over soon. I really should have let Lea come pick me up. I pulled my phone out, intending to get an Uber to come to pick me up. I could hide somewhere while it arrived, and hopefully Will didn’t come looking for me. He wouldn’t risk it if the staff was still at the school, and he had his reputation to worry about more than he did me.
I was too distracted that I didn’t hear the footsteps that followed me. Or the heat of an all-too-knowing stare.
The mocking whistle startled me, and my head turned back with a vengeance.
Sal stood behind me, the epitome of calm, cool, and collected. Those eyes were silently laughing at me.
“Where did my brave little lion go?” He smirked at my disheveled state.
I was still out of breath from running away from one predator, right into the arms of another.
“What do you want, Sal?” I questioned while taking a step back, but since I was by the steps, I was forced to take one down. Now I was forced to look up to the asshole.
He took a step forward, and I winced when he pulled one of his hands from the confinements of his pants pockets. His eyes flashed, but he didn’t drop his arm. A jolt went through my body as his thumb traced my bottom lip slowly. When he pulled back, there was blood on it.
Would he ask me about it? Would I lie?
My breath hitched when he brought his thumb into his mouth and licked the blood clean.
“That’s unsanitary,” I breathed.
Why would he do that? And why did my dick like it? My mind raced to try to remember if I had ever seen Sal with another guy. There were girls around him, they fawned over all the Zinnettis, but I couldn’t pinpoint the one that had been his.
“Did Henderson do that?” He got straight to the point. He cocked his head and raised a brow, waiting for my answer.
