“Thank you. Wish me luck with my speech.”
“Good luck,” she was quick to say, and I shot her another grin as I backed away from the desk before turning on my heel and exiting the building.
Outside, I had to drag Tristan away from some girl he was leering all over, and once we were safely inside the car, I turned to him. “What did you find out?”
“Most of the girls I spoke to recognised her. Said she never fit in at the school. She was a loner, and they said they didn’t think she had any friends.”
Something in my chest fucking twisted at his words. I could picture Elena here far too easily, alone, away from everything she knew. And then she’d gone through it all again this year, except she’d gone from this shithole to the fucking elite. Where did she fit in?
“They said she was only here for a year. But you knew that already, didn’t you?”
I nodded slowly. “I had my suspicions. But I needed them to be confirmed. Now they are, and I need to check out some other shit.”
“For what it’s worth, whatever suspicions you have about her, she’s hot as fuck.”
I laughed, steering the car back into traffic, following the satnav and pointing it towards Nottswood. “Yeah. Looks aren’t everything, though.”
“They are,” he argued. “You’re under the same roof. Make the most of it.”
Instead of replying, I turned the music up. There were some things I didn’t want to share, even with my best friends, and whatever was going on between Elena and me was one of those things. No one needed to know how fucking sweet she tasted, how she looked when she came apart underneath me, the way she wasn’t afraid to challenge me, to fight back, like no one ever had before.
How the fuck did I reconcile all that with the information I’d just found out?
The only thing I could do was to keep digging, until I’d uncovered every one of her secrets.

ELENA
Iheld the piece of paper in my hands, confirming what I’d already been told. I’d passed my driving theory test. Now, I just had the practical test to go at the end of the week, and if I managed to pass it, I’d officially be classed as a driver.
For some reason, all I wanted to do was to tell Knox. He shouldn’t have been on my mind. My mum should have been the person I wanted to tell, but she wasn’t.
Maybe it was the memory of him with his head on my pillow and the book propped open in front of him while he read out questions in his smooth, sexy voice. Even during the test, my mind had gone back to that moment.
Or maybe he was just stuck in my head. Permanently. And he shouldn’t be.
I got back to the Ashcroft mansion at the same time as Knox pulled up. He was driving the Nissan Juke for some reason instead of his Maserati.
After I’d said my goodbyes to my instructor and reconfirmed tomorrow’s driving lesson, I found Knox waiting for me outside the front door.
“Guess what. I passed my theory test, and my instructor pulled some strings so that I could have my practical test at the end of the week. There was a cancellation or something.” I was aware I was babbling while he just stood there, unnaturally still and completely silent, but I couldn’t seem to make myself shut up. “So maybe you’ll only have three more days of driving me to school.”
That sentence shocked him out of his stupor. With a growl, he closed his fingers around my wrist and yanked me into him.
“You’re coming with me.”
He dragged me inside, and I definitely wasn’t complaining. No matter how ill-advised this situation between us was, after our interactions, I craved more. I wanted everything he would give me.
We made it up to his room, and the second the door had closed behind us, he was pushing me up against it, grinding his hard length into me, making me gasp into his mouth as he attacked me with hot, hungry kisses. His hands gripped my ass, pulling me even closer, and before I knew it, he had me stripped out of my school uniform, leaving me in just my skimpy underwear.
Taking a step back, he stared at me, his gaze raking over my body as he palmed his cock over his trousers. The heat in his eyes set me on fire, and I launched myself at him, ripping at his clothes until he was pressed up against me with his godlike body on full display.
I could barely get the words out I was so fucking gone for him. “Knox. Need you.”
“Fuck, baby. You’re so fucking hot.” His low growl vibrated across my neck as his hands went to my back, undoing the clasp of my bra and then sliding lower, removing the rest of my underwear until I was as naked as him. “Tell me you’re on the pill.”
“Y-yes. Fuck.”
