00:00After being forced to stand at attention under the blazing sun for 3 hours by a drill instructor from hell,
00:07I gritted my teeth and sent a message to my little toy.
00:11Bad pup, bring your best massage oil you can find and kneel in the hotel room waiting for me tonight.
00:17If you hurt me even once, you're dead.
00:20The reply came instantly.
00:22Mistress is finally willing to reward me.
00:25Half an hour later, I dragged my aching body to the hotel,
00:30only to run straight into the cold-blooded commander who had punished me with 50 push-ups that very morning.
00:37He tugged open the collar of his black tactical shirt.
00:41Still have the energy to wander around, Sterling? Looks like I was too easy on you this morning.
00:46I froze on the spot, because beneath his loosely fastened collar,
00:51I caught a glimpse of a chest chain glinting faintly in the light.
00:55It was the exact style I had personally picked out for my online fling on Amazon two days ago.
01:02I stared at Julian Vance's striking face, all impatience and rigid self-control.
01:08At that moment, my already limited brain capacity completely short-circuited.
01:13How is that even possible?
01:17Julian was the coldest, most ruthless drill instructor in the ROTC program.
01:22Military discipline ran in his blood.
01:25He was always dressed in immaculate camouflage.
01:28And whenever he looked at me, his gaze was so icy, it felt like he wanted to tear me apart.
01:33There was absolutely no way I could reconcile the military tyrant standing before me
01:39with the submissive little puppy on line,
01:42who wore a collar and showed up with reddened eyes, begging for my attention every day.
01:47It has to be a coincidence.
01:50Instructor Vance, I said, trying my best to look like an innocent student.
01:55What are you doing here?
01:57His dark green eyes narrowed slightly as they swept over me with an unmistakable air of authority.
02:04I'm here to handle some personal matter.
02:06As he moved, the silver chain hanging against his collarbone swayed gently.
02:11It even bore the initials of my online alias.
02:15My breath caught in my throat.
02:17A personal matter?
02:18I could practically hear my own teeth chattering.
02:22Like someone's obedient little puppy.
02:25Julian's entire body went rigid.
02:27The storm that erupted in those green eyes.
02:31A flicker of change crossed Julian's face.
02:34His slender fingers moved quickly,
02:37fastening the top button of his shirt in one smooth motion.
02:41What are you staring at?
02:43As if suddenly remembering something,
02:45he pulled out his phone and started typing.
02:48Julian shot me a puzzled glance before lowering his head and continuing to type.
02:54Panicking, I shoved a hand into my pocket and pressed the mute button as hard as I could.
02:59By the time Julian looked up at me again,
03:02but inside, I was already dead.
03:05The black shirt we had agreed on.
03:07The private chess chain I had personally chosen.
03:10And the phone vibrating in my pocket.
03:13Every damning coincidence was pointing to one absurd, undeniable truth.
03:19My online fling was none other than Julian Vance.
03:22The same man who spent his days making the entire training field run laps,
03:27and reducing more than 10 freshmen to tears with his brutal tongue.
03:31I stared at Julian, unable to process what I'd just realized.
03:35Why are you still standing here?
03:37Have you even looked at the time?
03:38Get back to your dorm.
03:42And what exactly are you wearing?
03:43Do you think you're heading to a fraternity party?
03:46Coming from the guy wearing a chest chain and a bell
03:50so he could show up and give his mistress a foot massage?
03:53That was rich.
03:55I came here to meet.
03:59Who you're here to see has nothing to do with me.
04:02Whatever trouble you get self into,
04:04it'll be the school authorities that have to deal with the consequences.
04:07If you don't get back to your dorm right now,
04:09I'll report your name to the advisor tomorrow
04:11and cancel your freshman scholarship.
04:13Please don't involve the advisor.
04:15I'm leaving right now, sir.
04:17Stop.
04:17The moment I was out of Julian's sight,
04:20I let out a long breath of relief.
