CRYSTAL POV“Is it just me or, the professor keeps looking at you?” Mia, one of my classmates who was sitting next to me whispered, causing my head to whisk upwards and look ahead. And there he was, dressed in black dress pants and a white shirt with a gray tie. His eyes were fixed on me as if he was afraid I would vanish into thin air should he stare away for a second. I rolled my eyes heavenward and glanced down at my laptop. He fuckin’ seethed. Literally, I saw his chest rising and falling with rapid breaths, and I decided to pay him no attention. I sure as hell didn’t need any kind of mixed feelings.“He always stares at people like that,” I replied to Mia who only chuckled.“Whatever it is you did to him, then it's fuckin' serious. He doesn’t like you much.” She said, and I wanted to scream and tell her to talk about reciprocal.It was Friday. Four full fuckin' days have gone by with him coming for his lectures and leaving just like that. Not a simple hi, or hey Crystal, did y

CRYSTAL POVBreathe, Crystal. Breath.I chanted this mantra over and over in my head, trying to remember how the respiratory process thingy happens all around the human body. After a short while, my nostrils flared and with trembling hands, I took a potato and a peel, then started peeling it. Today has been one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Heck, I don’t think it began to explain all the things I have passed through since Duncan told me she was going to pick me up from my house. First of all, I had to go get my ass waxed. That’s right, I was all ready to feel him inside of me so yeah, I got so prepared. Anna had to spend the night over at my place so that we can rummage through my wardrobe in search of a ‘dress’, that would be too appealing to him. I mean duh, I had to look my part. And when I called Stanley asking if I could take a day off, he was all smiles and jolly, telling me even tomorrow I can spend time with my cubbies and that I don’t have to worry about work. Like W

DUNCAN POV“And why didn’t you sleep at home last night Mr. Griffin?” Our therapist, what’s her name again? Never mind. She asked from her seat which was opposite the big couch where Felicia and I were sitting on. I swear this couch was started to feel like a seat of judgment.“I needed space,” I replied shortly causing her brows to frown. “And why is that?” Because I can't fuck my sub at my home?“Well, I just needed to clear my head. Not that only, I just need a break from everything. You have no idea how exhausting my life is.” I pinned my gaze on her, and she gave me a small nod.“Which part of it is actually ‘exhausting’?” she quoted the word using her fingers.“The part where I try to convince Felicia to sign the papers, driving home to a loveless house knowing I might be greeted by a knife as soon as I enter through the door or loud head-splitting screams, the list is endless.” Even though Felicia has been on her best behavior. But I couldn’t say that for some reason.“But fro

CRYSTAL POVLater that day, I sat on the carpeted floor of my living room, an ice cream tub in front of me, wet tissue papers loitering the entire floor, and my best friend staring at my face with her hawk eyes. My eyes were so puffy from crying, and my face was probably twice its normal size. I seriously didn’t even want to know what I looked like right now.“Okay…” Anna exclaimed before scooping a generous amount of ice cream from the tub and holding it up in front of me. I sniffled the tears back and wiped them with the sleeves of my oversized sweater, before opening my mouth. She shoved the entire spoon and left it hanging from my mouth. I took it with my other hand and placed it back into the tub, then leaned back onto the couch behind me.“Detective Anna to the rescue.” She pulled her MacBook onto her lap and her hands hovering above the keyboard. She tossed her head upwards and gave me a penetrating gaze.“Give me a name.” She said with a straight face, void of any playfulness

CRYSTAL POVThe rest of the week whooshed by in a fraction of a heartbeat, and I was still adamant in my wholesome crusade of being presumptuously and royally petty. It may be outlawed in the world of Doms and Subs to do what I was doing, but fuck it!Duncan needed to be taught a lesson as well. And I didn't mind being his tutor and forcing him into some Learning Training. Hopefully, he'd have something to flaunt as the certificate of excellence when I finish with him. And with that thought in mind, I made sure to ignore his possible aliveness for almost a week. Thursday came, and I was still head-on about not disregarding him by all means possible. However, that was hindered when Burkie woke up with an ugly fever, so bad that I had to run him to the hospital and gave up the whole idea of showing up to school.Thank God there was a little group to which they sent the notes, or else I would be a lump of dead meat.Anna stopped by in the morning to pick Rosey up for school, while I st
