Chapter 20

The Stakes Are Raised

The roar of the crowd, the thud of Artemis hitting the canvas - it all faded into a dull thrum in Lucian's ears the moment Artemis uttered Laura's name.

" Professor, your girlfriend is pretty.” The words as casual as they were landed like punch to the gut. All the color drained from Lucian's face, leaving him cold. He'd known that Artemis was acting too suspicious. Suddenly disappearing from college and now reappearing and saying the most out of pocket things.

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   The Stakes Are Raised

    Chapter 20 The Stakes Are RaisedThe roar of the crowd, the thud of Artemis hitting the canvas - it all faded into a dull thrum in Lucian's ears the moment Artemis uttered Laura's name." Professor, your girlfriend is pretty.” The words as casual as they were landed like punch to the gut. All the color drained from Lucian's face, leaving him cold. He'd known that Artemis was acting too suspicious. Suddenly disappearing from college and now reappearing and saying the most out of pocket things." I don't know what you're thinking but this is between you and I. You'd better leave Laura out of it!” Lucian's growl was low as he warned.Artemis merely hummed, rather amused. “ Hmmphh... So that's her name. Lovely.”He spun on his heel, mounted his bike and with a final, chilling smirk thrown over his shoulder he sped off into the night, leaving Lucian standing alone, the lingering scent of exhaust fumes mixing with the bitter taste of fear.Lucian's mind raced, thinking of the infinite poss

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   A Deadly Compliment

    Chapter 19A Deadly Compliment One full month, no sightings, no communication, nothing. And now, he just casually waltzes into an underground fight club to challenge him?He wasn't even going to try to reason how Artemis' figured out his true identity.Lucian's lips pressed tightly as he was torn between being relieved and crashing out. Surprisingly, the crowd didn't boo. They were just silent. They knew who he was of course. Who didn't know Artemis McAlester?Apparently, he wasn't just a menace to Kingston but to society as well, but the silence was mostly because of the fear they harboured for his father. Trevor McAlester. If there was a devil in human skin, it was that man and no one wanted to cross him. Even for a reason as petty as booing his son. Artemis entered the ring, without breaking eye contact with Lucian. He pulled off his tank to reveal the lean defined torso covered in sultry tattoos, that stretched down to a slim waist with that tempting v-line in view. Those bla

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   Rumors

    Chapter 18Rumors It had been almost a month and there was still no sign whatsoever of Artemis. Lucian buried himself in work and gym sessions to get his mind off things. Kingston was a bit bearable now. He had taken upon himself to punish any student he caught bullying another and they all returned to their little shells. If the man could deal with Artemis so much that he completely disappeared, then he was capable of making their lives a lot worse. Those were the rumors. That professor Lucian had singlehandedly forced Artemis to drop out. Lucian didn't debunk these claims. As long as the staff and board of directors knew the truth, he couldn't bother himself with convincing a bunch of snorty teenagers and young adults.His office door opened and Laura entered with a bag. Over the past two weeks, she had made herself a regular. Yeah, she did bring something for everyone, every single day, but while she gave others cakes and waffles, she made him an entire course meal. And she li

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   She's Cute

    Chapter 17She's Cute?The next day, Lucian headed to work looking like a corpse. His eyes were drowsy and his head was banging with a wicked migraine. It was a miracle he was even able to move at all. He was headed to his office with his briefcase, a coat draped over his shoulders and a bottle of vodka. He was extra cranky too and might have unconsciously glared at every student that made eye contact with him. It was a relief when his office door came into sight, his name pasted boldly on it. Lucian struggled to get his keys out of his pocket for a few minutes and when he did, it was hard to get the right key to fit in the key hole. “Dammit to hell!” He cursed, ready to throw the stupid keys against the wall when a soft feminine voice came behind him. “Perhaps I can help you with that?” It was the same voice from last night but back then, he had been too absentminded to pay any special as attention to her and now, he was pissed as hell, ready to crash the fuck out and she just

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   A New Crush

    Chapter 16A New CrushLucian headed to the underground club for his fight. He couldn't get Artemis off his mind, so it was going to be the perfect distraction.He pulled on his mask and stepped out of the car. His fans immediately spotted him and crowded him in an instant.Lucian cursed under his breath. He had been so distracted that he forgot he wasn’t supposed to wear his signature mask outside.“Oh my God, it’s Black!!”“Please, sign my gloves!”“What do you think about the match tonight with Colton, the three-time champ?”A flood of questions rained on him as camera flashes lit up the back alley like a red carpet premiere.He pushed through the crowd, jaw clenched. What the hell was Copel doing letting this many people linger out here? The whole point of being a “ghost club” was that no one outside the inner circle was supposed to know who walked through the back door.If cops got wind of this? It wouldn’t just be arrests. It would be bodies.Still, he didn’t have time to care.

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   Where Is Artermis

    Chapter 15Where Is Artemis?After that fateful night, a lot of things changed. Artemis disappeared and just like when he was suspended, Kingston had a little peace. It was oddly quiet, with everyone looking over their shoulders to make sure he wouldn't just show up and announce his next victim. But he didn't show up. Not today, nor the day after, not even three days later. And it worried everyone, because with Artemis, Kingston had only one demon but with his absence, other little miscreants began to surface and Kingston became a totally different hell.The most affected was Lucian. He couldn't concentrate on anything. The only thing on his mind was Artemis. What was the boy doing? What was he up to?What happened that night flashed in his eyes and he immediately felt guilty. It has been weighing heavy on him since that night and every time, he found himself questioning if he did the right thing. Using the boy's trauma against him was a very low move, even if Artemis deserved it.