04:22Only then did I realize why he hadn't recognized me.
04:26We'd had several very in-depth video calls,
04:30but neither of us had ever shown our face.
04:33Before leaving tonight, I thought,
04:35if he turns out to be ugly,
04:38I'll just pretend I'm a random passerby and disappear.
04:41So I'd lied and told him I'd be wearing a long black dress.
04:45Pulling out my phone,
04:47the screen was filled with messages from Julian.
04:50Mistress, I need to confess a mistake.
04:53A freshman from the training camp
04:55accidentally saw my chest chain just now,
04:57but I covered it immediately.
05:01Apology tax.
05:03Buy yourself that pair of red bottom heels you love.
05:06I hadn't planned on replying,
05:08but the moment I saw that shiny $5,000,
05:11my finger betrayed me and tapped accept.
05:15Julian's next message arrived almost instantly.
05:18Mistress, have you arrived?
05:21Did you see me?
05:23I peeked around the corner at Julian,
05:25who was standing in the distance,
05:27looking down at his phone.
05:29After being lectured by him
05:31in his commanding officer persona,
05:33all I wanted right now was to make him squirm.
05:37So I deliberately replied,
05:39I don't want to see you anymore.
05:41Messages flooded in immediately.
05:44Why?
05:45Do you hate me now?
05:46Don't you need me to give you a massage anymore?
05:49I can guarantee I'll make you feel better.
05:52Then a short video arrived.
05:57I even wore your favorite chain tonight.
05:59And the little bell, too.
06:01Are you really sure you don't want to hear them ring?
06:07His broad chest rose and fell steadily.
06:11Glimpses of metal and leather crossing beneath the partially open shirt.
06:16How did this man, who had absolutely no limits online,
06:20have the nerve to lecture me?
06:21On the training field during the day,
06:24he was nothing short of a demon.
06:26That morning, I'd been a split second slow during formation
06:30because of low blood sugar.
06:32He'd made me do 50 push-ups in front of everyone.
06:36Then, after deciding my form wasn't good enough,
06:39he'd kept me behind for another 30 minutes of drills under his watchful eye.
06:44A secret, intensely satisfying desire for revenge
06:48suddenly stirred inside me.
06:50You're such a tease.
06:52I'm only like this for mistress.
06:55Do you like it?
06:56No.
06:57It was obvious that the infamous devil commander
07:00was now in a state of complete panic
07:03because of a single message from me.
07:05A smile tugged at my lips.
07:07Another woman saw you just now.
07:10I'm upset.
07:11I don't want you anymore.
07:13The entire walk back to the dorm,
07:15my phone vibrated non-stop.
07:18I stubbornly refused to look at it.
07:20By the time I got back,
07:22my roommate Chloe and several other girls
07:25were sitting cross-legged on the carpet,
07:27deep in a gossip session.
07:30What does your online boyfriend look like?
07:36Just look at her face.
07:37He must have been average at best.
07:39Otherwise, there's no way she'd be back this quickly.
07:43Yep, he looked like the kind of guy who eats children.
07:45I took one look from a distance and ran.
07:47The room erupted in laughter.
07:50To be fair, I don't blame you.
07:52Ever since meeting Julian,
07:54every guy in the fraternities looks like a potato to me.
07:56I don't even want to reply to their messages anymore.
08:00Seriously, have you seen his chest?
08:02It's ridiculously hot.
08:04Several girls brought him water during break today,
08:06and he didn't even glance at them.
08:09He's like an iceberg.
08:10I can't even imagine what he would be like in bed.
08:12Total daddy type.
08:13Or maybe he secretly likes being somebody's lap dog.
08:20Sienna, would you stop reading so much smut?
08:23Julian comes from old money East Coast family wealth.
08:27He's a top cadet, practically guaranteed a place at West Point.
08:32If he ever found out you said that,
08:34he wouldn't just destroy you during training.
