As we walk toward our lockers, Cali leans into me. “Did Clint just wink at you?” “Looked like it.”
“Obviously you made an impression on him.”
“| guess. Whatever, it doesn’t matter.” | say as a hand comes down on my open locker door and heat seeps into my back. | look over my shoulder and see Lucas. | want a rematch tomorrow, beautiful.”
“Are you sure you're ready for that kind of embarrassment Lucas?” He leans his 6’2” frdown to my smaller 5’6” frame, his lips grazing my ear. “Winner buys dinner Friday night.”
“Is this your creepy way of askingout Lucas?” | say closing my locker door and turning toward him. From the corner of my eye, | see Clint scowling in our direction. | wouldn’t be bothered, but Anders is making his way toward Calista and Clint is right beside him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What if it is?” Lucas asks me.
“Then I’d say you need better lines, Lucas.” | turn to Cali. “We've got to move, fast.” Her head pops
and starts layer. She sees Anders and Clint headed our way. Lucas turns too
and starts laughing. “Good luck with that.”
We take off in the fastest walk we can without actually running, ducking in and out of other students to get away. “You can run, but you can’t hide Calista.” We hear Anders chuckling as we head to our classes. He’s right, since they have two classes together.
My first class is fine, but my second, Chemistry, | have with Clint. Today, he decides that he is my new lab partner. “Kevin, switch partners with me.”
| raise my eyebrow at him. “Excuse me. Kevin is a great partner and | have no desire to switch.” Okay, that’s not exactly true. Kevin’s a mediocre partner but having to stand close to Clint during our labs every day for the rest of the year, possibly touching him, sounds like torture. | may not want to be with the man, but that doesn’t mean that my body and my wolf are immune to his power and dominance.
‘Mmmm, and have you seen his wolf?‘ Andra asks me. +25 BONUS
“Yes, Donovan's as big or bigger than Zakai.’ Zakai is Alpha Anders wolf. ‘You know that’s because he’s a Guardian. They have the strength of an Alpha, or in Clint’s case, | actually think he’s stronger than Alpha Anders.*
‘I'd love to rub myself all over that fine specimen.* ‘Down girl. We need to get through this class without smelling like we want to jump his bones.’
“Done talking to your wolf?” Clint asksand | see that Kevin has moved away. It’s not like he was going to challenge Clint to stay.
“Yes.” | say and grab my chemistry book to begin today’s experiment.
I'm trying to ignore Clint, but he leans in. “I bet she likes me.”
“You're implying that | don’t like you, Guardian.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAsoft growl comes from his chest and he’s standing so close that | can feel it. “I told you to callClint.”
“Right, Clint. Well, my wolf is like every other she—-wolf out there. She is drawn to strength and power and we both know, that as a Guardian, you have both. So, your statement of the obvious seems like a pathetic way to havegive you a compliment. If your ego is so fragile that you needto tell you that my wolf finds yours appealing, then consider yourself complimented.” | say before turning back to my book.
| hear him chuckling before | feel his breath against my neck. “Beautiful, there is nothing aboutthat is fragile.”
“Good to know. Let’s get started, shall we?”
I'm pleasantly surprised that he’s actually knowledgeable about chemistry. He’s a good lab partner and where | had to carry Kevin through the labs, Clint not only keeps up but is one step ahead ofat times. | can feel my competitive nature pushing forward as we both try to show the other up.
At the end of class, as we’re cleaning and putting our items away for the next class, he compliments me. “You're good at chemistry. | wasn’t expecting that.”
I give him my best fake smile. “Well, I’m not just a pretty face, Clint. And honestly, you surprisedas well. Nice to know that you use all your muscles, not just the ones that the girls swoon over when you flex them.”
“You really don’t like me, do you?” He asks and | swear | hear a bit of hurt in his tone. But that can’t be right, why would he care what | think of him.
+25 BONUS
| turn to give him my full attention. “It’s not that | don’t like you. It’s that | have no intention of being just another girl in your revolving doorway. | don’t know why you are suddenly givingattention, but if your goal is to getinto your bed, then | suggest that you walk away now.” | tell him before turning on my heel and heading to my next class.
