Gabe jogged up, pushing through the crowd of onlookers. He took in the scene and sighed as he pulled me away.
“We’ll sort this, just not here,”’ he muttered in my ear as I moved, my eyes boring into JT’s.
“The principal’s office, Fallon!” the teacher repeated. Gabe’s muscular arms gave me no option but to move.
“I’m gonna kill that fucker,” I swore as the teacher called Gabe back.
I walked away angrily, wondering whether I would use the chainsaw or the ax. Pricks like JT have no respect for women at all. At least with me, they know the situation upfront and could decide if they wanted to have some no-strings sex—with him, he is one of those assholes that insist on making them fall for him all the while telling all his jock buddies what he’d rate them out of ten.
There was no fucking chance of that happening to Summer. I stormed into the gym and grabbed my backpack. If the teacher expected me to go to the principal’s office, then she’s even more stupid than I thought. The corridor was silent as my sneakers squeaked against the floor.
Fuck this.
“Caleb, isn’t it?”
Came a silky voice, stopping me in my tracks. It was the voice from my dreams, literally. I turned to see Miss DeQuincy raising an eyebrow at me.
“The last I recall, there are no classes that way. Only the exit.”
Why is her voice so fucking seductive?
She was only talking aboutdirections, for fuck’s sake. I paused, considering my options.
“If you leave, the principal will suspend you,” she continued, gazing at me with those fuck-me eyes.
“How d’you know that Miss, with all due respect?” I raised an eyebrow inquisitively, and she had the grace to blush.
“It’s in your file,” she admitted with a shrug.
Our eyes met then, and I swear her breath hitched as I eyed her.
Has she been looking at my file?
My lips twitched into a smile, my foul mood suddenly lifted.
“You’ve got English next. I’d hate for you to miss out on Romeo & Juliet,” Miss DeQuincy purred.
I cocked my head at her in surprise, positive this chick was flirting with me. It wasn’t justwhatshe was saying. It was thewayshe was looking at me, her tongue flickering over her lips like I was a meal she was drooling over.
Well, fuck it, I’ll be the main course if that’s what she wants.
“Something about forbidden love isn’t there?”
I took a cautious step towards her, and she bit her lip, glancing around us anxiously. “Go to class, Caleb.”
I studied her for a moment, realizing my heart was thudding so hard in my chest, massively outweighing the erection in my pants.What exactly is this she-devil doing to me?
“Suddenly, I don’t want to leave,” I murmured, taking another step closer to her. She swallowed then, giving me a hard stare.
“Good. So my work here is done. Class. Now.”
She was trying to be authoritative, but all it did was make me want her more. I noticed her eyes drift down to my chest briefly before she seemed to gather herself, backing further away from me.
“Do I need to ask you again?” she demanded hoarsely, raising her eyes to mine.
“No, I heard you loud and clear the first time,” I breathed, wondering what she would do if I touched her cheek, ever so lightly with my finger.
I just wanted to feel her skin beneath my fingers, amongst other things. A door banged down the hallway, and she jumped, turning on her heel and walking away from me like I was kryptonite.
