Was she trying to goad me? Was that it? Was she doing this on purpose?
She couldn’t be serious, right? This had to be a joke.
This guy?
I caught the way her arctic eyes flitted over him. In an analytical way. Like she was taking a measure of him. Of his ability to please her. Like she might eat him alive if he couldn’t perform. She twisted her ankles together beneath the table, and I wondered if she was imagining his cock inside of her. Pressing her thighs together against the ache forming between her legs.
My pencil snapped in my hand and a few eyes turned to me before they fled back to their work. But not her. Ava Jade didn’t turn. She didn’t look.
I dropped the pencil remnants to my desk and ran my teeth over my lower lip, leaning forward slightly. Trying to hear.
Was he handsome?
I critically evaluated the fucker from head to toe. He was tall. My height maybe. Not as tall as Corvus. A decent face, young and bright, like the darkness of life hadn’t tainted him yet. Hadn’t seeped into the hollows beneath his eyes or carved premature lines in his forehead.
His hair was dark, a chestnut brown that shone in the classroom lights like it was covered in a thin film of oil. I grimaced. Did she prefer men with darker hair, then? Men who looked like they would take you for a late breakfast at IHop after fucking you gently and texting another side bitch in the bathroom when you weren’t looking?
FuckingChrist.I was jealous.
I wasjealousof JoshfuckingRichardson.
I couldn’t remember ever being jealous with Brianna. Not for even a fucking second. I wasn’t even sure if thatwasthe emotion I was feeling. Couldn’t remember ever experiencing it before. But I knew one thing for sure, the idea of jumping to my feet and smashing Josh’s smug ass face into his desk sounded really good right now. Magical, even.
I wondered if she’d smile at him then? When his nose was broken and his face covered in blood.
No. She might like that.
...fuck
This is madness.
The bell couldn’t ring fast enough. I gathered up my unfinished work, stuffing it into the crook of my arm as Ava Jade put her hand on Josh’s arm.
“Thanks,” she said, and he grinned at her like a starved kitten who’d just been given a bowl of milk.
Thanks? Thanks for what?
He nodded vigorously. “No probs,” he said, the epitome of douche.
As she went to hand her work in to Mr. Williams, I rushed Josh, not even fully aware of where I was going until my shoulder collided hard with his, almost knocking him on his ass.
“Sorry,” he muttered, gripping his shoulder as he steadied himself on a desk. “Didn’t mean to get in your way.”
“Watch it,” I sneered at him and caught Ava Jade smirking at me from the head of the class, where Mr. Williams was casually trying to get a peek down her shirt while she was distracted.
“Yeah, man, my bad,” Josh mumbled, stooping to lift his scattered blank pages and binder from the floor.
I tore my gaze away from her and stalked from the class, my body flooding with unspent adrenaline, making my muscles shudder and twitch.
Maybe Corvus was right. That girl was trouble with a capital T. Bolded. And underlined.
But I didn’t want her gone. I wanted her all to my fucking self.
I wanted all her smiles. Her laughter. I wanted her thighs to squeeze at the image ofmeinside of her.
They would, I decided, picking up speed as I thundered down the corridor and jabbed the elevator button.
Yes, I thought, the rage that’d been making my stomach clench loosening by the second now.I will have her.
