After getting magically healed in the infirmary by the concerned Nyiad, Ro returned to class. Ky looked at her for a long moment then said he'd like to see her after class. Ro nodded. She knew this was coming. The water magic seemed more docile in her mind today, coming easily during the test, which was good considering how shaken up she was. As she was leaving the little room, she caught Ky watching her again. He was thinking that her scent had changed again. There was an added layer of airiness to it now. The bell rang. From the other side of the door students could be heard getting up.
"We can talk in here just as well." Ky said. Ro turned to look at him. "What did my brother want?" Ro shrugged but she couldn't stop the unhappy pout that took over her mouth. "That bad?" Ky walked to her and gathered her in his arms. "Forget about it he is just one of those creatures that hates humans. Did this happen because of the necklace?" Ro shook her head and Ky inwardly sighed.
"Do you hate humans, Ky?" she asked softly not daring to meet his gaze.
"Not all of them." He replied honestly. Her eyes shot to his in confusion. He was smiling lightly. "Do you have an answer to my question?" She looked away blushing furiously.
"I haven-" she stammered. He caught her face in his hand, forcing her to turn her head and look at him.
"Maybe this will help make up your mind." He said softly, his voice caressing her. He slowly lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her gently.
She felt a jolt of surprise then warmth flood through her body. He lightly licked her bottom lip until she opened her mouth. He slid into her mouth slowly, taking his time. His tongue made gently swirls against hers and she could feel each touch all the way to her center. He was making her feel hot and needy all over. Her body demanded more, and she began to kiss him back. Ro's arms went up around his neck and she pressed her body to his desperate to feel more contact. He groaned and pushed her against the wall as her hands gripped his hair. His kiss was deeper, more urgent and she responded with a whimper as her body came alive. She felt loss when his mouth left hers, but it was immediately replaced more longing as she felt him begin to trail kisses down her neck. With one hand he gripped her breast through her shirt causing her to feel a jolt of pleasure as her body arched into him. With the other hand he pulled her hair back further exposing her long neck. She moaned as she felt him bite down on the sensitive skin just above her collar bone. He sucked on her skin and the prick of pain she felt made her want him more. With his knee he spread her legs and ground his hips into hers.
Then he suddenly stiffened and growled menacingly against her skin. Ro opened her eyes and immediately blushed. Alexi stood in the now open doorway. He wore a malicious smirk.
"Uhoh, looks like I'm interrupting. Wow teach, who knew you'd be so dirty." Alexi looked pointedly at Ky's hand on Ro's chest. Ky immediately released both Ro's hair and breast but he didn't step back. "And don't worry, I'm not mad at you." Alexi said looking Ro, "One day soon you'll only be doing that with me and the only hickeys you'll have will be from me as well." Ro put a hand up to the spot Ky had bitten.
"You don't speak to her, crow. I thought I made that clear." Ky's voice held venom as he spoke. Alexi glanced at him with a smirk.
"I am supposed to give you this. Ro and I will be going on a trip to my home next week." Alexi waved a piece of paper in the air.
"What?" Ro and Ky both spoke this in unison.
"Yep, it's all arranged." Ro remembered the trip that the Chancellor had talked about. She couldn't believe the school would order her to go on a trip with Alexi.
"Like Other it is. She is not going." Ky said firmly. Alexi pushed the note at him again.
"This is from the Chancellor, explaining that she is, in fact, going with me." Ky took the note and read it with a look of anger that faded into outrage. He crumpled the note in his hand. Then he looked at Ro.
"I will speak with the Chancellor. This will not happen."
"The Chancellor already told me it would." Ro told Ky quietly, feeling like she was betraying him somehow. He looked at her, stunned. "In fact, he told me to tell you: it was your delay that caused this and there is no point in discussing it. He won't change his mind." Ky's expression darkened.
"We'll see." Ky told her. Alexi looked at Ro then.
"We will leave at noon on Monday. I like to sleep in. It will be warm. Your mother sent you swimsuits they should be here soon. Bring them. At the very least you can wear them for me if you don't feel like swimming." Ky felt ice cold Rin flood his veins at such a speech. The room chilled as he determined he would stop this.
Alexi left. Ro made a move to go as well but suddenly Ky turned on her, his red eyes glowing. He forced her roughly into the wall and kissed her viciously. There was nothing gentle about this kiss. His tongue invaded her mouth with desperation. Ro felt a wave of desire lick up from her toes. With a snarl, Ky roughly pulled the V of her shirt to the side exposing the swell of one breast. He tore his mouth away from hers to bite down on it hard. Ro cried out as pain and pleasure warred within her. The door was still open anyone walking by could see. The thought made her nervous.
"Stop." She panted. Ky stiffened and lifted his head to look at her. His eyes were glowing brightly. The only other time she had seen them this bright was when he had caught Alexi doing something similar to her.
"You only want Alexi?" He asked, his voice dark as he narrowed his eyes. Ky felt the power to mark her pooling in his fingertips.
"What? No, of course I don't want him."
"Then you don't want me?"
"The door is open, and I should go. It's lunchtime." Ro turned to leave.
"Ro, I won't wait forever for you to decide you want me. I am a dragon. Eventually, I will take what is mine." Ro looked wide-eyed over her shoulder at him and realized for the first time that he was in his true form. She saw magic swirling around the fingertips of his dominant hand. She bolted.
Once she was a hallway away, she closed her eyes and hid the hickeys under her illusion magic.
Ro was quiet all through lunch. Ky kissing her and calling her his kept popping up in her head. She also kept hearing the words from that fantasy she had had: who do you belong to. She had just thought he was teasing her by asking whether she wanted him. She blushed thinking about being intimate with him. Her friends, aware that something had happened, didn't trouble her. They knew she would tell them in time.
