Hunter Ronan
"Spent an awfully long time in there consoling Duchess." I say to Zane as he and I walk to the car to drive to school, with Maddox waiting on Duchess at the front door. We could easily walk, but we like showing off our rides. Today I'm driving my matte black Escalade.
"yeah, well maybe don't be fucking pricks, and I wouldnt have to console her" Zane says. I roll my eyes, knowing damn well he got something from her in the bathroom, cause the fucker looked to damn happy coming out of the bathroom with her.
"She signed up for it." I tell him.
"That she did. And I told her as much." he shrugs. "But not my fault that I was able to take care of her, so she didnt have to go to school , making us look bad, sobbing like a fucking mess" Zane says and gets into the passenger seat.
I see Duchess coming down the stairs with Maddox, keeping her distance from him, neither saying a word. I grin, when I see Maddox letting her walk further ahead, and staring at her ass. I chuckle and nod to the window to make Zane look, and we both catch Maddox adjusting his dick in his pants staring at her ass and legs.
To match her white dress, duchess has matching white, red heeled, Louboutin's. She has her long wavy hair pinned back with a barrette on one side, and is wearing a pair of tiny pearl earrings. Zane is right, I guess, he did us a favor. Cause other than keeping her distance from Maddox, she seems like she's in a good state. We can't have her falling apart on campus, and making us look bad. Especially the other houses, with their own girls. We're the only house that gave our girl a title though. The rest of the houses, just have "a girl" that is the house bitch , well, they don't call them that. There were plenty of houses, but only six that mattered. The Brothers, The Knights, The Lords, The Kings, The Champions, and us...The Damned. Not that Im bragging, or biased, but our house, our people, were the most respected. All the houses were made up of wealthy bastards, but our house, was always made up of the most ruthless. We were also the only house, that actually had a separate house for the leaders of the house. We had about 30 other guys living in the house further off campus. They treated their ladies well. They had rules too, but we were the most strict, and we couldn't let Cherry make us look like complete fucking bastards. It'd put us in a bad spot.
I watched Cherry pull open her door and I smirked, seeing Maddox grab her ass to give a her a "lift" she may or may not have needed. She gasped and almost fell into the seat.
Maddox chuckles, slams her door and then walks around to his and gets in.
I turn the radio down.
"Today is the first day that you'll be representing us on campus." I say not bothering to look in the rearview.
I hear nothing.
"Acknowledge that you hear me talking to you Duchess." I say, gripping my wheel.
"Yes. I hear you ..Master Ronan" she says. And surprisingly she says it with a lot less spite than normal, but I hear a hint of it, either way, hearing her say it, makes my dick stir.
"I'll remind you of a few rules." I tell her.
"Yes Master Ronan." she says, acknowledging me again. I feel satisfaction.
"No talking to other guys. I don't care who it is, or what they want. Professors, Oliver, and us. That's it." I say.
"Yes Master Ronan." she says almost robotically.
"You are to check in with us, after every class." I say.
"Yes Mas-"
"I know you're listening. That's enough." I say, cutting her off.
"Today, Maddox will be meeting you for lunch. You'll meet him in the cafe area." I say, then reach to the cup holder where I put a small snack container with vegetables, and fruits, and nuts. Carol makes them for us, so we don't snack on garbage all day. But we still do.
"There's this in case you get hungry, before or after lunch. No chips or shit from vending machines. You'll drink water only, and one coffee drink a day if you'd like. Before lunch time, not after." I say. I see her nod in my rearview.
"Ok." she says calmly, not arguing.
"After classes you'll meet us at the fountain. I finish mine first today, so I'll be there waiting, and will expect you there in a timely manner. You are to come right to the fountain, nowhere else." I tell her.
She nods again.
"May I ask a question?" she asks, surprising me. I cock a brow.
"Sure." I say looking in the rearview as we park in our spot at the front of the school.
"I... I'm not trying to be a smart ass.." she prefaces.
"But, I'm allowed to go to the bathroom when I want right?" she asks and I try not to laugh.
"Yes. We'd prefer you do it between classes though, so you don't miss anything." I say. She nods.
"I ..I can do that." she nods.
"One more thing...." I say , and see her eyes flick upward.
"We expect you to show us a certain amount of.....I wouldn't say...affection...but you should walk close to us....not ten feet away from us like you did with Maddox when leaving the house." I say.
Maddox nods. "yea Cherry."
She looks to him and then back to me in the mirror.
"To be with us, as our Duchess...is an honor, whether you believe it to be or not. So you should act appreciative in public, dote on us. No crying. Save that shit for home." I say. She nods.
"Any other questions?" I say after a moment.
"not right now. May I text you if I think of one later?" she asks.
I cock a brow, and am somehow annoyed that she's being fucking polite, like she's a brand new fucking girl, not looking to piss me off.
"Yes. You can text the group chat. One of us will answer. Always have your phone on you. Always respond when we text. We will try not to text during your classes." I say. She nods.
"Thank you." she says, and I turn my head so does Zane and I see Maddox look at her too.
She blinks and looks around the car at all of us.
"D-did I do something wrong?" she asks.
"Nope." Zane says, and I catch the wink he gives her. fucking Zane.

The car ride to school was less painful than I thought it would be. When Hunter is done giving me the over bearing run down and rule reminders, Zane hops out and opens my door for me. I look at him and raise a brow.
