Chapter 295
WILLA
I woke up with a jolt. I sat up quickly, looked around me.
At first I didn't know where I was. Then I remembered. I was in Lucian's tent. And just like that the events of the night before came crashing down on me.
I hoped, I prayed, that they were false memories. Or erotic daydreams like the ones I sometimes had of Lucian.
"Please. Please," I whispered into the darkness.
I looked down at myself and groaned. I was wearing nothing but the blanket which had slipped past my bare shoulders.
I shifted slightly, felt the ache between my legs where Lucian had- had entered last night. Beside me Lucian stirred in his sleep.
He was lying on top of the blanket. Through the little moonlight filtering in through the tent, I saw he was naked too. Without a stitch on.
With a groan, I buried my hands in my face. Hot bitter tears stung my eyes.
What had I done?
How could I have been so stupid as to sleep with him. I had sworn I would never be his plaything.
Yet here I was. Just one of the many girls he had screwed.
He probably had just used me as a rebound after breaking up with Naomi. If ever there was a stupid, pathetic fool in this world, it had to be me.
I flung the blankets away, groped in the dark for my clothes. I could have opened the tent flap to let in some light, but I did not want to do that.
It could wake Lucian. The last thing I wanted was to have a conversation with him right now.
After aa couple of minute, I found my clothes thrown in every direction. My lace panties were torn. I remembered Lucian ripping them off me last night just before he-
I shook my head to clear it. I had to get the hell out of here. And fast.
I pulled my clothes on, stuffed my panties into the back pocket of my jeans. I wasn't going to leave it lying around as a souvenir for Lucian.
I was willing to bet he had trunk full of those from every girl he had ever slept with. I carefully did up the buttons on my shirt just in case there were any students up and outside at this hour.
I turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Lucian asked.
His voice was thick with sleep. I gritted my teeth hard against the cuss words I wanted to use on him. I dashed out of the tent before he could do something stupid like forcing me not to leave.
Maybe the asshole even wanted me to screw him again.
"Damn you, Lucian," I muttered under my breath. "Damn you. And damn me too for being such a fool."
There was no one outside. From all around me came the deep, heavy breathing and light snores from the students. The first streaks of dawn had begun to appear in the sky.
I picked my way quietly to my own tent.
I sat there, with my knees drawn up to my chin, cursing myself for being so stupid. I should have known better. I should have done better.
Within minutes of staying in my tent, I felt like I would go out of my mind.
I scrambled out of my tent and headed for the remains of last night's fire. A figure suddenly came out from behind a tree and I found myself face to face with Lucian.
My mouth went dry.
He was shirtless. His faded jeans hung low on his lean hips. He thrust his hands into his back pockets and his pants slid lower.
I swallowed. He wasn't wearing a belt. Did he realize that those jeans could just... slide down his hips at any moment?
The sun started to came out then, a golden disc behind him. It bathed his features in a warm glow. In that moment, he looked like the god of seduction.
I dragged my eyes away from his abs and up to his face.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
I shrugged, doing my best to look and act unconcerned.
"Isn't it obvious?," I said. "I'm getting some air."
"Some air," he repeated.
There was something in his tone that said he did not believe me.
"Yes," I said. "We did what we did last night and that's it. Wait. Were you expecting me to move into your tent or what?"
Lucian crossed his arms over his chest. I imagined his muscles rippling as he moved.
Now it was an effort to keep looking him full in the face. Somehow I managed to.
On Lucian's lips- lips I had kissed last night, an annoying voice in my head reminded me- was the ghost of a smile.
