Lifting my head, I meet her stunning blue eyes. “Reanna…” I don’t know what to say. I’m not sorry.
“That was amazing.” She places her palm against my cheek.
“It was wrong.” I start to release her, but her grip on me tightens.
“It was not wrong.”
“I crossed the line.” That fucking invisible line between professor and student. “Not only that, but we’ve both been drinking…”
“I’m not impaired, and consent is not an issue.” An edge is in her voice. “I want you to fuck me.”
Need flashes in my chest, and my barely sated lust for her flames back to life.
“I can’t do that.” I’ve got to grab the reins and be the adult here. “I’ve already done too much.”
“We’re both adults. Where I come from, that’s all that matters.”
“That’s never all that matters. I’m your professor. I’m in a position of trust.”
She hesitates, blinking into my eyes, then she steps to the side, out of the dominating cage of my arms. I drop them to my sides, and her lips curl into a knowing smile.
We restore our clothes, and she nods briefly, turning away from me towards the entrance to the alley.
“In that case, I’ll see you in class, professor.”
“Will you be able to sleep?”
“I don’t know.”
She takes that first step to leave me, and it aches not to stop her, not to take her in my arms and carry her to my bed, fuck her all night, and protect her from the nightmares.
Instead, I hold myself in place, focusing on my job, my reputation, my position. “When I can’t sleep, I watchThe Goblet of Fire.”
I don’t know why I say it, why I can’t just let her go.
“Good to know.” Her back is still turned, but she nods, walking away from me, leaving me scorched and raw inside.
I thought I was off-course when I came here, but now I can’t even find the fucking map. And standing here in this dim alley, watching the sway of her hips as she leaves me, remembering the sounds she makes when she comes for me, all I can think is when can I do it again?

Reanna
Energy floods my veins,and I’m buzzing with the anticipation of seeing him again.
It’s especially thrilling after weeks of building tension to have it all pay off so spectacularly in a dirty alley outside a college bar.
Oh, that alley. It was the perfect place to act out our forbidden desires. Heat floods my veins when I remember his hands desperately grasping between my legs, his filthy words as I took his dick in my mouth. We were hungry and raw, and I want to do it again. I want to do everything with him just as ferociously.
For years, I’ve been so focused on research and finding clues and getting revenge for my father’s murder. It’s nice to have some fun for a change, and Professor Dirk Winston isveryfun. Bonus? I slept like a baby when I got home.
Too bad the afterglow fades, because now I’m ready to go to his house and knock on his door. Preferably with as little clothing on as possible.
Ali is on a date with Ryan and said not to expect her home tonight, so I’m alone in the dorm, staring at my phone, tossing and turning in the bed and wondering why I don’t have his number. I could text him… I couldsexthim. Heat lights between my thighs, and I curse my lack of forethought.
Pulling out my tablet, I search forThe Goblet of Firemovie on a streaming app. He was so adorable worrying about my nightmares immediately after dominating me, fucking my face, then pushing me away. I’m definitely sick, because I kind of loved him for it.
Could it be possible we might have something once I’ve found my revenge? Could we build on the foundation we’ve laid here? Maybe he could see past the lies I’ve had to tell, the double-life I’ve had to live. Maybe he would like me for me.
