effect on one of the students, honey.”

I could totally see that. “And that’s what will make you such a good choice for it. If you went into something like this cocky and confident that you knew all of it, you’d fuck up. Going in wary and feeling the way you are, means that you’ll double-check answers and not reply without thinking it through. It means you’ll pay extra attention to each thing that comes up, just to make sure what you’re saying is right.”

At this, she started to smile. “You think?”

“I know. I can’t do my job with that confident and cocky mentality. I have to take a cautious approach and double-check what’s going on so I don’t miss things, so I can assure you that how you’re feeling is a good thing.”

Her smile grew into a grin, and her eyes started shining excitedly. “I’ll speak to the people involved and get some more information, then I’ll ask DB to get the background check the principal asked me for. I think I’m going to do it.”

Her excitement was contagious, and I was grinning back at her when I leaned down to kiss her. “I’m proud of you, baby,” I murmured against her mouth before licking into it as she went to reply.

After that, I made the way I’d tormented her up to her by making her come three times before I fell over the edge myself. The way her pussy hugged me as I moved in and out of her always tested my self-control, but by the time she’d come that last time, I was cockily patting myself on the back for a job well done.

I was lying on my back, trying to catch my breath, when she snickered, “Now can I be released from my poor panties?”

It took only ten seconds to decide and give her my answer. “No. I think I want to go again.”

“Sex fiend.”

“How many times did you come?”

“Dirty heathen.”

“Remind me what you screamed that last time, baby. I can’t quite remember the exact words you used,” I goaded, smiling cockily at her.

Glaring at me, she settled back down again, until two minutes later…

“Garrett, I need the bathroom.”

Hell yes, I let her free. I’d seen what happened with Sheena, and there was no way I wanted to sleep in a bed that’d been peed on, especially if it could be avoided.

Sticking her tongue out at me over her shoulder, she padded toward the bathroom, taking her time and drawing out the show I was getting of her naked ass.

“Just remember, pretty girl, you’ve got a whole drawer full of underwear, and I’m off for the next two days.”

Shooting me a sly grin, she pointed at the drawer my underwear was in, where I kept my handcuffs and badge when I was at home so Clyde didn’t get them. “And you have handcuffs for work.”

Wanting to keep her off balance, but also excited to give her the gift I’d found her, I called, “Tamsin? If you look next to the sink, you’ll find the replacement for your My Little Pony toothbrush.” When she squealed with excitement, I added, “And two spares under it in the cabinet, just in case.”

Her response had me curling up in a ball and laughing my ass off. “I’m giving you two pairs of my panties to tie me up with. Do your worst!”

Tamsin

Nine days later…

I was so nervous I swear I was going to puke as I walked into the school, stopping to sign in and get a visitor’s badge.

Today I had Carter doing duty with me, so he was going to sit outside and wait for me. I would have felt bad about it, but when I’d asked him what was going on with Naomi as we were driving over here, he’d told me I had a booger on my face and left me in a panic trying to find a mirror while wiping my face with my hand.

See, over the last week or so, I’d gotten to know him and Logan better because they usually seemed to be the ones watching me. I knew that Logan was a sensitive guy who had a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth, which was why he was pining over a girl he grew up with, called Bexley.

I also found out that Carter knew Naomi’s family and had been in the same grade as her brother, who’d been killed with his wife in a car accident. I had a feeling that
