“I don’t like to walk outside by myself at night,” I tell her with a small smile. “You’re my roommate, and I wanted to make sure we got back together.”
Tempest thinks as we walk back, and she gently hip checks me as she lets us into the room. “You know, you’re not a bad roommate,” she says and I sigh happily.
We had a really rough start, and I didn’t want to spend every moment screaming at each other. That's why I chose to trust her.
“Chastity,” Tempest says as she flops onto her back on her bed, to stare at the ceiling.
Shaking my head at her, I take off my shoes, getting into bed. “Yes?” I ask goodnaturedly.
“I heard that Father Levi picks on you in classes. How is he with you in sessions after classes? Does he beat on his chest and scream at you?”
I am taking a sip of water from my nightstand and almost spit it out. “No, Levi doesn’t yell at me in our sessions outside of class,” I start to explain.
Tempest narrows her eyes at me and shoves herself into a sitting position. “Levi, you say? Are you calling him Levi when you’re in private now, Chastity?!” she asks excitedly.
I wince as I realize my slip up. “Umm. Yeah. He asked me to. Listen, he’s really hot and cold with me, and I don’t know what to do about it. He’ll act like I’m an idiot in class, asking question after question without letting me answer. The other day he told me to stand in the corner and face the wall if I wasn’t going to come prepared. How old does he think we are? Levi stood there until I did, and then Bridget, Lisa, and Monique took turns sending spitballs into my hair. God, it was so disgusting,” I recall, gagging as I remember picking them out between classes.
Tempest growls at the way the girls are treating me, and I grin at her. She’s gotten pretty protective over me since we hashed everything out the night Levi and I had our last “traditional” punishment.
“So, how is he during your punishments then? I don’t think I can take him being a jerk to you during these too.”
Biting my lip, I think about it. “The last punishment was really bad,” I remember. “I was crying and shaking, so he sat me in his lap and told me to listen to his heartbeat. Levi told me I was safe, and most importantly, he made me feel it too. But then… he was back to pretending I was an idiot in classes.”
Tempest huffs, annoyed. “Girl, you have to confront him. It’s not okay for him to give you whiplash. I really think you should confront him about it. You’re amazing and deserve better. It’s important for you to show people how you want to be treated,” she tells me before clamping her hand on her mouth. “Oh no,” she whispers before running for the bathroom.
Laying back, I think about that. Maybe I do need to tell him.
Chapter20
It’s early but I need to talk to him. The way he’s treating me is not going to stand any longer. After my talk with Tempest, I have decided to confront him head on. I don’t know what I possibly could have done for him to look at me with such disgust. I know that Grandmother hasn’t told a soul about what happened in the past. It’s clear from how he tries to get me to confess during our sessions. Plus, it would only tarnish her impeccable reputation.
The punishments and atonement I have been undergoing have been in secret and away from prying eyes, too.
I never knew how many secret tunnels and rooms they had hiding in this place until last night. I use one of the passageways now to get to his room unseen.
I reach his quarters and knock on the wooden door. I wait a few minutes before repeating. Finally, after a grueling ten minutes of standing there, he throws open his door, giving me his signature scowl and rubbing his eyes. He’s wearing his robe and nothing else. I knew it was early, but I didn’t think he’d still be asleep. I try to stop myself from taking in his hard, toned, muscular body, but I find my eyes trailing down, down. Holy hell, he’s naked and very awake.
“I’m… I need to talk to you, Father,” I stumble to say, whilst trying to keep my eyes on his face, eyes wide. Levi laughs and shakes his head.
“It’s five in the morning, Chastity,” he growls, and I swear the vibrations run through me all the way to my core.
“This won't take long, but it needs to be said,” I rush to say, leaning forward before he can slam the door in my face.
He growls and spins, walking back into his apartment, but he leaves the door open for me to follow. I hesitate a few moments before pulling up my big girl panties and entering.
It's dark in here. He has blackout curtains over all the stained glass windows, and only a small light from below the microwave shines. I trip over a shoe and end up falling into his lap as he sits in a large chair. Why is there stuff everywhere? My skirt has risen and I know my butt is showing. He grunts and I instantly get an image of him spanking me like this. But this time, not in punishment.
I quickly sort myself, ignoring the way his hand hovers over my bare flesh for a minute.
I fix my skirt and sit on the coffee table in front of him. He's wearing a pair of black, tight boxers, and I find myself blushing still. I know I saw all of him naked earlier, but I can clearly see his imprint in the material. Gulping, I look back up at his face.
“Right, well, you have ten minutes, Miss Cross, before I climb back into my bed. I had a late night, and l prefer not waking before dawn on the weekend.”
“Why do you hate me?” I blurt out, and he looks at me with confusion in his eyes, his mouth open in surprise.
“I understand that my grandmother chose you for my lessons. I know I need to repent. I've accepted it, but you're just so cruel to me. In and out of the classroom. Did I do something to personally offend you?”
I stand from the table and start to pace. He doesn't answer me, and I almost cry in embarrassment. This was a mistake, I never should have come here.
