“And while she’s in this state she could lose control again and burn the whole House down,” I replied. “I’ll have to stay with her tonight until she sleeps off the alcohol you watched her consume.” There was more than a hint of accusation in my tone, but the girl didn’t even flinch this time.
I tried not to stare at her, I really tried but I couldn’t stop looking at her bronze skin, her narrow waist, the swell of her breasts as they rose and fell in time with her deep breaths... Fuck it’s like someone picked apart my deepest desires and brought every fantasy I’ve ever had to life.
By the time I got there she’d already emptied her stomach contents into the toilet, and she flushed it before stumbling towards the basin where she washed her mouth out. She proceeded to steal my toothbrush like a damn animal, and I leaned against the doorframe as I watched her, trying not to look at her ass too much as she bent forward over the basin. But I was clearly failing at that.
“You have the biggest goddamn jacuzzi I’ve ever seen in your bathroom,” she said, and I couldn’t help but laugh at the way that conversation had gone. “Do you like it?” I asked. “No. It’s just unbelievable. Like you. You’re just...such...a dick.” Her breathing grew heavier, and I was sure she’d passed out again.
Darius scowled darkly, a low growl rumbling in the base of his throat as I told him about Zane like the idea of that asshole pissed him off. Which was about the most ridiculous thing I’d ever heard because I was sitting in a bed with someone a thousand times worse than him.
Good morning, Gemini. The stars have spoken about your day! After a turbulent start, you may begin to see things in a new light today. Sometimes things aren’t just black and white and though you may be tempted to stick to original assumptions about certain situations, if you open your mind to the possibility of change you might be pleasantly surprised. A Libra and Pisces will work to dampen your flame today but keep heart, if you can make it through the hard part, you may just find your luck changing as the day wears on.
“For the love of sanitary sausages, please tell me you aren’t bringing your depraved hobbies in here where we all eat our meals!” she cried. “It’s bad enough you paid a griffin to take a dump on your chest without bringing your randy rocket out with you for breakfast!”
“Nonsense, it's my pleasure,” Washer replied. “Franny told me she'd be stopping by this morning, so I came prepared to cover for you. I used to teach Sex Ed long before you worked here, remember? I taught you all the ins and outs of the physical act, so I'm sure you have a lot to thank me for.”
“With the Lunar Eclipse fast approaching, I’m sure you’re all getting a lot of urges already.” “Pervertido,” Diego breathed. “So, I'm sure you all want to know how best to deal with those frustrations whether you have a partner or not.” He laid his bag down on the desk, slowly unzipping it in a way that seemed somehow suggestive.
The door opened and a genuine breath of relief seemed to leave the lungs of every class member in the room as Orion strode back in looking fierce. He took one look at Washer holding the banana and started snarling like a wild animal. “Take your sex toys and get out of my classroom.” He pointed them out on students' desks and Washer rolled his eyes as he moved to gather them up.
He headed to his desk, picking up another one and shooting over to Tory's desk at high speed. “HERE YOU GO, MISS VEGA!” he boomed, and she covered her whole head with her arms. “Whhhy?” she moaned. I couldn’t fight a laugh and Orion threw me a wink, remaining where he was.
As I looked over at the Heirs’ couch, I found Darius looking right back at me and my heart leapt in surprise. I couldn’t really figure out the look he was giving me but something about it made me feel uncomfortable. I dropped my gaze and pulled my sunglasses off, tossing them back into my satchel as I ran my fingers through my hair, super subtly making a curtain out of it to block my view of Darius.
“You don’t get to bite me,” I said firmly, the rest I wasn’t quite decided on yet. “C’mon Tory, I almost had you-” “Not good enough. Almost doesn’t get you your prize.” His gaze drifted to my neck anyway and I narrowed my eyes. “If you bite me after I won, I won’t play with you again,” I added to drive the point home. “If we don’t stick to the rules then there’s no point in it at all.”
Darcy bit her lip on a smile and offered me a raised eyebrow to say I was treading the line of bitch. I sighed. I was treading that line most days and I didn’t usually adjust my personality to suit grief over stolen hats.
Slay girl! ✨ Also why am I kinda of hating Diego…. Like idk every time he appears I’m always not interested and his attitude is not the greatest ✨😒
“Dear diary,” Orion taunted. “Today I was almost murdered by my asshole Cardinal Magic professor. I won't backchat him ever again because the next time I do I think I'll end up in a body bag for real.” He moved to step away then paused, leaning close once more with a calculating grin. “P.S. I have a major crush on Darcy Vega, but she doesn't seem to realise it. I wonder what she'll say when she finds out.” He strolled out of the door into the storm, and I stared after him in utter shock.
He caught my chin, tugging me back to look at him, sending my heart ricocheting through my chest. “Give a guy a second. One minute I'm messaging you wishing I could have you right here, and the next thing...” He leaned in, kissing the corner of my mouth and I melted. Or that was what it felt like anyway. As if there wasn't a single solid organ in my body. “Here you are.”
He scooped me into his arms, his hands on the backs of my thighs as he carried me into his bedroom and kicked the door shut, the sudden loudness making my heart jolt. He turned and pressed me against it, his mouth meeting mine so fast it took my brain a second to catch up.
The storm rattled the windows like it was threatening to get in. But nothing could touch us here. Not the rules which bound us, or the lines drawn in the sand between us where he stood with the Heirs, and I stood with my sister. Here, we were nothing but two Fae who craved each other with a force that rivalled mother nature. And I could no longer resist the call of its power.
“I’m here because I spend all of my spare time watching you and wanting to be like you, but you’re mean to me and won’t be my best friend forever like I sooo wish you would. So I decided to become you instead. I’m starting off by creeping up here to seduce your precious Darius and screw him senseless just to make you cry. Then I’m going to dye my hair the cheapest, shittiest shade of red I can find and finally I’ll become the head cheerleader because I fucking love being cheery. Mostly I’m going to do it because I’m obsessed with you but partly because I’m a psycho bitch who just wants to ruin
