Page 17 of One Night With My Grumpy Professor Daddy

Oh, so close.

When she speaks again, her voice tickles my ear, sending chills straight to my cock. “I just want you to know that you’re stuck with me regardless.”

When her finger reaches my abdomen, she slowly looks down at the unmistakable outline of my bulge.

This woman.

“I’ll send you an email—see you on Monday, Sir.” She turns and saunters away while I toy with the idea of bending her over right here to teach her a good lesson.

When she reaches the door, she calls out. “Have a great day, Professor Armstrong.” She slams the door on her way out. But those words, ‘You’re stuck with me.’

ring louder.

Chapter nine

Ava

“Dammit! I’m going to be late for class!” My first thought when I jolt awake.

I slept late because I spent all night going back and forth about the conversation Professor Armstrong and I had. I can't believe he messed with my head like that. I tossed all night, replaying that scene in his office. He could have had me anyway he wanted yesterday. …I mean…with the fire he lit in me, I would’ve got on my knees in a hot minute. I shake, clearing the images in my head.

“Ava! Focus!”

I hop out of bed, skip breakfast and hurry across campus, praying that I make it in time for class.

“The Theory of Free Will…” Professor Armstrong is saying just as I sneak into the lecture hall, hoping to go unnoticed. “Now, the concept of free will postulates that an individual can make choices for oneself about how they act, make speculations, and have viewpoints in different facets of life. Although, some don’t believe in free will. They believe in determinism, which postulates that all events, including human actions, are influenced by previous causes.”

He stands at the podium and continues, “The question of the day, however, is whether free will is a farce. Do we really have free will, or are we made to think we have free will? Do you believe your choice is really your choice? So, are your choices undetermined by preceding events or what some would call fate or not? If an event has occurred in the past, don’t you think the said event is likely to occur again? What do you think?”

“I don’t think it has anything to do with it,” I mumble to myself.

“What was that, Miss Ava?” Professor Armstrong says. I snap my head toward the front of the class. I don’t think I said that out loud. Did he read my lips or my thoughts?

“I’d like to hear what you think, so please go ahead… share your thoughts with the rest of the class.”

He blinks expectantly, and I clear my throat, trying to think of an answer. So much for going unnoticed. Could he be trying to get me back for yesterday? Is this his way of showing who’s really in control?

“I said that our past choices or actions do not influence our present decision.”

“That’s interesting, Miss Ava. Do you have a reason why you believe this? Maybe an example to back up your answer?”

I grit my teeth…If this is payback, he clearly has the upper hand here. “I just think that because something happened in the past doesn’t mean it’ll happen again. We’re humans and we make our own choices, regardless of what’s happening or what’s influencing it. Ultimately, our choice remains our choice, and that’s free will.”

“Thank you for the contribution.?” I sigh in relief, thinking it’s over, when his voice rings out again. “So, do you have an example to support your answer?”

OK, he’s definitely screwing with me, and I’m not having it. I already told him I don’t care about our history; I just want to keep my head down, get my degree and start my new life. But I can’t if he does things like refusing to be my supervisor and calling me out in class.

“Miss Ava?”

He calls again. I look him dead in the eye and spit. “For example, just because I had sex with a guy doesn’t mean I would want to have sex with him in the future.”

The class ripples with laughter and whispers.

I raise a challenging brow at him.

There, Professor Armstrong, I hope you’re happy now.

When the class quiets down, he continues. “So, you’re saying if you enjoyed the… experience, have nothing holding you back, and are put in the same situation, you wouldn’t consider a repeat?”
