The Tracker Hive Academy Year One - Avery Song Page 0,84

payback. There's no goodwill bullshit. I don't need your help."

"That's the biggest load of bullshit I've heard since Zackery said he'd be the first to date you," Zeus fought back. "Give me a better example."

"My Dad got help after I thunder bolted our old house and caused it to erupt in flames, and you know what that got him? The death penalty!" I snapped.

Zeus stopped, staring into my eyes.

"Good enough excuse now?" I whispered, turning my back to him as I tried again to open my locker. After a fifth attempt, I gave up.

"I might as well just walk around the damn school naked!" I raged, taking my towel off and throwing it to the floor in anger.

This emotional rollercoaster was getting annoying. I just wanted to go home, eat a bowl of ice cream, and sleep.

The sound of my lock clicking open caught my attention, and I looked to see Zeus unhooking it from its slot and opening my locker for me.

I gave him a defiant look, and he slowly took my naked body in.

"I'm not letting you go out in public naked."

"Selfish," I grumbled, blinking back tears. "Just go away."

"You say the opposite of what you mean when you're frustrated."

"Zeu—"

"You have two options. Let me dress you, take you to our mansion, give you a big tub of ice cream, and let you cry in any of our arms tonight. OR, we have makeup sex for whatever bullshit argument we're having, you still let me dress you, we head to our mansion, you get a tub of ice cream, and you can cry in my arms tonight."

I took a few seconds to repeat the two options in my head.

"All I hear is either let me manhandle you with Maxwell options or let's have sex and then I'll manhandle you," I concluded.

"Both options make sure your needs are met."

"The second one favors you more."

"I'm not here for favors," he stressed, closing the distance between us.

"Then why are you here, Zeus? Why...did you stop me back there?"

He took a deep inhale and closed his eyes. Letting the air out slowly, he opened his eyes to look into mine.

"I swear it's obvious," he muttered more to himself as his face began to grow red. "But if it's not...I guess I should tell you."

He gently placed his hands on my hips and without hesitation, kissed me gently on the lips. It was a careful kiss, one that had very little movement but was firm enough for me to acknowledge it as one.

Inching away just slightly, he whispered, "I love you, Jade. Or at least I have a major crush on you. It could be because of Zeke and his constant wet dreams about you, but let's not dive into that foolishness."

"What about what you just saw? This just confirms I'm bait. What if...the person doing all this crazy shit is the one who killed my family?"

"Doesn't matter. It could be a person using our darkest fears against us for all we know. Not changing my feelings. As long as you agree to the twenty-four-hour Maxwell watch service.”

"No."

"I'll give you and Shadow Jade cookies every single day for the rest of the year."

"Fine."

"What kind of fluid mind fuckery is that?" he complained.

I smiled and hooked my arms around his neck. "Cookies for the rest of the year is a hard bargain to come by." I leaned in and brushed my lips along his. "Are you sure?"

"If I wasn't sure, I would have never offered it," he whispered against my lips. "Even with your hot naked body in front of me."

"Your brothers will-mhm."

He sealed my words with those luscious lips and pressed my body against the lockers. Before I knew it, his cock was teasing my entrance, seconds from sliding right in.

"Ah!" I gasped, my head falling back against the locker’s surface. He scooped my legs up, hoisted me, and slid himself deep into me.

"I hope you like it nice and fast, Jade, because we only have two minutes before Zackery's loud ass enters here."

I couldn't help but giggle, imagining the scene. "He could joi-ahh!"

My response was cut off with a moan as Zeus began to pump his cock into me. "Imagine later," he breathed as he fucked me hard and fast. "Enjoy me fucking you."

The lights began to flicker on and off, and my body shot up in temperature, my fire and thunder elements rising to his commanding declaration.

All I could do was enjoy and hold him tightly, our lips crashing against one
