Boma's eyes lingered on the last line of the rule she had just read -
My girl must be at least, above average.
It increased her anxiety. She managed to control herself as her eyes traveled down to continue reading.
3.No unnecessary closeness with any guy. No flirting either.
No clubbing or partying without my knowledge or permission.
If you're traveling for the weekend to be with your family, I must be aware.
Don't even think of bagging an extra year in school. That means you can't fail an exam. Consider a C score, a fail. I will go through your test and examination results.
She slowly lifted her gaze and stole a glance at him. He was relaxed on the chair and engaged with his phone.
Unexpectedly, he lifted his eyes and met hers.
She returned hers to the rules and continued reading.
All-night reading at the theater is highly prohibited. Do your reading at the library or in your room.
Wear your ring at all times, especially around campus. That is one error you want to pray that you never make.
She fiddled with her left hand, trying to hide it beside her thigh. She was glad that he hadn't noticed.
Don't keep me in the dark about your personal challenges. I can't read your mind.
Take exercise and personal grooming seriously. Health is Wealth.
I don't tolerate misbehavior. (example, back talk, eye roll, engaging in fights, brawls, or cussing).
Observe the above rules and you will be fine.
Having reached the end, she looked at him and he returned his attention to her.
"Any questions?"
"Yes."
"I'm all ears."
"I'm not bright."
"I don't understand."
"Academically, I am fine with a pass."
He shook his head "ah ah. Don't give me that excuse. If you believe you're not bright, then you will act like it. Change that disposition and you will be fine. Okay?"
His words, though a bit rough were inspiring, but did nothing to stop her demeanor.
She lowered her eyes to her lap.
"I uh, I will try and pass my papers." She said and felt him lifting her chin and forcing her gaze back to his.
"A Point One's girl does not pass. She excels. I have a reputation to protect. Because of your current disposition, I will be a bit understanding. Hence, the least mark I will expect from you is a C. If you get anything below that, you will be in serious trouble. Am I clear?"
She nodded, feeling cornered. Even her parents had not given her this kind of tough time before. She was in serious trouble.
"Any other concerns?"
"My roommate goes for all-night reading. I may like to join her some time because she said everyone is inspired by seeing others studying."
"All night reading is not safe. This school is not such a secure place. If rivals want to hurt me, that theater is perfect for an attack."
"I will be careful."
"You can never be too careful. Do not go there. Use the library. Period. If I find out you ever did an all-night reading, after this warning, you will regret it. Any other question?"
"About partying, can you be more elaborate?"
"For security reasons, you cannot just get up and attend parties outside campus without my knowledge. Do you understand?"
She nodded.
"About exercise and grooming?"
"Yes, what's confusing about that?"
"I'm not fat."
"Exercise should be a lifetime lifestyle affair. It's not just about weight loss. You will register with a gym asap."
She saw a perfect excuse and took it. "I can't afford a membership."
"I wasn't expecting you to go out all by yourself to find a gym. I already belong to one off-campus. You will join me there three times a week. I will communicate the schedule and Phillip or Standfast will come to pick you up."
"Who are they?"
He pointed to his closest pals at the other table. She recognized both guys who had stopped her from leaving the bar after receiving his intimidating note.
"Okay." She said.
"Good. Any other concerns?"
Her eyes fell again. "You- you mentioned personal grooming."
He lifted her chin again, making her meet his gaze. His look was intense at first. Then a tiny smirk softened the intensity. His voice dropped a notch.
"I like a clean girl. Shaved underarms and-" he traced his finger lightly from her shoulder down and rested his palm at the apex of her thighs.
Instant sensual heat flooded her system even though layers of clothing covered her skin. She hated it because it was wrong. It felt wrong. He was after all, dangerous.
"I prefer this special treasure shaven with some pretty hairs left."
She panicked. "I can't- I can't have sex with you."
He studied her for a few seconds, watching her breath quicken.
Then he slid one palm behind her neck like he had done the last time, rendering her motionless as he took her lips. With his free hand, he kept her waist still, one leg, trapping hers against the sturdy chair.
She gasped at how quickly she had become trapped in his hands.
