HER INNOCENT SLAVE 13

(HIS) Chapter 13

We were already far from the booth. He was dragging me toward the back of their building where there were sinks and faucets. Nobody was here since everyone was at the booth.

“What—”

He abruptly bent me down and took some water to wipe on my lips. I wasn’t able to finish my words. I pressed my lips tightly shut so I wouldn’t drink the water.

“What the hell!” I yelled once he was done.

His gaze was dark but he wasn’t speaking. He was flushed red. Breathing heavily in silence as if trying to calm himself.

“What’s with the drama? Dragging me like this!”

“You two are kissing! Right in front of so many people, Lucienne?!”

I gaped at what he said. Yes, Ace did kiss me, but it was just a light peck on the cheek. But Lucas was on the other side, so he must have thought Ace and I were kissing.

“Why do you care? I can kiss anyone I want and I can give a blow job to anyone I want! If you’re jealous, then go kiss and let your girlfriend blow you too!”

I remembered Catelynn’s face when I stared at her earlier. My head suddenly burned hot imagining them kissing and her blowing him. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly to shake the thought off. But the moment I did, I instantly opened them again when he grabbed me by the nape and pressed his lips on mine.

Damn it! I said kiss your girlfriend, not me!

I clutched his arm. One of his arms wrapped around my waist possessively. The other lightly tangled in my hair at the back of my head so he could control me and deepen the kiss.

“Shit.” I cursed nervously when I felt my heart pounding.

I stumbled back as he kissed me until my back hit a tree near the sink. My hands instinctively reached up around his neck, locking around it so I could return his kiss with equal passion. He groaned and pressed himself harder against me at my response.

One of his hands slid down, slipping under my skirt. I bit his lower lip when he squeezed one of my butt cheeks. He pressed me tighter against him. Heat rushed all over me when I felt him. Holy crap. I moaned and broke away from the kiss, hiding my face against his neck.

“I don’t know what is happening to me. You made me like this. What’s happening to me is your responsibility, Lucienne. So, don’t flirt with other guys until I figure out what it is.”

I obediently nodded against his neck and inhaled his manly scent. He hugged me and calmed himself for a moment before pulling away. I was still dizzy from his kisses. My cheeks felt like they were burning.

“Leave your car here. We will go home together. Hmm?” he whispered hoarsely. I nodded.

He cupped both my cheeks and gave me a quick, firm kiss before dragging me away. As we agreed, we went home together. Every day. He also started sleeping in my room again. His hands would often wander, which often led to heated encounters. We were kissing, dry humping, foreplaying, and making out.

“Don’t swallow it.” He ran naked to the bathroom to grab tissues.

I also no longer noticed much when he got touchy. It was as if I was getting used to his touches, even in front of many people. Subtle touches at my waist and caresses on my thigh. Whenever that happened, I would see Leela staring. Her eyes, behind her glasses, were blank, always holding a book. Catelynn was always with her, quieter now especially whenever I was around them.

After getting dressed, I stepped out of the bathroom cubicle. I was already in a blouse and short shorts uniform for physical education, since that’s what our teachers required us to wear for today’s games and sports.

I met Catelynn’s eyes in the mirror as I walked out. She was also wearing the same thing. She was one of the players later in volleyball. She just stared. I fell silent, unsure how to speak to her, since both of us had only been silent and cautious with each other these past days.

Without a word, I walked to the sink to wash my hands. I was drying them when Leela entered. I quickly finished and was about to leave, but Leela blocked my way.

“What’s going on between you and my boyfriend?”

Catelynn spat the word boyfriend with such force, as if she wanted to slap me with it. I glanced at her from the side. I stayed quiet. I didn’t know what to say. Her gentle eyes now carried anger and hatred. I swallowed hard and tried to walk past her because I didn’t want to fight. If she had to know, Lucas should be the one to tell her.

“Where are you going? Running away?” Leela blocked me again.

Before I could get out, Leela grabbed my arm and shoved me back. My eyes widened as I stared at them. I wasn’t a good enough person to let it slide if they hurt me. I narrowed my eyes at Leela before turning to Catelynn.

“Ask your boyfriend.”

I stepped out again, but this time Catelynn pulled me back. Her grip on my arm was tight, her nails digging into me. Before I could recover from her pull, she slapped me.

