Knight in Bloody Armor (Ghost Series Part 5)

Chapter 22

Faye

Before I know it, it's time for me to go back to school. The last week went by in a flash, I barely even noticed it. I spent most of the last few days studying like a maniac, ignoring everyone around me, except for Kaden, who used every chance he could to disrupt my studies.

Like right now!

"Kaden, I need to review this material today... - I groan when I feel Kaden's arms wrap themselves around my shoulders - W-Why are you naked?" I stammer when I realize he doesn't have his shirt on.

"I'm not naked, I just don't have a shirt. - Kaden laughs, nuzzling his face against my neck - You really should get some rest, baby. You've been studying nonstop for the whole week."

"I don't want to be behind in class when we go there tomorrow. I have no idea where the class is with the syllabus, I don't know what classes I'm even supposed to take... I know nothing!"

"You're worrying too much." Kaden chuckles quietly, kissing my shoulder softly.

"And you're worrying too little. - I argue - You can't possibly think we went through enough material with Mr Adrian in a month to be prepared for classes."

"But we did. We're about two months ahead of the class thanks to Adrian's tutoring." He's kidding, isn't he?

"You're joking. - I scoff, turning around in my chair to face him - That's not possible."

"It is. - Kaden shrugs - I've been trying to tell you, but you're not listening." He smirks, leaning down until his face is mere inches from mine. I subconsciously close my eyes, expecting him to give me a kiss like always, but when I don't feel his lips against mine, I open my eyes, only to see him staring at me with a smirk plastered to his annoyingly handsome face. "Expecting something?" He teases, getting a hard shove from me.

"Not at all. - I lie - Now go away, I want to study." I grumble in annoyance.

Kaden, being the annoying man he is, just laughs at me then sneakily steals a kiss from me. "You're so damn cute." He chuckles.

"And you're annoying." I pout sulkily, ignoring his attempts to kiss me again. He's so mean, he's not getting kisses from me. "And put on a goddamn shirt!"

"But I don't wanna." He grins. He's so...ugh! He knows how flustered I get when he parades around the house half-naked and he fricking enjoys seeing me like that!

"Mean Kaden, I'm gonna tattle on you to Amantha and she'll bite you or puke on you again. I'm so going to make you pay for this stunt, just you wait. I'll put your pillow in the dryer so it's hot at night or I'll pour some paint in your shower gel to make you look like that character from that Marvel movie... Thanos or something. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Or I could pour blue coloring in it, so you look like that guy from an old movie, Avatar. Yes, that's a nice. And I'll make you dress in loincloths and... okay, that might be a bad idea..." I mumble grumpily, only to blush at the mental image of Kaden wearing a skimpy loincloth and pretending to be alien Tarzan. Damn this guy! He's so handsome he would even look good as an alien! At least in my mind he does.

"What are you mumbling so cutely about?" Oops, I said it all out loud?

"Nothing." I rebuke, turning away from Kaden so he can't see my furiously red face. The image my mind has just conjured is not an innocent one.

I want to see it.

"Hey, what're you doing?!" I screech in panic when Kaden suddenly picks me up and throws me over his shoulder before walking out of the room. When did he put his shirt on?
