**Josie’s POV**
My bare feet pad silently down the hall, I open the first door I come across on my way to the kitchen and sigh in relief when I see it’s a bathroom. I use the toilet before splashing water on my face. The heat from the fire has me feeling flushed. Cupping my hand under the running water bring it to my mouth and drink it, the cool water soothes my dry throat but it’s not enough. Leaving the bathroom I move to the kitchen, I open three cupboards before I find a glass and I quickly fill it with water. Two glasses of water later I still feel too hot and my head feels fuzzy from dehydration. I step outside to get some fresh air but my attention is quickly drawn to the figure in the pool. Mr Collins‘ back moves as he sucks in deep audible breaths.
“Are you okay, Sir?” I ask. He stills at my words but doesn’t turn to look at me straight away. I’m about to ask again when he finally turns and holy hell does he look hot. His hair hangs in short wet strands around his face, and his bare chest is on full display. My mouth waters as I imagine how it would feel to run my hands along that smooth skin and lick each drop of water that runs down his body. I barely register his words as he says something about swimming. Not wanting him to think I’m a creep who’s stalking him I explain that I was thirsty and needed some air before he sends me away, getting straight back to his swimming. He’s clearly not happy that I disturbed his workout. I close the door behind me and almost fall backwards when a wave of dizziness hits me. I make it to the sink and fill another glass of water, sipping it and waiting for this feeling to pass. The water does nothing to help, instead, heat rushes to my face and I feel weak, almost like I’m starting with the flu. Horror dawns on me as I realise what this is. I need to get to my bonds and get out of here. Now! I begin to stumble back towards the sitting room when a wave of desire hits me so hard that it hurts. I double over with need and a sob escapes me. No longer able to fully support my own weight I drop onto my knees and crawl towards my bonds. Another wave of crippling lust grips me and I collapse onto the cold floor, letting it soothe me as I rest and gather some strength. The door that has my bonds behind it is in sight, but like this, it feels so far away. Why aren’t they coming? Don’t they feel my elevated heart rate? Surely it should be alerting them that I’m in distress.
“Please…” I try to call for them to please help me but I can barely get the words out. I hate being a Grey female right now. Why do we have to go through this? It’s debilitating and humiliating. Not to mention completely inconvenient.
“I’ve got you,” Mr Collins says as his arms wrap around me, lifting me from the floor and whisking me away. Praise the lord for this man. Or maybe he is the lord, he certainly feels like a lord. His wet skin under my hands is heaven. I want him, all of him. “Hey, assholes,” he shouts and suddenly I can sense my bonds, they’re all around me, and I want them, all of them. Someone tries to take me from Mr Collins but I wrap my hands around his neck, I don’t want to let go. I need him, just as much as I need them all.
“If you want us to take care of you then you need to let go, Babe, we can’t do anything like this,” Theo says softly. He’s right I know he’s right, but if I let go I know Deacon will leave, I can sense it. He’s already planning his escape and I don’t want him to go. A desperate need shoots through me and I let go of him involuntarily. Arms wrap around me and suddenly there are hands everywhere, stripping me of my clothes. I’m laid out naked on the rug in front of the fire and Theo’s stunning face appears above me as he positions himself at my entrance. I glance around just in time to see the room clearing. Leaving Theo and me alone.
“Theo,” I gasp as he fills me, taking away the pain and replacing it with instant pleasure.
“You feel so good, Baby Girl,” he groans, he lowers his mouth to mine, kissing me passionately. His pace is slow and I don’t know if I’m just imagining it but this feels different with him. Maybe it’s my heat making me emotional, or it is the atmosphere that the fire is creating but this doesn’t feel like heat–fueled sex. It feels like making love. A stray tear falls from my eye as I’m overwhelmed by the emotions. Theo smiles down at me, his eyes full of affection. “I love you, Josie,” he whispers, causing my breath to catch.
“I love you too, Theo,” I smile back at him, my heart swells with love and admiration for him. He kisses me again

and there’s no mistake in what’s happening here now. I love him even more for furning, a horrible and embarrassing night into one of the best. He makes love to me until we find our release together. My heat sated and forgotten for the time being. He rolls next to me and pulls me to him, I rest my head on his chest and just abenth this feeling.
“I’ve been wanting to tell you that for so long,” he half laughs, “I think I fell in love with you the moment my eyes found yours through the window when you first arrived at the academy. I didn’t want to scare you though, I know you wanted to take things slow and I’ve been trying, but when you admitted to your mum that you loved us ! knew I could finally tell you. You light up my world too, Josie, more than you’ll ever know,”
“I don’t know what I ever did to deserve you,” I whisper, my voice thick with emotion.
“Ditto,” he strokes his hand gently up and down my back.
“You good in there?” Luke calls through the door and I know our time alone is over for now.
“Yes,” I shout back, “I guess it’s time for the clean, clean and clean,” I sigh.
“Yep, do you think we will get detention for having sex on our headmaster’s rug?” he laughs and I suddenly want to die of embarrassment.
“Shit, Theo he found me like…” I start but Theo silences me by tapping my ear and reminding me that Mr Collins could be listening. I lean up and kiss him in a silent thank you for saving me from further embarrassment.
