Page 61 of The Professor's Possession (Crystal River Billionaire Brothers)

And why do I entertain his desire? Why do I keep tempting him?

Why do I let him have this hold over me?

“There was only one reason I was there,” my professor says eventually, his voice barely a whisper.

“Why?” I ask, a tiny bit frightened to find out the answer.

He turns his head toward me.

“For you.”

He says it as if it’s a cut-and-dried fact. As simple as him delivering a note in one of his lectures.

But the two words shoot through me like flaming arrows.

And I don’t have anything to say to that.

For me.

A complete and utter silence falls upon us, even worse than the one just moments ago. It lasts all the way until we reach my dorm building. The professor pulls up alongside the sidewalk outside where I live and looks at me with that emblematically possessive stare of his.

I can’t bear it.

I feel like I’m on fire. And I don’t know if it is out of fear or excitable pleasure.

“Bye,” I squeak out behind me as I jump out of the car.

The professor doesn’t say a word.

I scramble to the front doors of my dorm building. I turn around before I dare enter.

And he hasn’t left.

He’s waiting for me to go home. He wants to see me step safely inside the building.

And he doesn’t go until I pull open the doors.

A chill runs through me.

And I realize that I am so incredibly horny.

OLIVIA

It was only meantto be Ava and me today, but Luke joins us. Against my wishes. Ava and I had made plans on how we were going to spend the day together: having lunch and going through coursework in the library, until Luke decided to show up and ruin things. I attempt my best to hide my disappointment when the former quarterback sidles up to us on the way into the main college building with that typical annoying smirk on his face. He pats Ava on the ass sexually in a deliberate theatrical style so that there’s no way I can’t notice.

He really wants to rub me the wrong way.

Ava, though, is happy to see her boyfriend.

“Hey, Luke,” I say. I amreallytrying to disguise my apprehension about him. Not for his sake, but for Ava’s. Even though I will never get on with the dude, I don’t want to hurt my best friend.

Luke’s little eyes roll at me as I greet him. Very polite. Being so close to him, Ava doesn’t spot his jab in my direction.

“Olivia. Hope you’re having awonderfulday.”

“Play nice you two,” Ava says.
