open the door to find him standing with his hands in his jean pockets. He’s wearing a Beacon University sweatshirt and he looks young; more like a student than a professor. I remain in the doorway, blocking him from entering.
“Shelby, can I please come in?” He asks in a much nicer tone than he used previously. I step back and gesture with my arm for him to enter. I’m going to need more wine to get through this, it’s only polite if I offer him some too.
“Would you like some wine or a beer?”
“I’d love a beer . ”
“Have a seat,” I say tipping my head in the direction of our living room. As I open the refrigerator and feel the cold air, it occurs to me, that I’m only wearing a white camisole and Red Sox drawstring pajama bottoms. My nipples are clearly visible through my top but there’s not much I can do about it now. All I can do is hope that he says his peace and gets out of here soon.
He’s seated in the middle of the couch so no matter where I sit, he’ll be next to me. Great. I hand him his beer and pick up my wine glass, refilling it before I lower myself to the cushion next to him.
“So what brings you to my neck of the woods at this time of night, Professor?” I raise an eyebrow at him in question before drinking a gulp of my wine. I need all the fortitude I can get.
“Call me Garrett, we’re not at school now. I asked you to stay after class today and you didn’t.” He shrugs his shoulders like it should be obvious to me, before taking a sip of beer from his bottle.
“Do you make late night visits to the apartments of every student that doesn’t do what you want or am I just lucky?” I ask, in a sarcastic tone of voice.
“Shelby, I think you know the answer to that question. This is the first time I’ve done anything like this. Why didn’t you stay after class? If you had, we could’ve avoided all this.” I take another sip of my wine and gather my thoughts before answering. I place my glass down on the coffee table, to delay answering. I decide to be blunt about the reason, so he can’t misconstrue what I’m saying.
“I didn’t wait around because I don’t want to be near you. I’m trying to keep my distance and I really wish you’d cooperate with me. We need to stay away from each other and it’s much easier to do that if we’re not alone at any time. Garrett, we’re on the verge of crossing lines that can’t be uncrossed. I’ve worked too hard to put my future in jeopardy over some hot sex. I can get that anywhere.” He takes another long sip from his bottle before carefully placing it down on the coffee table. He angles his body to face mine, gripping both of my hips in his hands and pulling me into his lap as if I’m light as a feather. I gasp in surprise and before I can push off of his chest, he’s covered my mouth with his. His tongue pushes past my lips, demandingly as his hands grip both sides of my head, holding me in place. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me as I realize there’s no way to resist him or his kiss. Once I mentally surrender and admit to myself that I do in fact want to be doing this, I shift my weight until I’m straddling his lap. He pushes his hips up against me and I can feel that he wants me, just as much as I want him. I roll my pelvis into his and as our tongues continue to tangle, I can taste the beer he just drank. He pulls away, sucking on my lower lip, before releasing it.
“As much as I’d like to continue on with what we were doing, we need to talk first,” He says his hands on my arms, keeping me still.
“Okay.” I can’t say I’m not disappointed that he put a stop to our kissing, but I do agree that we need to discuss some things.
“From the moment we crashed into each other, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. I was literally speechless at the first glimpse of your beautiful face. The chemistry between us is incredibly strong and I’ve never
