“I think Madeline can make anything seem right.” Jake shot me a look. We were both thinking of yesterday afternoon. It had been crazy. Hot, erotic, and insane.
“What time frame did you put on that contract?” I asked him. He usually drew up all the agreements. He had a way with the lawyers and words that went over my head sometimes.
Just last year, a company we invested in tried to come after us for breach of contract and Jake shot them down before they could even call a lawyer. So, I started leaving everything to him.
“Fifteen weeks.” He replied, sipping his drink.
He leaned against his desk. He had gone casual today too, though it was Saturday after all. I was the only professor that opened their office on weekends, hence the long line.
“Do you think she’ll stay?” I asked the looming question.
“Fuck, I don’t know. Yesterday was fucking amazing, but I doubt she is falling head over heels for us. At the end of the day, she is in college. She is young, probably just wanting to experiment.” I never took him to be the realist in this situation.
“Well, it was one hell of an experiment if that’s the case.” I shook my head. I traced the brim of the glass as I thought.
“Let’s just go over this contract, and then figure out how we’ll present it to her.”
“I don’t think that will be a problem. She can be professional when she needs to be.”
It was probably what drew me to her most. She was very intelligent and serious about her future, and eager to learn from us. Of course I would teach her as long as she wanted me to.
“What if this comes back to bite us? I mean, she could take this company international once this is up.” Jake said.
“Yeah, but we still have a hefty number of shares. That’s why I think it’s important to…get on her good side.”
“I think we are already on all of her good sides, man.” He arched a brow and I chuckled at the thought.
I don’t think I could ever stop thinking about her that way.
“You never know. Let’s just look this over.”
We spent the next hour going over the contract. We were sure not to leave any stones unturned, as always. We didn’t want any complications ensuing, or any lawsuits. I was still worried about being a professor and sleeping with a student. Bottom line was she wasn’t my student, and it was never a rule. Just frowned upon for the reputations of everyone involved. It could taint me, but I would find my way out of it. But it would destroy her.
These people in the business world, they are sharks. And they look for the easiest way to draw blood.
Somehow, I had to make sure, they wouldn’t touch her.

Madeline
Senior principles of business was the last nail in the coffin to being a business major. And I hated it.
The entire class was a collection of soul wrenching group projects. No one wanted to do any of the work, they were all too busy partying to keep up with anything. I was lucky two people dropped the course and it left us with an uneven number, so I got to work alone.
Sure, I could have split work with a group of two other people but I would probably just end up doing it myself. So I am. I didn’t mind it though, since there is a part of me that likes to be in control. Luckily, I doubled the final as the same proposal I gave to Jake and Logan. Speaking of…
I was slumped in the seat because my back and thighs were sore. Even my abs, as if I had done a full body workout. I might as well have.
There was a time when I would have freaked if I even thought of the possibility of what I did last night. I lived a boring life. I went through the awkward phase in high school, of fondling and wading through relationships in school. I had two boyfriends in high school. The first was my sophomore year and he was my first kiss, and first date. He was sweet, and nice but there was nothing there. I went out with him because everyone in my friend group had someone, and he asked me out. There was no real reason to turn him down. He was ‘high-school’ cute, I imagine he looks much better now. But then homecoming came about and we went together, but I realized there was nothing tying me to him. I think we lasted seven months though, but not through the summer.
Then senior year came and I dated a starting linebacker for the football team. It didn’t seem that important, but in Texas, it was. Which is where I grew up. But he was muscular and hard and he made my heart flutter. I kept telling myself I was in love with him. After three months of dating, I lost my virginity to him and made the mistake of telling him I loved him. He dumped me a week later.
That was it until now. I wouldn’t call Jake or Logan my boyfriend, but the way they took me in the restaurant made me feel like I belonged to them.
At first, I could barely remember it, when I first got home. Being in the restaurant, squished between t
heir thighs as Jake held me in place, and Logan masterfully played me with his fingers wasn’t far back in my head. But I was near climax, in a public place, and it scared and thrilled me all at the same time. I deftly recall finishing lunch, which I barely ate because my stomach was in severe knots, and then climbing into their limo.
