12. My muse slams yours against a wall hard.
Gucci heels knew how to make anentrance. She had no reason to be there. None at all, but thathardly stopped her. Aurelia Hammerlock was an egotistical bitch witha complex. If it wasn't hers, it needed to be. If it couldn't behers, then she would simply fuck things up for the sake of hersadistic amusement.
For a moment, she lingered in thedoorway with a frigid, mirthless smile. Her arms folded across herchest, manicured nails digging into her upper arm. She was tall for awoman, lean and imposing. She had on one of those fashionable dressesthat cost way more than the salary of any blue collar worker.
❝Seth,love, you could do so much better for yourself. Yet, here you residewith your pompous, little sleeves rolled up while teaching a gang ofungrateful, little parasites. What do youget out of it?❞
Somearrogant, aristocratic accent tinged her words. She stressed somethat didn't need extra annunciation. Maybe it was to annoy him.She couldn't hold still forlong. She didn't bother clicking the door shut behind her, saunteringon over to the young teacher everyone lovedto call a studmuffin.
❝I'mquite fond of blackmail, you see, though I am none too afraid ofgetting my hands dirty.❞
Shepeeled back her lips into what could be called a garish, little grin.The socialite curled her fingers into the collar of his shirt. Shehoped it hurt him. More specifically, she hoped his spine wouldbruise once she slammed him into the chalkboard. Aurelia cherishedthe thud, studying his face at an uncomfortably close angle.Sneering, she held her head high, still thinking herself too good foreveryone who graced this waste of a planet.
❝Ido believe that's why I have a manservant to bathe my hands nightly.❞
Thepalm of her hand rested on his sternum, pushing the heel deeper in.She wanted to see him choke on his tongue, but not today. That couldwait. Aurelia released her grip after one final, vicious shove.Satisfied, she pivoted on heel to saunter off.
❝Ican make you hurt in ways you never once thought pain imaginable. Dothink things over.❞
