I hear Bones zip up his pants, and then he kneels before me, “I’ve got practice tonight, but I’ll be over afterward. Leave your window unlocked and be naked.” He kisses me, stands, and leaves.
My head is bowed while on my hands and knees in the boys locker room, and I look up when I hear the sink turn on. I thought Bones had left … My eyes lock on Titan’s in the mirror. He’s washing his hands. I want to be embarrassed, but I can’t. The rush of knowing he was watching turned me on. I even wanted him to join.
Without breaking eye contact, I get to my shaky legs. He throws the paper towel in the trash and turns to face me.
I’m breathing heavy, and my face is wet from tears running down my cheeks. He takes a step toward me and just stands there. When he sees that I don’t stop him, he takes three more, closing the distance between us. I pant, but he’s no longer breathing heavy like he was when I watched him earlier. He reaches out, grabs a lock of my tangled hair, and twists it around his fingers. He licks his lips.
“Titan …” I whisper, thinking he’s gonna kiss me. I’m standing in front of him naked from the waist down. Not one bit ashamed or embarrassed.
Instead, he leans forward, placing his lips to my ear. His large body pressing into my shaking one. “You looked good on your knees, Em. It suited you.” He pulls away, standing up to his full height. He reaches up running a finger over my wet lips. “Anytime you need a reminder where you belong, let me know. I’ll be more than happy to help you out.” Then he turns and walks out.
Opening my eyes, I see the side door in his office softly shut. One look over where Jasmine was standing shows me that she has left me and Titan. And she just became a Queen. It’s all up to me now. I have to swallow my pride and do what must be done. And I already hate how much I’m going to enjoy it.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
TITAN
“WHY ARE YOU here, Em?” I ask, walking over to the minibar to pour her a drink. Vodka straight up. I hold it out to her, but she doesn’t take it.
Good girl.
That was a test, and she passed.
“I want to be a Queen.”
I laugh, and her eyes narrow on me. I should ask her how she found out, but that would be pointless. I can connect the dots. Shana and Jasmine are friends.
“Okay,” I’ll indulge her. “Then why are you still dressed?” She just stares at me. “That’s what I thought.” I walk back over to my desk. “I assume you can see yourself out?” I sit down in my chair, but she still stands there. “I don’t have time …”
“I want to be a Queen,” she repeats, lifting her chin.
“No, you don’t.” I gesture to the door with my chin. “Get out, I have shit to do.”
She reaches down and grabs the hem of her shirt and pulls it up and over her head. Her blue eyes stay on mine as she unzips her jeans and shimmies them down her legs before stepping out of them.
I shift in my seat. “Em …?”
“Isn’t this what you want?” she asks, interrupting me.
I swallow but don’t disagree with her. She knows what I want, or I wouldn’t have taken her phone and demanded she fall to her knees to get it back.
She slowly walks around my desk and places her hands on my knees. She pushes my chair back to allow her access to stand between my desk and me. Reaching behind her, she undoes her bra, and it falls to my feet.
“This is what you want, right? Me? On my knees?” She drops before me, and I sit up straighter. Her hands reach for my belt, and I don’t stop her as she undoes it.
My heart picks up, and my cock hardens, but I keep my eyes on hers.
“I can use people too, Titan,” she states, licking her pretty pink lips. “I know what must be done to get what I want? Do you?”
Reaching out, I grip her dark hair in my hands. “What does that mean?”
Her lips part, and she sucks in a breath.
I lean forward, placing my face right in front of hers. “What in the fuck did you mean by that, Em?”
“It means we both want something.” Her hands run down my thighs. “Or do you no longer want me?” she asks. “I remember a time when you did. You could have had me, you know? I was just playing hard to get. And you chickened out.”
“New Kings” by Sleeping Wolf plays while I sit on the couch at the frat house. I decided to go out tonight. Grave and Cross wanted to hit up a strip club, and Bones had other plans. He didn’t fill me in, and I didn’t ask. I figured he had plans to fuck Emilee. But that obviously wasn’t it when I see her walk through the front door.
