I'm Here To Collect Your Heart (Book 1)

Young Volcanos

If I thought the rose and our hot love making session was Patrick's way of saying 'Happy Valentine's Day' I was so wrong. Monday was just the beginning of my week of surprises.

On Tuesday, when he handed out the graded papers. I pleased with my mark but I was also happy to find a post it note inside in the same place I'd I had put my note the day before.

'Notice anything different about your car?-P'

Sure enough, when I walked out to my car at the end of the day I found an envelope trapped under the wiper blades. On the front, my name was written in Patrick's distinctive handwriting. I opened it excitedly and pulled out a key with another note attached.

'This is my spare house key. I hope you'll use it sometime soon, this way you can visit me whenever you like. –P xx'

I have a key to his apartment! Holy shit this is huge, well to me it is anyway. It's at this point that I finally, decide it's time to give back. I've been finding it hard to think of things to buy him.

I send him a quick text before I go off on my mission.

Violet: Thank You Xx

Patrick: You are more than welcome. Please use it Xx

That's why I end up at the shopping mall, with only a couple of hours left until it closes. I spend as long as possible choosing each item that I find and I'm pretty pleased with myself. The first gift is more for me than him, it's an emerald green tie and I already know it will make my mouth water.

The second gift is a pair of silver cufflinks with an intricate line of colour to match the tie.  I place both items in a small box and add a ribbon for effect. Then at lunch time on Wednesday, I sneak into his classroom and place it on his desk with a small note inside simply stating 'Wear Me'.

As I'm sneaking back out, I almost run right into him. He raises his eyebrows at me in surprise and I smile sweetly before trying to make a great escape. I've only taken two steps when he calls me back.

"Miss Adams, where do you think you're going?" he says. His voice takes on a firm tone making me shiver in delight. I turn on my heels and try to look contrite but when he crosses his arms over his chest and tilts his head expectantly, I know I'm not fooling anyone.

"Hopefully to class"

"Uh huh and what were you doing in my classroom?"

"I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you and I don't want to do that. I still have so much to learn from you" I say holding my hand over my heart.

"I could teach you a lesson right now Violet. Do you want extra credit?" he whispers

"I'd love extra credit but I really do have to go to class"

"Fine, I'll let you off for now but I'm free after school, if you're still interested" he winks and leaves me standing there with my mouth open. Damn him.

I received a text not long after and it made me smile.

Patrick: You have great taste. I worry that if I wear these I'll never want to take them off because they'll make me feel like I'm yours. Does it excite you to brand me with this way? I'm supposed to be teaching a class but all I can think about is you. Xx

Violet: It excites me to know that you'll walk around wearing something I bought you. You bring out a possessive side, I never thought I had. No one knows you're mine but the thought of you wearing the tie and cufflinks keeps me sane. I'm supposed to be learning but I've got a bad case of lovin' you ;) Xx
