ii. Diligence [Bonus chapter]

"What's wrong?" she asked worriedly as Dominus immediately closed the envelope of his grading card.

"Nothing," he said curtly, placing the envelope inside his backpack.

She remained silent and followed him as he placed a possessive arm across her shoulder. The other students gravitated in the opposite direction, obviously avoiding them.

"How are your grades?" she asked worriedly.

"Do not concern yourself with it. It will be fine," he assured her. His answer was vague, making her have to guess.

"Do you need some tutoring? I mean we can study together on the subjects that you have a bit of trouble with," she volunteered, thinking that he was avoiding the topic because of pride.

"Really?" he stopped and considered. A soft smile crossed his lips as he tried to control it from spreading further.

He can't look too happy over this. It won't be normal under what she thought of as the circumstance. But what can he do, it seems like the opportunity is presenting itself so willingly to him.

"Of course, I would love to study with you too. It will be the first study activity of ours anyway," she assured him, answering his smile with hers.

"We might have to put an all-nighter seeing the finals is coming soon," he tried to look serious though he couldn't help the triumphant twinkle of his eyes.

His grades were fine, he was just never vocal about it. He is one of the blessed students who pass their exams even when they do not study for them.

He has managed to maintain good scholarly standing and captained the football team to an inevitable championship both at the same time.

He may be gallant, but it doesn't mean he won't take advantage of an idea she initiated herself.

Mary blushed, "I'll ask for my mom's permission then. If she allows it, we can do it tomorrow night."

"Should I accompany you?" he leans and lowers his head to sniff her scent. He can barely wait to have her by his side without curious eyes watching over them.

"No! I- I'll have to lie, you know. A white lie, I'll have to tell mom I'll have a study sleepover with my friends," her cheeks heated up admitting her intended deception.

He frowned and tipped her chin, forcing her blue orbs on him, "I hate that you are hiding me from your family. They have to know the person their child will marry."

"You keep saying that, but we still have school in front of us. It's a long way ahead," she corrected him but immediately regretted it the moment she sees hurt flash across his eyes.

"I can marry you even now, if you agree. We can both do that, right? We are not children, Mary," his voice was serious as he cupped her cheeks.

"No, not yet. We still have so many dreams to chase after. I want to be able to finish school and work for a bit before getting married," she bit on her lower lip as she became anxious of the topic.

He pulled her head and laid it on his chest, "Then what about me? My only dream is to spend my whole life with you."

Mary stepped inside Dominus's dorm room and felt the difference between their worlds once again.

It would be more appropriate to call it a bachelor's pad or a family apartment. To be honest, it is far larger than the apartment her mom was renting for their family.

The interior speaks luxury, from the soft carpet, the furnitures inside, and the classy decors. Every detail is straight out of a real estate magazine for the elites.

Dominus locked the door behind her and immediately pulled her in a hug. "Gods! I missed you, queenie," he sniffed on her neck and placed a gentle kiss on her skin.

She blushed at his affections, sometimes she still can't believe he really fancies her. She wonders if he will get tired of her one day, the way he got tired of his other ex-girlfriends.

"I missed you too, Dom," she returned his hug and was not even surprised when even that is not enough.

He carried her in his arms and laid her on the sofa, "Dominus! We have to study!"

The sofa creaked when he joined her, his frame hovering over her as he claimed her lips. Her protests were drowned out by his tongue as it thrusts forward, forcing her tongue to dance with his.

The pieces of furniture in his dorm room are obviously designed for him, the sofa was larger than any she has seen before, but his massive frame caused the sofa to creak as he continued to move.

"Dominus," she panted as he let go of her lips. "I am here to help you study!"

"Then, help me understand something," he grins, his fingers fidgets through her blouse as they removed her buttons quite efficiently.

"What is it?" she blushed. "I can help with most of the subjects, maybe we should start."

His fingers went under her, she closed her eyes when she felt his warm hands on her back. He was caressing her soft skin, loving the way her body reacts automatically to his touch.

"Anatomy," he whispered, his lips tugged on her earlobe making her gasp.

"Dominus!" she tried to protest but felt her knees weaken when he unclasped her bra.

"What? You volunteered to help me, queenie," he smiled, his eyes turned murky gold as lust overtakes him.

"Do you want to fail? I am here to help you study, please stop teasing me," she begged him, knowing if he continued her mind would blank out once again.

