Riley
I spent way too much of William's money on clothes, food, and things I don't need. Guilt is gnawing at me. The whole limousine ride home is miserable, but Isabella doesn't seem worried as we drive to the Rossi family's enormous mansion.
Since I didn't want my mother or Henrik to embarrass me in front of Isabella, I said I would walk home.
"William will not be mad at you. Trust me. He treasures you and wants you to be happy."
"Oh, yeah?" I question. "Then why is he standing on the curb, glaring at the limousine then?"
Isabella gives me a guilty smile. "Oh, shit. It might be because I turned off my phone as soon as we decided to skip all our classes? Including the ones that you had with him. My brother must have been worried sick."
"We are so dead." I'm sitting on pins and needles. "How do I prevent William from murdering me?!"
Isabella simply laughs, and once I step out of the limousine, I consider the option of running with my tail between my legs.
Wiliam is just too much to take in, and the fact that he is angry only adds to his charm. My jaw is close to dropping. His dark hair is styled to perfection. He is wearing a navy blue suit, and the dark stubble on his face adds to the harshness of his eyebrows. Those blue eyes are gleaming with inner rage, yet I can't take my eyes off him.
“Good evening, Riley,” William doesn't even acknowledge his sister. His intense eyes settle on me, and his lips form a wry smile. "I thought you and I were supposed to meet inside my office today?”
I gasp. "I skip my classes, and that's what you're angry about?"
“Yes.”
“Unbelievable!”
Isabella snickers at us but hurries to the door when William sends her a glare. She leaves me alone with her brother; even Bentley abandons me with his lips forming a thin line on his face. The traitor.
William steps closer, towering over me. His eyes narrow on the fake diamond necklace that I'm wearing. "Who gave you that?"
I tuck the necklace underneath the collar of my shirt. William is probably angry I brought it for his money. "I don't know what you mean..."
"Oh, you know exactly what I mean..." William grabs my wrist and pulls me into his rock-hard body. His eyes are darkened with wrath as he carefully fishes up the necklace. "Did some guy give you this thing?"
My eyes widen. "Are you seriously angry about the possibility of me having a second man in my life?"
William doesn't even hesitate. "Yes."
My mouth falls agape, and it takes me a few seconds to regain my talking ability. "You can't possibly be that obsessive!"
"Oh, honey, you really have no idea."
After that spoken sentence, William dips his head and claims my lips with his—it's an almost cruel kiss. Filled with greed and want. This isn't how you make love; this is how you show someone you own them.
William is forcing my lips apart, controlling my tongue with his. I try to push him away—what a joke. My hand only sinks into his muscles, and I almost whimper. I try to clamp my lips shut and act like this isn't turning me on, but I give in once he grabs my breast.
I kiss him back with the force of a storm, standing on my tiptoes until he hauls me off the ground. My legs wrap around him, and I stifle a moan as he bites my bottom lip. His neck is thick and he smells like desire. But love doesn’t exist. William is also my teacher and the alpha of another pack! What am I doing?!
"Wait... Stop..." I pull away from his lips and breathe into his confused expression. "I should probably get home..."
"Why do you always run as soon as I show you love?" William asks, letting his blue eyes roam over my face. "Tell me the truth."
"You said it yourself; we wouldn't last, and you're my teacher."
"It doesn't keep me from wanting you."
William’s words make me swallow down the urge to kiss him. My underwear is soaking wet, and I shudder when William presses his lips against my neck.
I part my lips and speak while breathing heavily. "William... Someone needs to be the grown-up here..."
He talks against my skin, his voice thick and raw. "Come and see me inside my office tomorrow."
"I'm not sure if that would be very appropri—"
His lips find mine once more, and he kisses me more demandingly than before, leaving me utterly breathless. "Come. To. My. Office."
"I..." I suck in a breath, about to melt while I'm held by his powerful arms. They are so strong. Sexy. Enormous. "I have a lot of classes tomorrow... Can I think about it?"
"So, come into my office in the morning?" He tightens his arms around me, and I can't prevent myself from squeezing his shoulders.
"I like to sleep in." It's a shitty excuse, but more of this and William will turn into my addiction.
"After school then?"
"Uh..." I gulp at the sexy smirk forming on his lips. William could be a goddamn Calvin Klein model. I'm unable to say no because, damn, he is gorgeous. "Sure."
"Great." He puts me down on the ground and smiles at me. My head is far underneath his pecs, and we must look straight-up comical standing next to each other.
"Great." I mimic his words because my brain isn't working.
William bites back a laugh. "I'm already looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."
"Y-Yeah..." I brush some hair away from my face, unable to keep myself from blushing when William isn't shy about staring at my breasts. There is appreciation and lust in his gaze, enough to make me clench my legs.
William keeps studying me but eventually his eyes travel to the shopping bags on the curb. He lifts an amused eyebrow and crosses his arms, prompting nervous laughter from my lips.
"Uh... I can explain?"
"Oh, really?" William's expression is the picture of entertainment, but there isn't any sign of anger. "You just felt like using my money, huh?"
I hang my head. "I'm so sorry..."
"Don’t be sorry,” William gives me a seductive smile. "All I want to know is if that necklace was bought with my money."
I don’t see the point in lying, and confess my crime. "It was."
He beams at me. "That's good. Because you're mine, and I don't want you seeing anyone else while we are having our affair."
I stare at him. "But I thought you said you don't do relationships?"
"I suck at them," William admits while his fingers roam over my necklace. Amusement washes over his features when I exhale. "But I'm the jealous type, and it can sometimes get ugly. Remember that, Riley."
My heart flutters, yet words are begging to be said. "I don't want you seeing anyone else either, then."
William breathes a laugh and bends down to be on eye level. His eyes are glowing again. "You're the only one I want, but you're forbidden fruit. I'm dangerous, Riley. Yet it doesn't stop me from wanting you."
Time seems to freeze after William's sentence. Doesn't William care that I'm a weak omega? Warmth spreads under my skin. I’m unable to speak, too starstruck. William must think I don’t want to talk because he stands up to his full height.
"I'm going to head inside," William announces. "Unless you need help carrying those bags home?" His tone goes flirtatious. "Do you live alone? Because I wouldn't say no to spending the night either."
Another night spent in William's arms?
My pussy swells against my underwear. I'm aching down there, and my arousal sends me into panic mode.
"I will be fine!" I exclaim and grab the bags. "Thank you so much for these gifts!"
I rush for the gates, leaving a somewhat confused William behind. But I'm not running away because I don't want him. I'm fleeing because I can't stop my heart from beating.
William shouts once I'm past the gates. "I see you tomorrow then?"
I should say no, but I'm not strong enough. "Probably... Yes... Maybe? Anyway, I have to go!"
William laughs. "Have a good night!"
His voice sends delicious flames between my legs, and I speed up my pace, desperate to get away from William. My underwear is soaking wet because I'm a mess. I can't be one minute around William Rossi without getting aroused.
"Shit-shit-shit!" I whisper to myself. "This isn't good... You need to pull your shit together, Riley! You can't fall for your teacher!"
I say that, yet it might already be too late.