"The respect should go both ways in public...you're our Duchess, so we will treat you like one....and Master titles are not required on campus. You're allowed to use our names only. Unless, you want brownie points" he smirks. "I dont mind you calling me Master" he grins.
I roll my eyes slightly , but also hide the hint off a smile at how fucking cheesy he is. Zane grabs the Christian dior tote bag I found among several totes, and purses in my closet. It has my laptop in it, as well as the few books I'll need, and I'm thankful that Zane carries it, because the books are damn heavy.
"Thanks." I say and he gives me a little wink, slides his hand onto my lower back.
"Let's get you to class Cherry" he says.
As we walk into the front courtyard in between the main four buildings, I don't miss the way girls are staring, the way guys are staring.
"Chin up Duchess" Zane whispers. I straighten my shoulders and lift my chin as we walk, and he reaches down, grabbing my hand. I look up to him and he smiles, then looks ahead as Hunter and Maddox follow behind us.
"Oh Hunterrrr" a girl calls from across the fountain and I recognize her as one of the girls that was sitting in the house, waiting for her "interview".
Hunter groans ,and closes his eyes and doesnt even answer, letting the girl come all the way around, calling his name again two more times like an idiot.
"Hunter!" she squeals with a giggle, coming up beside him.
"aww" she says looking at me and then giving a little pout. "I was really hoping to hear back from you guys, I see you made your choice for Duchess." she says giving me a once over, all but rolling her eyes, clearly not impressed , not that I care.
"We did." he says, and I look at the girl. She's similar height, almost the same color hair, same eye color. Our bodies are somewhat similar, other than our chests.
"Well, if you're not busy tonight.." she giggles, and lifts a finger up to his chest, running it down, I see her curl her fingers around his belt. "Maybe we can...ya know" she says suggestively.
Also in the contract, was that the guys were allowed to do pretty much whatever they want. While I was expected to stay only available to them, and that included sexually obviously. I don't know why it angered me that this girl, who seemed to be a desperate version of me was trying to throw herself at Hunter. I didn't fucking want him. But it still pissed me off.
I watch Hunter shrug. "Text me later, I'll let you know." he says and looks at me, and then I redirect my eyes as Zane pulls me to him gently, turning me.
I look up and he smiles down at me, his hands slipping up and down my sides, and I swear for a second it feels like this is normal. I feel a pain in my chest, because all I want is for someone to look at me like that and mean it...not as part of some game, or arrangement, or for show.
"Ready for class gorgeous?" Zane asks , leaning down, his hands going to my ass, and my eyes widen. He leans down and nudges hair back from ear.
"Get into it Cherry, put those hands around my neck and give me a sweet fucking kiss" he whispers.
I inhale and lift my hands to his neck. He pulls back from my ear and tilts his head, as I push up on my tip toes and catch a big smile on his face as I push my lips to his , closing my eyes.
"Mm" he hums slightly and with one hand on my ass, the other comes up the middle of my back and up into my hair, where he grabs it pulling gently, angling my face so he can push his tongue into my mouth, past my lips.
I feel my hands grip his neck tighter, as he pulls my tiny frame into his, and I don't,..hate the kiss. I yelp into his mouth, when the hand on my ass moves and he swings his arm around my lower back and lifts me, my heels leaving the ground, and my one leg kicks up, and I feel my dress rising, and I cant help but laugh into the kiss, as I reach one arm down , my hand pulling on my dress.
"Zane! My dress!" I squeal.
He lowers me back to my feet, his hands sliding down to my ass, his one hand spanking me as I pull down my dress, as his mouth still pushes against mine, his tongue stealing more of my mouth.
"Oh wow" the girl says, and Hunter clears his throat.
"Zane." Hunter says, but Zane is smiling and making me forget that he's a prick for just a simple moment, and , playfully licks my lips.
"I want one." Maddox says. Grabbing my arm, and then, that moment is lost as Maddox aggressively grabs my face and shoves his tongue into my mouth.
His hands are on my face, and they're not soft, they're not playful, and he bites my lip, making me yelp and I pull away, lifting my hand to my mouth. Touching my lip, realizing I'm bleeding, when I pull my fingers away with a little bit of bright red on them.
Maddox grins and pulls me back, and sucks on my lips, his tongue moving over my inner lip , licking at the tangy metal taste of my blood.
I can't pull away a second time, so I let him and he groans, his large hands coming up my sides, his thumbs pushing over the sides of my breasts.
I gasp into his mouth as he pinches my nipple, and tugs through my dress.
He smirks, pulling back and looking down.
"Gotta make em match" he says, reaching for the other, and gently pinching, cocking his head and my lips part, and I'm stunned as I just look back at him. He gives an evil grin and keeps toying with it. I can't lie that it feels good, but I don't want it to, because Maddox doesnt deserve to make me feel good, not after the shit he pulled this morning, when he was so fucking sweet to me last night, making me feel safe, then ripping that comfort away as soon as I woke up.
"On second thought...come right over after you get out." I hear Hunter tell the girl.
"Bring a few friends for the guys." Hunter says and I see Maddox look at him and his brows furrow.
"Sure can babe" the girl says and giggles and scampers away.
"Take her to class." Hunter says as we all stare at him, Im turned slightly, and see him eye my breasts, my nipple I know is hard and poking through the white dress.
He nods to me.
"don't forget the rules Cherry." he says.
I shake my head. "I wont."
