Chapter 1-The Game Begins

ALEENA'S POV Professor Lorcan stood at the podium, lecturing the whole class, but my mind was somewhere else—I was studying at him. He had one hand in his pocket, his other hand gesturing loosely as he spoke. His blonde hair fell across his face, and his grey eyes shimmered under the light like glass. His tattoo was peeking out from under his sleeve—oh God!—I quickly pressed my lips together to make it less obvious that I was gawking at my professor during lectures. The tattoo made him look hotter and more perfect for the plan that had been I had been working towards. Professor Lorcan Steele—the hottest and youngest professor in Westhaven’s history, and the most wanted man by every girl on campus. I watched the other girls in class—most of them wore extra revealing clothes to charm Professor Lorcan, but he didn't seem to have interest in any of them—he didn't even spare them a glance. He just delivered the lecture like it was a chore he couldn't wait to finish and disappear from

Chapter 2- I Failed?

ALEENA'S POV How did I get an F? I stared at it, wide eyed, blinking repeatedly. But the letter didn't change. The huge red F stared at me, and I even had too look at the name twice to be sure it was mine. “You got an A right?” Mira tapped my shoulder. “I got a B. Kinda good cause I didn't even try—I wrote it in a hurry, a night before the deadline. I was lucky I didn't fail because—” She nudged me by the elbow. “Why aren't you saying anything, Allie? Did you get a B too?” She said and snatched my paper from my hands. “What the?!” She exclaimed as she looked at my paper wide eyed. “How did you get an F?” She went through the paper again. “Allie, you spent three weeks on this paper and you got an F?” “Mira, I don't know how.” I shook my head. “I spent so much time on this paper. I triple checked every citation, I rewrote the introduction…” I sighed. “I can't afford to fail this class, because if I do, my scholarship gets revoked and everything I have worked for since freshman year

Chapter 3- Power Play

ALEENA'S POV I closed the door and the lock clicked, and that was when he finally looked up. His gaze travelled slowly, from my face down to my knees, lingering on my exposed thigh, and then back up. “My office hours are Tuesdays.” he said flatly. "I'm not here for office hours. I'm here to ask about my paper." I said and stepped closer, and the edge of the desk pressed into my thigh. "I wanted to know why you failed me. My essay was perfect." He tilted his head. "Was it?" Then he leaned to the corner of his desk, brought out a copy of my paper and started flipping through it without looking at me. “I must admit though,” he said, still flipping. “This is the best paper I've read this semester. Arguably, the best I've read in three years.” I blinked and shook my head. “Then why—” “Because I needed you to come here.” he set the paper down and finally looked at me. "You've been trying to get my attention for a very long time, Aleena,” a small smile tugged at the corner of his li

Chapter 4- Tough Decision

ALEENA'S POV “Really?” Lorcan looked at me with an annoyingly mocking smile spread across his lips. “Yes!” I snapped angrily. “You can't blackmail me into becoming your plaything!” I turned around and walked towards the door immediately not even waiting for his reply again. “Aleena?” he called out, and there was something laced in his voice—something I didn't want to examine further. I stopped with my hand already on the door handle, waiting for him to maybe tell me this was prank, or he was going to forget about everything and hand me my grade. He stood up—I knew that because I heard the scraping of his chair against the marbled floor, and his footsteps approached me slowly. Then the footsteps stopped, and I felt him behind me—that intoxicating smell of his perfume that almost made me forget I was angry, and the warmth radiating from his body. “You'll be back.” He leaned in and whispered close to my ear, his breath fanning my neck, and then he slip a piece of paper into my hand

Chapter 5- First Detention

ALEENA'S POV I had been awake for two hours—even before my alarm rang at 6 am. I wasn’t doing anything actually. I just lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, replaying the text I had sent Lorcan yesterday in my head. Mira stirred in her bed, then she yawned, stretched and looked across the room, towards my bed. “You're up early.” she mumbled. “Yeah, couldn't sleep.” Mira sat up and rubbed her eyes. “Have you checked the amount to appeal the grade yet? How much is it again?” “Seven thousand dollars.” I said flatly. “What?! That's insane.” Mira exclaimed. “Where are you going to get such amount of money to appeal the grade?” I didn't answer right away. I threw off my covers, got up from the bed walked to the closet, because I didn't want Mira to look directly at me while I lie straight to her face. “I've got it under control.” I pulled the closet open, looking for what to wear. Mira frowned. “What do you mean by that?” “It means don't worry about it.” "Allie." Mira's voice

Chapter 6- What was he hiding?