My lips parted. Before I could even process that she slapped me, another one landed. My cheek stung. My fists clenched. I held myself back from fighting back because I knew I was guilty.

On the third slap, I finally forced myself to catch her wrist. I was about to speak when she suddenly yanked my hair. The pain made me snap and I couldn’t hold back anymore. I grabbed her hair too, holding onto the hand she had in my hair. I scratched her while trying to stop her, but she wouldn’t let go. Leela, at the side, I caught a glimpse of—smirking while typing on her phone.

“f**k,” I cursed when Catelynn still wouldn’t let go, and I struggled to stop her because I didn’t want to use force.

I squeezed my eyes shut. I was scratching her everywhere. I had even tugged at her clothes so some buttons flew off. Her arms, neck, and chest were full of my scratches already. I wanted to punch her in the face or gut her, but I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her too badly, because I knew I had done wrong and that’s why she was angry.

“Damn it, let go!”

For some unknown reason, she suddenly let go. I breathed in relief. Afraid she’d grab my hair again, I shoved her hard. My push coincided with the door opening. Lucas and Rome rushed in, panting.

My eyes widened when Lucas looked at me in shock. His gaze quickly dropped, and he ran straight to Catelynn, who was bleeding from my scratches and her clothes were torn. I shook my head, wanting to explain, but no words came out when Lucas turned to me with dark eyes.

“She suddenly attacked Catelynn and said she and you were in a relationship! That’s not true, right, Lucas? It’s not true, right?” Leela shouted, making Lucas’s eyes grow darker.

He glared at me. I straightened and fixed my hair, which wasn’t too messy. Rome beside me widened his eyes at me as if demanding an explanation. I wanted to laugh at his expression, but I couldn’t with Lucas’s dark gaze on me.

Catelynn cried as Lucas helped her up. He supported her out to take her to the clinic. Leela followed. Rome remained at my side. I sighed and shook my head at him.

“What do you mean relationship? What did you do?” He hit my arm.

“They started it! I only fought back!”

Rome shook his head and smacked my arm harder.

“You’re too much of a troublemaker! You’re new here, and you’ve already gotten into so many fights! I’m sure you’ll be summoned to the office for this!”

And true enough, some students arrived saying I was being summoned to the office. When I opened the door, the first thing I met were Lucas’s eyes as he leaned against the wall. He sighed and shook his head at me. His gaze was still dark.

“Mr. Sullivan, we let the first incident go because you said you saw what happened and that Ivy’s group started it, which is why they ended up in Ms. Campbell’s building. But this? Look at her. We can’t just let this pass.” The guidance counselor pointed at Catelynn, who was still crying.

Lucas sighed again and looked at me, which made the counselor also glance at me. They had me come inside and sit across from Catelynn. When she faced me, her crying grew louder, as if she was frightened just by seeing me. I rolled my eyes at her, and Lucas caught it.

“Stop that,” he mouthed. I rolled my eyes at him too.

Lucas shook his head in dismay and pressed his nose bridge. His cold eyes stared at me as if I were one of the naughtiest bullies in this school.

I didn’t look back at him. I wanted to explain, but I kept rolling my eyes at Leela’s constant interjections. In the end, I just crossed my arms and stayed quiet. What for? Even if I explained, I would still be punished. Even if I explained, they wouldn’t believe me here. I’d just be wasting my breath.

Catelynn was known for being incredibly kind and quiet. She never fought and got along with everyone. Meanwhile, me? I had only been here for months, yet I’d already gotten into fights and injured four seniors. I wasn’t good at getting along with people and classmates. If you asked my classmates what kind of student I was, their answer would be “worthless.” Even teachers wouldn’t defend me, because I was weak in academics and rude in recitation. Add to that a nerd witness pinning me down. Bullshit.

I rolled my eyes again when the counselor had the three of them step out to talk to me alone. Lucas didn’t leave right away. He had to be told again before he stepped out. Why does he seem hesitant to go out? What was he even planning to do here? He couldn't possibly defend me against his girlfriend like he did with Ivy. Of course that's his girlfriend, so he’ll side with her.

“Miss Campbell, I don’t want this happening again. I’ll give you a light punishment this time. If there’s a third, I’ll call your parents and maybe escalate this to have you expelled from this school.”

I held back another eye-roll. In the end, I didn’t explain. I simply nodded and accepted the punishment without resistance.
