Chapter 137
Astrid POV
We walked to the parking area where Kael led me to his car. Toren and Aiden followed us along with Nate.
“Nate,” I said. “You aren’t suspended. Why are you missing your classes?” I asked as Kael opened the passenger door for me.

“I’ll go back,” he replied, looking at the brothers. He licked his lips and then added, “Look, you better keep her safe. If I see she is harmed in fucking way, I’m going to come after you.”
Kael and Toren jerked their heads back, and I seriously felt like laughing, but warmth spread in my chest and I hugged him. It was actually ridiculous seeing my 5’9” brother trying to intimidate the 6’3“, three mountains of muscles behind me.
But Kael put his hands up and said, “We will take care of her. Don’t worry.”
Nate nodded. He leaned over and whispered, “Do you have pepper spray?”
I giggled and nodded. Feeling reassured, he rushed back to his next class.

We sped to Kael’s home with me sitting in the passenger seat and Aiden and Toren sitting behind. The silence was so overbearing that I finally said, “I’m sorry.”
Kael brought his hand to mine on my thigh and clutched it. “Sorry for what?”
“For putting you all in so much trouble. It was something I could’ve avoided. Thanks, Aiden, for saving my day.”
Toren and Aiden chuckled as Kael went silent. He didn’t remove his hand from the wheel as we drove in silence. I felt even more uncomfortable. When he parked his car in the driveway of his house, he opened the door for me. He held the door, trapping me in between the car and him. He brought his hand to a strand of my hair and curled it around his finger.
Leaning over to me, he inhaled my scent and said, “I’m not sorry for what happened.” My eyes met with intense ones. “If you hadn’t gone to Tracy’s, we wouldn’t have had this time together.”
My breath lodged in my throat as the world around me faded. As he leaned in, his warm breath on my earlobe ignited a fire in my lower belly. “I hope you’ll teach me math. I promise I’ll be a good student.”
Someone coughed from behind, and I jerked my head back, blushing like a tomato. Kael just caught my hand and walked in the house.
Toren and Aiden walked behind us with ear–splitting grins. What was going on? Not that I was a stupid to not understand it, but it felt like they all knew about it from beforehand.
I sat in the main hall where I placed my bag, looking awkwardly at the house and stealing glances at the boys.
Now what do we do?
Aiden walked towards the kitchen while Toren disappeared at the back of the house, leaving Kael and me alone.
“Why don’t you come up?” he said, jerking his chin. “To my room.”
Another blush crept in my cheeks. “I’ll teach you here.”
He raised his eyebrow and cocked his head. “I told you I’ll be a good student. Don’t you trust me?”
Gods above. I trusted him, but I didn’t trust myself. I mean, Kael was the most eligible bachelor in Cedar Academy, and I was alone with him. Though he never misbehaved with me, I wasn’t sure if I could stay in control around him. Being in his presence always made my stomach feel like it was filled with a whirlwind of fluttering butterflies. I chuckled nervously. “What? Of course, I trust you. I thought this was a better place.”
“No, it isn’t,” he replied firmly. Holding my hand tightly, he pulled me up and led me briskly to his room. I blushed intensely, the redness reaching all the way to my neck. Heat surged through my body.
We reached his room. He opened the door for me to get in. As soon as I stepped in, he followed and closed the door gently. It was the first time I looked around his luxurious room. There was a king–size bed in a corner with a plush rug next to it. On a table, a tidy stack of books and papers sat next to a computer, while a cupboard lined the side wall. The bathroom was on the opposite side.
He walked past me and removed his tie as he sat on the bed. “Would you like to eat something?” he asked.
“No!” I breathed.
He smiled and pointed at his table with his chin. “My math book is over there, I have printed out your plan for me. It is pinned over my computer. I’m ready whenever you like.”
In his presence, I could hardly focus on anything else, not even my plan, as I made my way to his table. I gathered my wits and focused on it.
Soon, both of us were sitting on the rug with books and papers scattered all around us. Aiden had brought in cookies and chips for us and left.
It had been two hours, and I had to say that Kael was brilliant. He understood every formula and its application in one go.
I didn’t realize when my skirt slid down my thigh when I was lying on the rug on my belly. My legs were up in the air, dangling with mirth as I watched him solve a problem. His hair was tousled, and I felt like running my fingers through them. Over the two hours, the awkwardness between us had disappeared. We cracked jokes and picked on each other like other normal teenagers.
When he finished the question, he looked at me and his Adam’s apple bobbed when his eyes went to my legs.
“What?” I asked as I pulled the notebook from his hand to check the answer. He crawled towards me and I lifted my head to look him in the eyes. He stopped right over me. The moment felt charged. Electricity zipped between us when he lowered his head.
“Did I solve it correctly?” he asked.
I gulped and snapped my eyes to the notebook. It was difficult to concentrate on the answer as he continued to lower his face until he was lying, his gaze never wavering from me. We were both lying with just our faces opposite each other. “Yes, you solved it correctly,” I said in a hoarse voice.
He smoothed my hair from my face and asked, “Am I a good student?”
“Very…”
He brought his face closer to mine and brushed his lips with my chin. I clenched my fists to stifle a moan. “Have you taught me all the lessons?”
I think my brain short–circuited, and I mumbled, “No. Yes. No…”
Kael brought his lips over mine and brushed them. This time I moaned. Shit. “I didn’t get you, Astrid,” he said against my lips.
I opened my mouth to say something, but he caught my lips in a kiss so consuming that I closed my mouth and let him devour me. In a flash of a second, he was on top of me, his body pressing against mine as he kissed me with abandon. He forced me to open my lips and delved his tongue inside, and explored me with urgency. I entwined my fingers in his silky hair, moaning in his mouth shamelessly.
I had never had this kind of experience with anyone, but I guess I could blame it on my raging hormones. He suckled my lower lip between his and sucked my tongue, never leaving me once, capturing my head in his strong hands so that I couldn’t move as he devoured me. My face turned red for the want of air, but still I didn’t want him to leave me.
This was my first kiss and I swear if the first kisses were so good, I would have gone for more. For the want of oxygen, tears rolled out of my eyes and it was then that he left me. We were both panting and gasping for air as we looked into each other’s eyes, a different fire igniting in our bodies.
“You are a bad student,” I said between short breaths. “And a terrible influence.”
His lips curled up in a shit–eating grin. “I think I’d love to kiss you more, teacher.” He lowered his lips to mine again, and we got entangled in another round of sizzling kisses.
Suddenly, the door opened. “What the fuck!” Toren gasped.
Kael growled at him, covering me with his body, and I hid my head in his chest, embarrassed as hell. “I swear I was teaching him!” I mumbled into
his chest.
Toren barked a laugh. “Coach just called. Our match is scheduled in Las Vegas the day after, so we need to go.”
