Elysium: Desired by the Cold-hearted Princess [GL]
Chapter 166 166: I know what I want

Third-person POV

Electra leaned back against the edge of the teacher's desk, her eyes scanning the walls of the classroom as if they might provide her with some sort of escape.

Meanwhile, Seraphina sat cross-legged on the floor, leaning back against one of the student desks, her head tilted to one side as she stared intently at Electra.

Electra could feel Seraphina's gaze burning into her, but she chose to ignore it, trying to focus on anything else in the room.

She knew Seraphina was still under the influence of whatever drug she'd ingested earlier, and she was doing her best to keep things under control. It wasn't easy, especially not with Seraphina looking at her like that.

Seraphina, on the other hand, had finally gotten control of her breathing, and even though she was still feeling the effects of whatever drug had been in her drink, her focus on Electra was sharper now.

She watched the way Electra's jaw tensed, the way her fingers drummed lightly on the desk she was leaning against, and the subtle furrow of her brows as though she were lost in thought.

Seraphina wasn't sure if it was the remnants of the drug or something else entirely, but she felt an overwhelming urge to say something—anything—that would grab Electra's attention.

Her body was still buzzing, her core still tingling in a way that was both frustrating and distracting, and being in the same room with Electra, who looked effortlessly gorgeous even when she was annoyed, wasn't helping.

The silence was finally broken when she cleared her throat, her voice slightly hoarse but clear enough to make Electra pause. "Hey, Electra," she began, her tone oddly casual for someone who had been on the verge of stripping herself minutes ago.

Electra turned her head slightly, raising an eyebrow in response. "What?"

Seraphina hesitated for a moment, as if debating whether to speak or not, before finally blurting out, "Have you ever had sex in an old, empty classroom like this one?"

Electra's entire body stiffened, and she immediately snapped her head in Seraphina's direction, her eyes wide with shock. "What the hell, Seraphina?" she exclaimed, standing upright as if the question had physically struck her.

Seraphina let out a soft chuckle, clearly enjoying Electra's reaction. Her laugh wasn't loud or mocking, but it had a teasing edge to it that made Electra's cheeks flush.

"Why are you asking me that?" Electra demanded, crossing her arms defensively. "Are the drugs kicking in again or something? Is your body burning up again?"

Seraphina smirked, shaking her head lightly. "Why do you assume it's the drugs talking?" she replied, her voice low and slightly slurred. "I'm just asking a simple question. Why so defensive?"

Electra narrowed her eyes, unsure if Seraphina was still under the influence or if she was just messing with her for the fun of it. "Because it's a ridiculous question," she shot back. "And because it's you asking it. You're not exactly the type to bring up... stuff like that, especially not when you're being yourself and not a fake version of me."

Seraphina shrugged, her expression playful. "Maybe I'm just full of surprises," she said, leaning back against the desk behind her, her lips curving into a faint smile.

Electra groaned in frustration, running a hand through her hair. "I don't have time for this, Seraphina," she said, her tone exasperated. "You're supposed to be coming down from whatever you drank, not… whatever this is."

Seraphina tilted her head, her gaze never leaving Electra. "So that's a no?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Electra shot her a glare. "What?"

"You've never done it in a classroom?" Seraphina clarified, her tone still teasing.

Electra opened her mouth to respond but then quickly shut it, realizing she was falling into Seraphina's game. "This isn't a conversation I'm having with you now," she said firmly.

"Why not?" Seraphina asked, her voice laced with curiosity. "It's just a question. I mean, you're Electra Vale, right? The Queen of Elysium High? I figured you'd have all kinds of wild stories. Would you like to share some with me?"

Electra's glare softened slightly, and she let out a small, reluctant laugh. "I think you're confusing me with some kind of fictional character," she muttered.

Seraphina grinned, clearly not letting up. "So you're saying you've never gone as far as having sex in class? Not even once?"

Electra rolled her eyes, her irritation slowly giving way to amusement despite herself. "I'm saying I'm not answering your ridiculous questions," she said, shaking her head.

Seraphina leaned forward slightly, her smile growing. "Oh, come on, Electra," she teased. "What's the harm in sharing? We're in an empty classroom, just the two of us. It's not like anyone else is here to hear it."

Electra shot her a pointed look. "You're unbelievable," she said, though there was a faint hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Seraphina leaned back again, looking entirely too pleased with herself. "I'll take that as a yes, then," she said smugly.

Electra groaned again, turning away to face the door as if she were seriously considering walking out. "You're being very annoying right now, kid," she muttered under her breath.

"And you're fun to mess with," Seraphina replied with a soft laugh, her voice lighter now than it had been all evening.

Despite herself, Electra couldn't help but chuckle, and without saying anything else, Seraphina would get up from where she sat and take a step closer to her.

The room seemed to shrink as Seraphina stood inches from Electra, her sly smile making the air between them almost electric as she pulled down one arm of her dress, exposing her breasts even more.

Electra tilted her head back slightly, as if trying to create some much-needed distance, but her wide eyes betrayed her shock.

"Seraphina," she said, her voice low, "what the hell are you doing?"

Seraphina's lips curved into a playful smirk. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm just standing in front of you to offer you a little... distraction. You just seem so tense, Electra, and I hate to think it's because of me."

Electra blinked rapidly, her heart thudding loudly in her chest. She wasn't used to seeing this side of Seraphina—a bold, teasing side that was both shocking and unnervingly enticing, but she wasn't going to fall for it. Now while Sera was clearly not in her right mind.

"You're still high on whatever was in that drink," she pointed out, trying to sound unaffected, though her voice wavered slightly.

Seraphina laughed softly. "Maybe," she admitted. "But it doesn't mean I don't know what I'm saying or what I want." She leaned in closer, her breath warm against Electra's cheek.

Electra instinctively leaned back, putting a hand on Seraphina's shoulder to create some space between them.

"Sera," she began, her tone serious now, "this isn't you. You're still feeling the effects of whatever was in your system, and I'm not going to take advantage of that. So how about we cool off, literally and figuratively, and talk when you're thinking clearly?"

Seraphina tilted her head, studying Electra's face like she was searching for something. After a moment, her smirk faded slightly, replaced by an expression that was almost vulnerable.

"What if I told you I didn't want to think clearly?" she asked softly. "What if I told you that for today, I don't want to think? I just want to feel something, Electra. I want to feel something... with someone I like. Can't I do that?"
