If Only They Knew (Book 1.5) (AU Series) - INTERSEX

Chapter Thirty-Six

Deleena

I came to work two hours early today. I haven't been feeling good, so I left Vale in bed so I wouldn't wake her. Things have been amazing between us. At least, I think they have been. I've been a naughty girl though. I do everything in my power to push each and every one of her buttons. I think it's fun.

But I also believe it's because I'm trying to push her to the limit to see if there's anything that could push her over the edge and make her do something more. She never punches me or does anything else that I would consider abusive. The most she ever does is spank me with a whip inside the playroom or fucked me until I can't walk. She hasn't had any knife play or fire yet, but I know I would still let it and be completely enthralled if she used it on me. But I also know she doesn't trust herself with such things.

There are times when she will choke me, but it is something I want because it turns me on, and it is something I do back to her when I want to be a real brat. So far, she hasn't shown that she would ever put her hands on me to be malicious, like Akeem did. I know she isn't, but being the biggest brat and pushing her buttons is a way for me to prove to her that she isn't him.

Valia has many pet peeves that cause her to get angry. She hates raised voices, she hates when someone causes her physical harm, she hates back talk, she hates being questioned, she hates being left on read or not answer her text. I like doing this one. And she hates when I leave home without telling her where I'm going. I left home without telling her where I was going this morning. She knows I have work but it isn't for another couple of hours.

So, of course, she woke up and texted me, but I didn't answer her. I'm not doing anything wrong, just trying to get my lesson plan done in peace. Before she tested out of the school, she used to sit here and help me plan and grade my student's work. Even though she was opposed to grading because she felt like the students would somehow know it was her grading and be pissed because she was intelligent as shit. Even though it was their work, it was her pen strokes giving them the grade.

She's taking college classes now, and I'm not upset about it, I just miss her actually being here during my work hours. Sometimes she visits, but in the past couple of weeks, it's only been like twice. I do see her a lot at home though. She stays at my house more than she does her own now.

It feels incredible not to have to sneak around with her anymore. For the first couple of weeks, we kept it on the low. We didn't go out in public with each other, but now, we go on dates, and we hang out outside of the mansion. I visit her house more often now. Her parents and siblings are really sweet. Alex finally warmed up to me and offered to help train me on the fighting mats.

Josie, of course, is very friendly and wants to talk about everything, but Elliot is still very quiet. I always felt Josie and Elliot's personalities should be switched. With all that Josephine has been through, I thought she would be the quiet one, but Vale told me that Josie's been through a lot of therapy in the last 17 years, so her past doesn't affect her much anymore.

She also said her mother, Elli, is a little to her Father and Josie, which is why she doesn't speak to me much. I don't think she knows for sure if I'm a little with Valiana, but I guess she can sense it from the way I act around her. Is that weird? I can't help that sometimes I slip into little space without even thinking about it.

My door starts to creak open, and I look at the clock, noticing I still have an hour before school starts. I've got my lesson plan completed, but I wanted to get a bunch of stuff graded so I could hand them back today. I smile when I notice it's Vale with breakfast and coffee, and I get up to greet her.

I lean in to kiss her, but she pulls back with a smirk. "Heyyy! I want kisses," I pout.

"Yeah, and I want to wake up next to my girlfriend every morning. Oh, or you know, get a text back letting me know you're okay." I give her a devilish grin as she puts the food down on my desk. Vale has temper issues, yes, but she isn't over barring when it comes to me doing my own thing. She doesn't track my location or get mad that I won't tell her where I'm going sometimes. She just wants to know I'm safe, and I love that about her. "De, why are you being so bad lately?"
