Page 70 of A Knight’s Revenge: The Complete Series
“Thanks, Jojo,” he said with an innocent grin, leaning down to press a lingering kiss to my neck before whispering in my ear, “It was almost as sweet as your pussy.”
My cheeks heated as Zach groaned next to me. “Fuck, man, don’t remind me. It’s already been way too long since I had my tongue inside the Princess, and I am jonesing .”
I was about to have to threaten both of them with the tiny knife in my boot if they didn’t stop trying to melt my panties in public—I had a fucking image to keep up—when Annie stormed up to Noah where he still stood behind me.
“Noah, did I seriously just see you put your mouth on that trashy bitch ?” she screeched loud enough for all tables in our immediate vicinity to hear. “First Zach, now you? What would your father think?”
The chatter around us quieted considerably.
Noah’s warm hand landed on the back of my neck, giving me a comforting squeeze. “I’m no longer affiliated with my father, Annie. I’ll be doing my part to take Hargraves in a… different direction.”
“Noah! What in the world?—”
“You know, Annie, I’m glad you’re here,” he went on, and I could hear the silky smile in his voice.
His hand remained on my neck, and he rubbed little circles on my skin with his thumb as he spoke, his voice projecting across the dining hall.
“I think we need to have a little talk. First and foremost, I’d appreciate it if you’d refrain from insulting my girlfriend.
I don’t like it, and I don’t think the staff would enjoy having to clean your blood off the floor if she pulls a knife on you again. ”
Gasps and murmurs rang out. I wasn’t sure if our fellow students were more shocked that Noah referred to me as his girlfriend or that he insinuated that I had in fact pulled a knife on Annie prior to today, but I had a feeling that was going to be the least of Annie’s problems.
“She is not your girlfriend,” Annie bit out, petulant as shit. I craned my head around to get a good look at her rapidly reddening face, and Noah’s grip on my neck tightened possessively. Annie went on, “We all know she’s sold her slutty cunt to Ferrero.”
Noah’s smile vanished. “What did I just say?”
“ Noah —”
“It’s very interesting, Annie, that you’re throwing around slut-shaming insults when you’ve been sucking cock for top grades since the beginning of the school year.”
Bigger gasps, and then complete and utter silence.
No one wanted to miss the details on that .
Annie’s face had gone from flushed with rage to pale in one second flat.
Her jaw dropped open before she snapped it closed and put on her haughtiest sneer.
“That is outrageous, Noah. Are you sure you’re not confusing me with your skank girlfriend who clearly sucks cock to get back into the good graces of the Families she’s insulting with her very presence? ”
Noah tutted like he was disappointed in her before he pulled his phone from his suit pocket. He lazily typed something on the screen before slipping it back into his jacket.
Every phone in the dining hall buzzed with an incoming urgent email to our Holywell Academy inboxes.
“Avert your eyes, Princess,” Zach said with a snicker. “I don’t want you seeing Professor Montague’s dick.”
My head snapped to him. “Are you fucking serious?”
I leaned over to look at Zach’s phone screen, and sure enough, there was a video of Annie on her knees in Montague’s office, her head bobbing as she went to town between his legs as he sat behind his desk.
Montague was a higher math prof who was rail-thin, somewhere in his mid-to-late thirties, with glasses and surprisingly good hair.
He was also apparently a perv who traded sexual favors for grades.
“Unbelievable,” Mari said in a loud voice as she looked at her own phone. “So nasty, Annie! And here we all thought you were a smart girl.”
Annie could only stare at Noah, outraged and speechless, like she still couldn’t believe he wasn’t secretly in love with her after all.
“I already sent the good professor on his way this morning,” Noah announced. “And I suggest you run along and pack your dorm, too, Annie. Your expulsion is imminent, and your father is not going to be very happy with you, is he?”
“Noah, how could you do this to me ?” she screeched.
Noah’s answering smile was cold and deadly.
“Oh, I don’t know, Annie. How could you chain a girl to a radiator and send someone in to rape her?
How could you conspire to have the same girl drowned and frozen to death in the middle of the river?
How could you continue to think you and I are meant to be together when I find you abhorrent? Life’s full of mysteries.”
She screamed before she turned and fled the hall. The mutters and laughs of our classmates followed her out the door.
Noah finally slid into the seat next to me. He folded his napkin across his lap before taking a big swig of his coffee and glancing around the table. “So, I thought the Finance homework due today was particularly difficult. What about you guys?”
We all just stared at him.
