“You’re not fine,” he snaps, keeping his arms around me but loosening his hold so he can lean back enough to look down at me. “What happened?”

“Nothing I didn’t expect to happen. I guess I was just hoping she’d feel some remorse about what they did. But she doesn’t, and that shouldn’t surprise me,” I confess, my voice small. “I’m fine. I’m just tired and hungry. Let’s go and get some lunch.”

Pulling back, I try to step away, but he tightens his hold on me, then glances to where the rest of the guys are waiting for us. “Give us a minute,” he tells them.

Once they’ve gone, he moves us from the middle of the hallway, spinning me around so my back is pressed up against the wall. “Now, the truth,” he says softly.

“Honestly, I’m fine. It’s nothing.”

Pinching my chin, he lifts my face up. “I said the truth, Little Ghost.”

Pulling in a deep breath, I exhale sadly. “She sent me a text message demanding that I attend Penelope’s chemistry class this afternoon.”

“And…” he prompts, easily seeing that I’m holding back.

“And she said she wants to discuss my behavior when the driver collects me later,” I blurt.

“Are you scared?” he whispers, his fingers releasing my chin to softly stroke my cheek.

“Yes,” I admit. “But I’m angry and sad too.”

“It’s going to be all right.”

“Is it?” I question.

“I promise, Ghost, together, we’ll make it okay.”

Staring up into his eyes, I search for something but don’t find it. I shouldn’t have allowed myself to rely on him this way, but I think it might be too late. When his lips press against mine, I open my mouth, daring him to take things further and distract my mind with pleasure, but his kiss stays soft and sweet until he eventually pulls back.

“Are we friends?” I blurt, needing to put a label on whatever this is between us.

Running a finger down my cheek, he leans back, scraping his teeth over his lower lip as he fights back a smile. “Yes, Little Ghost, we’re friends.”

“What about the sex?”

Throwing his head back, he laughs in a way I haven’t heard before. It’s loud and wild, and I find myself smiling at him. “I like the sex.”

“I’ve never had sex with a friend before.”

“I know. You were still a virgin this time last week,” he whispers mischievously against my ear.

“I don’t think I know how to have a friends-with-benefits thing. I don’t know the rules,” I confess, my cheeks heating with embarrassment.

His body stills, and the smile falls from his lips. “We’re not friends with benefits,” he says, low and rough.

“I’m sorry. I just…I don’t know the rules about hook-ups.”

“Little Ghost, for a clever girl, you’re being really fucking stupid right now,” he growls.

“But—” Slamming his lips against mine, he silences me, dominating my mouth as he collars my throat, holding me in place while he devours me. My body melts into him, and I part my legs, urging him to get as close to me as he can while he grinds his hard cock against me.

Another growl comes from him as he tears himself away. “Unless you want me to fuck you at school, we need to stop,” he pants raggedly.

I nod, my chest heaving as I actually consider if there’s somewhere we could go. How did I go from asking him if we’re friends to wondering if there’s anywhere in school we could go for a quickie?

“My dirty, dirty Little Ghost.” He chuckles. “Let’s go and eat.”
