MASTER

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

Before Adrianna arrived at the school gates, she met Steffie and a few of their classmates.

Seeing her, as always, Steffie hooked her arm around Adrianna's.

Her classmates greeted her with a smile, a nod and some called her name.

Adrianna just gave them a smile. Then she sniffed.

"You smell like saltwater."

Steffie took a portion of her hair and smelled them. She looked at Adrianna with doubt written on her face.

"We all went for a run in the beach."

"Did the sun rise in the west? What motivated you to wake up at dawn and run?"

"Just felt like it." Steffie mumbled as she looked at their fellow classmates.

Adrianna followed Steffie's gaze and also looked at them.

"Really~."

One of the girls tried to muffle a giggle. Which made Adrianna more curious.

"What is it?"

"We learned that a nephew of the principal lived at the beach front."

"Huh?" Adrianna was confused.

"Didn't you see him?" A classmate, Kaye, asked. "He showed up yesterday morning before classes started."

"The foreigner who looked like a Hollywood star!" Another classmate, Anna, piped in. "Oh my god! He looks so delish!!"

Adrianna's belly tensed.

Are they talking about Damien?

Before she could ask, another batch of girls came running from the back. Almost crash landing on them.

And they smell like saltwater too.

Adrianna's face turned black.

Did Damien attract all these girls?

"Hey! Did you see him?" A girl from another class asked one of their classmates, Danna.

"No. Did you?"

The girl's shoulder drooped in dejection.

"We didn't either."

Adrianna cleared her throat and forced a smile. "We will be late. Let's walk faster?"

She dragged Steffie with her as she briskly walked away from the chattering girls.

"Do you like the foreigner too?"

"Just want to have a glimpse of him. I want to know if he looks more gorgeous up close?" Steffie said with a beaming smile.

Adrianna wants Steffie to forget about that evil Mark. But looking at Steffie now, maybe she will be fine as long as she doesn't see Mark. She got involved with Mark at seventeen. They still have a year to go. At this stage maybe her feelings is not deeply entrenched.

Adrianna smiled with the thought. It's good news.

.

For the school Intramurals, she signed up for dance while Steffie signed up for the cheering contest. Beginning next week, they will have to stay after school for two hours of practice.

Which is fine by her.

When she was fixing her books preparing to go home, Damien's voice brushed into her mind like a caress.

Meet me at the rooftop?

Adrianna's toes curled. Damien's voice is as sinful as chocolate.

Her toes always curl when she is happy and excited. And lately, since Damien's appearance, her toes would curl if she feels tingles all throughout her body.

"Steffie, I have to leave first, okay?"

"Why not go home together?" Steffie asked as she put powder on her face.

"Are you out for a date?"

"The girls asked us to go to the newly opened pizza parlor downtown. As their opening deal, all their items are at half the price. That includes their shakes and ice cream."

If it was before, Adrianna will be sorely tempted. But now, she only has appetite for Damien.

Adrianna laughed secretly at her dirty thoughts.

"You have fun! I won't be able to join you today." She kissed Steffie's cheek and hurriedly ran away before Steffie can call her back and ask her questions.

.

At the rooftop, Adrianna caught her breath. Seeing Damien's figure highlighted by the sunset, he looks like a God bathed in its golden splendor.

Damien smiled the moment he saw Adrianna. He walked towards her, took her bag and wound his arms around her waist.

"I missed you." He whispered as he kissed the top of her head.

Adrianna smiled as she raised her head and hooked his arms around his neck.

"Show me how much you missed me." She whispered as she closed her eyes.

Damien chuckled as he leaned down. He swiped his tongue slightly on Adrianna's lips. Barely touching her mouth. Just teasing her.

Adrianna sucked her breath. She can feel the warm, wet tongue of Damien as he licked her lips. And her traitor toes are beginning to curl.

This demon is clearly out to tease this big sister! She can't help but complain silently.

When Damien bit her lips slightly and pulled it with his teeth, Adrianna's mind went blank.

Then Damien sucked her lips softly like sucking juice through a straw. The pull increased in pressure until even her soul is being sucked away by him.

Damien haven't kissed her yet but she can feel her insides melting like goo.

Unable to take it any longer, Adrianna whined as if bullied.

Damien softly laughed as he pulled Adrianna closer to him and opened his mouth.

Adrianna smiled slightly as she also opened her mouth and tilted her head at the side. Meeting Damien's kiss.

When Damien's tongue touched hers, she moaned and tightened her hold on his neck.

