Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Invitation To The Party
"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

Zane Orion POV:::"Enjoy the party? Did you just ask me to enjoy the party because I have had a stressful month of exams?" The anger rolls off her in waves, I am surprised at the sudden switch in her demeanour. I must have said something really stupid, but my God, she is stunning tonight. I haven't seen her in two weeks and it has been the worse two weeks I have had the misfortune to experience in all my years alive. That is not an exaggeration. I swamped myself in work and misery, but nothing could keep her out of my head. I felt awful in addition to the heartache because of how much I knew I hurt her. Because of the loud music, Alex moves closer to me, it is a bad idea but she is too angry to care, I am left with struggling to keep my head clear with her sweet scent invading my senses. My heart thumps like a wild animal in my chest at the proximity. The fire in her green eyes, the dim light on her dark hair making her seem like a vision. Beautiful doesn't even come close to quanti

Alex POV:::I don't know why I said it. Or why it occured to me. Or what exactly is going on in my head. It is hard to think straight when I am around Zane. I get impulsive. I get these wild fantasies that has me doing and wanting things that I know I shouldn't. It is how I got here in the first place. With a broken heart and an impossible situation. So here I am. On the dance floor. Not minding the smell of sweat and heat and the alcohol on the breath of both mine and everyone around me. Maggie sees me, she giggles excitedly and leaves Conrad to come dance with me. We sway to the pop music playing so loudly, I feel it in my chest, thumping along to the beat of my heart knowing that Zane is still perched at the bar, definitely watching me. I can feel his dark eyes on my skin like a breath. All it takes it buoy me. Make me more carefree. I am able to let go and bask in the music. Fucking Claire showing up like the Zane magnet that she was. I didn't even see her join the party, but th

"Alex! Stop." I don't stop. I don't even know where I am headed. I just need to get away. I don't want him to see me like this. I am embarrassed and angry and hurt and slightly dizzy and sad and everything in between. I can't believe the foolishness I underwent in there with Aaron. God, I don't think I will be able to face him ever again. The embarrassment has my cheeks permanently red as I hurry away, blinding walking on the dark road. "Alex!" Zane calls to me again. He is close behind me and I can't walk fast enough to get away. I find myself in the parking lot, weaving through the jumble of cars, having no fucking clue why I am here. I don't own a car."Alex!" He grabs my wrist and whirls me around, stopping me in my tracks. The bright overhead light behind him casts him as one huge shadow that when I look up into his face, I only see his dark brown deep set eyes. They hold the undercurrent of anger in their stormy dark depths. It is really déjà vu. I don't know if he is thinkin

Zane doesn't waste any second responding to the kiss. He takes my mouth like a storm, taking absolute control, swift and hard, I lose my breath when his swift expert tongue seeks entrance into my mouth, I open up for him and he takes the chance like he had been starving, dancing fervently with my tongue, lapping, searching, taking, claiming. I make all sorts of embarrassing sounds that can't be classified as moans. I don't notice him walking backwards, moving deeper into the darkest area of the parking space where the overhead lights don't reach. We are as utterly alone as we are exposed. Common sense is flung out the window with his mouth on mine, his tongue in my mouth, dancing against mine, stroking me to furnace levels heat, reminding me of the fire we are capable of igniting when we gave in to our bodies. Zane whirls me around, settling me on the hood of a car in the dark. My legs remain tightly wound around his waist, holding fast, hot and desperate and needy and hardly satisf

All I can do is hold on. Digging my nails into the bunching muscles of his shoulders and back and neck as Zane thrusts into me with desperate hard pumps that has me feeling like I am on the brink of something larger than me. Inching closer and dreading it, knowing that when it comes for me, it will not leave me the same. It is deja vu. We are back to the beginning and we are choosing each other again. We are choosing the same thing again. We are letting our bodies rule again. Trusting that it knows what it needs. And going for it. Dangerous and desperate and hungry. Zane fucks me like the world was coming to an end and we were racing against time. I have long stopped worrying about how loud I am being. It has become inconsequential. I don't care if someone walks in here to check out the source of the noise. I scream at the top of my lungs, feeling myself come undone around him. My eyes roll to the back of my head. My breath leaves my lungs and my muscles become one tight string with
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Never Letting Go
Zane Orion POV::The two hours drive goes by quietly and uneventfully and I am soon pulling into the countryside, it is past midnight and the very air is different here. Quiet and rid of that thick unsettled city air. The moon hangs low amidst clear clouds, twinkling stars and an horizon that stretches everywhere the eyes can see. Acres and acres of farmland belonging to families who have been here for centuries. A blend of modern machinery, structures and old ones. Livestock pens. Cows, pigs, goats and even chicken. When I got my cabin out here, it felt like stepping into a different world, away from the bustling soulless vibe of the city. I never brought Daisy here, she hated it before I even got it. I kill the engine and get out so I can carry my girl. Alex has slept off at the beginning of the ride. Her little gaspy breathes serenading me for the duration of the quiet ride. She stirs in my arms as I walk to the front porch of my perfect getaway space. The cabin is sacred in the s

Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] It's All Worth It.
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.
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Turning Lemon Into Lemonade
"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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Zane Opens Up To Alex
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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Zane Is Here
"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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] Alex Makes A Bold Move
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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] The Panel Meeting
"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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] A Gleam Of Hope?
"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
Her Feral Professor [ Your Professor Shouldn't Taste You] The Journalist
"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
