Promised To The Alpha Twins
Chapter 9

The last hour of class was approaching when we received the news that it had been replaced by gym class. Nothing could be more encouraging now than having that class again, right at the end of the week, with the impact of the volleyball still lingering on my forehead.

After a quick warm-up and a few laps around the court, the teacher had no better idea than to divide us once again to finish the class with a basketball game for the boys and volleyball for the girls. This time, I wasn’t as foolish as last time and positioned myself in the middle, next to a girl who seemed to be a good player.

“Stay by my side, and none of Chloe’s balls will be able to hurt you,” the girl said when she saw me approaching her. I smiled nervously and somewhat embarrassed by the reputation I had created in the previous class. “My name is Vera.”

“I’m Sussan,” I said as I realized I had chosen the right spot to position myself. Vera not only looked athletic but also turned out to be a sweet girl, someone you know you can get along with from the first exchange of words.

“You’re going to the party, right?” she asked. Her question surprised me, but then I remembered the invitation Aly would have given me when she accompanied me to the infirmary. Vera must have noticed my astonishment.

“It was me who invited your friend and asked her to invite you too.”

I thanked her for the gesture and told her that I would gladly go. We saw Chloe, once again on the opposing team, next to her inseparable friend Amelia. I noticed that since the class where she had tried to bother me, she had lost her air of arrogance and didn’t even seem like she would throw the ball with force anymore.

“She’s been like that since her boyfriend got mad at her,” Vera said as if she had read my mind. “I think we’ll have an easy game.”

Despite Vera’s encouraging words, I still felt nervous because I had always been really bad at any sport. Just as Chloe was about to serve, the teacher called for Vera.

“I won’t be long.”

Now I found myself alone, in the midst of forming my team, and I had already guessed, from Chloe’s gaze, where she was going to aim her serve. The thought of throwing myself to the ground crossed my mind once again, but then I ran the risk of being the same clumsy girl who tripped over her own feet. No, this time I had to at least try to respond, even if it meant ending up with a broken nose.

Chloe served, and as I had guessed, the ball came towards me, but, as Vera would have suspected, it didn’t have the same strength or energy as last time. I don’t know how, but I managed to reach the ball without it hitting my face. I felt my hand return it with strength and precision. It was the first time in my life that I achieved such a feat, and I felt very proud, even though for everyone else, it was just an ordinary rejection.

“You did excellent,” Vera said when she rejoined the team. “Congratulations. I wouldn’t have done it that way.”

That first hit gave me enough confidence to survive the game, and I responded to a few more balls. This time, the class seemed shorter, and as everyone headed to the locker rooms to change, I decided it would be better to do it at the restaurant. So, I walked towards the locker with the intention of just putting on a pair of pants over my gym shorts. When I looked towards the group of guys, I was surprised not to see the twins, but I was sure I would meet them later at the restaurant.

The hallway was empty. The class dismissal bell hadn’t rung yet. When I was a few steps away from my locker, I felt a hand firmly grab my arm, and before I could even exclaim, another hand, equally strong, pressed against my lips.

“Shhh, honey.”

I recognized Ethan’s voice and scent as he dragged me through the door of an empty classroom. My eyes quickly saw that his brother was also there, leaning against the teacher’s desk.

“What are you doing? Let me go!” I exclaimed as soon as I could, with the intention of leaving through the same entrance Ethan had dragged me in, but he reached the doorknob first and closed it.

“Come on, I know you want to finish what we started,” Ethan said as he led me by the hand towards the table where Liam was watching us.

Although I tried to resist a bit, I actually let myself be carried away by Ethan, convinced, or wanting to convince myself, that I could free myself from them just with my words.

Both of them were still wearing their basketball uniforms, just like I was in my gym shorts and t-shirt. My eyes wandered over their muscular, long arms, which must have been three times the diameter of mine and a hundred times stronger than my whole body.

I don’t know what they’re up to, but this is a bad idea,” I said when Ethan’s hand let go of mine, and although my feet tried to go back to the door, this time it was Liam’s hands that stopped me. He grabbed me by the h*p and, with a strong push, made me sit on the table. He was really strong, I could feel it just from that quick and decisive movement.

“You seemed tense today, darling,” Liam said as he positioned himself between my legs. “Let’s relax you a bit.”

I struggled to breathe, unsure if I should let that happen or not. I felt uneasy because we were in a classroom, just a few minutes away from the end-of-class bell, and any of the hundreds of students passing by the hallway could see us through the glass door. But I also felt like I was in some kind of dream, in a fantasy that could only take place in a lustful mind.

“The bell is about to ring,” I said, coming up with any excuse to prevent Liam from doing what I could already see in his eyes he intended to do. “We have to stop.”

His hands rested on the part of my thighs that the shorts didn’t cover, and I could feel the warmth of his skin against mine. In that position, I had no choice but to lean back on his hands. I was completely exposed to whatever Liam wanted to do with me, and Ethan’s gaze, his eyes shining as brightly as his brother’s, only intensified the situation.

“Your mouth says one thing, but I’m sure you desire something very different,” Liam said as he brought his face closer, almost touching mine. I was tempted to k**s him, but I knew that if I did, I would be inviting him to continue, and my rational side was still resisting.

I don’t know at what moment his hand released my thigh, but only because he brought it closer to my groin and, with his thumb extended, he caused an electric shock that almost made me gasp with a sigh.
