Chapter 15
Chapter Fifteen
I was exhausted.
I’d been up all night at Kate’s, trying to soften the blow that a positive pregnancy test had crashed into her world.
Kate had finally fallen asleep around four AM, with sobs still racking her body. Her parents were away at a conference, and I knew she didn’t have anyone else. She refused to come to school, and I’d managed to get home, change for school and finally make it into Math class on time. I felt spaced out.
Was Arden the father?
It sure looked like it.
I tapped my pencil on my lips, staring at the Math problem on the board like it was written in upside-down Japanese.
There was just no way I could do that today.
I spoke with Sarah briefly this morning, and she told me Harley had told her the news. We were all a little shell-shocked, but Sarah promised me she would do the late shift with Kate tonight .
My mind drifted to Mr Silver, and I felt a yearning deep in my stomach. Whenever he was around, I felt calm, yet flames burst whenever our skin touched. I was sad I didn’t have English today, but I guessed it was probably for the best.
He was my teacher, and I was his student.
At first, I’d thought I’d imagined it, but last night confirmed I hadn’t.
As I left the canteen, I remembered that he had my phone number and hadn’t used it. Probably too busy with his romantic evening—
“Ms Martin?”
I stopped in my tracks, the same voice I had imagined in my mind for the past twelve hours ringing in my ears.
“A word, please?”
I turned to see Mr Silver holding the classroom door open, gesturing for me to walk through it.
Holy fuck, he’s hot.
I turned and walked through the door as it locked behind me.
“Sir did you just—”
“Jain, I’ve thought about you all night.”
I was paralysed with shock when he pushed his hands through his hair, gazing at me over the rim of his thick glasses. I fell into the seat beside me, vaguely aware of my bag dropping to the ground.
He pushed the table back, sitting on the desk in front of me, his finger tilting my chin up to his.
“I need to know something,” he whispered, and I nodded, willing to tell him anything in the world he wanted to know, vowing if he didn’t know it, I’d find it out. His eyes looked tired as he pulled his glasses off. I couldn’t breathe when he gazed at me, his fingers lacing with mine as I trembled. “Are you pregnant, Jain? ”
I let out a surprised squeak before laughing with relief.
“God, no . Not that I’m aware of. The test was for Kate, and you know she has slept with Arden—”
“I don’t care right now, as long as it’s not you.”
Before he could say anything else, I slipped my hand around his neck, tugging his head towards mine. I let out a gasp when his mouth met mine for the first time. His lips were soft and plump, and when my tongue darted in his mouth, his hands fell to my waist, pressing me against him as I melted internally.
He kissed me so slowly I thought I might die from desire before his lips broke away, moving swiftly to my neck. They seemed to know the sweet spot that even I wasn’t aware of, and it made me tremble in his arms.
“Jain, I want you,” he murmured into my hair as I dragged my hands down his broad back, wanting to rip his clothes away and devour every inch of him right there and then.
“I know, me too...but Sir—”
“It’s hot as fuck when you call me that, but my name is Evan,” Evan growled as our mouths met again, this time moving into a familiar groove despite having only danced once.
There was a rapping at the door, and we jumped apart breathlessly. His eyes met mine, and all I could see was desire and lust, no fear at all.
“Take a seat, Ms Martin.”
Evan straightened his clothes out before putting his glasses back on. My heart was racing, and I quickly leaned down to grab my bag.
“Sir, I need an extension on this coursework. I know it forms part of my final grade—”
“Fine, Gregory. Fine. Anything else?”
I tried not to laugh, knowing that Gregory would be perpetually stunned by the English teacher’s reaction to a request he had probably practised in front of a mirror for hours.
The door closed, and the lock turned again.
I stood up, pulling my bag over my shoulder as I stared at him in awe. So this creature, this heavenly, intelligent, God-like creature, wanted me?
“Have you got a girlfriend?” I demanded as Evan walked towards me, his hand slipping easily around my waist.
“No.”
He tugged me towards him as he gazed at me intently.
“You’re beautiful.”
“You’re my teacher ...” I whispered, my hands slipping around his neck as he nodded grimly.
“Oh, I’m going to hell. But I think you might just be worth it,” he murmured, his green eyes drinking me in as he kissed me softly.
“Evan, I don’t want you to get in any trouble...” I whispered, my tiredness suddenly forgotten.
“Then be good, Jain.”
Within seconds my back was up against the wall, his mouth on mine hungrily as he tugged my hair back.
“I want you so much. You have no idea.”
“I do...I want you too...” I protested in between fevered kisses.
“Yeah?”
“Yes!” I whispered as his finger brushed my nipple softly. I groaned as he grinned, squeezing my ass cheeks before pressing himself against me.
“You have an optional tutorial, Ms Martin if you choose to accept it.”
A shiver of delight whipped through me as I raised an eyebrow at him. He pressed his lips hard against mine, his hands pinning mine to the wall beside me. I couldn’t breathe—I’d never experienced anything remotely like this.
“When?”
“After school. Can you say you’re with a friend?”
When his lips gave way to his teeth, they nibbled on my bottom lip, and I felt my knees buckle.
“Yes,” I gasped when he finally released me.
“Good. Now you better get to class, Ms Martin. I’ll see you after school.”
I stood in awe as he backed away from me, staring at me with an unreadable expression.
I walked towards the door, opening it before I turned back to him.
“Yes, Sir.”
