Preview:
"You will be mine Miss Drake and I do not share." I state sternly.
"Release my arm Mr. Sanford before I force you to." She states giving me a fake smile. I smirk at her. She takes her other hand and squeezes my wrist before twisting it in a painful position. I hiss in pain. "Don't underestimate me Mr. Sanford." She whispers in my ear before gently pushing me away from her. I shake my hand and look back at her.
"This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me Miss Drake." She turns and glares at me.
"Mr. Sanford, I am no possession of yours. " She pushes the classroom door open and leaves me standing there.
