Willa leans into me, her arm wrapping around my waist. “I don’t care anymore. So be it. I’m done living in fear, though. She’s a big girl and can handle herself.”

“Who?” Wayne butts in.

We continue on as though he’s not present.

“You’re bluffing,” Levi hisses, but his eyes flash in defeat.

“I can assure you, I’m not.” Willa shrugs. “Your call, Levi. Do you want to ruin your dad’s life because you’re an asshole? Because the only person who’s going to hurt is you. You won’t have your daddy to rescue you anymore when you screw up. And, newsflash, Levi, that’s all you do. You’re a loser.”

She’s right. She has me and I’ll take care of her for the rest of her life. Willa is mine and as soon as she’ll let me, I’ll marry her. Make that shit permanent. Levi, though, won’t manage well without his dad. If Darren is sitting in prison, Levi, who can’t seem to stay out of trouble, will inevitably fuck up bad enough to follow his dad there. He’s a dumbass, but he’s smart enough to know this to be true.

Levi glares at us, nostrils flaring. Then, he jumps to his feet and mutters a defeated, “fuck this shit,” before storming past us. As soon as he’s gone, the tension in my neck releases itself.

“I don’t know what the hell just happened,” Wayne says, “but it changes nothing. You’re still fired. However, out of respect for your father and name in this community, I’ll keep the video to myself and won’t go to the media about it. Miss Reyes, go back to class. Mr. Park, you’re dismissed. Indefinitely.”

Now that we’re no longer worried about hiding our relationship, I take hold of Willa’s hand and guide her out of the office. The curious students from before stare open-mouthed in shock at my possessive hold on my girl. Ignoring them, I all but drag Willa down the hallway. When we reach the copy room, she slows us to a stop.

I glance down at her, amused by the devilish grin on her pretty lips. “Naughty girl.”

“You made me this way,” she sasses.

My eyes skim up and down the hallway, making sure no one is nearby, and then I open the door, tugging her behind me. Once the door is closed, I yank off her backpack and then attack her mouth with mine. She moans into my mouth, waking my cock right the fuck up.

“If I fuck you in here, you’ll be late for your next class,” I rumble, nipping at her bottom lip. “I can’t save you with a note any longer since Wayne fired my ass.”

“I don’t need saving,” she says, tugging at my belt. “I just need you.”
