A Rose to Keep (The Society 1)

I went to touch her arm, but she pulled away. “You better keep your secrets locked up tight. I will find them, and then I will bring the Saintly Devils and this whole academy crumbling to the ground.”

“Do you think you can win against us?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but do you think you’ll even survive losing?” She put her hands on her hips. “I’m not who you think I am. I don’t play nice.”

I laughed. “Oh, baby, bring it on. We’re going to have a lot of fun with you.”

I always imagined the girl we picked being easy. Her excitement being nothing more than a headache but at least we’d get some willing pussy out of it. Sian acted like she was going to her death.

Gideon called us ten minutes ago to come and gather her things so we could take them back to the dorm. First off, she didn’t have many belongings. Second, she looked so fucking miserable. I thought out of everything, that was what bothered me the most. This wasn’t a death sentence.

We walked across the school path, heading back to our dorm, and just like I expected on a Saturday evening, we had company. Several students had come to witness Sian’s claiming. Not that they’d see everything. Just her being led across the school to our dorm. This was the only exception the school made. Every other student had to accept the rules of separate dorms. Male and female. We got our own piece of ass, but with how Sian carried herself, this wasn’t going to be a walk in the park.

She was pissed. I wanted to know what went down with her parents.

There was a part of her that no longer seemed herself. It was like she was broken, and I hated it. Gone was the carefree girl in the library and who stood in her place was a shell. Don’t get me wrong, there was fire in her eyes, and the passion was still there, but something was missing and I couldn’t stand it. I didn’t want a shell. I liked going toe to toe with Sian, mainly because I knew she’d eventually lose.

Now that we had her close, the real games could begin. She didn’t stand a chance of winning against us. I especially looked forward to drawing her.

After entering our dorm, I went straight to the spare bedroom. Previously, this room had been used to bring the girls we didn’t want in our bed. We banged them here and sent them on their way. Before Sian’s arrival, we made sure to change the mattress and remove all the sheets. The room was a decent size. It wasn’t the king size Gideon had, but it was certainly comfortable.

It was bigger than what Heather had.

Sian dropped her suitcase onto the mattress.

“Thank you for helping me, I can take it from here,” she said, unzipping her case. Even that single action sounded fucking dead. I hated it.

I refused to leave even as Mateo, William, and Gideon gave her space. I refused.

Opening the box of books, I saw instantly they were in author order, and started to line the shelf with each copy, being careful not to dent one.

“What are you doing?”

“Helping you.”

“You don’t need to do that.”

“Sian, you’ve got this martyr thing going and I accept it, but you’re not going to do this alone. You’re not going to make this worse for yourself. I’m happy to help, and if you actually asked, the guys would be in here to help.”

“Don’t you get it? I just want some space.”

I sighed. “Don’t we all? But that doesn’t mean we get it.”

“Is this how it’s going to be, you guys telling me what to do?”

“Of course. It’s how we’re all going to survive this.” I quickly averted my gaze and went back to putting the books on the shelf, one after the other.

“Survive what?”

I needed to learn to keep my fucking mouth shut. “You know this doesn’t have to be hard, don’t you?”

She rolled her eyes. “Are we back to the usual crap of how I should be grateful that you’ve picked me rather than some other girl?”

I finished with the last book and walked to her, closing the distance with real fucking ease.

Standing right in front of her, I stared into her eyes. They were a dark brown, almost sinful. I wanted to see her staring at me as I fucked her hard. Even more than watching her, I wanted to capture the moment I entered her, feeling her hot pussy wrap around my cock. It would be the best feeling in the world.

Her virginity would make her even tighter.

Gideon would get her cherry, but me, I couldn’t wait to feel her naked heat surround me.

“If you stopped being so stubborn and gave this a chance, you’d see there is a benefit to belonging to us.”