08:36He could make your academic life a complete nightmare.
08:40Right.
08:40What if Julian ever discovered
08:42that the person he'd been playing those secret power exchange games with
08:45every night was actually Sterling,
08:48the freshman cadet he spent his days tearing apart on the training field?
08:52He'd absolutely lose his mind from embarrassment
08:54and use every bit of authority he has to kick me out of the program.
09:00I'm kidding.
09:01Seriously, don't repeat that to anyone.
09:03Under no circumstances could he learn my real identity.
09:07After washing up and climbing into bed,
09:10I finally opened our chat.
09:12Because I hated being spammed with calls,
09:15Julian had shown remarkable restraint
09:17and only tried calling once.
09:19But he'd sent dozens of frantic messages.
09:23Mistress, I'm sorry.
09:24I won't let anyone else see something
09:27that belongs only to you ever again.
09:30I love you.
09:32Please don't ignore me.
09:34I'm begging you.
09:35The final messages were a series of transfer notifications
09:39with shockingly large amounts attached.
09:42Please forgive.
09:44Your pup.
09:46My queen.
09:47My heart started racing before I could stop it.
09:50The man online was just playing a role.
09:52In real life, he was Julian Vance,
09:56the man who could intimidate people into silence with a single look.
10:00Dating him in the real world would be a disaster.
10:03The smartest thing to do is end this before he figures out who I am.
10:07I've gotten bored.
10:09Our game ends here.
10:11Before I could even lock my screen,
10:13my phone began vibrating wildly.
10:16Please.
10:17A good pup only belongs to one mistress for life.
10:21Don't leave me.
10:22I'll lose my mind.
10:24If you're bored,
10:25we can try something different.
10:27Push things further.
10:28Change the rules.
10:30Whatever you want.
10:31Just don't leave me.
10:32I was about to block him when the screen suddenly switched to an incoming FaceTime call.
10:39My first encounter with Julian was a ridiculous accident.
10:43Last summer, I was holed up at home grinding FPS games.
10:48After losing 10 matches in a row,
10:50I was completely tilted when I got matched with him.
10:54Eight minutes into the game,
10:56after watching his terrible gameplay,
10:58I turned on my mic and started roasting him.
11:01Are those hands of yours for using a keyboard or digging ditches?
11:06If I sprinkled dog teats on my keyboard,
11:09my dog would have better movement than you.
11:12After the match ended,
11:13he actually sent me a friend request.
11:15I thought he wanted to argue back.
11:17Instead, the first message he sent was,
11:20Do you really have a dog that can play video games?
11:23I turned on my mic.
11:25Are you actually stupid or are you pretending?
11:28There was a brief pause before he replied.
11:31Oh, then if you don't,
11:33can I be that dog?
11:39Your voice sounded really nice when you were yelling at me.
11:44I liked it.
11:46You're such a freak.
11:48I was just about to close the game when he spoke up again.
11:52Insult me one more time and I'll send you $1,000.
11:57From that day on,
11:58he became my personal puppy.
12:01Every day,
12:02he'd send me pictures of his muscles,
12:04trying to earn my approval and keep me entertained.
12:07By unspoken agreement,
12:10neither of us ever showed our faces.
12:12Instead,
12:13we played a dangerous,
12:15thrilling,
12:16power exchange game from behind our screens.
12:19Then the semester started.
12:21Then the semester started.
12:21When we discovered we were both living in the same city,
12:24he kept asking to meet me in person.
12:26Who could have guessed?
12:28The man begging me online to toy with him
12:30and the man tormenting me on the training field during the day
12:33were actually the same person.
12:37After washing up and climbing into bed,
12:40I finally opened our chat.
12:42Because I hated being spammed with calls,
12:45Julian had shown remarkable restraint
12:47and only tried calling once.
12:49But he'd sent dozens of frantic messages.
12:53Mistress,
12:54I'm sorry.
