I waved at him. Hi.
As Kellion and Jace shook hands, KC whispered in my ear. “Kellion told me about the broken bed, too.”
Oh, did he?
I straightened in my seat, waited for Kellion to glance at me, and then I kicked him on the shin again, as hard as I could.
Kellion grunted while Jace asked warily, “Is that part of the job description?”
“Just mine,” Kellion said with a grimace, but his eyes were laughing at me.
God. This. Biker. He was just too irresistibly wicked for his own good, and right now, it was taking everything in me not to smile.
In front of us, Professor Edison clapped his hands, calling for our attention. “Start drawing, everyone, no time to waste.”
Kellion and Jace made good models, both of them able to remain still in their seats. I could see Jace reading manga on his phone while Kellion was browsing through photos of customized bikes on Instagram.
“So...” KC turned to me with a sly grin. “Did you get the bed fixed or are you staying at Kellion’s place in the meantime?”
I glared at her. Why were we even talking about this?
“My place.” Kellion had answered for me again.
I badly wanted to kick him, but I couldn’t, afraid that it would change his position on his chair and cause me to draw from scratch again.
KC looked impressed. “You must be really good at persuasion,” she told Kellion.
It was my turn to grimace. If only it was that simple, but I knew deep inside that something entirely else was the reason why Kellion was almost in complete control of my life.
Now, he was the one who handled my parents’ correspondence for me andtook charge of investing my savings. He even had me living with him. Was it really okay, the way he was suddenly the center of my world?
When my class ended, Kellion and I said goodbye to KC and Jace right away.
“You could stay behind and talk with KC if you want, you know,” Kellion murmured as we left the room. “You’re not actually required to attend the meeting with me.”
I shook my head, writing on my board, THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY HAVE MUCH TO CATCH UP ON.
His grip on my hand tightened. “You seem distracted.”
His intuition no longer surprised me, something I now accepted as another way of us loving each other even without having spoken the words.
“Was it because of what KC said?” His tone was flat. “Did I pressure you into moving in with me?”
My eyes flew up to him in dismay and I tugged on his hand, forcing him to halt in his stride and face me. How could he be so blind, even now?
I touched his face. “If anything scares...me...right now, it’s...that I’m so...happy.” A moment later, I felt his body relaxing, and I only realized then he had been tensely waiting for my answer.
“If it’s any consolation,” Kellion said unevenly, “I’m damn terrified, too, for the same reason.” He hauled me towards him, his mouth covering mine. “You just don’t know,” he whispered against my lips, “how much I need you to see me.”
I pulled away, a smile wobbling on my lips. “I’ll always see...you. Even if my eyesight...fades, my heart...will always...see...you.”
The moment I said the words, both of us froze—-
Did I really just say that?
The thought had me scowling.
A grin broke over Kellion’s lips. “That was so hot, terataki. Mushiest thing I ever heard,” he added cheerfully, “—-but still sweet.”
“Shut. Up.”
Kellion didn’t answer. Instead, he started walking faster.
“Are we...late?” I asked worriedly, doing my best to keep up with him.
He shook his head. “We need to get to the club as soon as we can.”
“Why?”
He looked at me like I was crazy. “Because you said something really hot.”
I almost stumbled. Surely he didn’t mean—-
“So now I know I won’t be able to concentrate on the meeting until I fuck you,” Kellion finished.
I choked on his words. Was he for real?
When he was close to running, I shook my head, gasping, “Kel-lion!” He couldn’t be serious.
“Just be thankful I’m willing to wait until we reach the club.” Glancing at me over his shoulder, he asked seriously, “Unless you’re okay with the ATM center again?”
What. A. Choice.
I shook my head vehemently.
“Thought so.”
One hour and two quick consecutive orgasms later, Kellion and I were the last to make it to the meeting room of Afxisi’s officers.
“You’re late,” Helios Andreadis, seated at the head of the table, growled.
“Personal emergency,” Kellion said easily. “It won’t happen again.” He took his place at Helios’ right before pulling me down on his lap. I would have protested – if not for the fact that MJ was also seated on the President’s lap.
I glanced at her with equal parts of embarrassment and disgruntlement. Was this normal?
Her face flamed. Kinda.
The meeting proceeded smoothly, the officers only coming to a disagreement about one matter, which was who would be succeeding Helios.
