I follow Luke into the first room and my jaw drops. It’s huge! And that bed is almost the size of my entire room at home. It must have bedding specially made for it because that’s no standard size.
“Well this one is obviously yours,” Luke laughs at my expression.
wwwhat? I can’t sleep in that, I’ll get lost,”
“Then it’s lucky you have plenty of men close by to come find you,” he hums leaning down to kiss me. I indulge him for a moment before, breaking away to explore further, Lake follows as I check out the next room, it’s nice. It’s much more modest with a king–size bed.
“I’ll take this one, you can have the o
I tell him.
“Not sure that’s going to work,” he laughs.
“Why not?”
“Because, my little goddess,” he pauses to grip my hips from behind and kiss my shoulder, “I don’t think we would all fit in this bed,” he chuckles.
“Excuse me? I will not be having everyone in my bed, at the same time,” I exclaim, feeling quite offended at his suggestion.
“My bet is we will all be in there within the month. At the rate your powers are developing I’d say you’ll shift soon, and when you do, you’ll go into heat. Then you’ll be begging for all of us, and we won’t be able to resist your call,” he purrs.
“Woah, back all the way up. I will never beg for Mason. Ever! Now explain this heat thing, because I’m…”
“Shh, calm down, its okay,” he stops me mid–rant, “you’ll learn about all this. Try not to worry about it for now, we have ways to take some of the heat off, pun intended, to make it easier for you,” he tries to soothe but I can feel the panic building within me.
“No,” I shout, refusing to accept this. I pull out of his hold and storm out of the room.
“What’s wrong?” Theo asks as he rushes out of Mason’s room, panic in his eyes. He looks a little dishevelled and his lips are kiss swollen. If I wasn’t about to completely lose my shit I’d be happy for him.
“She’s fine, just a little scared about the heat thing,” Luke says, coming up behind me once again. Theo comes to my front, taking both my hands in his.
“We will look after you, baby girl, all of us. I promise.” he declares. “Just breathe,”
I take deep breaths, pushing the bubbling panic down. Axel’s eyes meet mine from across the room and I know he sees the fear there. He gives me the smallest of nods, a silent promise. My eyes shift to Mason’s room. I don’t want him to see me like this, but it’s too late. His eyes are on me, reflecting my fear. Then as if flipping a switch his expression becomes guarded, it happens so fast that I’m not sure if I imagined it.
“Come on, let’s find you some clothes,” Theo says, drawing my attention back to him.
By the time I’ve taken a quick shower and redressed I feel much calmer. If I’m going to turn into some sex maniac and beg for them all then I have work to do first. Because over my dead body will I beg for Mason or Deacon without having them begging for me first. Filled with determination and confidence I leave my room wearing the shortest shorts I could find. They’re black and definitely show some cheek. I pair them with just a leather jacket, zipped just low enough to show the red bra underneath. I’m not a model by any means, but I know I’m not ugly

and I’m comfortable enough in my own skin to pull this off the guys are all sitting around the living area on the couches. Theo and Axel are talking quietly, Mason is looking at his phone and Luke is studying my Alexa device that he’d stolen.
“Let’s get this over with,” 1 announce, I pay careful attention to Mason. His eyes roam my body and he sits up a little straighter in his seat. When his eyes reach mine I give him a victorious smirk and he scowls. That’s my first win.
“Damn, Baby,” Theo whistles.
“I prefer you with the clothes off,” Luke winks.
Axel’s gaze is on his feet and my steps falter. His mannerisms remind me of the teenage boys I went to school with before they found their confidence around girls, Maybe he just needs some time to adjust. I push the thoughts away, it’s something to work on with him later. Right now we need to get this Spark thing out of the
way
“She is a real heartstopper, isn’t she Axel?” Theo nudges in and I don’t miss his double meaning, Axel nods in agreement.
When we arrive at the science rooms Deacon is waiting for us. His eyes catch mine as we approach and I don’t miss the flash of blue.
“Miss Banks, could I have a word with you in private?” he asks and my heart skips a beat.
“Of course, Sir,” I say, emphasizing the Sir part. He guides me to an empty room and closes the door behind us.
Your mother is a little unsettled and confused with the move, which is to be expected. I’ve spoken to her doctor and they have recommended you don’t visit until she has stabilised, but they assure me she is fine. They have asked for you to call them as they have some questions you might be able to help with,” he explains and hands me a card with a number for a Dr Black on it. All my sass and thoughts of seduction flee. My mum is here and might actually get some help that will work.
“Thank you,” I say, feeling overwhelmed with relief and extremely grateful that he’s done this for her. Without much thought, I wrap my arms around him in a hug. His body stiffens briefly before he sighs and holds me against him.
“You are going to be the death of me, Josie,” he admits, his voice barely audible.
“I’ll only stop your heart for a second,” I tease, tilting my head back to look up at him. I can see a war raging behind his eyes as he looks down at me.
“Fuck it,” he curses before bringing his mouth to meet mine in the most feral of kisses. This is not the tender first kiss I’d imagined, it’s raw, messy and desperate. Certainly flot very professional of my usually so composed headmaster. His hands travel down my body and then he lifts me, I wrap my legs around his waist and groan into his mouth at the friction. Then as fast as it started, it stops. He releases me like I’m on fire, dropping me to the floor. His eyes glow blue with barely contained power and he breathes heavily. I can see his beast, so close to the surface now. He’s a stunning mess. He’s absolutely perfect