12:55I won't let anyone else see something
12:57that belongs only to you ever again.
13:00I love you.
13:02Please don't ignore me.
13:04I'm begging you.
13:05The final messages were a series of transfer notifications
13:09with shockingly large amounts attached.
13:12Please forgive.
13:14Your pup.
13:16My queen.
13:17My heart started racing before I could stop it.
13:20The man online was just playing a role.
13:23In real life,
13:24he was Julian Vance,
13:26the man who could intimidate people into silence
13:28with a single look.
13:30Dating him in the real world would be a disaster.
13:33The smartest thing to do is end this
13:36before he figures out who I am.
13:38I've gotten bored.
13:39Our game ends here.
13:41Before I could even lock my screen,
13:44my phone began vibrating wildly.
13:47Please.
13:47A good pup only belongs to one mistress for life.
13:51Don't leave me.
13:52I'll lose my mind.
13:54If you're bored,
13:55we can try something different.
13:57Push things further.
13:59Change the rules.
13:59Whatever you want.
14:01Just don't leave me.
14:03I was about to block him
14:04when the screen suddenly switched
14:06to an incoming FaceTime call.
14:09At the same moment,
14:11Julian's voice came through the speaker,
14:13noticeably hoarse and breathless.
14:16C.C., I'm not dirty.
14:19Please don't leave me.
14:21My heart slammed against my ribs.
14:24Panicking,
14:24I mashed the volume button all the way down
14:27and practically dove beneath my comforter.
14:30Julian didn't stop.
14:32Mistress,
14:33I just learned a new way to punish myself.
14:36Do you want to see it?
14:37Even through the screen,
14:38I could feel my face burning.
14:40I forced the tremor out of my voice.
14:44No.
14:45A low,
14:45wounded sound immediately came from the other end of the call.
14:49Why?
14:50I'm really tired.
14:52We'll talk tomorrow.
14:53Silence.
14:54For two whole seconds.
14:56Then he relented with infuriating obedience.
14:59Then I'll record it and send it to you.
15:01When you wake up tomorrow and watch it,
15:04you'll forgive me, right?
15:05I didn't dare let him say another word.
15:08Mumbling some vague response,
15:10I ended the call as fast as I could.
15:14The next morning,
15:16I finally experienced what real hell looked like.
15:19After ten straight minutes of holding a plank
15:21under the blazing sun,
15:23I was ready to scream.
15:25Beside me,
15:26Chloe looked equally miserable.
15:28My arms are completely numb.
15:30Which asshole peed in Julian's protein powder this morning?
15:33What the hell is wrong with him today?
15:35Maybe some woman dumped him last night.
15:37Oh, please.
15:38Even if the world ended,
15:40that guy wouldn't let a single emotion show on his face.
15:44Thank God.
15:45Another instructor suddenly called Julian away
15:48to verify the freshman roster.
15:50The second he turned around,
15:52the entire formation collapsed onto the grass.
15:55I furtively slipped my phone out of the pocket of my training pants.
15:59At two in the morning,
16:01he'd sent me an encrypted video.
16:03This morning,
16:04I'd only watched the first three seconds before shutting it off.
16:08Yet those three seconds had replayed in my head all day.
16:12I lowered the volume to the absolute minimum,
16:16cupped one hand around the edge of the screen,
16:18and pressed play.
16:20Who would have guessed
16:21that the same control freak
16:23who spent his days barking orders at us from above
16:26could be so reckless and private?
16:28My pulse quickened as I watched.
16:31I was so distracted
16:32that I didn't notice the training field
16:34gradually falling silent around me.
16:37Not until a tall shadow fell across my body.
16:41I looked up.
16:42Julian was staring down at me.
16:44Instinctively,
16:45I tried to shove my phone up my training pants.
16:48Sterling,
16:48did I give the order for a break?
16:50I swallowed hard.
16:51No, sir.
16:54I can't hear how you address a superior officer louder!
