"What was the exam like for you? Did our revisions help?" Maggie asks me as we walk down the long aisle, a long line in front of us and a long line behind us. Everybody else is also talking so her voice blends right in. I appreciate that she is not asking me about the reason I told her I wasn't okay. She knows. She saw him. She also probably saw the expression on my face when he walked in.

"It went great, actually. Yes, it did. I am so grateful for you Maggie, thank you for not giving up on me." I squeeze her hand and she squeezes it right back.

"That is good to hear. You are welcome." She says. She turns around, craning her neck to look behind us, and in front of us too. I know who she is looking for.

Penny and Tristan are nowhere to be found. I don't know when they left. I was too busy feeling my heart shatter again in the aftermath of seeing Zane after a whole week.

Finally, we step outside and the cold is immediately biting. I stop when I see them standing together down the hal

    "What?" I am so confused. Then I blush because I remember that I look currently awful. I hate that he saw me like this. And he must know why. "How are you?" He asks again, patiently, kindly. Like he had any rights to the answer of that question. All the other emotions move aside for my anger to come to the surface. Hot and blazing. "Is that why you asked me here? To ask how I am?" I ask, I take a single step forward, he remains where he is though his eyes watch me closely. I get a flashback of how we were in his living room that unfortunate morning. Me, taking a step towards him, him, taking a step away from me, mirroring my movements in the opposite direction as he broke my heart to pieces. "Alex, I..." He starts and I cut him off."How do I look to you, Zane? Tell me, how do you think I am doing?" I hate the brief tremble in my voice, I am angry but also hurt. "Alex. I..." He tries to talk again and I cut him short."You have no rights to ask me that question! No rights. Not jus

    His desperate passion and desire for the kiss takes me like a storm. I cling to him, afraid of falling because my knees turned to jelly immediately his smooth lips found mine. In the first second, I tried to fight it, I pushed at his hard chest, and didn't let his mouth control mine, but I didn't last. I gave up the fight in the very next second. One second, I was pushing him away, the next, I was fisting his shirt, grabbing his face, and returning the maddening intensity of his kisses, clinging to him like he was a flame and I was a moth, needing him even as I knew I shouldn't. Zane's hand goes behind my head, protecting my head from the hard wood of the door and projecting my face upwards so he can kiss me even deeply. I moan, feeling the upheaval of desire start up in my chest, travelling all over my bloodstream. He kisses me long and hard. His tongue ravage my mouth, searching, taking, dancing, luring, making me make soft sounds in the back of my throat that can pass as moaning.

    Zane Orion POV::It takes everything I have to not break down in her warm embrace. Alex crushes her soft body against mine and it is like a slice of heaven in the hell I have found myself wallowing in since my latest disastrous talk with Daisy. It broke my heart to come to the conclusion that attempts at peace and resolution were practically useless. Daisy had her mind made up. She wouldn't let me go. She hates to even imagine me happy. So she would go lengths to ruin any chance I get at happiness. Just the way she did with Shane Bolton. And the poor boy with his dumb misplaced pride doesn't even realise it. Seeing how much of a decline he really was on struck something loose within me but I still foolishly held onto hope. I hold Alex close, relishing the moment. Her sweet vanilla scent invades my senses and I close my eyes, wanting the moment to last forever. God, how I have missed her. I thought I would lose my head this past week. She occupied my thoughts every single moment I wa

    Alex POV::"But, what do you think, Zane?" I can't help but ask. I swallow and break the eye contact with him. I don't want him to see the tears shimmering in my eyes. I clench my fists in my armpits. I will not cry in front of him. I will not grovel. I will be stronger this time around. I will be better. He wouldn't see me hurt. I can't let him see just how badly he was breaking my heart. Ruining me beyond repair. "Alex. I am so sorry." A sob wrenches from some deep parts of me at the gentle warmth of his voice. God, I hate it when he apologises. It tears me apart. It floods me with such painful emotions, it leaves me breathless because he does it so helplessly. I grit my teeth and swipe at the tears on my cheek. "Don't. Quit apologising. It is so useless." I say. My voice wobbles around the lump in my throat but I know he can hear me loud and clear. The office is quiet and dark. The memories we have shared in this space. The passion. The lust. The love. And now the pain. The awful

    Alex POV:::We don't say anything on our way back. And I am thankful for the silence. For her companionship and her friendship. Maggie occasionally makes funny side comments as we walk past certain landmarks on our route to the residential halls, but for the most parts, she remains quiet. She doesn't ask me about my meeting with Zane. She doesn't inquire why I came back red eyed and so obviously wrecked. She gives me the space and silence I need to clear my head. It doesn't work. When we reach the hall, I found that my heart still felt heavy. My mouth still dry. My head still hurting. I found that I could still feel the intense hurt from my most recent heartbreak again. I can't believe I went and subjected myself to that. After the first one almost killed me, I should have known better. But I am weak for Zane. My heart and body and soul. I am all his. Always. I can't begin to imagine myself with anyone else. Every other man would pale in comparison. I couldn't bring myself to even l