Their tongue fought together in a duel. Advancing, retreating. Countering each other's moves. When Adrianna's tongue is caught inside Damien's mouth, Adrianna raised herself on tiptoes and pushed her mouth closer to Damien's.

He sucked Adrianna's tongue softly as he held her ass and pasted her body against his. Molding her to him. When he applied force and sucked her tongue hard, Adrianna went wild.

She fought and had a battle with him. The kiss is getting hot and torrid as they fenced against each other, sucked each others tongue and bit each other's lips.

Damien squeezed her ass tight as he began to plunder her mouth aggressively. Letting her know how ruthless he can be. Adrianna moaned and groaned. Her body becoming soft as it melted against his body.

Damien pulled back and looked at Adrianna's flushed face. He pressed his forehead against hers. His breathing hard and uneven.

When the kiss ended, Adrianna was breathless and panting. Her eyes still closed.

"That was an earth shattering kiss. You must have missed me so?" Adrianna teased as she buried her face in Damien's chest.

Damien laughed.

"I wish I can eat you whole."

Adrianna giggled as she looked up at him.

He smiled down at Adrianna's enchanting face and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I have brought my music box with me. Let's see your witch?"

"Won't your parents look for you?"

"I still have two hours before dinner. Also, I want to know more about Andrea."

Damien's eyebrow raised.

"I have investigated her already. I can give it to you later."

Adrianna smiled brightly at him. Good! She can plan her revenge early.

"We will be going to Virginia then." Damien muttered. With one arm around Adrianna's waist, he murmured. "Close your eyes."

.

When Adrianna opened her eyes, they are inside a dark room with soft lights filtered through the curtains.

The room has a moody element with mahogany paneled walls, floors made of refined Douglas fir and a door that has a handle like that of a boat.

There is a crystal chandelier hanging at the center of the room and a fireplace with an overmantel mirror.

Then resting on a Moroccan caramel rug, there is a massive oval-shaped office table with a light mahogany finish and an intricate design carved on the edges.

Behind the table, a chair with an executive style with perfect cushioning, matches perfectly with the theme of the room.

To complete the set up, in front of the study table, there is a sofa and a wood cocktail table with mid century armchairs.

The room looks like his study.

Adrianna smirked at Damien. Again, quite an elegant taste. As expected from him.

"Is it dawn?" Adrianna whispered.

"Around 5 or 6 in the morning. I will call Taylor."

Damien placed Adrianna's backpack on the study table.

He then pulled Adrianna gently as he sat on the couch and let her sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her as he buried his face in her neck. His eyes closed.

Her scent is most distinct on her neck. Everytime her veins palpitate, her nougat sweet smell would surround his senses.

And he can't get enough of her addictive scent. His fangs would ache so bad and all he could think about is how good it must be to sink his fangs into her soft, warm skin.

Her blood must be one hell of a drug.

.

After awhile of waiting, Taylor came with a messy bun on top of her head. She is wearing a pair of short shorts and a tee that says 'Screw you, fucker!' in bold print.

And the print is resting right on top of her gigantic boobs!

Adrianna can't help but give this Taylor a big thumbs up! God must have loved her dearly! She can drown a man with those melons alone.

She glanced at Damien.

She snickered. This man is really indifferent. His eyes remained close as he lightly rubbed his nose on her neck. Like a lazy cat.

Adrianna cleared her throat.

Taylor was surprised seeing Adrianna in the flesh. And she is even more surprised seeing her Master all cuddled up with his mate.

Her Master smells heavily of blood like a warrior tested by a thousand battles. Making his aura formidable and downright malevolent.

She never thought her Master with his stoic, indifferent face, would be this clingy.

She was already informed through telepathy that his mate would talk to her. But she never expected for her Master to really give his mate full reign on his authority.

"Master. Mistress." Taylor automatically called out.

Adrianna jumped on Damien's lap.

Mistress?! It sounds like a character in one of those BDSM plot.

"Please call me Adrianna or Adi."

Damien just hummed in acknowledgement. But remained unmoved.

"Adi." Taylor smiled. "Master said you want to ask me something?"

Adrianna glanced at Damien.

"He did?" She asked uncertainly. Her face full of doubt.

Taylor laughed softly. "Yes."

Adrianna tilted her head at Damien. He has many tricks up his sleeves. If she keeps on getting surprised every single time, her heart would retire early.

"Well, I need your help on something." Adrianna pinched Damien's waist. He just hummed.

Adrianna sighed. She looked at Taylor and motioned her head to her backpack at the study table.

"Would you mind opening that bag for me? There is a music box inside. Can you take a look at it and let me know what you think?"