16:58Sir!
16:59No, sir!
16:59Ten laps around the field.
17:01Move.
17:02Now.
17:03Sympathetic looks immediately came from every direction.
17:06My nose stung.
17:08I felt wronged beyond words.
17:09Everyone else was resting.
17:11Why was he always singling me out?
17:14Right before sprinting off,
17:15my knees buckled,
17:16sending me stumbling.
17:17My phone slipped free from my training pants.
17:20Oh no.
17:21The video is still open.
17:23A low muffled sound from the video
17:25suddenly came through the phone's speaker.
17:27I lunged forward to grab my phone,
17:29but my fingers closed on empty air.
17:31Julian had already picked it up,
17:33and now his eyes were fixed on the screen.
17:36Fuck!
17:37What's he going to do?
17:39Confiscate my phone in front of everyone?
17:41Kick me out of the training program on the spot?
17:43But the disaster I expected never came.
17:46Julian stared at the screen for a long moment.
17:48Then he tossed the phone back into my arms.
17:51Thank God.
17:51The impact from hitting the ground
17:53had triggered the screen lock.
17:54I was just about to slip back into formation
17:57when Julian suddenly stepped closer.
17:59Where did you get that lock screen wallpaper?
18:02Wait.
18:03What?
18:04My lock screen wallpaper.
18:06It was one of the ab photos Julian had sent me.
18:08In the picture,
18:10he was wearing nothing but a pair of gray sweatpants.
18:13Sure, I'd added a cute pink filter
18:15and rotated the image.
18:17But what man wouldn't recognize his own abs?
18:21Uh, uh, it's just some random male model photo I found online.
18:27His eyes narrowed dangerously.
18:29Clearly, he didn't believe a single word.
18:31Every alarm bell in my head started screaming.
18:34So I switched tactics.
18:36Putting on an expression of shock disbelief
18:38mixed with faint disgust,
18:40I looked him up and down.
18:41Why would you even ask that, sir?
18:44I paused deliberately.
18:46Yeah.
18:48Unless you've taken photos like that yourself.
18:53Fuck.
18:54What's he going to do?
18:56Confiscate my phone in front of everyone?
18:58Kick me out of the training program on the spot?
19:00But the disaster I expected never came.
19:03Julian stared at the screen for a long moment.
19:05Then he tossed the phone back into my arms.
19:08Thank God.
19:08The impact from hitting the ground
19:10had triggered the screen lock.
19:11I was just about to slip back into formation
19:14when Julian suddenly stepped closer.
19:16Where did you get that lock screen wallpaper?
19:19Wait.
19:20What?
19:21My lock screen wallpaper.
19:23It was one of the ab photos Julian had sent me.
19:25In the picture,
19:27he was wearing nothing but a pair of gray sweatpants.
19:30Sure, I'd added a cute pink filter
19:32and rotated the image.
19:34But what man wouldn't recognize his own abs?
19:38Uh, uh, it's just some
19:40random male model photo I found online.
19:43His eyes narrowed dangerously.
19:46Clearly, he didn't believe a single word.
19:48Every alarm bell in my head started screaming.
19:51So I switched tactics.
19:53Putting on an expression of shock disbelief
19:55mixed with faint disgust,
19:57I looked him up and down.
19:58Why would you even ask that, sir?
20:01I paused deliberately.
20:05Unless you've taken photos like that yourself.
20:10Julian flushed deeply to his eartips.
20:13Watch your mouth, Sterling.
20:15Formation!
20:16Fall in!
20:17Sterling,
20:18ten laps.
20:19Now.
20:20You don't eat lunch until you finish every single one.
20:24I clenched my jaw and turned toward the track.
20:27Fine.
20:28I'll run.
20:29By the time I finished,
20:30the cafeteria had already been picked clean.
20:33I ended up curled on a bench
20:35with nothing but a stale bread roll for lunch.
