the blinds down on the door, blocking us from view from anyone else that might walk by. I expected Rogue to go off about how I slapped Godfrey, or how I embarrassed an Heir, but instead, he surprised me. “Did you kiss him?”
I blinked at his seething expression. “Yeah?”
His jaw ticked. “Why?”
I tried to think of why. I guess I could have pushed Godfrey away. I didn’t really owe him much of anything. “I...don’t know.” My answer sounded lame even to my own ears.
“Not good enough, Scar,” Rogue replied before picking me up and placing me on one of the vacant lab tables. “Give me a reason.” He was gripping my hips so hard that it hurt, but it just turned me on. Was there anything Rogue did that didn’t turn me on? I was mad at myself for being in this situation again, but his touch on my skin called to the wildness that relentlessly paced inside of me.
“I was curious?” My answer sounded more like a question than an answer.
“About what?”
“I was curious if I would like it.”
That must not have been what Rogue wanted to hear, because he practically growled before slamming his lips to mine. I was so surprised for a moment that I didn’t move, until his mouth demanded it. With teeth biting my lip and tongue, I gave in, moaning into his panting mouth as he kissed the me like he was trying to drink my soul.
He fisted his hand in my hair and pulled my head back with a painful tug before hovering his lips above my neck. “And did you?” he asked, his voice low and gruff.
I grabbed the waistband of his pants and yanked him closer, while opening my legs wider for him so he could step between them. My thin underwear was soaked. He ground against me, letting me feel his hardness, and I arched my back as I sat on the table, trembling under his touch. Why did this feel so fucking good? Why did I want this so bad? I let go of his pants to pull at his tie. I wanted him closer.
“No,” I finally answered. “I kept thinking of your hands on my body, Rogue. I kept thinking of your mouth. Is that what you want to hear? You want to know that I only get wet for you?”
He groaned and palmed my breast through my buttoned up shirt. His brown eyes trailed over my face “Why do I want you so bad when I try so hard not to? Why can’t I let you go?” he whispered, as if he were asking himself.
“Why do you want to?” I was desperate to understand. I didn’t want to stay in the dark anymore. I wanted to know what was keeping them from me.
A sudden knock on the door made him wrench his body from mine, and he ran a hand through his hair before moving away from me to check who was on the other side.
He opened the door slightly and Luis slipped inside. “You know, I’m all for a quick classroom fuck, but y’all need to get to class. Don’t want anyone wondering where we are, hmm?”
Rogue looked like he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to thank him, or strangle him for interrupting us, but he sighed and said, “Yeah, okay.” He pushed Luis out of the door before spinning around to speak to me one last time. He raised a finger to point at my face. “Don’t kiss Godfrey anymore.”
I closed my legs and crossed my arms. “Don’t tell me what to do. You’re not my boyfriend or my daddy. You don’t have the right.”
We both glared at each other, neither of us willing to give in, but both of us wanting to. What we had together shouldn’t have been so goddamn hard. All of this intensity—this burning desire—it should have helped us come together. Instead, it was just making everything so much more complicated.
“Go to class, Scar,” Rogue finally said, before opening the door and walking out, leaving me behind.
Chapter Twenty-One
I wish I could say that my only reason for skipping last period and walking home was because I wanted to start operation “bargain with Mama” to start gymnastics again, but it was much deeper than that. I couldn’t focus. I needed time to decompress. Rogue Kelly was a mind fuck of massive proportions, and every time he pulled me into his orbit, I got lost in his gravity. I wanted him, but I
