Black Sun Academy: The Next Generation (book 1)
Chapter 31

Carden

Stars above Blaise looks gorgeous this morning. It took everything in me not to push her up against a wall and ravish her as she walked into the cafeteria. Instead, I settled for seeing if I could walk her and Clover to the greenhouse for their first class. Clover and I fell on either side of her and as she hooked arm with Clover’s, I took her free hand and entwined it with mine. The emerald, green dress she wore intensified the green of her eyes and I had to shift my gaze from hers so that I didn’t get lost in them as we walked.

As we walked through the entrance Blaise loosened her hand from mine before giving me a shy smile and walked to her seat, Clover following closely behind her. “Good morning, everyone,” Professor Seedling sang as she shuffled across the threshold. The students returned her good morning causing the smile upon her face to widen increasing the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes and the smile lines to deepen near her lips. “Alright everyone, listen up and take notes as you feel necessary. Today we will be working with the Middlemist’s Red. This is the rarest flower on earth. Health benefits pertaining to this flower are many. One such benefit is that it has antioxidant properties that could assist beings with cancer or cardiovascular diseases. Secondly the flower of this plant can be used as a natural skin moisturizer and possibly anti-aging effects.

We are going to grow them from seed to flower so that we may harness at least these two benefits for now...” As Professor Seedling spoke my gaze roamed around the small room ultimately landing on the fiery red head my heart has been given to. Blaise doesn’t notice as she’s completely absorbed in the teachings of Professor Seedling. I’m so focused on the expressions and emotions that Blaise is displaying that I don’t realize that the professor has been trying to get my attention. “Mr. Callaghan- Mr. Callaghan!”

I can feel my face turn crimson and I slowly shift my eyes away from Blaise to focus my attention on Professor Seedling. With a tsk and a twinkle in her eye, Professor gives a shake of her head before saying, “I would like you to check with each student that they have properly buried their seeds and to check the earth of each pot to make sure the ‘soil’ feels right so that the Middlemist Red will have a decent chance to grow and bloom.”

Acknowledging her with a nod of my head, I take leave from where I had been standing at the front of the room leaning against her desk and begin to make my way around the room to check on the students.

Blaise

Even though Professor Seedling has called out Carden, my face lights up in a bright red blush and I duck my head turning my eyes to the medium sized tan colored pot of soil in front of me. A moment later I hear the Professor telling Carden to make his way around the room to check on our pots. It takes a few minutes before he replaces his way to my side where he then leans in close to my ear, “can you stay once class ends? You could help me clean up the room...”

I can tell that he has hidden meaning in the question he asked, and I smile to myself. Glancing out of the corner of my eyes I peer at him under lowered eyelashes to see him trying his damnedest to keep a smile from off his face. Carden places his hands over mine as I press my fingertips into the soil and a sigh escapes me at the contact. “Please?” I hear him whisper and can’t stop myself from nodding my head yes that I will stay behind. As soon as I confirm this, he squeezes my hand and moves over to Clover to check her pot. My heart feels like it’s racing, and I light up the screen on my phone to see how much time is left before the class is to end.

Every minute of the thirty remaining minutes feels like an hour has passed. A giddy energy has begun to course through my body causing my hands to shake slightly due to its effect. Finally, Professor released us for the day. “Do you want to meet up for lunch?” Clover asked as she packed up her things. Saying that I would, I waved goodbye to her and watched as she left. Moments later I could hear Professor Seedling thanking Carden for staying behind to tidy up the room for her.

Once she had departed, I found myself staring into liquid gold eyes. I hadn’t even realized Carden had come to stand in front of me. Gasping I squeaked out a “hi,” as he gazed down into my eyes. “So, what would you like me to clean up or put away?” Smiling as I asked this, I picked up a few smaller spades and made my way to the storage closet where the gardening tools were kept. Hearing Carden growl somewhere close behind me I giggled while quickening my steps into the closet. As soon as I had placed the equipment on the empty shelving, he spun me around before crushing his lips against me.

His lips trailed down along my neck, and I couldn’t stop the moan that wanted to escape from falling from my lips. Our hands travelled all over each other and needing to feel his skin I slipped mine under his t-shirt enticing him to remove it. Carden in turn slipped the straps of my dress off my shoulders pushing the top portion down to my midsection exposing my breast. A pleasant shiver coursed through me as he lifted me up placing me on the shelf before taking my legs and wrapping them around his waist. As his lips roamed across the top half of me, sucking, nipping, biting and kissing, Carden’s hands hiked up the skirted portion of my dress before descending further south and exploring my most intimate of areas.

The ache within my core was becoming an overwhelming sensation causing me to become impatient with his exploration of my body so I began to fumble with the button of his black jeans and smiled with satisfaction when it finally popped open. With a groan Carden quickly pushed his pants down and I stared in amazement at how well-endowed he was. I’ve never been luckier than I currently am with these amazing men who have come into my life who want nothing more than to love me. My body begins to tremble in anticipation as his member stands fully erect and then Carden lifts me from off the shelf to press me tightly against him before slowly lowering me onto his shaft. “Oh stars!” we both exclaim at the same time as he pushes himself into me to the hilt before beginning a slow rhythm of rocking in and out. As his movements became quicker, I began to replace my own momentum matching his pace. Our climax hit hard, and I swear I saw stars.

Wrapping my arms around his neck I weaved my fingers into his shaggy brown hair before bringing him to my mouth for one last kiss. “Stars above,” I hear him say. “How have I lived for nineteen years without you Blaise?” Smiling at his question I gaze into his eyes and then my heart stutters as he whispers against my ear, “I love you.”

Staring at him for a second, I can’t help but pull him back to me for another kiss. “I love you,” I say, shocking myself for the huskiness of my voice.

Growling, Carden lowers me to my feet and then bends to retrieve his pants that were down around his ankles. After he helps me make sure my dress is as it should be he gives me a crooked grin, “let me take you on a date this weekend?”

My eyes go wide with shock, and I can’t help returning his smile. “Yeah? Okay, when?” Carden contemplates my question for a second before suggesting Saturday so that we could spend the entire day together. I nod eagerly before saying that that sounds like a wonderful idea.

Walking out of the closet together, I glance at Carden’s face and can’t stop myself from laughing a little as he has allowed the ‘stupid grin’ to take over, but I know I can’t tease him because I can feel the same thing happening to me. “Alright so I really do need to clean up a bit for Professor Seedling, but I’ll see when classes are done for the day. Well, if you want to that is.”

“Let me stay and help you put stuff away. My next class doesn’t begin until after lunch, so I’ve got nothing but free time.” With the grin still plastered on his face Carden gives a nod of okay and then we begin to tidy up the room.
