Chapter 23 More Attraction
LISA
"So, you've been getting fucked by Axel?"
Tana asked or rather suggested for the umpteenth time since two days ago that my picture with Axel went viral. I'd been scared, anxious that Angel was going to call at any minute, demanding to see
me because she has seen those pictures before Prince took them down but that didn't happen.
Which meant she didn't see the pictures before they were taken down.
I was lucky, extremely lucky at that but that didn't mean I'd be as lucky next time.
But there won't be a next time. There was never going to be a next time.
"Are you even listening to me at all?" She waved her hand in my front, "or are you here busy," she winked suggestively, "fantasizing about Axel?"
God! I groaned and looked around. We were in class, granted, it was not her class and she had followed me here to interrogate me about my alleged sex life with Axel. The lecturer wasn't around but
the lecture room was almost filled with students and she was here throwing words like fuck and bang and sex around.
I looked around to see if anyone was listening to us and thankfully, they all seemed to be busy with other things.
"I've not been getting fucked by Axel," I replied through gritted teeth, my eyes blaring daggers at her, "and I wasn't fantasizing about him. Will you get lost now? Don't you have a class to get to?"
"My class isn't starting till five minutes," she replied as she leaned over as if we were in some sort of conspiracy, "you know what, Lisa? You can tell me, I'm your only friend here so if you don't talk to
me about your sex life, who'd you tell?"
"I'm not sleeping with him, Tana."
"No shit."
She didn't even look like she believed me at all.
"I'm serious, I'm not... we're not sleeping together."
She didn't say anything for a while, she just kept staring at me from beneath her glasses before she took them off.
"No shit, you serious?"
"Definitely! I told you I hated his guts." "That was before you met him personally! Girl, you guys have had it hot for each other since that day at the race and the way you were staring at each other in those pictures, it's so unbelievable you guys haven't at least kissed and..." her eyes widened as mine gave me away completely.
"YOU'VE KISSED?" She shouted, drawing the attention of every single student in the class and I leaped off the seat to clamp my palm over her mouth. She bite me and I let go immediately.
"So you guys have kissed?" She whispered-yelled with a proud smile on her face, "what else have you guys done? Wait!" She held her two hands up, "the day you came back to the hostel with that
hickey, was that him?"
"I already told you that I got that from a dare."
"Yes, I know but who carried out the dare? Does the person's name by any chance start with A and end with L?"
I looked away from her and she banged her hands together.
"Wow! I said it! I freaking said it! You guys are just what... mere days away from tearing clothes off each others' bodies and getting completely banged."
"That's never going to happen," I told her dismissively as I looked up towards the entrance and I saw the object of my nightmare entering into the classroom.
He had a hand shoved into his pockets and the other pressing his phone. He wasn't even focused on where he was going but despite that, he had the whole attention and focus of the class. The air shifted immediately he stepped into the class and my lungs suddenly became devoid of air.
Axel Ivanov was good looking, too good looking for his own good and he wielded the power of being an effortlessly sinfully hot man to the best of his capacity.
My throat dried even more as I watched him approach, muscles ripping with each movement, his biceps... I had an unwanted imagination of him shirtless with my hands and tongues roaming all over
his chest as I trailed downward and downward...
Fuck!
I tore my eyes off him and I forced myself to look back at Tana.
She was grinning at me, grinning wildly from ear to ear.
"Yeah, never gonna happen but it looks like it's happening already, in someone's imaginations."
"Get lost."
"About to do that, wouldn't want to be a third wheeler," I followed her eyes to see that Axel was now approaching our chair and she leaned closer to whisper into my ear, "it's not going to take that
much time again, you guys sleeping together, I mean."
"Get lost!" But she had already gotten lost. She just stood up and disappeared like that.
"Hi," Axel greeted as he settled beside me, his thigh brushing against mine in the process.
I jerked away immediately and I'd have moved away if the class didn't just get crowded with students as the lecturer got in position to start lecturing.
I was painfully aware of him throughout the class, painfully aware of his thighs brushing against mine with every single movement he makes, aware of his fingers brushing against mine, of how his
biceps were flexing with each movement.
I was aware of him, of his whole being and I hated myself for it.
Hated myself completely.
I didn't even hear anything in the class because Axel Ivanov was sitting beside me.
And God! What was I going to do with this need inside of me?
With this need so ravenous it's threatening to swallow me whole if I don't do something about it?
