Chapter 2

Present day

"I"m so mad you left me hanging like that last night. I was so hot for you. Promise me I"ll come on that cock tonight." Lisa whispers in my ear as the professor drones on and on about social media"s effects on the stock market.

"Be a good girl for the rest of the day, and maybe I"ll see you tonight," I whisper in return.

"Mr. Gerard, is there something you want to share with the class?" The teacher yells over the entire lecture hall.

"No, sir, I just was discussing with Lisa how hard this subject actually is," I say with a lot of emphasis on the word hard that gets Lisa to give me a sexy little giggle.

"If it"s so hard, you should pay attention, and then it wouldn"t be so difficult for you to grasp. Eyes front Xander." The teacher says and then turns back to look at the board.

With a slight chuckle,I turn my gaze in Mel"s direction. She glances over her shoulder at me and shakes her head like she always does. Except this time, she turns back and starts talking to Matteo. At least, I think that"s his name. What the fuck is he doing talking to her? Doesn"t he know better?

"So, what time tonight…"

I raise my hand up to stop Lisa from talking to me. I don"t have anything more to say to her. What I"m focused on right now is why this piece of shit thinks it"s okay to talk to Mel.

"Gosh, you don"t have to be so rude about it." Lisa hisses out from behind me.

"You"re right, but you"re so hooked on my dick that I can be anything I want, and you"d still come crawling like a dog in heat for another ride. Now leave me the fuck alone. I"ll talk to you later." Giving her a heated glare, I wait until she moves back into her seat, pouting like a brat.

She slams back in her chair, causing the professor to turn in our direction again. He only sees me staring at Mel and that bastard next to her this time.

I look at my watch, figuring out how much time is left in the class. So far, in the last five minutes, I"ve seen Matteo reach out and touch Mel at least three times. If I have to sit through much more of this, I may walk over there and rip his fingers off. He wouldn"t know what to do with her anyway. There"s no need for her even to entertain someone like him. I"ve told her about letting these little boys think they have a chance.

A few more minutes pass, and the professor finally calls the end of class. We all jump up from our chairs, and Lisa tries to grab hold of me, but I yank my arm out of her grasp. She says something to my back, probably a curse, but I don"t give a fuck. I need to know what the hell this bastard is still doing talking to Mel.

"Oh, Xander, you know you need to start paying more attention in class. Honestly, I don"t know how you ace all these classes." Mel turns to me with a huge smile and teases me.

"The same could be said for you. You and Matty boy here were talking through the entire class." I jerk my eyes to his face and stare daggers at him.

He looks away, uncomfortable for a second, and retrains his gaze on Melisande, "Well, you know what they say, time flies when you"re in good company."

Mel turns her head, and a bright red blush covers her cheeks. What kind of weak shit is that? I"ve used that same line to get in girl"s pants before. She"s heard me use those same words before. There"s no way she"s going to be falling for something like that.

"Well, I guess that"s great for me, since I"ll be keeping her company for the rest of the day." I grab hold of Melisande"s arm and gently push her towards her books, so we can pack up and go.

"Oh, my bad, I didn"t know this was your lady," Matteo says in front of me.

"Oh, I"m not his lady. He"s my best friend, and we"re roommates. We usually spend the days together." Mel quickly corrects him. I clench the muscles in my jaw when he smirks at me and says, "That"s wonderful, I mean, if you"re still down to grab that bite to eat."

"For sure, I hate having the class so late in the day. I"m always starving right after."

"We have food in the fucking house, Mel. Why are you going to waste your time and money running around town when we can just go home and eat?" I say.

This motherfucker is pissing me off something serious. Why can"t he take the hint and back off? Sure, I may have no claim on Melisande, but I"ve kept her safe since elementary school. Everyone knows she and I are always together, and everyone also knows she"s off-limits. At least they did when we were in high school.

Now in our last year in college, it"s like every jerk with eyes and a cock wants to test me. Thankfully, Mel has turned down most of them, which is why I just can"t figure out for the life of me why she"d go for this wussy-looking pretty boy.

"For the love of God, Xander, I don"t want what"s in the house. I want the food Matteo was telling me about. Gosh, why do you have to be such a spoiled sport all the time? We live in this gorgeous city, yet we never go out. I"m tired of staying in the house all the time. Don"t I deserve a bit of fun tonight.

""Fine, I agree," Matteo says from next to us, and cut my eyes at him to let him know if he says another motherfucking word, I"m going to rip his tongue out of his mouth. Of course, I don"t say those actual words. Instead, I just stare at him.

"You could be using that time to spend with me." A women"s voice hisses from behind me.

Turning around, I see Lisa behind me, her hip cocked to the side, and her arms crossed over her chest. "Nah, babe, nobody likes a needy slut. I think you can wait a few days for my cock." I pick up Mel"s books and start walking out, leaving Lisa in the classroom with her mouth gaped open and Matteo walking behind me. I don"t have time to deal with Lisa right now when I have to figure out how to get rid of this fuck boy, Matteo.