20:38Mistress,
20:38why haven't you spoken to me all morning?
20:40I snapped a photo of the empty wrapper beside me
20:43and sent it over.
20:44Eating lunch.
20:45Busy.
20:45How can that count as lunch?
20:47That's barely food.
20:48A second later,
20:49a Venmo notification appeared.
20:52$1,000 received.
20:54Some psychotic asshole
20:55has been making my life miserable all day.
20:58Because of him,
20:59I missed lunch.
21:00Then he's a complete bastard.
21:02I hope he goes straight to hell.
21:04Seeing how obedient he was
21:06now made his earlier arrogance on the training field
21:09even more satisfying to remember.
21:11My desire for revenge
21:12hit an all-time high.
21:14That punishment video you sent last night
21:16was pathetic.
21:17Honestly,
21:18it was embarrassing to watch.
21:20What makes a man
21:21who'd throw away his pride
21:22just to please a woman
21:23think he deserves to be my only pup?
21:25Only a few seconds passed
21:27before a voice message appeared.
21:30If you don't like me being this needy,
21:33I can change.
21:34I can be a well-behaved good boy.
21:36Whatever you tell me to do,
21:37I'll do it.
21:38Please don't leave me.
21:40Listening to this man,
21:42the same man who acted untouchable all day,
21:44begging me in such a broken voice,
21:46felt absurdly satisfying.
21:48I locked my screen without replying.
21:51Between the lack of sleep
21:52and those miserable punishment laps,
21:54I spent the entire afternoon
21:55feeling like a zombie.
21:57The first activity after formation was,
22:00of course,
22:00the dreaded uniform and appearance inspection.
22:03Julian strode down the line
22:05in long, deliberate steps.
22:07When he stopped in front of me,
22:09I automatically lowered my eyes to the ground,
22:11already prepared for the daily humiliation
22:13that inevitably accompanied his inspections.
22:16What's that on the corner of your mouth?
22:19Breadcrumbs.
22:20Julian froze.
22:23The icy look in his eyes fell apart,
22:26overtaken by a tangled mess of emotions.
22:28Is he about to make me run another five laps
22:31over a few crumbs?
22:32Just as I braced myself for another round
22:35of targeted harassment,
22:36something completely unexpected happened.
22:38Julian smiled.
22:40Sienna.
22:41Every hair on my body stood on end.
22:43My heart nearly stopped.
22:46How can I help you, sir?
22:49Then I witnessed the most ridiculous thing
22:51I had ever seen in my life.
22:53The devil commander,
22:55who could probably throw a grown man
22:56across a room with one hand,
22:58had red-rimmed eyes.
23:00He looked at me with a damp, wounded gaze,
23:02like a puppy that had just been scolded.
23:04I swallowed hard.
23:06My heartbeat thundered in my ears.
23:08After several seconds
23:09of deeply uncomfortable silence,
23:12his Adam's apple bobbed.
23:13With obvious effort,
23:14he looked away.
23:16It's nothing.
23:17Maintain your posture.
23:19He threw out the order
23:20and immediately turned
23:21toward the next unfortunate cadet.
23:23But there was something strangely hurried
23:25about his retreating steps.
23:26The rest of training
23:27was every bit as brutal as before.
23:29Sienna, I'm begging you.
23:31Just pretend to faint.
23:32The second you go down,
23:34I'll rush you to the infirmary
23:35and we'll both escape this hell.
23:37Use your brain.
23:38We're standing on boiling hot asphalt.
23:40If I fall face first,
23:42I'll leave here
23:42with a traumatic brain injury.
23:45Trust me.
23:46I swear I'll catch you.
23:47My blood sugar crashed
23:49at the worst time.
23:50Black spots blurred my vision
23:52and I collapsed backward
23:53as Chloe screamed in terror.
23:55Hey,
23:56this is a brain of faith.
23:57You're doing it too soon.
23:59I wasn't ready.
