Chapter Sixteen

Oscar de la Renta and Isis

I'm in hell, Eliana thought as Aiden's class started.

Chrissy had given her a big hug when she got home and expressed how glad she was that Eliana was all right. It surprised her and made her feel warm inside. She really did like Chrissy and it was nice to have someone care about you, and like you for being you.

She had filled Chrissy in on the fictional night at the friend's house, and brought up the dinner at the country club to deflect more questions.

After bemoaning a lack of clothing options, Chrissy had decided that later on that day they were going dress shopping. She reminded her of her nonexistent of funds, especially now that her job was in a holding pattern until the store reopened. With a shake of her blond curls, Chrissy urged her out the door so she wouldn't be late to class.

Rachel was her usual bubbly self, and she went over the notes from the last lecture with her before the test at the beginning of class. The distraction helped, but she was afraid she was going to turn in a blank paper at the end of class.

The back door of the room opened, and Aiden came in with Professor Ventan. He

had a blue velvet bag as well as his usual briefcase. As the room quieted, Professor Ventan went over what the test would be on, and reminded them all cheating by magical means was strictly prohibited.

And now here she was, three rows up and two seats over from where Aiden stood,

close enough to see the red highlights of his hair. It was an effort not to keep staring at him, knowing what he looked like nude, his head thrown back as he emptied himself into her. A terrible urge to share with her friends filled her; any other guy on earth she could have happily talked about, but not him.

He seemed to be avoiding looking at her, all his attention on a blue velvet bag in his hand. Reaching into the bag, he carefully pulled out a sparkling crystal frog and cupped it in both hands.

"Wow, I've never seen one of those in person," Rachel whispered to her. "The amulets Professor Ventan is using look like standard anti-charm and anti-hex detectors, but that crystal frog is Mayan. It will show any illusion spells that might be hiding cheat notes, or answers written on someone's hand."

Eliana joined the rest of the class in staring at him. "I've never even heard of it. Are they hard to get?"

Rachel nodded and whispered, "Yeah and expensive. I guess the school has a big budget to afford those for their staff."

They both leaned apart, and stared at Aiden as he passed in front of their row with the frog. A tiny smile quirked his lips and he lowered his shields, his scent flowing over her as he passed. He kept his eyes on the frog and moved onto the next row, leaving her trying not to stare after him.