He ignored her pleas and latched himself on one of her nipples, his lips covering her soft bud, his tongue circling it.

"Please..." she tried to push him away but her strength already left her, it felt so good that she couldn't think straight.

"Just teach me this subject, I promise to take care of the rest," his teeth grazed her nipple as he hungrily sucked on it, her body arching as she whimpered under him.

"Dominus," she moaned out his name as her fingers grasped his hair.

He smiled satisfactorily as he felt her juices start to dampen her panties, he somehow managed to lift off her skirt at one point and is now busily prodding his thumb through that sensitive bundle of nerves.

"I cannot! Please!" she cried out as he latched himself on her other nipple.

"But darling, we need to give attention to this one too," he teased her, making her blush more.

His lips trailed down kisses from her stomach to her hips. He looked up at her as he started licking her thighs, locking his eyes with hers.

"We can't!" she tried to hold on to whatever sense is left of her.

"Of course we can, we will just study this subject for a bit queenie. Is this not the purpose of this night?" he whispered, stopping his kisses as he looked into her eyes.

"I-I want to..." before she can form a coherent thought, she felt her panties being pulled down. The cold air hit it for only a minute as he greedily opened her legs wider to a V.

"Let me show you what you want, queenie," he didn't let her speak before he opened her folds to reveal her most precious spot.

Her mind could not comprehend what was happening as his tongue flicked on her clit, sending a shock of pleasure to her core.

Her back arches as she holds tighter into his arms. His tongue moved in circles as she started to shake her head. Her legs tremble from the unfamiliar sensations he started to introduce.

All she can think of at this rate is the wonderful feeling of his tongue pleasuring her and sending shivers run through her spine.

She felt heat envelope her body as he continued to ravage her so. She wondered if she will be consumed by this fever and if she would regret it all.

She couldn't believe the noise she was making as he used his tongue to lick up and down her folds, his thumb for a moment replacing his tongue on her sensitive nub as he slid a finger inside of her.

She clamped her hands on her lips as she tried to stop the embarrassing sounds coming out of her mouth. "Dominus!" she cried out.

He added another finger, his fingers scissoring inside her tight walls, making her lose her mind as he does so.

She felt her body tremble from the way he pumped his fingers deeper into her core.

"Do you want me to stop, queenie? Should we move on to another subject now?" he asked her, knowing her answer completely before she could answer.

She shook her head as she let out another moan. She gyrated her hips down to his fingers when he stopped moving them.

"Please Dom," she pleaded, her cheeks red from embarrassment as a lazy smile crept on Dominus's lips.

"Please what, darling? I need to hear the words, my queen. Should we move on to another subject then?" he enjoyed seeing her like this, knowing only he can see her this way. Only he can make her feel this way.

Her hair was a beautiful mess as she lies from under him, her cheeks all flushed, and her walls clamping desperately for more. Oh, she is beautiful. His beautiful queen indeed.

"No, please... Please continue," her voice was desperate as her nails dug into his skin. She was clinging to his arm helplessly.

She has swallowed her pride but she did not seem to mind. All she wanted is for Dominus to continue her sweet torture.

"Continue?" he pumped his fingers inside her which made her jolt. Drool started to form on the corner of her lips as she lost control over her own desires.

"Continue what, darling? I don't seem to understand, my queen?" he stopped again and smiled at her, his perfect prince-like face filled with lust seeing her pleading for more.

"Studying anatomy," her lips trembled as she felt her cheeks burn.

She understood she has stomped on her own pride now, but it doesn't matter. She needs more and he won't give it to her if she doesn't ask for it the right way.

He chuckled and kissed her neck, "I love it when you ask for it so nicely."

"Please Dominus, teach me more", her voice was broken from crying out so loudly earlier, but she doesn't seem to care anymore.

"Very well then, queenie. Since you asked for it so nicely. I'll have to comply with your request. But first, you have to be a good girl," he sucked on her neck and then he whispered, "open your legs wider and hold into your thighs".

A satisfied smile formed on his lips as she mindlessly followed his instructions. Her cheeks were aflame as he gripped her jaw and forced her to look at him.

"My queen, look at me as I make a mess out of you," she felt her mind blank out as his warm tongue touch her sensitive nub once again.

To say they have studied quite a lot that night will be an understatement.

They studied well into the night until she passed out from exhaustion.

Quite frankly if it was not for the soundproof environment, the other students residing in the room next to theirs would have known how diligent they have been indeed.
