Serpentine Desires

The prey

Comment.

It felt surreal, too bizarre. I hadn't expected Judas to let me go, or even let Kyle drive me to the dorms. Throughout the ride, I was staring out the window. What do I do now? How was I going to escape from this damn country in four days? Something about him told me he wasn't bluffing when he said he would drag me back to him if I defy him.

And I didn't know what was I to do anymore. I was out of the options.

No legal authorities could save me, and I feared that anything higher than him existed.

Did that mean I had to sleep with him?

I shivered.

No, no, no.

I'd think of something. Where there was a will, there was a way, right?

Why was I even considering to sleep with him? That man was a psycho on the run. I had no resources, no alliances and no one I could trust. Should I take Ivan's help? No. Not him. Trusting Ivan felt like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Kyle pulled up in front of the dorm and I swallowed hard shaking the image of those dead eyes staring right back at him. Why did he kill him though? To frame me? Did that mean he was framing me since that day? Did he follow- stalk- me right after humiliating me in front of those men?

Whatever it was. I didn't want to know. I didn't want to even think of him.

My skin crawled recalling the way he played with me. Forced me to orgasm for the first time in my life. No one had touched me this way. And this bastard touched the parts of me even though I was scared to explore. I clenched my thighs. I wanted to scrub my body with rocks and nail my skin to get rid of his touch. The worst, I could smell his faint scent all over my body.

"We're here, Ms- "

"Why do you work for him knowing he's a killer? You do realise you're a criminal too for knowing and hiding, right?"

He looked at me with the same cold expression. "And what makes you think I'm just his alibi?"

I stared at him for a second and then scoffed. "I don't know why I even bothered... make sure your boss doesn't bother me for the next four days."

He let out a dry laugh just as I was to open the door. "Конечно, принцесса. Я просто скажу этому ненормальному психопату взять отпуск, потому что тебе нужно немного покоя."

(Sure thing, princess. I'll just tell the unhinged psycho to take a vacation because you need some peace.)

I narrowed my eyes. I hated how he used Russian in between the conversations. "What did you say?"

"I would've used English if I wanted you to know. Now, don't waste my time, I've got other things to do than babysit you."

I slammed the door shut and walked towards the dorm entrance. He did not deny Judas was a killer. I let out a shaky breath before walking into the building. It was silent, and there was no sign of the commotions from the other day. Did Judas bribe the college too to keep the news a secret? I hardly think so.

He would throw millions to see chaos breaking.

I walked to the stairs with difficulty, my legs gave out and exhaustion was finally taking over. The cold seeped into my bones as I walked towards the room hoping all while Alina was out with her friends and partying somewhere so I wouldn't have to...

My eyes widened as I opened the door, and the next moment I was engulfed in a warm embrace. My body went limp as she held me close.

"Seraphina..." She warmly pulled me close to her and I blinked away the dizziness. "Боже! Ты в порядке? Я слышала от некоторых девушек, что тебя затащила полиция-"
