He raised his left eyebrow skeptically. "But I do find it easy to fall asleep next to you. You're the only person that seems to be able to make me relax." His hand slipped down my back and he grabbed my ass.
I laughed. "Melissa is going to be back soon."
"Did you want me to stay and introduce myself?"
"I don't really want you to leave, but I think it's better if I tell Melissa alone."
"Are you kicking me out?" He had a playful grin on his face.
"It's nothing personal."
He placed a kiss on the tip of my nose and got up. I loved seeing him standing naked in my dorm room. After bumping into him in the coffee shop, I never would have thought I'd ever see him again, let alone date him. He pulled on his boxers and pants. When he put on his shirt, I got up and slowly buttoned it for him. He smiled as he watched me. After buttoning one of the last buttons, I pulled his collar and brought his lips to mine.
"You're making it hard for me to leave," he said after a soft kiss.
I laughed and let go of his collar. I quickly dressed as Professor Hunter laced his shoes. Once his tie was tied, he looked around my room again. He eyed the roses in the trash.
"Not a fan of roses?"
"Oh I am. It was just that a domineering professor gave them to me. Or else I would have loved them."
Professor Hunter laughed. "Before I leave, let me see your phone."
My cell phone was still sitting on my desk. I grabbed it and handed it to him. He typed in something and handed it back to me. I looked down and saw that he had changed his contact name to James.
"I thought I wasn't supposed to call you James in private?"
"Apparently your phone isn't private."
I bit my lip. So he was mad. He rubbed his thumb along my lower lip and gave me a small smile.
"My girlfriends usually call me James."
"That makes it sound like you have more than one girlfriend right now. Am I one of several?"
"Dozens."
I nudged his shoulder with my hand.
"No, just you, Penny." He grabbed his suit jacket and draped it over his shoulder. "Let me know how your conversation with Melissa goes."
"I will." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again. "I'll text you later, James."
Temptation - Chapter 47
Monday
Melissa came in the door with two bags. She kicked the door closed with her foot and put her backpack on the ground.
"Hey, Melissa."
"Hey! Wow, you look a lot better, Penny. Did you take a nap or something?"
"Yeah," I sighed. "And I do feel a lot better."
"Okay, this one is yours." She tossed me one of the bags as she sat down beside me on my bed.
"Thanks for picking up dinner." I opened up the container and snapped my chopsticks apart.
