Devil on the Rooftop [Book 1]

Epilogue

There were a lot of students at Jackheights who would kill to be Zander Easton's girlfriend and if any of them found out he had been off the market for over four months now, they might pass out from the sheer shock. There were days when I would pay good money to see his drooling pack of airheads pass out from the disappointment and other days, where I wanted to hold onto my little secret and horde the playboy's attention for myself.

"Tomasia."

His voice always lit a fire under my feet, even when I was at school, pretending to hate his guts, and forcing every available limb to not mount him.

"Yeah," I said, maintaining composure. I helped him fit into his school blazer and held onto his forearms. They had seen better days but that's what happened when he was bed-ridden for weeks. "Are you excited to see everyone again?"

Zander rolled his eyes. "No," he complained, pouting a little. "How much longer do we have to hide our relationship? I'm a weak man, if you hadn't already noticed."

I rubbed the top of his head. "How many more outbursts are you planning on having?" I asked. "You almost gave us away numerous times."

Zander brought me in for a hug. "It's hard not being able to love you outside our bedroom walls," he grumbled. "I don't mind looking like the love struck idiot, because I am, I love you and I'm happy to shout it from the rooftop, but my fans—"

"They would eat me alive," I nodded. "My schedule has no room for that, so remember our rules. You may not be able to do anything about them touching you but if you let them instigate anything from your neck up or your waist down then I'll happily tell Loyal how you seduced me."

Zander gasped. "Evil!"

I nodded and then winked. "My brother's not the only one with tricks up his sleeves."

Zander pulled back. "Speaking of Loyal," he said. "Are you alright with his plans for the end of the term? It's coming up."

"It's not ideal," I replied. "But he's not one to lose sight of a goal once he sets his mind on it. All I can do is support him on the court date."

Zander pressed his mouth onto mine. "How did I land a caring and sophisticated babe like you?" he asked, with bright eyes. "I've peaked in high school and no one can tell me otherwise!"

I kissed him back. "You might have to reassess that after Loyal finds out about us."

Fear claimed my boyfriend. "Let's wait until the end of term for that too."
