She shakes her head. “We’re forbidden. You’re my professor and stepbrother.”

I lick the shell of her ear, my finger moving in and out of her. “You’re my gorgeous and feisty student and stepsister.” I slide another finger inside her. “The one who drives me crazy. Pushes all my buttons, yet makes my dick harder than it’s ever been.”

I kiss her neck, feeling her tremble beneath me as she struggles against the urge to give in. “You have no idea how much I wanna pound you deep into the mattress as you cream all over my cock.”

“It's wrong.” Her voice is weak, with barely any fight left in it.

My body shakes from trying to hang onto a tiny shred of restraint. This fucking woman makes me insane, snapping every thread of my sanity until I’m a shell of who I usually am—a man who’s always in control.

“How can anything that feels like this be wrong?” Her pussy is so fucking wet it makes me crazy. “Your tight, soaked pussy wants me. You can try and deny it all you want, but…” I shove my fingers deep inside her, then pull them out, moving them in front of her face so she can see the evidence of her arousal. “This is proof, Lexi.”

Humiliation is on her face as her gaze moves from my fingers to my face.

I adjust her panties, then get up. “Come on. Let’s eat dinner and then get a coffee. How’s the studying coming along?”

She rolls over, staring at me in astonishment. “That’s it?”

“You wanna suck my cock? Fuck?”

“No.” She wraps her arms around herself. “I just can’t believe you’re giving up already.”

I lean down, my finger beneath her chin, tilting it up to mine. “I’m not giving up shit, Lexi. I’m giving you a chance to eat and have coffee with me. But if you’d rather have me pound you into the mattress?—”

“No.” She jumps up from the bed, grabs her plate and water, and says, “Let’s go eat dinner.”

I grin as I follow her from the room. Her happiness makes me feel lighter. There’s a nagging feeling in my gut, but I don’t question it.

Tonight, I’m just going with the flow.

“How’s Biology going?”

Lexi pauses, a strange look contorting her face before she waves her fork in the air. “Fine. There’s been an instructor change, though. Instead of Dr. Jameson, it’s being taught by Professor Huntley.”

Every muscle in my body tenses as my vision turns red.Huntley? What the fuck?

“When did you find this out?” I snap, trying to control my rage but failing.

Lexi raises her brows but lets it slide.“This afternoon, when I had lunch with Sophia. She has that class as well. I asked if she’d seen the change.”

My blood boils.What is that son of a bitch up to?

It’s no secret that Huntley and I are enemies, although Lexi likely has no idea of our feud, which has been going on since my freshman year at Stone Ridge University.

Huntley and I have gotten into fistfights multiple times. The last one occurred at a party by the lake. His tramp of the week started hitting on me. Although I wasn’t interested in her, getting under his skin was fun. All I had to do was show her attention, and she lapped it up like a starving animal.

In retaliation, Huntley made a nasty comment about my dead mother.

You don’t say shit about my mother. Huntley knew that and decided to roll the dice.

I beat the shit out of him. It was so bad that Huntley was hospitalized.

Luckily, my last name saved me. My father enlisted the help of his friends in law enforcement, or I would’ve been in serious trouble.

“What did Sophia say about him?” My hand is curled around my glass so hard I’m surprised I haven’t broken it, sending shards everywhere.

Lexi raises her brows. “Nothing positive. He’s young and arrogant and enjoyed making students cry when he was a TA for Dr. Jameson. She said he offers to help pretty, struggling female students during his office hours, but instead of tutoring them in Biology, he’d coerce them into giving him head.”

I nod. “She’s not wrong. Stay away from him.” My gaze bores into hers. “I mean it.”
