It was Monday morning meaning back to classes, which suited me fine after the weekend I needed something to keep my mind of him and by him of corse I mean Dantalis the man haunting my very dreams. Why? I had no idea I'd only known him for a few hours yet I couldn't get him out of my head.
"arghh!"
Frustrated I found myself growling at my reflection in the mirror.
"what's wrong hunni?"
Bree sticking her head around the corner asked
"nothing,"
Shrugging her shoulders she went back to getting ready herself, I shook my head get a grip Reece! It's not like you'll ever see him again.
Leaving the apartment with Bree we headed for uni. Bree was majoring in dance and I was studying ancient cultures. Complete oposites she and I but somehow it worked instant friends from the begining when she had an advert up for a roommate we hit it off straight away. Her bubbly energy always had me in a good mood.
"you got English lit first up?"
"yup,"
"ewe how you sit through that boring stuff I'll never know."
"it's not that bad you should come to one of my classes its awesome plus the teachers super hot."
"well in that case… nope still not interested."
She laughs
"Especially after Friday night god Cam was hot plus a dynamite in bed. Too bad you didn't hit it off with… Dantalis was it? Anyway what I wouldn't give to have a second taste."
I shook my head
"doesn't that go against the rules of your one nighters?"
"yes but with this one I'll make an exception seriously Reece the best I've ever had."
My look of disgust makes her laugh.
"don't pull that face I heard you with kail I'm not the only one to get some even if he is a sleeze."
"He is not."
"Oh come on Reece I may have my one night stands but what you have with kail is down right strange. I mean I get that you don't like one nighters but seriously just be boyfriend and girlfriend already."
"you know I don't want anything more its convient this way I get to concerntrate on my studies aswell as satisfiy my needs I mean I'm only human when I have an itch I scratch."
"yea I get that but with him? come on Reece you could do so much better."
"I admit kails abit…"
"of a dick,"
I laugh
"but he has his moments plus it's not his personality I'm interested in"
This makes Bree burst into laughter
"well I can't argue with that."
"what's got you too laughing so early in the morning?"
We both turn to towards the voice that spoke
"speak of the devil and he shall appear, I'll see ya at lunch Reece. There's only so much sleeze I can take in the morning."
Bree blows me a kiss as she walks into the uni building towards her first class
"love you too!"
Kail yells towards her back to which she sticks her finger up at him.
"morning babe so talking about me were you?"
"just the usual."
"but of corse. Want me to walk you to class?"
It was then that I noticed a cut on his upper arm
"What happened to you?"
He raises his eyebrows following my gaze
"Oh that, nothing much got into a scufull with some guys on the field no big deal."
Leaving it at that I headed towards my first class with kail at my side.
Once at the entrance to my lecture room kail waved goodbye as I went inside
finding a seat towards the back.
It was as I was getting my books out that a strange tingling ran though me as though something was coming that called out to my very being.
Looking up my eyes pulled me towards the door just as the very person that had be plaguing my thoughts all weekend entered the room.
Entering with an air of authority that everyone seemed to sense. all heads turned towards him the scar on his eye marking him as myserious had all the girls whispering as they eyed him up. I must admit in the light of day his appearance was magnatising the leather jacket he wore hugged his toned body perfectly. Eyeing him I felt my body burn with heat as his eyes met mine I felt myself blush with the memory of his hands on my skin that night.
Not being able to look away he just continued to stare our eyes locked. The appearance of the teacher the only thing that broke our strange in counter.
"find a seat mr …?"
Not looking away from me Dantalis answeared
"Dantalis"
"Dantalis that's and interesting name, you must be new well find a seat and as you're a late starter you can partner up with someone else for this assignment."
Looking around the room the teacher's eyes landed on me and the only empty seat beside me
"perfect Reece Valor, Dantalis will be your partner on this assignment."
Stammering I answeared
"ye yes sir."
Dantalis made his way to the seat next to mine as he settled in grabbing his books our hands grazed sending electric shocks up my arm. Quickly he pulled back as if being stung
"sorry."
He muttered, the teacher started his lecture just as I was about to answear. Giving up I turned and tried to reel in my rageing hormones.
However no matter what I did I couldn't concerntate on a word the professor was saying. all I could think about was the person sitting next to me and the closeness of him. What was he doing here? I never thought I'd see him again how would I ever get though classes with him going here too?
Before I knew it class was over and I hadn't heard a word the teacher had said
"Here"
Startled I stared at what Dantalis was handing me it was his notes from class, I stared at him in confusion.
"you didn't take any notes all class I figured you might need them."
"Tha- Thank you."
I stammered.
"don't mention it. So the assignment how do you want to do this?"
"pardon?"
"The assignment we are supposed to team up on"
Good god Reece get a grib.
"right sorry yes umm we'll met at the library this afternoon?"
"sure sounds good see you then."
Getting up from his seat I watched as Dantalis left the room still stunned I took my time leaving.
The rest of the morning went like a blur I couln't concerntrate in any of my classes my mind still reeling on seeing Dantalis again. I was dying for lunch to tell Bree what had happened this morning.
Finnally after what felt like hours I practically ran towards the cafeteria to met her, until what I found had me stopping short. She was sitting down her laughter could be heard from where I stood the person that sat before her was Cam and next to him sat none other than Dantalis my heart sank will I ever be rid of him? All I wanted to do was get him off my mind yet there he was with my best friend.
in seeing me Bree stood there waving me over. reluctantly I walked over and sat down next to her and across from him.
