“When he’s around.”Swallowing the pills and water, I toss the paper cup in the garbage.
“And you?I’ve seen you around, and this isn’t normally like you.”She’s right about that.
Looking away, I watch a bird fly past the window before responding.“Margo tried to get two of her friends from the soccer team to rape me.”Her sharp inhale redirects my attention to her again.Tears moisten her eyes, and it’s clear that she wants to reach out for me.“A couple of nights ago, I came home all beat up.Dad sent Malice to school with me to find out what was going on.He wasn’t here today, and Margo became just too much.”I shrug; it’s not a lie.
“Odette!”My father’s stern voice instantly snaps me to my feet.Staring into the eyes of the man who would burn the world down for me, I’ve never seen him so angry.
Miss Carmichael stands as well, staying at my side.I can’t help but think how perfect she would be with him.Her softness would take some of his edge off.“Hi, Daddy.”
His gaze rushes over me, stopping on my hand.“Where the fuckishe?”I shrug.It’s not like Tuckwood would tell me where he was going.
Miss Carmichael clears her throat.“I believe he went to the security office.”She points to a room down the corridor.Dad’s glance flicks across Noa, and I hear her inhale deeply.
Interesting.
“Take me to him,” he demands.She jumps a little before scuttling off towards the security room.“Get some ice on that hand, Odette.Malice will be here any minute.”
Seems I’m not far off the mark because that was clear interest in my father’s eyes when he took in the young teacher.
CHAPTER8
Malice
Possessive pride swells my chest as I jog up the steps to the front doors of Atalanta Prep and head inside.Odette decked the bitch who’s been tormenting her.To me, it’s about fucking time.Carmine and Jermaine were fucking livid, though.
Holy and I worked hard at convincing Jermaine not to tag along with Carmine.It took everything in me not to cut off my hands for the pain my girl must be feeling because I wasn’t here to protect her.
Waltzing into the office, I see the vapid bitch and her Heeler friend sitting off to the side as Carmine follows a pretty, young woman down a corridor in the office.Stepping closer to Margo, I pull her hand away from her face and tilt her chin upwards to get a better look.
“Going to make it all better for me, Malice?”Her nasally purr, combined with her hand currently travelling up my thigh, both disgust me.
Before I can do anything, though, we hear a warning.“Take your hand off him before I remove it from your body.”I grin at the possessiveness in Odette’s voice.I’m not sure where this sudden burst of confidence has come from, but it makes my dick hard as stone.
“Just checking out your artwork, little rabbit.”I slide a grin over to her that disappears when I notice how bruised and swollen her hand is.Redirecting my glare to the girl whose jaw is still within my grasp, I tighten my fingers as her hand drops.“You fucking come near her again, and I’ll chop your body up and mail it back to your parents myself.”
Shoving her away, I storm over to Odette to inspect the damage done to her.“Where the fuck is your ice?”Her glare hasn’t lessened as she shrugs her shoulders at me.“They going to suspend you?”She bobs her shoulder again, inciting my anger.“Got anything to say to me, Odette?”
She takes a step closer, pushing up on her toes and murmuring in my ear, “Touch me again after touching another girl, and I’ll hand your balls to you.”My eyebrows shoot to my hairline at her threat.
I’m certain she didn’t mean to make my dick weep, but she’s done it.He’s leaking like a burst fucking pipe, and all I want to do right now is bury the greedy bastard in her virgin cunt for the next month.
“You’re right.”I kiss her cheek before she can pull away.“But keep making threats like that, and I’ll have you bent over the nearest surface, fucking you until you’re begging me to stop.”There’s no threat in my words, just heat and a promise.
Her cheeks pinken, and she bites her lip before nodding at me.Voices from down the hall catch our attention as Carmine exits the room he was in, murder in his eyes, as the asshole who called him keeps talking out of his ass, trying to appease the person who holds his life in his hands.Rest assured, Carmine won’t hesitate to kill this bastard for Odette being hurt at school.It’s happened far too frequently for my boss to be happy.
“I will bury you in a shallow fucking grave if one more hair on her head is so much as out of place again, Tuckwood.Don’t test me on this.”A woman is standing to the side, hands clasped in front of her, pale-faced and head down.
“Daddy likes her,” Odette whispers beside me.
“Don’t,” I hiss.Carmine is a ruthless bastard, far more than any of his daughters will ever understand.He would eat that woman alive.
“Go take a shower,” she snaps back.Fuck,she’s really pissed at me.
“Malice!”Her father doesn’t need to look to know I’m here.I’m always here.
“Yeah, boss?”Odette’s fingers tangle in the shirt at my back as I stride closer to him.
“You’re in school for the rest of the year.One hair on her head is out of place, and you choose the punishment.”This Tuckwood fellow pales under the scrutiny of Carmine Cavanaugh.
