“You shouldn’t be stressing on the first day back. Forget anything Mr. Harker might have told you. You don’t need to try and read five books before tomorrow,” Dad says with a roll of his eyes. I scowl.

“No, I don’t, because I already did all of the required reading.”

“Then what can you possibly have to worry about on the first day back? You don’t have exams until the end of the year and your coursework isn’t due until Christmas. Relax.”

I wish I could relax, but it’s hard when I can’t even talk to someone about what’s bothering me. The one thing that would relax me right now is being able to see Dylan and explore what’s happening between us. There’s so much I want to do, so much I want to find out about him...but until our next class, I guess he’s off limits to me.

My phone chimes and I sigh. I’m not in the mood to speak to any of my friends right now. I bet they’ll want to talk about our new professor and the last thing I need is to try and muster up some fake commentary on how I feel about him.

But it’s none of my friends when I check my phone. It’s an email on my student account. My heart begins to beat faster. Could it be…

I open the email and I almost gasp out loud. It’s him. It’s Dylan. And this isn’t a group email for the class. It’s just for me.

Cora,

I need to see you. Get away from home if you can and meet me in the classroom. We can talk properly when we can guarantee we’re going to be alone.

Dylan

I feel a little sick with nerves. This is exactly what I wanted, and yet I don’t know if I have the courage to go there. What will I tell my father? How am I supposed to make up an excuse this late at night to get away? The clock says eight thirty and it’s rare I go anywhere after classes have finished unless it’s been pre-planned.

But I have to get to that classroom. I need to get this time alone with Dylan or I’ll never forgive myself for letting this opportunity pass me by. I stand up suddenly in my chair, breathing hard and hoping an excuse will come to me.

“Cora? Where are you going? We’re in the middle of dinner,” my Dad says with a scowl. I swallow.

“Sorry, Dad. I have somewhere to be. Penny...she needs help summarizing her notes on Lolita before our class tomorrow...I forgot that I promised to help her out. She’s waiting for me.”

“And she can’t wait until you’ve finished your dinner?”

I shake my head. Dad sighs and shakes his head.

“Alright. Take the car. But be home by midnight. I can’t exactly be a good Dean if I let my daughter stay out late the night before her classes.”

I nod, but I’m already rushing for the door before he finishes his sentence. He calls something after me, but I don’t even hear as I grab the keys and head out the door. I have to get out of here before he tries to change his mind.

As I drive over to the university, my hands are shaking and my heart is racing. Part of me can’t wait for this moment, but another part of me is terrified. What if he’s changed his mind about me? What if I can’t think of a word to say and he thinks I’m boring? I know that this is my one chance to impress him, and there’s a lot of pressure, but there is another part of me, deep inside, that’s saying this is meant to be. Dylan and I were meant to meet today. We’re going to click just like we did before in the classroom. We’re going to go the distance.

As I pull up at the school, my fear subsides a little. I’ve got this. I head inside, my head held high in confidence. I want to show him that I’m not afraid to jump in headfirst. I’m not some scared little girl.

I’m the woman of his dreams.Dylan

Sending the email was a risky move. I know that the Dean has the power to read any of the emails we send from our work email address. I know he might catch me anyway since it’s his daughter I’m asking to meet me at school in the dead of night.

But I have to try. Since I met her today, my cock has been rock hard and throbbing for her. I’ve been unable to think of anything, but her. Waiting around to see if she’ll show up has been torture like no other, but I have to give it a go. Waiting until tomorrow isn’t an option. The animal inside me is urgent, desperate for her. I need to rip her clothes off her body and take her like they did back in the prehistoric era with free abandon. I’d fuck her any time, anywhere. She’s driven me crazy in the short time I’ve known her. I need to make her body mine.
