Page 134 of The Professor's Possession (Crystal River Billionaire Brothers)

It’s not surprising; I would also be shocked if I walked in on my roommate and her older professor naked.

I put on my own clothes, feeling my cheeks redden.

I can’t believe this is happening.

And then Spencer goes, leaving Ava and me alone.

She turns back to me.

I can’t believe my roommate saw that.

We just stare at each other for a moment before she decides to speak.

“Olivia, I am so confused...”

“Ava...”

“He’s Spencer Penmayne,” she mutters in disbelief. “He’s yourprofessor.”

I raise my hands. “It’s all consensual if that’s what you’re worried about.”

“How long?” she asks.

“What?”

“How long hasthisbeen... going on?”

“A long time. Please, Ava, please keep this to yourself.”

“A long time?Wow. And you kept all this a secret from me?”

“It’s not about you,” I reply. “We kept it a secret from everybody. If people found out... especially the university...”

“So, it’s serious, then?” Ava asks. “Between you two? What I just saw?”

“I think so.”

“It’s... I can’t...”

“Please, Ava.”

“Are you happy with him?” she asks me.

I shrug my shoulders. “Things were rocky at the start. But yes. I am happy with him.”

“Wow.”

Ava takes a seat on the bench. She looks upset. Really upset.

Has this really brought her close to tears?

“What’s wrong, Ava?” I ask her. “I’m sorry that you’ve walked in like this. I want you to know how embarrassing...”

“It’s not this,” she explains quietly. “I don’t really care for what you do with your professor. I’m happy for you, especially if you’re happy.”

I tentatively take a seat next to her. I’m now as confused as she was.

“Then what is it?” I ask.
