but as the door closed
behind Freddie, the headmaster took her head in his hands to force
her to look up at him. “Forget him,” he said sharply. “He always
was rather weak of will, even as a student. I am not surprised in
the least that it was so easy to drive him from your side.”
His cold words finally broke the dam inside her. She twisted
to face away from him and pulled her head back to scowl furiously.
“How dare you
presume to do what you just did, sir?! You had no right to come
between the two of us, and certainly no right to interrupt us as
you did! How did you even know he had come to me?”
Cooper forcibly
steered her to the balcony doors and pointed down towards his
cottage. “You see that open window? That is my bedchamber – and
from there I have an unimpeded view to your room, Miss Montague.
With the aid of a pair of binoculars, I have spent many a night
pleasuring myself at the sight of the shows you unwittingly put on
for me.”
She whitened as what little blood was left in her face drained
away entirely. “ Shows ?”
“Indeed, my
dear. The sight of you doing what I so longed to and stripping away
your clothing from your deliciously curvaceous form was a
spectacular sight to behold. No doubt you thought yourself safe
from prying eyes here on the second floor with all the boys in bed
below, but I have long taken up vigil at the window to catch
glimpses of your glorious tits – and more besides.”
The headmaster
confessed his crime with not even a modicum or shame or remorse,
and she found that the realisation he had so enjoyed watching her
undress only sent her feverish lust for him spiking once more.
Determined not to give in to it, Amelia tossed her loose hair out
of her face and matched his intent stare. “And you were watching
last Friday night too?”
“Indeed. The
entirety of your tryst was conducted with the drapes open – and
with a rapt audience, I freely confess.”
His hands moved
up to cover her exposed breasts, and when she struggled to free
herself of his hold he kept her restrained against the thin glass
with the weight of his lean body, trapping her and making it
impossible for her to escape the intimate, possessive touch as his
mouth pushed aside her hair to expose her throat.
“Yet all that
is beside the point, isn’t it? The fact is that even after all we
discussed earlier, Miss Montague, you allowed the rogue into your
rooms again; and had I not been watching for just that, his cock
would doubtless be between your sweet lips this very moment.”
“Most likely,
yes!” she hissed furiously, still spitting and railing against him
in a futile attempt to break away. “I do have the right to choose
whom I share such intimacies with, sir; a right you seem determined
to steal away from me.”
Cooper’s lips grazed against hers, and in an instant her fever
spiked as he flashed her a swift, smug smile. “Not so, Miss
Montague. I am simply attempting to teach you the truth of the
matter. The truth, as I told you earlier, is that you need me , not him or any other
man. Did none of what I said sink into your brain? You are not
unintelligent; your wit and capability for learning was what first
persuaded me to interview you for the position you now hold, after
all.”
Caught
off-guard by the abrupt twist in the conversation, Amelia’s breath
hitched as she tilted her head back and away from his. “No-one else
even interviewed me before you.”
“That does not
surprise me. You are young for a teacher, and many of your senior
colleagues have expressed to me their concern that you are far too
lovely to be around so many maturing boys. However, your face and
form was one of the reasons I took a chance on hiring you.”
And there it
was once more, a pointed barb that stung sharply as it struck its
intended target. She recoiled, but before she could even try to
remonstrate with him or express her fury at his shallow reason for
hiring her, Cooper rolled her nipples between
