*For now I'm removing the bonus chapter but I intend to upload by itself shortly*
Aislinn was drawn from her slumber by Levy's soft voice and the feel of his cool touch on her shoulder. When she batted his hand away and pulled the blanket back up to continue sleeping Levy rolled off the bed and yanked the heavy black comforter away. Aislinn moaned and curled up to protect herself from the chill in the air. It took her a long minute to realize that she was not only still naked but she was also not in the garden where she and Levy had fallen asleep.
"Where are we?" Aislinn asked, glancing around the unfamiliar room.
"My place, don't worry we're still on the campus."
"You carried me naked across the campus?! What time is it?"
"It's five p.m. and I made certain that no one saw us."
Aislinn glared at him before shaking her head, how could he be so certain that no one had seen anything? There had to be well over six thousand students on the campus during the peak hours of the day ranging from kindergarten to college.
"Did you sleep well? How do you feel?"
Aislinn was slightly perplexed by his questions. Why did he care? Compared to him she was nobody. She'd given him her most precious gift and while he'd been gentle enough at the time she'd expected him to be done with her afterward.
"What's wrong? Are you upset that I moved you? I tried to wake you but you were just completely passed out!"
"Um, no, I'm not upset about that, I'm just a little surprised that you didn't just leave me there."
"You really think I'd leave you alone naked and vulnerable for a random stranger to find? Do you think so little of me?"
"NO!, No, I, that's not exactly what I meant..."
"I think I get it. I'm the rich guy and you're the poor scholarship girl right? You think you're not good enough to even be seen with me and now that we've had sex I'm going to drop you like a rock. Does that about sum up what you're thinking?"
Aislinn nodded. She was embarrassed that she'd really thought that about him when he'd been nothing but nice to her from their first meeting. He was the most outstanding man she'd ever met yet she was letting her own insecurities mar their fragile relationship. Levy knelt beside her and took her hands in his.
"Listen to me very carefully Aislinn, I will NEVER abandon you or turn my back on you for any reason, no matter what happens you can always come to me, do you understand?"
Aislinn nodded, blinking rapidly to keep the tears stinging her eyes at bay.
"How about you take a shower while I prepare dinner for you, I'll set another uniform out on the bed for you to wear. If you wish to then we can talk more after you've eaten okay?"
"Sure."
Levy helped Aislinn stand up but before she could wrap the sheet around her the door swung open and a man she didn't know took a step inside. Levy stepped around her, placing himself between her and the man to hide her from his gaze.
"Oh, uh, right, sorry..." The man stuttered before quickly leaving.
"Who the hell was that?!" Aislinn asked, pulling the sheet quickly around her before anyone else decided to barge in on them.
"Yeah, that would be Kayan, a friend of mine, sorry about that Love." Levy informed her, running his hand through his hair to mess it up. She wondered if he realized just how often he did that.
"He has a terrible knack for showing up uninvited and ruining peoples private moments."
"Well I guess since he's here you might as well introduce us properly."
"He'd like that, he's been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!"
What did that mean? Just what had Levy told his friends about her? What could he possibly tell anyone about her that would make them eager to meet her? That was a little worrisome but there was nothing she could do about it now except set them straight on whatever misconceptions they may have of her.
Levy reached out to move a stray lock of hair of Aislinn face. The way he was looking at her, like she was the most precious thing in the world, made her heart race as butterflies flitted through her stomach. When she stuck out her tongue to wet her dry lips Levy accepted her unsaid invitation and drew her into a deep kiss.
Levy guided her hands to wrap around his neck then tugged the sheet down and let it pool around her feet in a heap of black satin. Aislinn moaned in satisfaction when he began to explore her bare skin with the tips of his fingers, leaving tingling trails behind. The soreness of her body vanished under his tender kisses and caresses, the ember of lust reigniting with a fury that easily surpassed what she had felt for him earlier.
Had it not been for the sudden sharp pain on her stomach that made her flinch she might have let him fuck her into submission again. She felt him suck hard for a moment before his tongue swirled over her skin and the pain was reduced to a tingling sensation.
The next moment he was pulling her into a crushing french kiss. She tasted copper on his tongue. Had he bit her? Well that would account for the pain she'd felt. She pulled away so she could look into his eyes. His eyes, brilliant piercing frost only moments earlier, had changed to a bright crimson red color. Aislinn knew she should have been terrified by this sudden drastic change in color but she found herself mesmerized instead.
