I left David at the front door as I made a beeline for my laptop that had been set up on the work desk in a corner of the bedroom. I sat at the surprisingly comfortable desk chair and turned the machine on. Computers had always been a favorite hobby of mine (that is, other than sex) and it was no problem hacking into St. Cromson's files. I found the area containing confidential information on the students and sent it over to Mike, highlighting everything pertaining to Kiba Shinjo and the other students of the A-1 building—the majority of who were known associates of our target. I was cautious and methodical in getting in and getting out without a trace. It took all of twenty minutes and I spent another thirty or so just surfing the web.
It was soon after that that I heard the school bell ring. Looking to the glowing numbers of my digital clock gave me 5:30AM, the end of school. Which meant the other students of the door will be flooding in.
I stood up and stretched my back, spine cracking under the realignment. Then I headed into the bathroom for a quick shower, washing the delicious grime of sex and pain from my skin.
I had just turned off the water when a knock at the door caught my attention. I perked my ears up and focused on what was going on. I heard David open the door a fraction. "What." His voice was flat and hard, unwelcoming.
"I'd like to meet the new kid," the other voice came, confidence in the easy timbre of his tone.
I could practically feel David's offense. "For what reason."
"To welcome him to the school and to make friends, Chief," the boy said, a cocky smile evident in his voice.
Arrogant little bastard.
"One minute. Please." The "please" was said like an afterthought, like David was having a tough time remembering to be formal. A second later there was a soft knock on my bedroom door.
"Yes?" I couldn't keep the annoyance entirely out of my voice.
"Mistress, there is a boy at the front door who wishes to meet you."
No doubt the boy was expecting to meet another male. I opened the bedroom door with nothing more than my towel wrapped around me. "Well, let's see what the little dip-shit has to say." I walked to the front door with the heated feel of David's eyes on my exposed legs, working their gaze up to my ass.
Opening the suite's door revealed the eighteen-year-old hottie white boy named Chris Landly, who I only recognized from my search through the school's records. Landly was one of the students on this floor and a close acquaintance to the target, Shinjo.
The moment I showed myself in nothing more than the scrap of terrycloth, his eyebrow raised and his eyes scanned all the skin that was naked. His full, kissable lips twisted into a wide, lust-filled grin and had a shiver working its way down my spine—I was anything but repulsed.
"What do you want," I asked, keeping the instant arousal out of my voice.
The tip of his tongue traced his upper lip. "Can I have three wishes?"
I rolled my eyes and turned around to walk back to my bedroom. Landly was right behind me. But before he could enter the room entirely, David had him by the shoulder.
"It's alright, David." I glanced back at him to show I was serious.
David nodded and released Landly, but I could see the reluctance in his body. He was a good bodyguard and any form of threat or even the potential of one, David was an eager beaver. Then again, it could just have been that David didn't like to have any other male privy to my body while he was on duty. There was a bit of a possessive streak in my living shield.
I let him follow me back to my bedroom, where I began to search for which clothes to change into. "So who are you and what do you want," I asked with my back still to him. Inside I was wondering on how many ways I could kill him with one hand.
"My name's Chris Landly." I sniggered silently to myself. I was glad my back was to him because he would have probably not understood my amusement to him stating something I already knew. "I was hoping to meet your boyfriend, but I guess I can settle for you."
I could feel him getting closer to me. I abandoned my dresser and turned to face Landly. "Sorry, but I do not have a boyfriend."
He leered at my body some more. "Your Master, then."
I raised a brow at him. "Master?"
"Isn't War your Master?"
"No."
