Chapter 22 Chapter: 22
ADDISON
When he didn't say anything I mistakenly looked up and found Shepherd wasn't really listening to me. His eyes were lowered, his mind focused on something else entirely.
I frowned and followed the direction of his heated gaze. I gasped and quickly wrapped my arms around my chest.
“You pervert!” I screamed, blushing profusely.
God, I'm so stupid. I didn't even realize my white shirt had turned completely transparent, showing my bright pink bra and the outline of my upper boobs.
He stepped back and slowly began to unbutton his shirt.
“Whh….why are you stripping? What are you trying to do?” I asked, blinking rapidly, as I cautiously took a couple of steps back.
“What else?” Shepherd replied, his face blank, his eyes though were intense. “I'm going to ravish you, don't tell me you don't want the same.”
“What the hell! I swear to God if you come near me I'm going to kick your balls Shepherd.”
He flung his wet shirt on the wet tiles as he cornered me. My heart was hammering with fear at this strange hell. I'd just gone from the frying pan to the flames.
“Come on baby, you know you want me,” he opened his hands, his dark eyes intense.
He looks so damn serious. I just panicked and bolted straight for the door. Shepherd roared, literally roared and came after me and before I could reach for the door, he'd cornered me, caging me with both hands against the wall.
“Shepherd, I swear to God if…if you.” I stuttered though deep inside something told me he just wouldn't dare do this to me. And I was right.
Instead of attacking me he snickered, his grey eyes gleaming with amusement. “I've never lacked for girls' attention that I have to force one into being with me. I might be an asshole, but I'm not a fucking rapist,” he said.
“Besides, as I've already told you, you're not my type. I can be generous though if you're willing to beg, who knows you might surprise me.” He pushed away from the way, smirking.
I just glared at his arrogant ass, as he walked back the bathroom shelf with the rolled up clean towels, grab one and….
“Shepherd!”
I yelled, shutting my eyes close when he suddenly just yanked down his pants without any care or an ounce of shame, baring his naked ass. He just chuckled and soon enough I felt him walking closer.
“Wait here,” he whispered, his warm breath so close to my face, then it was gone.
I kept my eyes shut until I was sure he's gone before I pry them open. I swallowed feeling my stomach flutter, I stride to the bathroom counter and although I'd wash off some of the batter.
I still look horrible, my hair was a total mess. Tears well up and instead of crying like I really want to do again, I sniff and hold myself back.
I'm not weak, damn it. Nor am I a cry baby.
“Shrimp?” I glanced up and Shepherd was right behind me.
“Get dressed, I'm taking you somewhere.” I turned away from the mirror. My eyes lowered to the clean dry clothes in his hands.
He'd change into black blue jeans, a black V-neck shirt paired with a leather jacket. As always he looks gorgeous.
A part of me is still angry with him, but nonetheless I took the clothes from him and waited until he was out of the bathroom before I began to undress.
I changed into his soft V-neck shirt and sweatpants, though I had to roll up the waist three times because of the height difference and still it was slightly long for me.
The moment I walked out, Shepherd grabbed my hand and started out of the room, dragging me along.
“Hey! Where are you taking me?” I tried to yank my hand out of his, but he wouldn't let go. We took the elevator and walked into a side door I have never noticed before.
It was a garage, my jaw dropped when Shepherd let go of me and headed towards a beautiful black sports car, he got in and revved the engine a couple of times. Before he glanced at me, his dark brow arched.
“Don't just stand there, get in,” he ordered.
“I'm not getting in until you tell me where we're going.”
“I'm taking you out of school, figure you'll want to be in a different place.” He shrugged. “At least for a while.”
My heart raced with excitement. I haven't been anywhere since I came to this damn school, if there's a chance I can go outside to the city I'm going to take it.
I frowned when I realized it might not be as easy to just up and leave the school compound.
“What about security? You think they'll let us go?” Shepherd grinned arrogantly.
“I have my ways.”
“What if we get suspended?”
“You coming or not, besides no one dared to suspend me.” Right, Of course he's Shepherd. “And that extends to you,” he added when I hesitated. That was all the convincing I needed. I rounded the car and got in.
Shepherd stepped on the pedal and gunned the car out of the garage taking an unfamiliar road than the one I knew.
“That's not the way. Just where do you think you're taking me?” I asked, pulling down the hoodie as we passed a couple of students on the way.
“Relax, I'm taking the shortest route,” he murmured. I bit my lip and nodded.
Shepherd drove for a couple minutes before we arrived at the back gate.
Here the security guards were fewer though there were still the standard tall walls and CCTV.
When we neared the security guard manning the gate, he opened the center console and grabbed a thick envelope. He waited until the older man was leaning close before he slid it to him.
“Drive safe and have fun, Mr Conrad,” the guard said, as Shepherd drove through the now open gate.
“We will,” Shepherd replied, rolling the windows up.