LORCAN's POV The knock came at the worst possible time. Aleena stood there—in front of me, blindfolded. Her dress was on the floor, and her skin was warm under my fingers. I could feel the pulse hammering in her throat—the intensity of what only my touch could do to her, and someone had chosen this time to knock at my door. "Professor Lorcan?" A male voice called out from behind the door, and I recognized it instantly. Xavier Woods. Of course. The boy had been circling me all semester, trying to prove something I had stopped caring about years ago. Aleena's body went rigid under my had because she also recognized the voice, and her hand was already reaching for the blindfold, ready to pull it over. I caught her wrist before she could take it off. “Don't,” I whispered against her ear, and I could see the way her chest heaved up and down in terror. “We're not done yet.” I pulled my hand away from her neck and stepped towards the door immediately without looking at her

Chapter 7- What does he really want?

ALEENA'S POVAfter the last detention with Lorcan, I had avoided him—and Xavier too. I didn't know what Xavier had seen or what he knew, and I couldn't risk anything further.I had to find a job.My laptop screen was the only light in the room at 2:47am. Job listings filtered by night shift.Nothing paid well enough.Mira was also on her own bed, scrolling through her own screen. “Bartending… Quite considerable. Nope, too small—eight dollars per hour?” She said, wide-eyed. “Nah, Allie, we'll go for something else.”“Hmmm.” I said, my eyes still fixed on my laptop screen, searching for a much better option.“Tutoring, campus tour guide…” She sat up too fast. “Ten dollars an hour to walk around Westhaven and lie about the food?”"I'll take anything, Mira.""You're a psych major picking up shifts instead of an internship that'd actually use your degree." She said without looking up still scrolling on her phone. "Feels backwards.""Backwards is my whole semester. If I don't appeal the grad

Chapter 8- Close one

ALEENA'S POVThat night, while I was in my dorm, sitting on my bed, I almost told Mira about the job I just got. The words sat there on my tongue for a full minute before I finally decided.Mira was already half asleep, her laptop sliding down her legs, the blue light of her screen washing over her delicate features. If I told her about the job, she would sit up and ask me questions I don't have good answers for yet—how a job with zero requirements pay double than anything other listings on that site, why the acceptance text came in less than five minutes of application, or whether I had checked if the place was even real.I didn't have answers for that—instead, I had a number in my head—seven thousand dollars and a job that might get me there faster than anything else I'd found on that site, and some stubborn part of me didn't want to be talked out of it before I even tried.So I let the silence sit instead."Sleep well," I said.She mumbled something back, closed her laptop and pulle

Chapter 9- Ray was cool

ALEENA'S POV I immediately avoided her gaze and went straight into the bar. I knew that Vivienne had seen me, she would want to taunt me with it, but I wouldn't give her that chance, so I went to the bar instead. — And hour later, I caught the sight of Xavier near the bar, while I was scanning the crowd, checking for an empty table or places to clear. He was laughing to loud, and one of his arm was slung around someone I barely recognized. He was completely at ease in a way that made my chest tighten on it's own. All of an instant sudden, the incident at Lorcan's office flashed in my mind, and my heart skipped a beat. Had Xavier seen me blindfolded in my undies standing in Lorcan's office? Was he intentionally staying quiet to file it for later use? I didn't have an answer to that, and not having one followed me for the rest of the hour, settling somewhere deep in my stomach and constantly nagging at my mind. I started taking orders on the far side of the room instead, leavin

Chapter 10- You don't own me, Lorcan!

ALEENA'S POV He wore a deep blue fitted shirt that outlined his muscles, his tattoos peeking out from the sleeves, his blonde hair falling across his face, some sticking to his forehead, like he had run all the way here, and his grey eyes that shimmered under the dim light like glass. Why the hell did Lorcan appear when I thought of him? And what was he doing here? Was I hallucinating? “So this is the job you said you got, am I right, Aleena?” Lorcan said in a low voice as he leaned over the bar. His deep and realistic voice made me realize I wasn't hallucinating. Lorcan was here for real?! “That's none of your business, Lorcan. I'm just being nice to the customers.” I said sharply. “By holding hands?” He tilted his head. “That's how you're nice to customers?” He gestured to my hand still in Ray's hands. Ray's warm smile faltered, and his eyes flickered between me and Lorcan, reading something in the air that I didn't have the time to explain. “Oh,” he swallowed an
