CHAPTER TWENTY
~DAPHNE~
My eyes popped open in surprise. I swallowed hard as I watched his wolf take over for a few seconds before he finally got back to his normal self. I could finally exhale and my quivering lips parted.
“What do you mean I belong to you?”
“Your body is mine and I will have it whenever I want. You love how I make you shiver, my fingers on your body drive you to ecstasy. I am obsessed with you and I’m never letting you go,” his grip on my wrist tightened, digging into my flesh.
I winced in pain and tried to yank my hand off but he wouldn’t let go. I paused for a bit, letting out a deep breath.
“I don’t want to lose my scholarship and I’m pretty sure you don’t want to lose your title as a lecturer so for both our benefits, we need to stop this,”
“I’m going to let you leave so you can have a reset,” he let go of me, his hands placed in his pockets. “Meet me at the library by midnight. I’m going to f**k you surrounded by books,”
My mouth flew open in awe. Didn’t he hear all I just said?
“No!” I answered sharply.
“What did you say?” He c****d his brow.
“No! I will not meet up to have s*x with you. I’m done,”
I turned around and headed towards the door.
“If you take one more step, then everyone will know that we have a thing. You know what that means,”
I paused in my tracks, not turning to look at him. “It means you will be sacked,”
“Wrong!” His voice vibrated strongly. “It means that you will be the one suspended. I am a member of the board of directors. I’m too strong to leave this school. You on the other hand—“
“It would be easy to kick me out,” I whispered to myself.
“Are you threatening me, Professor Fox?”
“Call it what you want. Your body belongs to me. Your p***y, your boobs—-all of it. It is mine!”
My body stiffened. I can’t believe I got myself into this mess because I was consumed by lust. I didn’t expect Professor Fox to be a lunatic but I only have myself to blame. I should have come here to focus on my education instead of spreading my legs for my p***y to be eaten by him.
I opened the door and left his office. I wanted to be on my own and think of my life. There was a garden in the academy so I walked there, my mind filled with different thoughts. I didn’t like the fact that I had been entangled in Professor Fox’s trap. I have a lot to lose compared to him, who has established his life as a Professor and could easily leave and go to another academy.
I got to the garden, a small designated area close to the staff quarters. It had the most beautiful flowers and smelled divine. There were a few white benches in the garden and I took my seat in one of them.
My mood was instantly lifted as the sweet scent of the flowers hit my nostrils.
“If only my life were as simple as a flower,” I whispered to myself.
“You think a flower’s life is simple?” I heard a voice behind me and I jolted up in shock. I placed my hands on my chest, and my heart was beating fast like it was about to rip out of it.
I didn’t miss the grin on Laken’s face as she stood before me. “Oops! Did I startle you?”
“You can’t sneak up on me like that,” I cried out in frustration, throwing my hands in the air.
“I’m sorry, cupcake,” he said and sat on the bench, tapping the empty space beside him. I sighed and sat beside him.
“I was hoping for a quiet time alone,” I mumbled, staring into nothing.
“Company never hurts,”
I turned sharply to face him. “Yours does. The evil twins constantly bully me because of you. I’ve had enough so you should leave,”
He sat up, his brows creasing. “What? Why would they do that?”
“They keep telling me to stay away from you. Perhaps, you’re giving Yolanda the impression that you like her and telling me otherwise,” my voice began to rise in frustration.
With the bullying, Professor Fox’s threats, my secret life as a pornstar, and my brother’s illness in my head, I couldn’t help but get frustrated.
“I’m not giving anyone any impression. I mentioned that it’s just s*x for me and Yolanda agreed. Yasmine has been secretly checking me out and one thing led to another and we began to see each other in secret. I don’t like any of them,”
I stood up. “It doesn’t matter to me. I cannot keep getting into trouble because of you. I literally got pushed into a pool. Please, stay away from me,”
Laken got up, his eyes suddenly going soft. He let out a soft sigh and held my hands in his, caressing them tenderly.
“I’ll speak to them so they don’t bother you,”
I blinked, wondering why he suddenly became soft. Why is he looking at me like that and caressing my hands?
Suddenly, Yasmime and Yolanda walked into the garden, a deep frown plastered on their faces.
“Well, what the hell is going on here?” Yolanda asked, eyeing me from head to toe.
“Looks like they are having a cozy moment,” Yasmine chipped in. They were now standing two inches opposite us.
“You’re such a shameless slut, scholarship girl. What do you think you’re doing here alone with Laken?”
“Shut your mouth, Yolanda,” Laken clenched his fist, his jaw tightening. “I can’t believe you keep bothering Daphne. All for what? You’re not even my girlfriend,”
“Laken!” A pang of hurt flashed through her eyes. “How can you speak to me like that in front of the slut?”
“Don’t you ever call her that. I’ll say it again in front of everyone, all we did was have s*x and you willingly agreed to that. So quit acting like a jealous girlfriend and leave Daphne alone!”
Yolanda paused, and her mouth suddenly began to quiver as a pool of tears gathered under her eyes. I have never seen her look so destabilized before.
“Y-You’re saying all of this to me because of Daphne?” Her voice was low—dangerously low.
“I’m saying all of this because you need to quit being a bully. Now if you’d excuse us, we have a project to work on. Let’s go, Daphne,”
I swallowed hard as I walked out of their presence, following closely behind Laken. I felt bad for Yolanda but I could only hope that now, they would leave me alone.
