“Good. Call them,” he threatened. “I want to show them the rat-hole you’ve been subjecting this girl to for her entire life.” His eyes narrowed and I did my best to mask my surprise.

They’d gotten up there.

They’d seen it all.

I felt the blood drain from my face, but I schooled my expression.

“I don’t know what you mean, you certainly can’t think I monitor the abandoned properties in this campus enough to be aware of any squatters or hobos,” I spat out at him.

“You refuse to claim your transgressions, archbishop?” Felix Escura shouted up to the balcony.

I turned my head to the side.

“We’ve heard all the rumors around here about your little ghost, your little pet. If you won’t claim her, then I’m keeping her for myself,Headmaster,”Santorini mocked me. “And when we’re done with her, her holes are gonna be so filled up withheathencock you’ll be able to see the black in her eyes from this far.”

He laughed obnoxiously and I quickly turned back inside my room, fighting the rising stiffness of my own erection. The imagery painted into my mind turning me against myself at the thought of the sinful girl in their hold.

I had sculpted her into the very essence of purity despite the truth of her licentious roots.

And now they would taint her.

I pulled my cock out from my robe and angrily stroked myself, igniting the pleasure that laid dormant over the burden I’d been cursed to bear.

Beatta Maria.

I am a righteous man.

“Iama righteous man.”

I chanted again and again until thick ropes of cum painted the ground I stood over.

I needed to get rid of the girl, and any trace of her, before they found a way to tie her to me.

That would be the start.

I would right all wrongs. It wasn’t my fault God had made the Devil so much stronger than a man.

Iletmyangerguide me. Foaming at the mouth and practically blinded by rage when I walked here, but I didn’t have the patience to wait for the girl to drag her feet behind me the entire mile back.

I made my point loud and clear.

The crowd of students that had gathered to watch the show parted their circle to let us through and I tossed her over my shoulder and began the trek back to the chapel. She didn’t fight, she didn’t pound her fists on my back like you’d expect any normal woman to do if a man slung her over his back like I had done. She didn’t even so much as yell or curse out a protest.

This was a girl who had all the fight, all the fire, doused out of her before she even really had a chance to find something to fightfor.

Felix didn’t think she had a reason to lie, but I would bet any person threatened with the promise of a lifetime of servitude in a Nile warehouse would promptly fulfill any task bequeathed upon them. She might have been a pawn, but could we be certain she wasn’t loyal to him?

“Hey! Is it really true?” The girl who’d come by to bring Romina clothes caught up to Felix, but he waved her off.

“Not now.”

“Let me talk to her,” she begged.

“Not now!” Felix insisted and she finally relented, turning back towards the dormitories.

“Now what?” Corvin asked me, his gaze drifting to Romina who hung like a sack of potatoes down my back.

“Who the fuck knows. Maybe she’s what we were supposed to find up there. Maybe she’s gonna fuck us all to hell,” I told him.