    "You stupid dumb bitch. You know, I used to feel sorry for you, but right now, I just might celebrate it when that asshole finally leaves you in ruins." Maggie is once again in front of me, glaring bullets at Penny who matches her energy with just as much bile as she regards us from the entrance. "Who even the hell are you supposed to be? Why are you butting your ugly ass in this situation that has nothing to do with you?" Penny throws at Maggie. It occurs to me that she really didn't recognise Maggie. Never cared to even commit her face and name to memory, inspite of the fact that she accompanied me on that ill advised visit to her on her sick bed. Tristan too. He doesn't know her even though he has spent a whole session in the same class with her. I guess people like Maggie and I are really invisible to people like Tristan and Penny. We are worlds apart. "You don't have to know me. But I know you and that asshole you are clinging to in this self destructive path you have chosen.

    "I will literally drag you out of your bed if I have to, Alex. You are going to show up to that party whether you like it or not. I am going home in two days, I demand you to do this one thing on my behalf. I can't show up alone, I will look stupid and Conrad won't talk to me all night. But if we both show up together, then the chances of looking like a loser is halved and my chances of getting with Conrad before I go home is increased." Maggie is animated as she goes about the room, scattering the contents of her wardrobe all over, the party is in four hours and she is going crazy now. It is supposed to be just a little celebration for our class seeing as we are done with our first year. It will be a get-together held at one of the department's leisure halls. The debate club started the preparations, but somehow it exploded into this big thing that over half the class are interested in. I guess us nerds still need to celebrate once the marathon studying is done with. What I didn't f

    "Uhm, okay, so, don't freak out." Maggie appears by my side, looking freaked out. The pop music playing overhead tows the line between too loud and just okay. The party is in full swing, and the hall is filled to the brim. I feel suffocated in the crowd, so I am perched at the makeshift bar set up on the podium, laughing at the unfunny jokes of Kyle, the bartender, who is the cool kind of nerd you kind of forget is a nerd till he starts talking. Alcohol is flowing. The music is good. A lot of people brought plus ones. There are some seniors in the mix. I don't know how Maggie pulled it off, but there are strobe lights that streak the entire hall with party lights, setting the mood between a cozy get together and a night club. Most of the people in attendance are people I know. People in my social circle. I turn to Maggie, her face is shiny with sweat, she had been dancing. She tried to get me to join her but I refused because attending the party was enough compromise. "What?" I ask

    He gives his charming smile and nods, "Hello to you too, Madeleine." He says good-naturedly. The audience is still cheering and clapping. Someone uses the teleprompter to ask for silence, and it still takes a few seconds for the studio to go quiet so Madeleine can continue. They love him. My heart fills with pride. And love, too. I am so grateful that we are past that dark phase in his life two years ago where it felt like he was losing everything, and it was my fault. "Let's get right into this book!" Madeleine says, and the audience erupts with cheering and applause again. But it is quickly controlled. "First off, I want to talk about the process. It is very rare to see projects like this. I know of authors coming together to write biographies or translating books. But actually writing together? That is new and different. Alex, I want to know what the writing process was like for you. Orion is already quite established and experienced, but this was your debut!" Madeleine asks me.

    "I have no idea." I say, truthfully. I really don't. I have still not come to terms with the thought that I am not going to return to the college for the new session. Since Zane is not going back, it makes no sense for me to. That is how it works now. That is how it will be from now on. "Okay. We can put a pin on that for now, then. Back to my offer, what do you think, Alex?" Zane squeezes my knee with one hand, his eyes stay on the traffic ahead, as he navigates the car. I recognise this highway and where it leads. He is driving us to the cabin. His cabin. Our cabin. My heart is so full, I can barely breath. "You want me to co-write a book with you?" I ask him again, just to be sure I am not in a dream. Just to be sure that this is real. The sound of his laughter reassures me. It is real. I am going to be an author! "Yes, Alex. I want to work with you on a book that is going to be more successful than all the books I have ever released." He says as he pulls into the countryside, i

    Alex POV::"Oh my God! What do you mean?" My voice comes out as a really loud scream that is very uncharacteristic of me, Zane just smiles, he takes my hand and leads the way out of the hallway, I follow him still confused but feeling a swirl of excitement ramp up in the pit of my stomach at the mere thought. I can't even begin to fathom it! "Come, let's go before you summon the whole department." He says and I laugh but the laughter bleeds off my face as soon as we step out of the department and there are a lot of people around and they all stop to stare at us as if we were stars in a movie and the director yelled for everyone to stare at us. I blush under the scrutiny. I didn't expect this much people to be out and about but I guess most people are already resuming. I think it is only my class that is resuming a week later, the rest of the department are resuming this week. I try to pull my hand from Zane's grip, he doesn't let go, he looks down at me with a questioning look in hi

  • Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You]   Zane Makes An Announcement

    Zane Orion POV::"We were just trying to determine how this scandal started. If you get what I mean." Mrs. Tyrell tells me, she sounds like she would rather be anywhere else, but Mrs. Manson looks exactly the opposite, I understand she wants to be rid of me and sent that announcement of my job termination to the press. I understand that as vice president of the college, she can't afford the fallout from the scandal, so she must do what is in the best interests of the college, but this is going too far. They are still trying to pin everything on Alex. They want a different story. "I thought the panel was referencing the interview. You should already have your answers to that." I say, holding Mrs. Manson's narrowed gaze. Alex squeezes my hand under the desk, I interpret it as her being nervous. I have missed her so God damned much, it is unreal. Sitting beside her, I keep taking full lungful of her scent. She smells just as I remember, the nostalgia of us together at my cabin, naked

    "These feelings, you didn't consider them inappropriate seeing as he was your Professor and a respected member of this faculty?" Mrs. Tyrell asks when the rest of the room remains silent. "No, I didn't." I say, deciding to be truthful and straight to the point."Did you act on these feelings first?" They are trying to determine if I should be the one to place most of the blame on. So it becomes a case of a student seducing her lecturer and they can get Zane back since he is obviously more valuable than I am in terms of who contributes more to the college. I didn't come here to be crucified so I wouldn't give them that satisfaction. It is becoming clearer to me that I definitely wouldn't be allowed to finish my degree here. I nursed a pipe dream, hoping that I could do anything about this case that has now spiralled into something more than me. "I can't answer that as I can't say. I don't know who acted first. It was mutual and consensual from the beginning." I tell them, the confid

    Do I even want to continue schooling here? I don't know. I have not been able to really think about the impact of this situation and what it meant for my interests. I came to this school because of Zane, if he is not going to be here, do I want to stay? I mean, I have to think about myself and what would work best for me, but I can't help thinking about him too, I can't help it. He was summoned too and he promised me he would show up after they were done with me, I can't wait to see him. Though it would feel weird meeting again in this department after everything that has happened, but I look forward to it regardless. I missed him so much. "You said you chose this college solely because professor Orion taught here?" Mrs. Tyrell asks, she is obviously going to be the one doing all the questioning while the others sit in, I can feel their sharp gazes trained on me, I can't bring myself to look at any of them, I keep my eyes set on a spot above their heads. "Yes, I did. It was the tru

    "I told you to be careful because you are young, Alex. He is almost twice your age. I told you that he had more life experiences you can only dream of. This relationship, it isn't fair on you. You probably can't see it now but you are getting the short end of the stick. I can't watch you spend your youth like this, Alex. This is the time of your life to be young and free and unburdened, you can't spend it dating a man with a kid and a mad ex wife." It is one thing we have come to agree on. That Daisy is insane. She didn't hesitate to believe me after I told her about how Daisy was stalking me and being weird. "Mom, I am young, but I am not naive. I matured almost ten years above my age after we lost dad. I am not a kid. I am not going to spend my 'youth' being free and unburdened as you put it because it would never happen for me. I am already burdened, Mom. I understand your worries and I am sorry that I have disappointed you or that I am not going to listen to you, but it is someth

    "How did you know where she is? Did her family home location get leaked online?" My heart is racing so hard, I can barely breath. I can't follow all else that Madeleine said, I can't get past the part about her getting an interview with Alex. The last time we talked, we didn't agree on talking with the press. My dumb strategy was waiting out the outrage. I know that it would eventually fizzle out. I didn't mind being the worst hit. As long as Alex was safe and shielded."Is that the only thing you heard me say?" Madeleine leans forward, intense eyes narrowed in interest. "No, her location wasn't leaked, Orion. I found her because I was interested, it takes little to find someone these days." She says, leaning back, arms crossed over her chest. "Why were you interested?" I will get back to the interview bit but there was something about Madeleine's presence in this cabin that felt different. We are friends but we hardly get involved with eachother's lives. She has made it clear that

    "You look like shit." Madeleine pushes past me and the half open door to make her way inside the dark living room. "What are you doing here?" I ask, reluctantly turning on the lights, knowing I look exactly like shit as she said. Madeleine is more than an acquaintance, I would say we have a friendship of sorts. We have kept in touch over the years since my debut, she invited me to her wedding three years ago. She is a wildly interesting woman with a diverse group of friends. Artists and writers and everyone in between. She is also three years older than me. There might be some kind of maternal undertone to our relationship, but it isn't weird. I like her. We work really well together, she is always the first person my books are sent to for a review. And it is a mutually beneficial relationship that has held grounds for years now. All this doesn't explain to me why she is here. She is not the kind of journalist to chase after scandalous stories like the one I am currently involved w
