Page 4 of Claiming His Student

Dylan plays along, standing, and straightening his suit. “That would suit me perfectly, Cora...unless the Dean has an issue with that?”

I hold my breath. My Dad has always been a hot head and I know he won’t appreciate the way that Dylan has been speaking to him this morning. But my father trusts me. He doesn’t believe that I’d ever lie to him. Guilt rips at my heart as I realize I’ve chosen to back Dylan instead of my Dad. But I can’t let Dylan get into trouble. I can’t let him get fired before we’ve even had a chance to be together. My father eyes me suspiciously before turning back to Dylan.

“Very well. I suppose I should trust in your process. But I expect to see you teaching a real class when I come by next time.”

“Of course,” Dylan snaps, his eyes hard. “Whatever you say, sir.”

I stand to leave, grabbing my bag and stealing one last longing glance at Dylan. His eyes tell me that this isn’t over. He’s not going to let anything stop us from having our shot together. As I walk out of the room, I sense that my Dad is following me and I find myself preparing for an argument. I get the feeling that he didn’t believe my little act back there. He’s not stupid, after all, and he knows me well. I tend to be willing to do a lot to get what I want...I just never expected that it would mean turning against my father.

“What was really going on back there? Was Dylan being inappropriate?” Dad asks, falling into step with me. I sigh.

“No, Dad, I told you we were just having our first one on one meeting. It’s no big deal, he picked me because I was in the front row of the classroom. What’s wrong with you? Why do you always have to believe that people have some hidden agenda?”

“Because often, they do...especially when it comes to men.”

“Dad, please!” I cry out, my cheeks flushing red. “Your own sexism is astounding when you’re the Dean of a university. He was really helpful and there’s nothing going on that’s out of place.”

“Then tell me why you’re blushing.”

The comment only makes me turn redder, but I do my best to keep myself composed. I’ve never been the kind of girl who blushes and falls at people’s feet, but Dylan seems to have changed me in just a short amount of time. Now, I feel as though I’d do anything for him. It’s completely unlike me.

“I’m blushing because my Dad is trying to ask me embarrassing questions about my new professor! You’re going to make the rest of the semester so awkward for me if you carry on like this...now I have to go and get Penny for her one on one. Just because you’re the Dean and I’m your daughter it doesn’t mean you can just walk into my classes and do things like that...go and give a surprise check to someone else’s class.”

I begin to walk away, my heart pounding hard in my chest. I don’t like lying to him. I don’t like pretending that this thing with Dylan doesn't mean a thing, either. We may only have known each other for a few precious minutes, but I already know this thing is going to be something incredible. I know we’re going to go the distance… that is if my Dad doesn’t try to stand in my way.

“Stay away from him, Cora,” my father growls as I retreat. I close my eyes, trying to keep myself together.

One day with Dylan and I’m already coming undone.Dylan

As Cora and her father leave the room, I feel my hands clenching into fists. I can’t believe that she’s the Dean’s daughter. It’s just typical that the first time I come close to a woman I want something stands directly in my way. I’m not afraid of a challenge. I’m not afraid to fight for what I want, even if it means risking my position here at the university.

I know Cora is worth it. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I had to make her mine. She’s awoken a beast inside me, she’s made me want to sweep her up and claim her as my own. If only her father hadn’t walked in...we’d probably be fucking right now, my cock buried deep inside her, my seed itching to bury inside her and find her womb.

But now that I know who she is, I know this is going to be much harder than I thought. He’s going to do everything he can to come between us. That much is obvious. He must’ve noticed the chemistry between me and Cora when he walked into the room. But I’m not stopping for anything. He can try all he wants, but he won’t stand in the way of me making her mine. No other woman will do. She’s the only one who can bring me to life. She’s the only one who can make my heart leap and my animalistic instincts go wild. I’ve waited all this time for her. And no man will ever stop me from having her now.
