Several weeks had gone by almost like normal. Everyone came and went from work and college activities as they always did, except Shelly who had only come home long enough to get clothes and other personal belongings. Other than a few texts, no one had heard from her.
[Thought I would let you know, I'm going along with Dante on a business trip.] She had sent the text to Raven late Sunday evening, shown up to pack a bag sometime Monday morning two weeks ago and had said nothing else since. The summer mini-courses had started that same week and Shelly had been registered in the class Joslyn taught. After a week of being a no show for a straight week, she was automatically dropped for the course.
The scrape of metal chair legs against the polished tile floors was only slightly masked by the excited chattering of voices throughout the class. Joslyn sat at the front of the room, the noises and movements all flowing into a swirling blur around her, her troubled eyes never leaving the phone on the desk in front of her.
"She seemed very distracted today. Everything still going ok?" Rin said scooting his chair around to face Russ.
Russ forced his gaze away from the woman he loved and replied, "Yeah, we are doing great." He ran his hand through his long loose hair as he let out an exasperated sigh before continuing, "She's just really worried about Shelly. It's been 6 weeks and none of us have really seen her and she only texts Raven on the rare occasion." He pushed his own chair back as he moved to stand.
Rin's usually stoic face contorted into concern, "Are you not worried then? When was the last time you saw her?"
Russ thought for a second before answering, "I passed her and the jerk she's with the other day on my way to practice. They were going in as I was leaving. I can only guess she was getting some clothes and what-not. I was running late so I didn't have time to question her, but she seemed well enough." He glanced back up to the front of the room where Joslyn still stood staring at her phone. No doubt she was staring at the long list of unanswered messages she'd sent Shelly. Russ dug his nails into the corners of the desk as he stood. "She's being a self-centered brat if you ask me! She's bound to know what effects this is having on Joslyn. He gritted his teeth in anger, "It's like she's doing it to punish Jos for loving me."
Rin clasped his hand over his friend's shoulder. "I've known you both for quite some time now. I really don't think Shelly is the type to do something like that." When Russ's angry eyes narrowed more, he added. "I agree, her actions are selfish, but I find it hard to believe they are entirely hers. I'm sure this new guy is having some influence on her decisions."
"That may be the case, but it doesn't change the fact that she's acting like a bitch. Boyfriend or not she could at least respond to a damn text." Russ's irritation built as he continued watching Joslyn.
Rin sighed heavily, "How about this, I will try texting her and seeing what I can get out of her." He handed Russ his cell phone. "Put her number in for me and I'll text her after practice.
Russ took the phone and quickly entered his sister's information, before he released the phone back into Rin's grip he said, "Text me as soon as you hear back from her." He held Rin's gaze a silent understanding passing between the two friends.
"Now go to your woman, I'll lock the doors on my way out." Russ nodded his head before standing upright and moving to the front of the room.
Joslyn continued to stare at her phone indecision and worry riddling her thoughts. She read over the texts for what must have been the one-hundredth time.
[Hey, I was talking to my brother and your other roommate earlier and thought of you. Thought I'd text and see how you were doing. By the way, this is Xavier.]
She had been so excited to hear mention of Shelly she hadn't thought past finding out how the young wolf was doing. [You talked to Shelly? How is she?"] Jos had quickly texted back.
[Seems good. If you would like I could probably talk them into meeting for lunch. Are you free today?]
[YES! That would be great! Would Calypso's be ok?] Jos had not hesitated to respond with an immediate yes as hopes to see Shelly had filled her brain. But now that it was only a few hours away from their meeting time, doubts and troubles started badgering Jos's mind. {If Russ found out she was meeting with Xavier again for any reason he would more than likely be livid.}
A light kiss on the top of her head pulled her out of her thoughts. "What up, babe?"
Jos quickly flipped her phone over and looked over her shoulder at him. She opened her mouth to scold him for kissing her in the classroom, but before the words could come out he captured her lips. Jos pushed at his chest, "Russ stop! You shouldn't do things like that here!"
He snickered and pulled her to her feet. When she fought against him more he simply turned her around to face her desk. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and pressed his body snuggly against her backside. "Look around, the class is empty..." He kissed the back of her neck, "The blinds have been pulled..." he untucked her button-down shirt from the pencil skirt she wore. He whispered against her ear as he slid his hand under the thin camisole she wore. "...and the door has been locked..." He cupped a breast with one hand as he slid the other down her hip. Once his hand had found its destination he whispered against her throat. "... and I have nearly an hour before practice..." His fingers pushed beneath the lace of her underwear as he continued to kiss and nip at her throat. "...and I want you, here..." He increasing the pressure between her legs.
