Tempting lips

Ariana felt a chill run down her spine when she felt a particular pair of blue eyes glaring at her from a distance. She wonder why was his mood so bad that he eyed her like she had done some kind of grave mistake.

"Professor Donovan doesn't seem to be in a good mood" Griffin's voice broke her composition and she turned to look at him who tucked his chin out in Lucian's direction.

Following his gaze, Ariana finally drew her attention toward Lucian. His deep blue eyes watched her intently the entire time, the goosebumps on her body were proof but the second their gaze met, he quickly looked away.

Ariana was surprised by his behavior. All this time he kept watching but the second she turn to look at him, he averted his gaze.

"Don't you feel the same?" once again Griffin's voice broke her stare and she turned to look at him with a sincere smile as she bobbed her head in agreement.

Listening to their whispers, Lucian's lips twitched in annoyance as he fought the urge to punch the boy sitting next to Ariana.

"Ahem.. silence everyone" Lucian's voice startled everyone, especially Griffin and Ariana who stopped talking and paid attention to the class.

Once everything was normal, Lucian began to teach but his eyes kept looking at Ariana every now and then. He wondered why she looked so down but then he realized that h didn't see her new friend Julianna anywhere.

The thought of that girl instantly made him think about Drake whom he had asked to interrogate her, but now that she wasn't present he wondered how was his beta going to get him the details he asked for...

Meanwhile, inside Drake's cabin, Julianna broke into tears when her lie was exposed. She thought giving any excuse would spare her from getting punished and she would be able to sneak out of this cabin but she was wrong.

How did she forget Professor Donovan must have already informed his staff about the bullying she faced in the canteen? But then she shot her eyes in shock realizing how he was aware of her sprained leg the entire and still chose to scare her.

Drake's lips curled into a smile when he noticed so many expressions on her face, but the one which he found cute was her anger-filled expression with that cute little pout.

'If only she had the power to tie him upside down, she would've done that' Julianna said in her mind while her eyes glared at Drake intently.

"You didn't answer me, Miss James. Didn't you sprain your leg in the canteen because you got bullied by some of our students and if you don't want me to make your run the field then you have to tell me their names and I will drop your punishment" Drake ignored her glares and came straight to the point.

He was now tired of playing with this little kitten who looked quite feisty at this moment with her beautiful black eyes gawking at him hatefully and provoking her might push her to limits.

'Beautiful' A voice from the back of his head.

"Ahem... So Miss James what's your decision" Drake shoved back his fleeting thoughts and asked with his elbow resting on the surface of the table while his eyes intently watching her.

Julianna who was still in shock blinked her eyes as she watched Drake as a devil with red horns on top of his head. She now understood why he was labeled as the most cunning professor.

Drake had his own way to get what he wanted.

Julianna felt like she was struck by the lightning name Drake who was trying to make her spill something she wouldn't be able to do.

Taking a deep breath Julianna heaved out a sigh as she composed herself and looked at the devilishly handsome man and said," I would like to run on the field Professor Drake"

Thud!

Dropping the pen stand next to his hand Drake watched Julianna with utter disbelief. How can she be this adamant that she didn't care about her pain and instead choose the punishment?

"Are you sure Miss Julianna, I mean what about the pain in your ankle? Running the field might worsen it" Drake tried to justify her decision by manipulating her.

Last night when Klaus checked the CCTV footage of the canteen area, he felt something was wrong because the time stamp between the incident took place was deleted.

'Whom was she trying to save' he thought and watched her nod her head.

"It's my final decision, Professor Drake" Julianna answered keeping a straight face. The anxiousness she felt was gone by now.

Drake gaze at her for some time before he bobbed his head in agreement. "Fine if that's what you want but.." he paused expecting her to show some reaction and when she did he continued," Let's postpone this punishment for the day until your leg isn't entirely healed. I will never want my student to hate me for being heartless, after all, I know you like me"

Julianna's eyes popped out of her socket when Drake winked at her before he stood up from his chair.

Opening the drawer next to his left hand he took out the elastic bandage and walked to her. Kneeling on his one leg, Drake observed the swelling around her ankle and looked up.

"It's still swollen, I suggest you wrap this for an entire day," he said showing her the bandage in his hand.

Julianna's cheeks started to turn pink when she watched him remove her sandal and how attentively he started to wrap the bandage around her ankle.

Drake was very careful with the action that he made sure even his touch doesn't hurt her.

"Done" Proud of his work, Drake stood up and the moment he lift his eyes to gaze at her, her pink cheeks got his attention and slowly his eyes moved down to her rosy lips.

'Holy shit... why are her lips so tempting' Drake gulped as his groan turned tight under his pants and he broke into a sweat the next instant.
