Chapter Fourteen

Ella

My stepmother didn’t notice my absence. Or maybe she did and just didn’t care. All my chores were done before school this morning, which seemed to be her only concern in terms of my existence.

I blew a stray strand of hair out of my face and waited for my English class to begin.

It was surreal sitting here after everything I’d learned over the weekend.

Fae are real.

Tray drinks blood.

Tray kisses like a god.

I shivered at the memory of his hands roaming up and down my sides and the way his thigh had lodged between mine as I pressed up against him. My experience wasn’t vast. Dash had kissed me a few times, pawed at my boobs outside my clothes, and grabbed my ass on several occasions. Nothing exciting and certainly not like what Tray had done to me.

“Daydreaming about me, dove?” Tray asked as he sauntered toward the back of the classroom. He’d been busy shooting the shit with Charlie near the classroom door—a task I was sure he’d despised, yet somehow pulled off with an easy smile the whole time.

I batted my eyelashes up at Tray as he stopped in front of me. “I am, actually. I just stabbed you through the heart and it was glorious.”

A few students chuckled around us, the human sheep always eavesdropping.

“You wound me, Cindersoot,” he drawled, collapsing into his chair.

“If only it were real,” I returned.

We’d decided our best play was to feign hatred and animosity toward each other after what went down at Homecoming. Ryan would love the idea that Tray had to work to earn my heart—because breaking it in the end would be all the sweeter.

“Oh, it was real,” he replied, loud enough for everyone to hear. “Every lick, moan, and kiss, darling dove.”

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, you kissed me at the dance. Big deal.”

“You seemed to think so.” His irises smoldered as he looked me over. “I bet you’d kiss me again under the right circumstances.”

My lips twitched because, yeah, I’d totally let him kiss me again under pretty much any circumstance. But out loud I replied, “Sure. At night. While you’re dreaming.”

He winked at me. “We’ll be doing a lot more than kissing in my dreams, dove.”

“And you’ll be endlessly dying in mine, dick.”

Professor Montgomery chose that moment to enter, her focus immediately falling on me. “Miss Cinder, language!”

“This project you’ve assigned is impossible, Professor Montgomery,” Tray said, wasting no time. “She won’t even agree to meet with me for the project despite my offering endless hours for the interview.”

I coughed out a laugh. “Excuse me, but I recall you saying you were busy every night last week.”

“I don’t recall any such claim,” he replied, his attention on the teacher. “How am I supposed to finish my first assignment with a partner who refuses to work with me?”

She set her bag on her desk, her expression one that said she truly hated Mondays. Or maybe it was her students she despised. Or just us.

“Is that true, Miss Cinder?” she demanded.
