Page 7 of Claiming His Student

And that’s why I’m here after hours, pretending that I’m here to work late, but there’s a cheese plate set out and a bottle of wine just begging to be devoured. I don’t want her to think I’m making assumptions about what’s going to happen here tonight, but I also want her to know that this isn’t just some study session. This is a date. If she doesn’t like that and chooses to walk away, then I guess I’ll have to accept her decision. But if she shows up after the email I sent, then I think she must be on the same page I am. After all, when else would a student turn up to their place of study so late at night.

I hear the sound of footsteps in the corridor and my cock surges in my pants. I just know it’s her. As she peers her head around the corner, I stand. Every possessive bone in my body is desperate to just grab her and take her right here and now, but I need to be a gentleman. I want her to know that she’s safe with me.

“Cora,” I growl. Her pretty round cheeks blush at the sight of me and I know she’s feeling the same connection I do. I move toward her and take her hand.

“Let’s take a seat.”

She lets me guide her to the same place we sat together earlier today at the front of the class. She eyes up the cheese plate I’ve made and the wine and blushes even more.

“This is really nice. I’ve never had someone do something like this for me before.”

“A beautiful woman like you deserves much more than what I’m offering tonight,” I growl. “I want to take you out for real, Cora. I just don’t want to get you into trouble.”

She nods. “My Dad...he’s very protective of me. I’m sorry if he gave you a hard time before.”

“I can handle him,” I say. “But I’m not going to let him stand in our way. I can understand his concerns, but I’ll never hurt you, Cora. All I want is to be good to you.” I lean in closer to her and my hand finds her waist. She gasps at the contact, but she doesn't flinch away. So close like this, our hearts racing, we can almost kid ourselves that we’re the only two people in the world.

“Why me?” she whispers.

“I can’t explain it. But the moment I saw you, I knew. You’re a beautiful woman and your intelligence is clear from a mile off...and I can’t deny the way my body reacted to you. You’ve changed me, Cora. I’ve never wanted a woman the way I want you. I don’t think there’s anyone like you in this world. I just knew when I saw you sitting in the front row of my class that you were meant to be mine. I want you...and I’m used to getting what I want.”

“Even if there are obstacles?” Cora asks me, her eyes wide. “People are never going to let us just be. They’ll see the age gap between us...they’ll see that you’re supposed to be my superior...my teacher. We’re not supposed to be doing this.”

“But rules are made to be broken,” I growl. “I don’t care how many I have to break to be with you. I’d sacrifice anything and everything to get a chance at being with you. If I lose this job, at least I’ll have you. If things don’t work out then at least I got my shot with you. That’s all I want, Cora...a shot at being your man.”

She’s breathing hard, staring into my eyes. Her heavy breasts heaving as she takes in what I’ve said and I can’t take this tension anymore longer. With our bodies so close together, I can feel the urgency of how much I need her. I grab her face in my hands, a growl forming in the back of my throat.

“Dylan…” she breathes. It’s the last straw for me, hearing her say my name in that breathy voice. I can’t hold back for another second. Desire floods my body.

I have to kiss her.Chapter FourCoraHis lips crash down against mine and we kiss hungrily for the first time. I’ve never been kissed in my life, but I know that it doesn’t get better than this. There’s so much heat between us, so much passion in the movement of our lips that I feel wetness flood between my legs. I want this so badly. I want him with every fiber of my being.

His hands grab my curvy waist and pull me closer to him. He doesn’t seem to mind that my hips are wide and that I’m not stick thin. In fact, as I hear the growl coming from his throat, it occurs to me that my body turns him on. A lot.
