(Beckett)
One word. That was all it took to snap me back to reality. No, not a word. It was a name.
A name that made pure f*****g rage boil inside of me as I stared down at Elodie angrily. I could feel my chest heaving as I watched her big green eyes sparkle beneath the moonlight.
Her pink lips were glistening and I swear she tasted like cherries.
I don't know what the f**k happened exactly, but I'm just going to chalk it up to me being a damn good teacher.
"Try again Elodie." I said once more, watching as those swollen lips parted, making me fight every urge I had to claim them once again.
I know we are doing this so she can learn to kiss. But there is no way in hell I'm letting her say that prick's name while I have her in my grasp.
I don't know what this feeling was. But I f*****g hated it. It was like this twisting sensation that traveled all the way from my stomach before settling in my chest.
Was this, jealousy?
"I-I I'm-" She began to sputter and I pulled on her ponytail hard, baring her throat for me.
"Maybe it's time for our next lesson." I gritted through my teeth, feeling like a ravenous beast ready to feast, and Elodie just so happened to be the one this darkness hungered for.
I bent down, placing my mouth along her throat as I felt her fingers dig into my shoulders roughly.
"What are you doing?!" She rushed, causing me to fight this dark chuckle that wanted to burst out of me.
I have no f*****g clue what I'm doing either. But there is no way I'm stopping now.
"I'm going to teach you what it feels like to get a hickey." I stated, as I felt her body become tense, but that didn't stop me. I don't think anything would stop me right now unless she flat-out said no.
I latched onto her throat, sucking her flesh between my lips before biting down.
"Beckett!" She cried out in surprise. Now that's more like it.
The fact that she said my name had my eyes rolling back as that twisting feeling began to settle. Again, I needed to hear it again.
I continued my work, sucking and nipping all along the side of her neck before making my way towards the front.
"Beckett, how many are you leaving?" She panted, the feeling of her wriggling against me had my c**k throbbing with need as I tried to maintain some form of control.
Then I pulled back, eyeing the now red marks I had left as Elodie seemed to slump down, trying to catch her breath.
"That's all for today." I blurted, practically tossing her onto the bench as I quickly stood and turned to walk out of here.
"W-wait! I mean, that's it?" She rushed, causing me to pause as I shoved whatever the f**k just happened way down inside of me.
"What? You wanted to pretend I was Hudson some more? Sorry, I'm not here to fulfill some sick fantasy you have. Remember why we are even doing this from the start." I spat, seeing the hurt fill those green eyes as relief flooded through me. Good, that's how she should be looking at me.
"You don't have to be mean about it. I wasn't fulfilling some fantasy. I just-" I turned, not giving her any more attention. I couldn't hear her speak any longer. I needed to get as far away from her as possible.
"Meet me at the rink tomorrow morning. I have something for you." And with that I walked towards the building, going to leave her.
I reached for the door, yanking it open when I suddenly froze.
Fuck, what if she somehow got locked up here or something? I tried to get my feet to move, fighting the urge to glance back as I gripped the handle tighter, causing frustration to flood through me.
Just f*****g go! You don't give a s**t about things like that. You never have before, why now?
I let the door slam, and that's when I tucked myself into a dark corner, waiting yet again.
I could hear the sound of sniffling as the urge to see her won over, causing me to peek out from the dark shadow I was hiding in.
I watched as Elodie reached up. Her fingertips slid across those pink lips as she closed her eyes before shaking her head back and forth.
Then she reached for her ear next, turning it off as relief seemed to flood through her. The sound of her breathing grew more even as she sat there for a few moments, enjoying the silence.
I won't lie, I looked up cochlear implants and the process of getting them. I was intrigued about Elodie's disability and wanted to know more about it. So I learned some stuff. Maybe a lot of stuff. I told myself it was to have a higher advantage. Maybe I could learn something useful.
Suddenly Elodie stood, wrapping her arms around her body she glanced around nervously and began walking towards the elevator.
If I took the stairs, I could probably beat her to her floor and watch her get into her dorm room safely.
Luckily the security guard was distracted when I snuck in. It just so happened that two drunk girls were making a scene. But I don't think I will be so lucky next time. Like there will be a f*****g next time.
I need to get my s**t under control. I'm the one using Elodie here. She thinks I'm in the same boat as her, but she has no idea of my real intentions.
I wanted to f*****g destroy the boy she is doing all of this for. And that's when another dark thought entered my mind.
Why stop at taking the captain position from him? What if I took something worth even more?
I stared at Elodie's small frame as she walked past me, heading towards the door. Even though I knew she couldn't hear me, I still held my breath, waiting for her to pass as she suddenly paused.
"I'm such an idiot." She grumbled to herself, surprising me as she let out a frustrated groan. "And he is such a freaking jerk!" She added, and I almost smiled at that… almost.
That's when she yanked the door open and went to use the elevator.
I waited until the doors closed as I raced down the stairs, going to beat her to her floor when I was about to lunge for the door but I stopped myself yet again.
No, you are done with this s**t. Go home now. Go f*****g home right now.
I closed my eyes, trying to will myself not to open this door as flashes of the past began to cross my mind.
You aren't him. You can't be him. You won't be him.
I repeated the same mantra I always did before forcing my hand away from the door.
"One week, and we will be closer to getting what we want. One more week."
I turned, going to head down to pass Elodie's floor when I darted my tongue out, licking my lips.
Fucking cherries. Of course she had to taste like f*****g cherries.