Jos let out a muffled moan, "You're such a bad little perv..." Her words were cut off as Russ pressed himself against her backside.
"Little am I?" He growled as he nipped her neck harder, "But I will give you the 'bad perv' part." He removed his hand from between her legs and bend her over the desk. He let the hand on her breast slide down her body until he found the hem of her skirt as he began gliding it up her thighs. "Tell me sensei what is it you do to bad boys who misbehave in your classroom?"
Jos clenched the edge of the desk as she fought her brain for at least one logical thought, "At this point, I would be wasting my breath by telling you noooooo..." Her last word lingered as he slid her lace panties to the side and slid himself inside her.
Russ chuckled as her protests slowly morphed into low moans. "No, I guess it wouldn't... at this point." He flexed his hips more powerfully to emphasize his last words. When her moans began coming closer together he began moving faster and pumping his hips harder against her.
Joslyn bit hard into her lip to keep from calling out, she whispered as quietly as she could. "Russ Please!"
Russ's lips turned up into a grin, "Russ please, what?" He intentionally slowed his thrusts.
She whimpered and pushed herself against him. "Please..."
He completely pulled out of her and turned her to face him. He cupped her small face in his huge hand, "Jos, tell me what you want."
Jos gazed up into his eyes. She couldn't form words but instead sat on top the desk. She reached out and took him by the front of his shirt and pulled him closer until he was standing directly between her legs. She held his intense gaze as she released his shirt with one hand and let it fall between them.
Russ grinned down at her, "Go on, baby, take what you want.." He bent down and captured her lips as she circled her hands around his girth. He pressed himself into her grip and allowed her to pull him closer still. He grinned against her lips, his eyes sparkling with great joy as she pressed him against her warm wet center. He thrust his hips against her core diving tongue and cock into her simultaneously. He gripped her hips pulling her closer to the edge of the desk. "Jos, tell me you love me..." He pressed his forehead against hers, gazing into her eyes. "I know you say it frequently... You have always told me..." His eyes sparkled as he gazed down into hers. "But I want to hear it now, as you are looking into my eyes as we make love." He gripped her hips tighter as he moved against her, "Tell me you love me as your lover."
Joslyn's eyes widened and her body stopped moving against his. A single tear slipped down her cheek as she cupped his face. "Russ... I..." She cleared her throat, "Russ, I love you. I love you more than anything in this world." She tangled her fingers into his hair and pulled his face down to cover his face in kisses before pulling away again. "Russ, I don't give you my body for any other reason than true and meaningful love." She held his gaze. "I can't promise you forever, you know that. Hell, I can't promise you tomorrow, but I can promise you I will always love you!" She knotted her hands into his hair pulling him closer to her. She kissed him passionately as she began moving against him once again.
Russ held Joslyn tightly against in the padded office chair behind her desk. He kissed the top of her head lovingly, "You don't understand what those words mean to me." He gently turned her around until their eyes met. "I swear to you on my mother and father's grave you will be my wife and to hell with anyone who's stupid enough to fight against it." He traced her jaw with his fingers bringing his face closer to hers, "That is if say yes." He cupped her face and pulled her down until her forehead was against his, "Please Jos... say yes..."
Tears flooded her eyes, "Russ, I can't... It's not fair of you to ask..." Joslyn pushed up off his lap and began to adjust her clothes. She kept her eyes on her task as she added, "You're going to be late to practice."
Russ stood up and walked around the edge of the desk. He leaned against the desk and crossed his arms over his chest. "And I guess you have someone to meet soon as well?" He pushed himself up from the desk and walked over toward her. He bent and kissed the top of her head, "I'll see you after practice, this conversation isn't over. I told you I will not take 'no' as an answer... from anyone." He bent and placed a tender kiss on her lips. "I love you, Joslyn Boosilis." He grinned down at her shocked face. "Why so shocked? You better get used to hearing that last name babe." He captured her lips quickly then turned to leave the room.
Rin is one of my favorite characters. He has been the funnest to design for the comic as well! <3
