Celeste, who was doing her makeup in the bathroom, poked her head out and screamed the lyrics, using her makeup brush as a microphone. My laugh melted into the song, and I couldn’t help but move to the rhythm.

Daisy, with a curling rod in her hair, jumped on my bed, dancing to the beat and soon I joined her.

Solace was sitting on the floor, in front of my full length mirror, applying the final touches of her makeup before her chuckle filled the room.

The annual Halloween party at Midnight Inferno had everyone beaming with glee. After my moment with ProfessorHandsin his classroom, I found my girls for a distraction and soon enough, we wrapped up the car wash.

My mom slipped into my bedroom with apologies and laid down the food she had graciously prepared for us. Solace smacked a loud kiss to her cheek and she chuckled, reminding us to behave, be safe, and be responsible before dipping back out.

Sneakily, Celeste tiptoed to her bag that sat on my dresser and reached inside, whipping out a bottle of tequila. My eyes nearly bulged out of my head and Solace smirked, rushing to her bag as well where she lifted a bottle of Vodka into the air.

“Oh my God,” I chuckled, plopping onto my bed before sliding off and standing on my feet.

Daisy appeared at my side with four shot glasses, taking me aback.I knew right then and there that not only were we going to have fun tonight, but some questionable choices would be made. Exhibit A: Being alone in a room with Logan Hale. My professor.

I stood with my back to the door, and when it slowly opened, the light from the hallway lit up the dark room.

Solace had booked this VIP room for herself andsomeoneshe refused to give up, but when I asked if I could use it instead, she was more than happy since the guy she invited hadn’t showed up.

I spun around, holding both hands behind my back as I watched Professor Hale step into the room.

“Soobedient,” I taunted, stepping closer to him and he closed the door behind himself. Professor Hale, dressed in black pants and a black t-shirt that hugged his perfectly sculpted broad shoulders and large chest, exuded dominance.

He didn’t waste a second and with three strides he was in front of me. “You don’t know what you’re doing.” His words felt like a warning, but when his fresh scent slipped into my nose, the rational part of my brain disintegrated.

“Yeah?” I asked, placing both my hands on his chest, slowly dragging them down and stopping by his belt. “Maybe I do,” I whispered, my eyes trailing from his lips to his lethal eyes. I lifted myself to my toes, bringing my lips mere inches from his. “You’re just so much fun to play with,” I whispered, flicking his lips with my tongue.

His body tensed underneath my fingertips, both hands balling into tight fists.Is someone trying to resist me?

I traced my lips down his jaw, stopping at his ear. “Don’t you want to play with me?” I asked, licking the shell of his ear and he grabbed a fistful of my hair, tugging my head back— forcing me to look up at him and a sound of desperation slipped from his lips.

“Dakota—”

“Logan,” I mocked, plastering a playful frown on my face. “You want me just as badly as I want you.”

His fingers in my hair tightened and I winced, feeling the pulse in my neck creep between my legs. My fists balled at my side, and in my attempt to slowly squeeze my thighs together, his eyes snapped down.Shit.

I was aware that this probably wouldn’t end well. And maybe I shouldn’t be tempting him… my professor.

But I couldn’t resist. And neither could he.

A devilish gleam lit up his eyes. “I haven’t even touched you yet,” he lowered his voice to a taunt, stepping closer until his sturdy body pressed against mine. Then, his soft lips brushed the crease of my neck, and finally my ear. “Does your needy little cunt want my attention?”

I whimpered, my knees buckling beneath him. The thin strap of my thong between my thighs was soaked with my arousal and heat crept up my neck.Sick, Dakota. So goddamn sick.

I fought back a groan when he gave my hair a slight tug. “Answer me.”

I nodded, but his head tilted to the right in disapproval. “Yes,sir,” I blurted out, correcting myself.

He leaned in and with heavy eyelids, I felt him press soft kisses below my ear, allowing his lips to travel up my jaw. The minute his lips crashed to mine, a moan slipped from my throat.

My entire body melted into him, allowing him to mold me to his liking and dominate the kiss. He took full control. And I fucking let him.

The throbbing between my thighs intensified, so I pushed my chest to his, desperate to feel him against me.

“Hands behind your back,” he breathed against my lips before our tongues danced to a sultry rhythm.

I obeyed with weak knees.
