“Why did you come here again?” I mutter.
“Do I need to remind you that you’re mine and I can take what’s mine anytime I want?”
My traitorous body hums at the thought of what that could be.
“I’ve an assignment due tomorrow and don’t have time for this, so can you please just hurry up and tell me what it is you want so you can leave.”
He stalks towards me until he’s invading my personal space again.
“That’s not how this works princess. I’ll leave when I’m good and ready. But you’re right I do want something from you,” he says twirling a lock of my hair around his finger.
“Shocker,” I reply folding my arms across my chest.
“Rona has the flu. Don’t get me wrong I could still make her do it and probably still get at least a C, but after that impressive mark you got on that assignment in class I thought who better than to take over that role. At least until Rona’s feeling better,” he says with a shrug. A fucking shrug.
I don’t know if he lives in a big fancy house like Saint or not but I’m guessing he’s enough of his daddy’s money floating around at his disposal to pay someone else to do his damn homework if he’s too lazy to do it himself.
“You want me to do the work for you?” I laugh.
He gives a low clap of his hands.
“See not just a beautiful face, are you?”
“Not. Fucking. Happening. I have my own shit to do. I don’t have time to do my own work never mind anyone else’s. If you are too lazy to do your own work and Rona’s sick then its tough shit for you. The answers no,” I say with finality.
He towers over me ticking his jaw.
“I don’t think you seem to understand who the fuck you’re dealing with princess,” he sneers grabbing me by the throat. “You’ll do as I say or I swear I’ll make your life a living fucking hell at school. Whatever rumours you’ve heard about us will be nothing in comparison to what I will do to you.
You think they treated Lexy bad before then just wait to see what I can do with the snap of my finger.”
And just like that the heat I felt between us turns as cold as ice.
“Do I need to repeat myself?”
The venom in his tone tells me that he means what he says. He will make my life a living hell if I don’t do this for him.
“No. I’ll do it,” I quiver.
“Good. You can start by doing my essay on the extent governments were responsible for the growth of the British Economy between 1815 to 1850. I expect no less than a B plus. You have until tomorrow princess.”
I balk. “Tomorrow? Caleb that’s a 1500-word essay,” I urge trying to make him be reasonable. “I can’t do it in that time frame as well as my own work. I’ve to finish studying for an exam tomorrow.”
“Better get a move on then. Because it looks like you’re in for a long night,” he says lifting his hand to cup my cheek in a gentle caress. Tears prick the backs of my eyes but I will them not to fall when he leans in to brush his lips against mine. I expect his kiss to be rough and hurried but it’s not. Its soft and gentle.
When I break our kiss something unspoken passes between us. I get the feeling that he wants to stay but it quickly passes when he turns away from me walking back towards my window.
“See you tomorrow princess.”
My mind races with indecision if I can do this or not as he climbs out my bedroom window without so much as a backward glance. I slam it shut after him not caring if my mom hears the bang and snap my curtains closed. I’m screwed.
Damned if I do, damned if I don’t. Wondering what time it is I check the clock on my nightstand. 10:55pm.
How the hell am I going to get all this done tonight? It’s impossible.
Pulling on my night clothes quickly I make my way into the kitchen to pour myself a mug of coffee because he’s right about one thing, it is going to be a long night.