24:00I squeezed my eyes shut
24:02in despair.
24:03Then a powerful arm
24:05wrapped around my waist.
24:06In one swift motion,
24:08I was pulled against
24:09a solid,
24:10burning hot chest.
24:12I opened my eyes,
24:14still shaken.
24:15Julian's flawless face
24:16was suddenly inches away from mine.
24:19The usual cold superiority
24:20was gone.
24:21In its place
24:22was naked panic
24:24and concern.
24:25I jerked away from him
24:26as if I'd been burned.
24:27Grabbing the hand
24:28Chloe thrust toward me,
24:30I scrambled back to my feet.
24:31Only one thought
24:33was running through my head.
24:34He couldn't think
24:35I'm faking this
24:36to get out of training.
24:37Sir,
24:38I have low blood sugar.
24:39That's right, sir.
24:41Sienna missed lunchtime today.
24:42That's why she fainted.
24:44Please,
24:44let her take a break.
24:45I closed my mouth
24:46and waited for the punishment.
24:48Maybe push-ups
24:49or extra laps
24:51or both.
24:52Instead,
24:53something completely unexpected
24:55flashed across Julian's face.
24:57Guilt.
24:58He suddenly spun toward the formation
25:00and barked at the top of his lungs.
25:01Everyone,
25:03take a one hour break!
25:05Then he turned back to me
25:06and somehow,
25:08impossibly,
25:09his voice became gentle.
25:11Sienna,
25:13I can take you to the infirmary.
25:15A brief pause.
25:16Or,
25:17would you rather
25:18I get you some coffee?
25:20My brain completely
25:21stopped functioning.
25:22What the hell is happening?
25:25I opened my eyes,
25:27still shaken.
25:28Julian's flawless face
25:29was suddenly
25:30inches away from mine.
25:32The usual cold superiority
25:33was gone.
25:34In its place
25:35was naked panic
25:37and concern.
25:38I jerked away from him
25:39as if I'd been burned.
25:40Grabbing the hand
25:41Chloe thrust toward me,
25:43I scrambled back to my feet.
25:45Only one thought
25:46was running through my head.
25:47He couldn't think
25:48I'm faking this
25:49to get out of training.
25:50Sir,
25:51I have low blood sugar.
25:52That's right, sir.
25:54Sienna missed lunchtime today.
25:56That's why she fainted.
25:56Please,
25:58let her take a break.
25:58I closed my mouth
25:59and waited for the punishment.
26:01Maybe push-ups
26:02or extra laps
26:04or both.
26:05Instead,
26:06something completely unexpected
26:08flashed across Julian's face.
26:10Guilt.
26:11He suddenly spun toward the formation
26:13and barked at the top of his lungs.
26:15Everyone,
26:16take a one-hour break.
26:18Then he turned back to me
26:19and somehow,
26:21impossibly,
26:22his voice became gentle.
26:24Sienna.
26:25Sienna.
26:26I can take you to the infirmary.
26:28A brief pause.
26:29Or,
26:31would you rather
26:31I get you some coffee?
26:33My brain completely
26:34stopped functioning.
26:35What the hell is happening?
26:38I'll be fine
26:39if I just sit with everyone else
26:41for a while.
26:41Are you kidding me?
26:42There is absolutely no way
26:44I'm being alone with this man
26:45while he's acting this strange.
26:49All right.
26:50Whatever you want.
26:51Oh, God.
26:52This is horrifying.
26:54After the formation
26:55was dismissed,
26:56Julian disappeared.
26:58Ten minutes later,
26:59several employees
27:00from a local drink shop
27:01showed up
27:01carrying massive
27:03cardboard drink trays.
27:05Holy shit!
27:06Vance is a freaking legend!
27:08Julian had apparently
27:10put the entire order
27:11on his credit card.
27:12Someone shoved
27:13an ice-cold fruit juice
27:14into my hands.
27:15But I just stared at it.