She could do nothing as he kissed her, taking his time to ravage her lips.
Her first gasp of surprise was muffled by his sensual onslaught. As the kiss went on, without him showing any signs of stopping, she gradually felt her resistance weakening. Then she heard a soft moan escape her. It spoke of surrender. Shame flooded her body.
It was at that moment that he suddenly released her, leaving her dazed, a bit shaky, and embarrassed.
Her eyes on his remained dazed.
They were both aware of catching others' attention in the room, but their gazes remained locked together.
Her eyes gave up first and fell to her lap, no longer able to withstand the intense look in his attractive eyes.
"You have a sweet moan." She heard him drawl, feeling his finger tracing her lips. "I like the sound."
She kept her gaze on her lap, her fingers laced together.
The finger on her lips traveled down to her chin and forced it up. She met his gaze again.
"Do you want me to do that again?" He asked. "Because I enjoyed it. And I know you did. Didn't you? Be honest."
"It- it doesn't matter."
"What doesn't matter?"
"Whether I enjoyed it or not."
"The reason being?"
"You're- you're the kind of guy my mother warned me about."
An amused chuckle escaped his lips.
"And what kind of guy would that be?"
She lowered her eyes again. "A bad boy."
"Well," he said, forcing her gaze back to his as usual. "This bad boy likes you." With that, his lips descended on hers, claiming it again.
The kiss went on for a few more seconds. Boma didn't know how long she could keep still under his arousing onslaught. She could barely move, anyway. He had her immobile.Donovan had no intentions of letting her go until he got what he wanted. A small moan of surrender escaped her lips and when he heard it, he released her with satisfaction. That was what he had been waiting for.She looked at him with dazed eyes again, her breathing fast from being thoroughly kissed.She set her eyes on his chest, her face colored with embarrassment."Are you a virgin?" He asked, wanting verbal confirmation.She started to nod, decided against it, and stayed silent."I asked you a question."Her eyes remained on his chest."Do not make me repeat myself."She snapped out of her silence and nodded."I want words.""Yes.""Hmm. Even though I suspected correctly, it's still a bit surprising in this era. Nonetheless, I like it."She didn't say anything. She pressed her lips together, wishing she was anywhe
As he caressed her hand, she held her breath. She could feel her hands trembling in his."I've told you to relax," he said, his eyes fixed on the road."I am relaxed," she replied."You're not. I can feel your hand shaking. Relax. I won't hurt you. Never without reason."He squeezed her hand gently in his palm. It felt warm and pleasing. It helped her let go of some jitters."That's it. Relax." He encouraged. Then he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it before releasing her.She immediately covered it with her right hand again."Is there something on your mind that you will like to share?""No.""Is there something you need to tell me?""No.""Okay. Perhaps, it's something you need to confess?"She have him a furtive glance, wondering if he already knew and was just acting like he didn't. She didn't believe he knew. With his temper, he wouldn't be sounding this cool if that was the case."Nothing." She said."Hmm. Okay."She held onto her stand. It would be bad to draw attention
After a few seconds of silence, her fear prompted her to voice her immediate concern."Please- D, please where are we going?""You'll return to your hostel in the morning. Don't worry. Tomorrow is a lecture-free day, so congratulations on picking the right time to test me.""I didn't mean to lie." Her words came out in a rush due to her heightened state of anxiety."Oh, now she admits the truth." He said mindlessly. "How honorable. I'm impressed.""I won't do it again." She fervently promised."Yeah. After I'm done with you." He declared.Her mouth began working a mile a minute to explain herself."Please, I'm sorry. I forgot the ring on my bed. I was going to wear it before getting out but I was running late and forgot it in my haste. It wasn't intentional.""A point one's girl must always wear her ring. You need that driven into you.""No. Please, it won't happen again." She pleaded. "I promise it won't." God, she was so scared."You're right, it won't. " His tone was uncompromising