"Can you believe it never thought we'd see these two again turns out they tranferred here from up north."
"Yes I know Dantalis is in my English lit class."
Bree looked at me with that big knowing smile on her face
"Oh really so both book worms that's one thing in common maybe there's more to Dantalis then mets the eye."
And his hands are on me- NO! I shake my head.
She winks at him laughing at my mortified expression, turning back to cam she continues flirting having done with teasing me. As they exchange numbers I feel more and more uncomfortable in my chair not knowing what to say or do with myself.
Suddenly someone comes up behind me wrapping their arms around my shoulders
"well what do we have here?"
Turning Bree smiles sweetly
"sorry kail tables full you'll have to go anoy someone else."
"Bree!"
"what, it is."
"that's fine I was gonna steal Reece away for lunch anyway, that alright with you babe?"
"no its not alright don't be so rude kail she's fine where she is."
Not wanting them to get into a full blown arguement in the middle of the cafeteria I stood up. Plus it gave me an excuse to get away from Dantalis's piercing eyes.
"its fine Bree I'll be right back."
"Reece!"
Before she can protest further I grab kail's arm pulling him away from the table, from the corner of my eye I can see Dantalis staring daggers at Kails back.
"what was that about?"
"what can't a guy just want to spend some time with you?"
"It was more than that and you know it."
He smiles shrugging his shoulders
"you were the one that said he was a dick. I was merely sparing you from having to be around him."
I shake my head
"it's too late for that my teacher has paired us up for an assignment spending time with him is unavoidable."
His face darkens
"I don't like it Reece he's bad news."
"what is with you two? What aren't you telling me?"
He sighs
"I'm not hiding anything just trust me babe he's trouble, you should stay away from him."
I shake my head
"fine keep your secrets but I have no choice I'll be fine Kail now I'm going back."
I start to turn around saying one last thing
"Oh and please try to be nicer to Bree."
He sighs in exasperation as I return to the table.
"everything ok?"
Dantalis asks having been the first thing he's said through the entire exchange that I'm startled to hear his voice. I instantly burn up at the sound of it, a knowing smile lights his lips.
"its fine."
His eyes met mine and once again I'm lost in their depths, only the sound of my name pulls me out of the moment.
"sorry what was that?"
Bree looks from me to Dantalis smiling
"are you coming?"
I shake my head
"no I've got class ill met you at home after uni."
"ok see you later hunni."
I watch as she and Cam leave arm in arm laughing the whole way.
I start to get up just as Dantalis does the same
"I'll see you later Reece."
Without waiting for an answear he walks away leaving me feeling overwelmed with mixed emotions.
The rest of the day went by fast until the moment of truth when I was to meet Dantalis in the library. Steeling myself I decided to get it over and done with quickly it was a simple assignment on angel and demons by dan brown we were asked to anaylyse the religious beliefs surrounding the book and the impact it has on today's beliefs.
As I entered the library dantalis was sitting at a desk towards the back head bent reading the book in question. Looking up as I approach he puts it down,
"so where do you want to start?"
Placing my books on the desk I began to explain what I had already done and how he could add his side to complete the assignment as a pair.
"very well let's get started."
Very quickly we immerse ourselves in our own work sometimes exchanging each others findings slowly bringing it all together.
"I've just got to go find a book about the iluminati that the professor told me about I'll be right back"
He nods barely looking up from his work. Walking through the rows of books I get further to the back of the library, however the book in question is on a higher shelf. Stretching up I try to reach it on my own however in my infinite clumsiness I slip and some of the books come crashing down.
Suddenly I'm pulled out of the way into strong arms instinctively I wrap my arms around my saviour in shock as the books hit the ground right where my head used to be.
"Thank yo-"
I start to say as I look up into the emerald green eyes of Dantalis unable to move my heart starts to beat wildly. His face is inches from mine.
"you alright?"
Blinking rapidly I try to step back realising I was still clinging to him but he pulls me in tighter. I'm frozen in place as he slowly moves with me until I feel my back hit the shelves behind me.
"Dantalis?"
He grips my wrist holding it above my head his other hand wraps around my waist, not being able to control myself my hands rest on his chest. I feel his heart racing under my fingers at my touch. He's so close that I can feel his arousal and his breath at my ear. Ever so slowly his hand travels up my back to my shoulder blades making the heat rise between my thighs the sensation overwhelming.
"so beautiful."
I hear him whisper
Still under his spell his hand leaves my skin only to touch something far more sensitive at my back. I moan at the touch even though I swear his hand isn't touching me yet somehow I feel it, I feel every bit and every bit draws more heat to my cheeks and my body. How is he doing this? He's not even touching me yet something at my back speaks to my body in the most intimate of ways.
With each moan from me his heart beats quicker, my hand caresses further up his chest as he steps in closer I run my fingers through his hair while my other hand wraps around his back. His head inches towards my neck as I tilt my head something almost instinctive calls for this desparate need to have his teeth pierce my skin. I had no idea where this need was coming from but in that moment it was the thing I wanted most from him.
Lost in the moment I inch closer to his own shoulder blades as his teeth graze my skin, he suddenly tenses as my hand gets millimetre away from its target. In an instant he suddenly steps away from me roughly breaking the contact between us.
"this was a mistake, I've got to go."
I try to grab his arm but he avoids my attempts, in seconds he's gone from sight leaving me feeling frustrated and confused.
