AMARA.
"Can I have a word with you, Amara?" Miss Sybille asked.
"Hmmm… Can we talk during class or maybe after class? I need to be somewhere right now before our class starts." I answered in a respectful manner.
"I’m sure you’re heading for that door?" She raised her eyebrows and pointed at the end of the corridor, where Jace’s office was located.
I was still thinking of ways to get away from her when I heard a door open from behind me and Jace’s aura come surging in.
I bit my bottom lip and prayed to the Goddess that my "friend", Jace, would not embarrass me in front of one of her females.
I slowly turned my body around to face the Alpha I was looking for. I felt my heart drop and my panties drop too at the sight of him leaning against the door, looking in our direction. And I was sure I was not the only one who was gawking because I heard another rapid heartbeat beside me.
He looked so fresh and sexy, even if his face was showing no emotions at all.
I swallowed hard and was about to tell him that I wanted to speak with him when he beat me to it.
"Do you need more time with Amara, Ms. Carter? I wished to speak with her as well." Jace asked her.
"Umh…" She was about to say something but I cut her off.
"I just told Miss Sybille that you were expecting me in your office, Alpha Jace." I tilted my head to look at Miss Sybille and smiled at her. "I’ll go now, ma’am."
"We have a class in twenty-five minutes, Alpha Jace." She said as I walked toward Jace.
"I’ll make sure she’ll be there on time, or will she get a detention if she arrives five or ten minutes late?"
"I’m sure we can work it out, Alpha." She answered sweetly, and my eyes rolled so that I didn’t even notice Jace was looking at me.
I turned around and smiled at her before I responded. "I’ll be there on time, Miss Sybille."
She nodded her head, but her eyes were on Jace. I turned my body around again and stepped inside his office, but I didn’t move forward and waited for him to close the door.
"Come in," his deep baritone voice echoed around his office as his hand landed on my back, pushing me to walk forward so that I had to keep my knees from buckling.
Damn, Amara. I’d been with Jace alone a lot of times, so there was no need to be rattled.
"Thanks for saving me there. She wanted to speak with me." I broke the silence between us.
"Cath mindlinked me and said you’re on your way here, and I was wondering why it’s taking you so long. So I checked. Sit down." He pointed at the chair in front of his desk.
I watched as he leaned his ass on his table and if I sat on the chair, it meant my eyes would be parallel with his crotch. And as much as that would be a lovely sight, I wanted not to lose my focus as I spoke to him.
So instead, I scooted my bottom up the table so that I could sit beside him.
"I’ll stay here, as I want to see your face when I talk with you,"
"You wanted to speak with me?" He went straight to the point.
"It’s about the rumors spreading on the campus, about you and me being a couple."
"Will it get you in trouble?" He asked.
"No. You’re not a teacher here. And besides who would mess with the Alpha?"
He chuckled, "But we need to straighten up that rumor. I don’t want to deflect it when they ask me as I’m not sure how you would take it if I tell them we are not a couple."
"I appreciate that. But can we just let it spread and not say anything about it?"
"And why is that?"I didn’t miss the way his forehead creased as he asked.
"First, if people think I’m your girlfriend, then you don’t need to worry about females running after you. Then you can just focus on finding your mate."
