Chapter 15: Monster (5)

I followed him upstairs. He put me down on the counter of the sink.

He rummaged below in the pantry and got back up with a handful of disinfectant, bandages and patches.

‘Let’s see, what we have here today, miss Elmrose.’ He mimicked a doctor and I found that funny again.

‘Stop it!’ I giggled. He started with my face, a smile on his lips, tipping my chin up. He let his gaze wander over my nose, my forehead, eyes and finally my lips. He swallowed. ‘A little scratch here.’ He cleaned the wound and put a small band aid on the right side of my temple.

‘Now….’ He glanced down, letting his fingers hover over my arms, they were all good beside some superficial scratched of her nails. ‘Oh, we got a winner!’ he reached for my breasts and fished a broken nail out of my cleavage.

‘That’s… that’s disgusting…’ we both made a face and quickly discarded the red thing. I also noticed one of my straps had broken. The bitch, this dress has been brand new and expensive!

‘Legs!’ he grabbed my right leg. ‘Might need some extra time for these long limbs.’ He teased and I snorted. His calloused hands carefully gliding over my thighs to my ankles, sending goosebumps up over my entire body. There was one deeper cut, from the heel of her shoe on my upper thigh. He patched that up quickly. I groaned as he lifted me up and placed me down again. The effort of the fight did have strained some muscles. ‘Nice high kick tough.’ He complemented.

‘It was wasted on her.’

He laughed out loud, head fallen back with pure joy at that. ‘Damn right it was.’

I almost forgot about my hair. I quickly turned towards the mirror. I saw one bald patch when I put my hair in a different position, but it was fairly okay.

We made it back downstairs and I started to forget all about it. Andrew made me another drink, I could clearly tell it had but a small drop of alcohol in it, but I wasn’t going to complain. I would sneak a shot from Jax outside when Andrew wasn’t looking. The party was now full on raging on the beach. The entire cabin almost abandoned. It was mostly students now, all professors including my mates had long ago left the party. Ash hadn’t even seen me scrap. The fact that he hadn’t said hi did hurt me a little.

Sky was waisted as all hell. She was now sitting on the side of the dancefloor, trying to dance with her arms. The others were sweating really hard or just wet from a dip in the water, I couldn’t tell anymore. My friends were a hot mess and I hoped I looked a little better than they did.

Sebastian came over a few times to kiss me. He could barely speak from being so wasted.

I was dancing and grinding on the dancefloor, on Dexar and Nexxar with Olive and Baylor when Sebastian came running back into the circle. ‘Swim time!’ he yelled so loudly everyone cringed. He also turned the music up way too loud. He grabbed me before I could react. I had a drink in my hands and was struggling with letting that go. Jax had topped Andrew’s drink with something stronger and I didn’t want to waste it. So I hesitated too long and now I was swinging over Sebastian’s shoulder, panicked and trying to keep my liquor in my cup. ‘Put me down Seb! No, not the water!’ I screamed but he just threw me in, dress and all. Cup in my hand. My entire body went face down in the deep end. It was cold.

It was also a good thing he had thought me how to overcome my fears for the water, otherwise this entire thing wouldn’t be as funny. I was aware of many others jumping in beside me. Since I heard splashes all around me. The guys were now throwing in all girls. Besides Skylark. Everyone luckily realised she was too far gone to even stay afloat. She would probably sink straight to the bottom of the lake with the amount of alcohol she had consumed tonight.

I saw Jax usher Skylark to one of the bedrooms upstairs. That was probably a good idea.

‘You bastard, I’ll kill you for this!’ I yelled at Sebastian’s drunken head but he just blew me a kiss.

I swam for the shore. Dripping wet, dress, broken and clinging to my body, shivering a little from the cold. Make-up probably under my chin. What a night.

‘I need something else to wear.’ I said to Andrew who was slightly amused with the sight of me.

‘Damn princess, don’t shiver out of that skin now. I don’t want to tell Vincent you died from being too cold.’

I flipped him off and stalked upstairs. Sebastian had some spare clothes here. I could borrow his shorts and shirt. Andrew entered the bedroom this time. Without thinking I got rid of the wet dress immediately and stalked towards the drawer in my black lingerie.

’Shit princess.’ He uttered so quietly I didn’t quit know I’ve heard that right.

‘You said something?’ I turned around, holding two pairs of shirts in front of me. Deciding which one I wanted, wobbling slightly on my legs because I was all of a sudden very drunk.

It stayed quiet. I glanced at him. He was sitting on the front of the bed. Legs wide like all bad men sit. His pupils dilated. Softly looking over my body.

‘Don’t be such a perv.’ I stated.

He chuckled. Stood up and stepped closer. He was almost forehead to forehead with me now. I swallowed. The tension in the room thick.

’Not that you don’t look incredibly alluring right now. With that tight little lingerie set, all wet.’ I followed his eye sight and glanced down, my nipples were hard as a rock too.

He licked his lips slowly, smirking darkly. ‘But you have…’ he turned me around roughly. My half naked ass wasn’t contained in that tiny little thong. It couldn’t be. My entire body flushed. ’Another fake nail, hanging on your thong princess.’ He took his time flicking the thing off. I shuddered. ‘That’s disgusting.’

‘How did it get there?’ He wondered, amusement lacing his deep voice.

‘Good question…’ both of our voices a little hushed, a little deeper.

As he flicked it off he slowly touched my rear a little. The flick of the nail, causing his fingers to leave a little love tap. My lower body did a low hard flip. He turned me around again, a little roughly which made my boobs bounce. He grinned. Dimple popping. ‘Vincent put me on quiet some detail.’ He whispered. Running this thumb over his lips. He was now full on eyeing me and not even trying to hide it. My nipples peaked even harder under his intense stare.

‘The red one…’ he said after a tense silence. A few moments later and I was sure he would have kissed me. My entire body too tight, too needing.

‘uh.. what?’ I stammered like an idiot.

‘The red shirt princess.’ He grabbed it from my hand. ’The white shirt will be instantly see-through, since you’re so… wet right now.’ He whispered those last words in my ears and I did not miss the innuendo.

I swallowed. ‘Yeah, you’re right.’

‘Ain’t I always?’

We went back to the ferry and the car. I wasn’t staying with that intoxicated boyfriend of mine.

Somewhere on the road I fell asleep. I was vaguely aware of someone carrying me to my dorm room. Putting me under my soft covers and kissing my forehead.
