When we were out, and in the corridor, Kael was still holding my hand. He wouldn’t let it go even as I tried to tug it away. We didn’t talk to each other as we headed to our lockers from where we collected our bags. Aiden informed us he had deleted the video from Instagram.
Kael tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I was packing my books. “I’m sorry you had to go through all this.”
I stopped packing and looked at him, swallowing thickly. “Thank you for helping me.”
I couldn’t say much because emotions choked my throat.
He stared intensely into my eyes, as if trying to reach my soul. “Anything for you, baby girl.”
He leaned forward and when our lips were just a hair- breadth away, he said, “Will you teach me math today? I know you won’t go home from here.”
His proximity took my breath away. Why was it that both of us were getting so attracted to each other although we hadn’t spent a single month together? I wanted to kiss him badly, needily, but I croaked, “Yes.”
“Kael!”
Tracy’s loud voice interrupted us.
He whipped his head away, straightening. His eyes turned icy as he clenched his fists. His chest vibrated with the most dangerous rumble I’d ever encountered.
She came running to him and stood there with puppy eyes. “I know you’re angry with me, but I did nothing.”
She glanced at me before turning back to him. “I was trying to be her friend, and have no idea what happened to her. Are you going to put our friendship of so many years at stake for her?”
“Tracy, we know that you and your friends drugged Astrid,”
Kael said in a low, dangerous voice.
Her face paled. “N–no! We didn’t!”
“This isn’t over,”
Kael growled. “Remember to stay away from me, and remember to stay away from Astrid. Because if I see you near her, I’ll claw your heart out!”
Saying that, Kael grabbed my hand, closed my locker, and walked out of the school with me. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Toren showing her the middle finger, and Aiden bumped into her shoulder on purpose.
Tracy watched us all with shock, her mouth falling open.
It was so satisfying, but I knew it wasn’t over yet.
As I opened the main glass door, I heard Principal Henson’s heavy voice filling the corridor. “Miss Tracy, come to my room immediately!”
Charm Chat
Astrid POV
We walked to the parking area where Kael led me to his car. Toren and Aiden followed us along with Nate.
“Nate,”
I said. “You aren’t suspended. Why are you missing your classes?”
I asked as Kael opened the passenger door for me.

“I’ll go back,”
he replied, looking at the brothers. He licked his lips and then added, “Look, you better keep her safe. If I see she is harmed in fucking way, I’m going to come after you.”
Kael and Toren jerked their heads back, and I seriously felt like laughing, but warmth spread in my chest and I hugged him. It was actually ridiculous seeing my 5’9″
brother trying to intimidate the 6’3″, three mountains of muscles behind me.
But Kael put his hands up and said, “We will take care of her. Don’t worry.”
Nate nodded. He leaned over and whispered, “Do you have pepper spray?”
I giggled and nodded. Feeling reassured, he rushed back to his next class.

We sped to Kael’s home with me sitting in the passenger seat and Aiden and Toren sitting behind. The silence was so overbearing that I finally said, “I’m sorry.”
Kael brought his hand to mine on my thigh and clutched it. “Sorry for what?”
“For putting you all in so much trouble. It was something I could’ve avoided. Thanks, Aiden, for saving my day.”
Toren and Aiden chuckled as Kael went silent. He didn’t remove his hand from the wheel as we drove in silence. I felt even more uncomfortable. When he parked his car in the driveway of his house, he opened the door for me. He held the door, trapping me in between the car and him. He brought his hand to a strand of my hair and curled it around his finger.
Leaning over to me, he inhaled my scent and said, “I’m not sorry for what happened.”
My eyes met with intense ones. “If you hadn’t gone to Tracy’s, we wouldn’t have had this time together.”
My breath lodged in my throat as the world around me faded. As he leaned in, his warm breath on my earlobe ignited a fire in my lower belly. “I hope you’ll teach me math. I promise I’ll be a good student.”
Someone coughed from behind, and I jerked my head back, blushing like a tomato. Kael just caught my hand and walked in the house.
Toren and Aiden walked behind us with ear–splitting grins. What was going on? Not that I was a stupid to not understand it, but it felt like they all knew about it from beforehand.
I sat in the main hall where I placed my bag, looking awkwardly at the house and stealing glances at the boys.
Now what do we do?
Aiden walked towards the kitchen while Toren disappeared at the back of the house, leaving Kael and me alone.
“Why don’t you come up?”
he said, jerking his chin. “To my room.”
Another blush crept in my cheeks. “I’ll teach you here.”
He raised his eyebrow and cocked his head. “I told you I’ll be a good student. Don’t you trust me?”
Gods above. I trusted him, but I didn’t trust myself. I mean, Kael was the most eligible bachelor in Cedar Academy, and I was alone with him. Though he never misbehaved with me, I wasn’t sure if I could stay in control around him. Being in his presence always made my stomach feel like it was filled with a whirlwind of fluttering butterflies. I chuckled nervously. “What? Of course, I trust you. I thought this was a better place.”
“No, it isn’t,”
he replied firmly. Holding my hand tightly, he pulled me up and led me briskly to his room. I blushed intensely, the redness reaching all the way to my neck. Heat surged through my body.
We reached his room. He opened the door for me to get in. As soon as I stepped in, he followed and closed the door gently. It was the first time I looked around his luxurious room. There was a king–size bed in a corner with a plush rug next to it. On a table, a tidy stack of books and papers sat next to a computer, while a cupboard lined the side wall. The bathroom was on the opposite side.
He walked past me and removed his tie as he sat on the bed. “Would you like to eat something?”
he asked.
“No!”
I breathed.
He smiled and pointed at his table with his chin. “My math book is over there, I have printed out your plan for me. It is pinned over my computer. I’m ready whenever you like.”
In his presence, I could hardly focus on anything else, not even my plan, as I made my way to his table. I gathered my wits and focused on it.
Soon, both of us were sitting on the rug with books and papers scattered all around us. Aiden had brought in cookies and chips for us and left.
It had been two hours, and I had to say that Kael was brilliant. He understood every formula and its application in one go.
I didn’t realize when my skirt slid down my thigh when I was lying on the rug on my belly. My legs were up in the air, dangling with mirth as I watched him solve a problem. His hair was tousled, and I felt like running my fingers through them. Over the two hours, the awkwardness between us had disappeared. We cracked jokes and picked on each other like other normal teenagers.
When he finished the question, he looked at me and his Adam’s apple bobbed when his eyes went to my legs.
“What?”
I asked as I pulled the notebook from his hand to check the answer. He crawled towards me and I lifted my head to look him in the eyes. He stopped right over me. The moment felt charged. Electricity zipped between us when he lowered his head.
“Did I solve it correctly?”
he asked.
I gulped and snapped my eyes to the notebook. It was difficult to concentrate on the answer as he continued to lower his face until he was lying, his gaze never wavering from me. We were both lying with just our faces opposite each other. “Yes, you solved it correctly,”