After shedding tears for a while, Boma managed to put herself together and sat down on the immaculately tiled floor. It felt cold because of the air-conditioning.At the same time, the burning ache on her bum intensified, so she quickly rose to her feet.Her eyes scanned the ornately decorated bedroom. She was looking for nothing in particular. She had nothing to do and had no choice but to observe her environment.Nothing in the fancy decor interested her. She wanted to return to her hostel but she knew she was stuck there. Slowly, she let herself wander around the room.She saw his engineering kits stacked neatly on a large table. She saw his books occupying a shelf with enough room left for more books.She saw his timetable plastered on the wall before his reading table.She saw pictures of him posing with his friends on the wall. She saw a family portrait with him, a little girl and boy of about 10 who had his eyes and a pretty girl around her age. This one had brown eyes. They m
Donovan watched her, observing her fear as he kept beckoning her forward."Boma," he said. "Yes." "Come here." Boma remained still, frozen by fear. "I said come here." He beckoned her again. "Are you angry?" She could not tell. A dark glint in his eyes made her suspect that he was angry.The confusion scared her more than the assurance. It would have been better if he was clearly showing his anger. At least, that way, she would have an idea of what to expect. "I'm not angry. Just come closer." He urged. "Come on, scoot yourself forward." She shook her head. "I didn't mean to say- I didn't mean to say what I just said." "Draw closer, Boma. Don't make me repeat that." His tone was stern now. She carefully scooted herself close to him, struggling to control a threatening uprising storm of jitters. "Now, repeat what you just said to me a few seconds ago." "I said that... that if you're free to see others, then I am also free to...to do the same." she stuttered. "I see. And her
His lips met her neck, kissing, sucking, and licking. His fingers gently caressed her ears. To her surprise, she started to feel pleasant feelings dancing across her skin.He gently nipped the skin of her neck with his teeth and a soft moan escaped her lips.Before she could dwell on the shame that flooded her as a result of the moan, he claimed her lips with a kiss.She clamped her mouth shut, pressing her lips together to fight off his kiss. His mouth came to her ear immediately and his hoarse voice filled her ear with a whisper. "I don't expect you to respond to my kiss. After all, you've not even known how to kiss, but I expect you to keep your lips steady and available for me. Do it now."She obeyed and released her lips. "Good girl." He praised and claimed it again with a gentle kiss. He gently nipped at her bottom lip, brushing his lips against hers, teasing the surface with his lips until finally, he invaded and started exploring her lips with his tongue, stopping when a slig
He left her in the room and she lay tensed up on the bed, expecting his return. As time went forward with no sign of his return she managed to fall asleep.She woke up in the morning to his hand caressing her face."Good morning, sleepy head." He greeted, sounding good-natured."Good morning." She responded, not returning the favor. She knew she sounded begrudging. He didn't seem to mind as he kissed her forehead."Get up. You need to prepare for breakfast.""I need to go home.""Home or hostel?" He asked."Hostel.""Good. Your hostel is not your home.""I know, but that's my home here.""Don't we all feel that way?""So it's not a problem if I call it home, right? Since you agree with me?""No, it's not. But I got what I wanted. You fell into conversation mode."Her brows furrowed at his jibe and he smirked at her and she took the moment to observe he was wearing a night robe over his PJs because of the cold."I want to go home." She declared and gasped as he pulled her up roughly t
"Shut the hell up!" The girl shouted, dragging Boma's hair."Abigail, stop that!" Donovan cautioned the girl but she kept on dragging Boma's hair.Boma cried out in pain as she struggled, her eyes shut tightly because of the pain.Donovan drew forward and separated them."Fucking slut!" Abigail cursed out at Boma."Stop it!" Donovan cautioned her again."No. She's a fucking whore!"The insults got to Boma. Donovan's grip on her wrist was mild so she easily slid free and threw herself against Abigail with all her might.Her move was so swift and unexpected that Abigail and Donovan were stunned.Abigail landed on the ground on her side. Boma seized the moment of her helplessness to sit on her and proceed with raining slaps and blows on her face.Abigail screamed in pain. "Get off me!" She cried out. "Get off me, you whore. Donovan, do something, please.""You -are -the-whore!" Boma yelled, punctuating each word with a blow. She continued her assault on Abigail for a few seconds until sh
