“Call me Professor Bianchi.” Gio’s raspy voice vibrates against my clit sending a shiver through my pussy.

“Professor Bianchi, make me come.” And that’s all it takes, Gio sucks at my clit almost painfully as a third finger enters me, and I feel so stretched. It’s bliss. A pleasure wave washes over me, and I ride every single bit of it.

“That was an A-plus performance,” I say, trying to catch my breath. He chuckles, tickling my clit, nearly giving me a second orgasm.

Chapter 16

Gio Bianchi

This past month has been torture being with Ruin in the same classroom and not being able to be near her. I should have thought about this with my actual head, but I was dying to spend time with her and those couple of days in Corolla were incredible. Our chemistry has been off the charts, and kissing her and making her come was bound to happen. Ever since I tasted her, I’ve been addicted—her nectar is sweet and spicy, a combination that drives me out of my mind.

We’ve been spending every free moment we can together. Even though it hasn’t been a lot, between her class workload and my preparation for my dissertation defense, submitting my paper, and keeping up with teaching, there’s not much free time left. But we’ve made the best of it. She’s spent a couple of nights at my place, and we’ve been practicing, but we haven’t done the deed. I feel like if I’m this far gone only tasting her, the moment I make her mine, I will no longer be able to pretend she’s just my student. Because the truth is, Ruin has become my everything.

I’m graduating tomorrow, and my family is expected to arrive tonight. I’m thrilled they all are coming—my siblings, Karina, my sister-in-law, and her siblings. I wish I could introduce them to Ruin, but I don’t want to tempt the devil when we are so close to being officially able to date in public. Just one more week before I turn in the lab grades, and I’ll make her mine.Mine.

My phone vibrates with an incoming call, and it can only be one person.

“Hello?”

“Boludo, are you picking us up, or do we need to get an Uber? We’ve been on this damn plane for eight hours— my ass is fucking flat,” Luca says in an exasperated tone, and I cackle at his theatrics.

“Calm down, Luca. I’m waiting for you guys in my hangar. I think it’d be good exercise for your ass to walk here.”

“Yeah, yeah. What number is it again?”

“Three.”

“Okay, we’ll be there in a minute.”

I pocket my phone as I make my way out of the lobby toward my Range Rover. I haven’t seen my siblings in months, and I’m so happy they were able to make it.

“Gio!” Isa squeals as she runs toward me, arms wide open. I grab her midair and turn around with her. I can’t believe she’s graduating next year.

“Hey, little sis, how are you?”

“Great, so excited to be here. But it’s freezing. Can we go to your place now?” she says between chattering teeth, and I chuckle. It’s summer back in Chile, but here, winter hasn’t even started yet. I hug and kiss Karina on her cheek next, then my brother Luca tries to lift me but complains I’ve gained weight—the bastard.

“Where are Vicente and Gabo?” I ask as I start driving toward home.

“In New York,” Karina says in a sharp tone. I can tell she’s not happy about it.

“How come?” I ask as Luca shakes his head no.

“Oh well, let’s see. Raleigh isn’t big enough for their big, fat egos. They said they couldn’t find a ‘good enough’ hotel for the night, so they’ll be flying in the morning before the ceremony.” I press my lips together, trying not to say anything that can make Karina more upset at her siblings, but Isa doesn’t catch the vibe and opens her mouth.

“Oh, so they both said that? Because it sounds to me like Vicente is calling the shots.” I hear Luca take in a breath through his teeth, and Karina transforms in the back seat.

“Of course, it was Vicente who had the brilliant idea. He even suggested we all spend the night in NYC, but no—Luca is a good brother and decided to spend time with his siblings. Mine? No, I don’t matter to them. I’m sure they’re partying the night away at some gentleman’s club.”

I grip the steering wheel tightly, I really want to laugh at Karina’s outburst, but I know I’d only make things worse.

“Well, at least you have us, Kari. You’re a Bianchi, and we love you.” My sister turns around to look Karina in the eyes.

“That’s so sweet, Isa. I love you guys, too, but yeah, it stinks that my brothers didn’t stay here.”

“But hey, aren’t we all spending Christmas together? That’s in just a couple of weeks,” I say, trying to cheer her up.

“You’re right. I’m just being a spoiled brat. It’s your brother’s fault.” We all explode in laughter as Luca tries and fails to defend himself. He spoils her rotten.