For a moment Levy looked like he wanted to devour her. He closed his eyes and took a deep steadying breath to get himself back under control. When he opened his eyes again they had returned to their normal frost color.
Levy kissed her once more on her forehead before excusing himself without a word. Aislinn stared after him long after he'd gone. What had just happened?! Shit, like she didn't have enough problems of her own already she was letting herself get completely seduced by the richest and most popular guy on the entire east coast.
Aislinn finally sighed and walked to the bathroom. She'd seen plenty of the on campus apartments, which were actually more like miniature mansions in themselves, but Levy's took the cake. She'd woken up in a huge well furnished but darkly colored bedroom and now she'd walked into a huge bathroom. On the right side was a white marble and mahogany vanity. On the left side was a huge floor to ceiling mirror. Towards the back of the room sat a large deep sunk hot top type bathtub. What she wouldn't give to have such a nice bathroom all her own.
She started the bathwater before going to inspect herself in the mirror. She looked somehow different then before, more mature. Perhaps that was because she'd finally lost her virginity and could consider herself a true woman now. She ran her hand down her stomach and found two marks, still bleeding slightly, to the right of her belly button. Levy had bitten her!
Honestly she hadn't been all that surprised by the change in his eye color because it wasn't the first time she'd notice them change. Until now however they'd only changed for fleeting moments at a time. The first time she'd clearly witnessed them change was when she'd caught him staring at her one day in English class. Since then the color shift had become more and more noticeable to her.
With the change is his eye color also came a change in his personality. His expressions would always become much more intense and sensual. His movements would become so fluid and silent that he would be able to appear anywhere in the blink of an eye. It was in those moments that she got the distinct impression he was stalking her.
Aislinn groaned. Despite how loving Levy seemed to be towards her she cursed herself for giving in to him so easily. He'd said that he'd never abandon her but could she really trust him or was he the kind of guy who would go broadcasting his victory to all his friends when she wasn't around? Tears burned in her eyes. She'd been so stupid! They'd never really been more then classmates before now and having sex didn't make them friends.
Whether being with Levy turned out to be a mistake or not she wouldn't let anyone see her cry over it. There were countless people, especially Verona, who would jump at the chance to use their moment of passion to completely ruin her life.
"I'll never give them such satisfaction!" She whispered, wiping the tears off her face as she headed to the bathtub.
She took her time soaking but the burning hot water could not erase Levy's expression of raw need from her mind. Never before had any guy looked at her like that. Just what was his deal? She couldn't understand why he had look at her so desperately.
After her shower she found a clean towel and uniform waiting for her on the bed. Attending an academy as prestigious as Mercer meant that a uniform was required, from kindergarten up to collage. A lot of people thought having a uniform was outdated and unnecessary but most of the students, all being the elite of society, wore it like a golden crown. It was just another tool in their arsenal to separate themselves from the less fortunate common folk.
Then there was Aislinn. The fact that she came from the middle class was more then enough reason for most of the elite students to ostracize her despite her good looks and supreme artistic talent. She smiled. Knowing just how much it pissed them off that she wearing the same uniform as them was a small measure of revenge for the way she'd always treated her.
After she dried off she slipped into the uniform. A deep purple pleated skirt that reached to her knees, a button up shirt of the same color and a dark gray blazer that fit her like a glove. She completed the outfit by tying the slim yellow ribbon around her neck before slipping on a new pair of black dress shoes Levy had supplied.
When she was finally ready she steadied herself with a deep breath before she exited the bedroom and headed down the long hallway. There were a million questions she wanted to ask Levy but she knew they would all vanish the moment she set eyes on him.
It was a bit unnerving when the conversation Levy and his friends had been having come to an abrupt halt as soon as she walked around the corner. At her appearance, Levy, Kayan, and a third unknown male stood up in unison as though they'd spent considerable time practicing the feat.
Levy was beside her before she could blink. Caught off guard, she took a small step backwards in alarm but his hand was on the small of her back gently pushing her forward.
"You startled the poor girl Levander!" Kayan said crossing the short distance between them, his hand outstretched in greeting. "Kayan Enrico and that's my twin Ian, its a pleasure to finally meet you Miss. Koralee!"
"Please call me Aislinn, and the pleasure is mine." She replied shaking his hand, noting that, like Levy, his skin was cooler to the the touch then everyone else she knew. Ian stayed where he was and nodded at her.
She immediately noticed that while Kayan and Ian were twins, standing at about five foot eleven with short dark brown hair and honey colored eyes, their personalities and body types were completely different from each other.
