Oak arches a brow. “That may be so, but you are all too young to legally be here.”

Elias laughs. “Who the fuck gives a shit about legal? The academy is all about teaching everything that isn’t legal.”

A few of the students laugh, and I must admit he has a point. The law means nothing at SA. “Can’t argue with that,” I say. “How about we join you?”

“If you think you can handle it, old man,” Rizzo says.

Old man. It’s a pathetic attempt to wind me up. “You know I could kick your ass even after sinking two bottles of scotch, Rizzo.”

Rizzo laughs, sliding a bottle of vodka over to me. “Help yourself.”

I’m not going to say no to that, grabbing the bottle and pouring some into my now empty glass.

The waitress who Oak asked to keep the drinks coming approaches, placing a hand on his shoulder. She whispers something to him before placing a glass of whiskey in her hand.

Oak leans toward her and whispers something, giving her another fifty dollar bill. She nods and winks before heading off to get more drinks.

“So, how the fuck did you lot sneak off campus?” Oak asks.

Elias, as always, is the only one to speak up. “I’m afraid if we told you that, professor, we’d have to kill you.” What I would do to smack that fucking smirk right off his face?

Now and then, I glance at Adrianna, who is glaring at me hatefully. Ever since my first attempt to get her into bed, she’s icier than the fucking Antarctic.

“I’d like to see you try, Elias,” Oak replies. “A few have tried, none have succeeded.”

“Yeah right, old man.”

Adrianna’s nostrils flare as I refuse to let up, staring at her like a hungry animal staring at a steak it’s about to devour. She will be mine, one way or another.

“Dimitry,” Oak barks, forcing me to break my gaze.

His eyes widen. “What?”

“Did you forget what happened the last time you whispered something inappropriate to Miss Carmichael?”

I smirk as it’s clear Dimitry is trying to get into Eva’s pants, which Oak won’t like one bit.

“I haven’t said anything that Eva doesn’t want to hear,” Dimitry says, glancing at Eva. “Have I Eva?”

There’s a tension in the air, one you could cut with a knife. Eva stands. “I need to get some air.”

Dimitry says something to her, but she shakes her head and rushes away.

Oak’s eyes track her as she moves through the room. And within thirty seconds, he’s up and following her. The man has lost his shit over that girl. It’s inconsequential when I sleep with a student, but Oak is the principal. He’s the man in charge, so it’s risky getting close to her, especially considering the truth about his past with her parents.

I focus all of my attention back on Adrianna, knowing that there’s nothing I can do to stop Oak. He’s a big boy and has to work out this shit for himself. Her cheeks are flushed a pretty pink as she glares back at me, never once backing down.

“Relax, all of you. We’re just here to have a good time, too.” I can’t take my eyes off of Adrianna. “How are you doing, Miss Vasquez?”

“Fine,” she grits out, her nostrils flaring. “At least I was fine until you arrived.”

I arch a brow. “That’s not a very nice thing to say to your coach, is it?”

She glares at me with a fire that turns me harder than stone.

I groan, as all I want is to have her beneath me all night long and show her what she’s been missing.

Gav claps his hands. “As fun as this has been, I’m not all together comfortable drinking with underage kids in a bar. Now, all of you need to head back to the academy.”