27:17For some reason,
27:18I couldn't bring myself
27:19to take a sip.
27:21Sitting beside me
27:22took a huge sip
27:23of her drink
27:24and let out
27:25a blissful sigh.
27:28Cece,
27:29that collapse of yours
27:31was a legendary sacrifice.
27:34He was totally freaked out.
27:36Pizza lens.
27:37What's it like
27:37being held by a guy
27:38like Julian?
27:39Are his pecs
27:40really as hard as marble?
27:42Did he smell
27:42ridiculously good?
27:43I immediately shot her
27:45a glare,
27:45my tone guarded
27:46and disapproving.
27:47Would you shut up?
27:48There was absolutely
27:49nothing inappropriate
27:50about it.
27:51He's an emotionless
27:53control freak.
27:53I'd rather date
27:54one of the concrete
27:55pillars on the field
27:56than have a single
27:58romantic thought
27:59about him.
28:00Her eyes widened
28:01in horror
28:02as she stared
28:02at something behind me.
28:05I turned my head
28:06stiffly.
28:07A few steps away,
28:08Julian was standing
28:09there in silence.
28:10He was holding
28:11a pink pastry bag,
28:12his face pale,
28:14staring straight
28:14at me.
28:15The man who had
28:16been so domineering
28:17just seconds ago
28:18now looked like
28:19a dog that had
28:20just been kicked
28:20away by its owner.
28:22Fuck.
28:23He must have
28:23heard everything.
28:24A strong wave
28:25of guilt cleared
28:26my throat.
28:27I forced out
28:28a stiff,
28:28fake smile.
28:30Sir,
28:31thank you for the drink.
28:33Julian's eyes flickered
28:34as if he had just
28:35been slapped awake.
28:37Take this.
28:38I opened the bag.
28:40Inside was an exquisitely
28:42prepared slice
28:42of strawberry cheesecake.
28:44Oh my god, sir,
28:45you even prepared
28:46dessert specifically
28:47for Sienna?
28:48That's way too
28:49considerate.
28:50At that,
28:50my stomach sank.
28:52Strawberry cheesecake
28:53was the dessert
28:54I had told my little
28:55puppy online
28:56that I liked the most.
28:57Was this just
28:58a hell of a coincidence?
28:59Or did he already
29:00know who I was
29:01and was deliberately
29:02testing me?
29:04A strong sense
29:05of defensiveness
29:06made me take
29:07a half step back.
29:08Julian's jaw muscle
29:09twitched violently.
29:10His expression
29:11shifted into something
29:12cold and unreadable.
29:14The bar just threw
29:15that in as a
29:15complimentary item.
29:16It's to keep
29:17your blood sugar up
29:18so you don't cause
29:18me trouble again
29:19this afternoon.
29:20With that,
29:21he strode away
29:22and sat down
29:23under a tree
29:23as far from
29:24the crowd as possible.
29:25His posture
29:26looked firm
29:27and decisive,
29:28but I could still
29:29see a thick layer
29:30of grievance
29:30underneath it.
29:31I scooped up
29:32a small bite
29:33of cake
29:33with my fork
29:34and put it
29:34in my mouth
29:35when my phone
29:35suddenly buzzed
29:36in my pocket.
29:37Even if you
29:38really find me
29:39disgusting,
29:39as long as I
29:40can stay by your
29:41side,
29:41you can order me
29:42around however
29:43you like.
29:43I looked up.
29:44The tall Julian
29:45was sitting alone
29:46beneath the shade
29:47of the tree,
29:48hunched over slightly,
29:49his hands resting
29:50on his knees,
29:51head lowered in
29:52silence.
29:53An indescribable
29:54wave of bitterness
29:55broke through
29:55my rationality.
29:57Forget it.
29:58Why bother
29:59with a little dog?
30:01Good boy.
30:04I'm sorry.
30:05I'm sorry.
30:05I'm sorry.
