Chapter 17 - The Dare

"I can resist anything except temptation."
― Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

Alice

– What are you doing ?

My phone slips out of my hand as I jump in surprise at Orion's words. How did he even get so close without me even realizing ?

Before my phone can reach the floor, Orion catches it, and I can feel my body go weak. Oh no. Please no, he cannot see this.

– I was wondering why you were not leaving the class, he continues. I thought you wanted to talk but, apparently, whatever you were doing on your phone is more... Alice, what the fuck ?

Somewhere along his speech, he finally looked at my phone. My phone still opened on some porn page right in front of his eyes. Can I bury myself six feet under ground right now, before this gets worse ?

– I can explain, I try to talk. It was an ad, I misclicked on something and it took me to this page...

He stops me in my desperate attempt, his hand in front of my face before I can keep going. I see him scrolling through the porn I've been mindlessly watching for the past hour, his face not revealing anything.

We're now alone in the classroom. I don't know how long I've been on my phone, but I was distracted enough by what I was doing to not see anyone leave until I was alone with him. Why didn't I raise my head at least once ? It would have avoided all this trouble.

I know he's already realized that I wasn't directed to this page because of an ad, simply because this is the only application open on my phone - and when he tries to go back, it only takes him to another porn video, picture or even text. Finally, he sights and places the phone back on the desk, not letting me access it.

– Orion, please say something...

He turns to me, quite not sure how to react, and I understand. Is he disappointed in me ? Curious ? Does he want to get as far from me as possible ? I have no idea. I had never planned for him, or anyone, to find out about this.

– If you were this horny, Alice, you could've just told me. I would've taken care of it.

I'm speechless. A few second pass where I just stare at him in astonishment, trying to find an answer. So he isn't mad at me ? He isn't uncomfortable ? He's just mad that I went to porn instead of him ?

– Well, you were teaching. I said I wouldn't disturb.

A smirk draws on his face and he suddenly approaches me, only the table standing between us as he crosses his arms, making his muscles even more obvious. Is he trying to distract me ? Because it's working.

– I would've stopped the class and told everyone to fucking go home if you had said something.

My mouth goes dry, and I don't know how to answer. Suddenly, he's too close. I can feel the heat radiating from his body and the tension between us. His gaze is on me as I try to avoid it, to think about something, anything else, but he keeps going.

– I would've, yes, but sadly, you decided to be such a bad girl and not pay attention in my class... Perhaps I should punish you. Perhaps I should tell your brother.

My eyes open wide as I stare at him in disbelief, incapable of speaking. Is he being serious ? Would he really do that ? Something tells me that he would, only to annoy me.
