She thought it was about her. It wasn’t—not that this will save her from an imminent death in the next five-to-seven business days.
I snap the laptop shut and pick up my phone. It’s time to end this dry foreplay and let the Professor know that the game is about to begin. What he did can be excused, but it will never happen again, and he needs to learn this sooner rather than later, or I might not be nice anymore.
Victoria: I’m back.
I barely have time to send it, and he’s already answering.
Azrael: Seems like someone missed a class.
Azrael: Already bored of stalking me?
Victoria: Never.
Victoria: I just wanted to see if you’d notice the empty seat.
Azrael: I noticed.
He’s been thinking about me. The Professor finally understands I belong in his life. Maybe not in words, but I live in the space behind his eyes now, and this is all I need—an entrance.
Victoria: Yet you filled your time quite thoroughly.
Victoria: That girl?
Victoria: She sounded more useful gagged.
Azrael: Jealousy doesn’t suit you. Though I admit, the surveillance kink? Unexpected.
I almost blush. At least he confirms what I knew already.
Victoria: But you knew and still let me watch.
Victoria: You did all that just to make me jealous?
Azrael: Jealous, delusional. Anything else I should know about?
Victoria: I’m also very possessive, apparently. I really don’t like useless whores playing with my toys.
Azrael: Your man? What are you going to do about it?
Victoria: She opened her mouth, and now I have to open her throat.
Victoria: You just gave me more work.
Victoria: Next time, keep your dick where it belongs.
Azrael: Charming.
Azrael: You really don’t have a limit, do you?
Victoria: Not with you.
Azrael: That’s your brain damage talking.
I’m the one with brain damage, but fucking a student just to grab my attention is not? Sure. Let him lie to himself, pretendingI’m the only one intrigued by our situation. He knows. I know. The game has officially begun.
Victoria: Professor, just imagine how much better last night would have been with me there.
Victoria: And stop acting like you’re not hard from this idea alone.
