Captured (Highgate Preparatory Academy #1)

by Rosa Lee

Opening my eyes, I am confronted with my very own Disney Princess moment. Floor to epically high ceiling bookcases surrounds me, absolutely filled chock-a-block with books. “Did you just…” I start, staring at him, completely stunned and feeling giddy. “Did you just fucking Beauty and the Beast me?” I’m knocked for six. “My little sisters are crazy obsessed with the movie, and I watched it like a million times over the summer. So when I saw all the books you had in your bag...” he grimaces slightly, looking a little bashful all of a sudden, and rubbing the back of his neck. With a delighted squeal, I launch myself at him and climb that boy like the fucking

tree he is, ignoring the fact that he went rifling through my things. I wrap my legs around his hips, kissing him soundly on the lips. Luckily, he catches me, hands cupping my arse. He groans as he traces my lace knickers with his fingers.

“Oh, and Mr Thorn?” I hear June say behind us, making us both pause and turn to look back at her. “I much prefer Science Fiction to Fantasy,” she deadpans, but I swear there's a twinkle in her eye.

“If you keep doing that, Pretty Girl, I’ll have to bend you over this table and fuck you so hard in front of everyone that you’ll walk like a cowgirl for days.”

“Pretty Girl...those noises... Every guy at this table, hell, in this room, is imagining you making them while we're buried deep inside you,”

“Ash organized it just for you, Pretty Girl,” Loki tells her with a smirk, breaking the spell she had woven around me. “I thought you said that you always host the first party of the year?” she asks him, her eyebrows squashing together, her voice soft and turning to face him. “We do. It was meant to be a Saints and Sinners party, but Ash changed the theme yesterday when he heard A Midsummer Night’s Dream was your favourite play,” Loki answers back like a fucking douche.

A shock of laughter peels out of me, breaking through my lust haze. “You are in Women's Studies?” I ask with a giggle. “I'll have you know, Lilly Darling, that I am a staunch feminist. I love all women equally,” he says jokingly with an eyebrow waggle.

Although it seems a little off, like the smile Hook gives Peter Pan before he tries to stab him. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I would stab that brat too. Fucking chauvinistic twat.

“Lilly Darling, I'm so fucking in love with you it hurts. I've been in love with you since the moment I saw you buck ass naked in that shower, singing Get Off My Dick.”

Being true to his word, he cleans me up, lavishing me with all of the care and attention as if I am in fact the princess he calls me and he is my very own dark knight.

‘People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf’.

“When I think about you, I burn inside, Princess. My entire being, everything I am and ever could be is yours.” I gasp, my eyes filling with moisture, but before I can say anything he continues. “I love you, Lilly Darling, and I will love you until I draw my last breath and my soul descends into the depths below. And when the stars fall from the sky, and the earth shatters into a million pieces my love for you will be in every fucking atom of the galaxy.”
