“I understand,” she says with a smug expression.
She’s blocking the door, so I can’t quite leave. I’m just standing here, awkwardly staring at her with my bag slung over my shoulder.
“He’s just taken a real interest in you,” she adds. Her gaze drifts downward to my stomach and then back up to my face. “I assumed it was just because he wanted you in our department. Because you’re so bright, of course.”
Is she…insinuating something?
“I should get to class,” I mumble under my breath as I pass her by to get to the door. But as my shoulder breezes past hers, she touches my arm.
“A scandal would ruin his chances for that program,” she says under her breath.
There’s a lump caught in my throat as I side-eye her. “He’s already in the program.”
“He’s been accepted, Miss Green. He’s not in it yet. And losing it would devastate him, so please…be careful.”
Her tone sounds sincere, but what she’s implying is that I will be the reason Luke’s dreams are crushed. She has no idea how much turmoil I’m already in. So I clench my jaw and turn to stare at her.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I mutter.
“Good. I think you should keep it that way.”
She leaves my side and walks to the bathroom stall, her heels clicking against the floor as she walks. I storm out of the bathroom, fuming from the conversation. I’m tempted to just leave campus now and ditch the rest of the school day, but Luke drove, and if I don’t show up, he’ll worry.
So I walk into class and take my seat at the side of the room. He’s already unpacking his things. His gaze finds me, and he gives a subtle wink that no one is paying enough attention yet to see.
I can’t help the smirk on my face, but I can’t get that conversation with the professor out of my head. If people suspect, does that mean the administration does too? Will I be the reason Luke’s dreams fall apart?
Resting my elbow on my desk, I stare at him as he discusses something with another student.
If I were a good person, I’d step aside and ensure that Lucas doesn’t lose his internship. If I were a good person, I’d spend more of my energy working things out with Jax rather than pursuing a passionate fling with my English professor.
But as he smiles at me again, I can’t help but wonder…am I really a good person at all?
Twenty-Eight
Lucas
Ican’t take my eyes off Sadie for the entire class. Finals are this week, and we should be focusing on that, but I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful her moans were in my ear last night as I fucked her.
God, I can’t wait to be inside her again.
How the fuck am I going to live without this for a whole year while I’m in England? No one will compare. Not only has this woman flipped my life on its head, but she’s also ruined sex for me.
As the students file out at the end of class, a few stay behind to discuss their essay grades, but Sadie lingers around as if she’s also waiting to talk to me. It takes forever, no matter how I try to rush through each discussion.
Finally, as the last one leaves, I turn my feral gaze on her as she stands with her ass pressed against her desk.
“Get down here,” I say in a hungry command.
She glances at the door. “I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”
“I don’t care. I gave you an order,” I say with a smug smirk on my face. I can’t seem to keep my smile away these days.
She tilts her head to the side, narrowing her eyes as she deliberates her next move.
“Fine,” I reply. “I’ll come to you.”
I take the steps up to where she’s standing next to her desk, and once I’m stationed in front of her, she backs up and grips the surface as she gazes into my eyes. “You’ll lose your job if anyone catches us, Dr. Goode,” she says.
