DESIRES
I had not believed my eyes despite seeing Anne's influx of texts, all in different variations of the same thing, the one thing I had never imagined in my entire life. Annie had gotten me private lessons with Professor Vaughn Walker, my ethics professor. That's right, the same professor whom I had the hots for, and the very one who drew me semi nude. “What do you mean you got me private lessons with Professor Walker??” I asked as soon as the line connected.I hear her take a deep breath, probably counting in her head like she taught me to numerous times. “Good afternoon to you to Roxy.”I snort, it was an understatement, it was a perfect afternoon. But she wouldn't know that. Taking my snort to mean she should not have done that, Anne sighs.“Look Roxy, i know it might have been a little busy body of me. But i couldn't help it, it is usually my last resort so I had to pull it, considering the fact that you are graduating next year.” Her words mean absolutely nothing to me. I just wanted to confirm that I was not seeing things. “Thank you so much Anne. You have no idea what you have just done for me.” I squeal into the phone. I could almost see her blinking in confusion. I tuck my phone between my shoulder blades and my ear as I eased my car into parking. “What? You.. you aren't mad at me?” She sounds dumbfounded. I can't blame her, I have basically refuted all her efforts at trying to make me a decent student. “of course not. I thought about it over the weekend, and you are right. My parents should not be the reason I have to be in school longer than I should.” I say this lie with the most enthusiasm I could muster as gratitude towards someone who put me where I could only dream of being. In excitement, I revved my engine, laughing as it purred to life.“Roxanne were you talking to me and driving? Do you understand the risk which you have just taken??”I roll my eyes at her speech, today was her day, she could have it.“By the way, what time does the class start? And where does it hold? In his office?” I hope my voice did not sound too hopeful at the end of my question. I have been in his office at least twice now, and i know the thoughts I have had for his always smooth and shiny mahogany table. “The classes start by four and end by six, venue is at the lecture hall he uses to teach you.” Only two hours? It was less than I would have hoped for, but again, twenty four hours were not going to be enough for me with all of my desires. My eyes land on the digital clock on my dashboard and i see the time is 4:55pm, my eyes bulge and curses fly from my lips, I say an abrupt goodbye to Anne and jump out of my car. The lecture hall was on the other side of the building, I parked close to his office. I had to sprint if I wanted to make it there in time. I could not make him wait for me any longer, if only I saw the text earlier. I don't check my phone when I go to the beach, it was me time, I only saw the text because I needed to call the guy who kept my surfing gear. I enter the lecture hall in a rush, an apology for being late on my lips, but it dies when six pairs of eyes turn to the back of the hall to face me. My face grows hot instantly in embarrassment. Mostly because I thought it was only going to be the two of us. “Roxanne Harrington?” His smooth baritone echoed from the front of the hall. I gulped, this was the second time in three years that voice had been directed at me personally, my stomach flipped and my core pulsated. I knew my voice was going to fail me so I nod. “Come sit here.”Oh the dominance that radiated off him. My legs worked on their own to sit at the back, besides a girl with cropped hair. “You are late.” He states, but his sexy eyes pin me down, waiting for an explanation. My entire body reacts to his eyes, all of my nerve endings felt alive and extremely hot. I could feel the heat pool in my core, my nipples hardened in anticipation, I had always used this image of him pinning me down to play with myself when I had the chance, but it can not compare to the real feeling of it happening. “Sorry.” I mumbled after staring for too long.Our eyes meet and he holds my stare, my entire body lights up as his grey eyes pin me down, my throat runs dry, all of my bodily fluids pooling between my legs. I look away first so he doesn't place me as his personal nude muse. He clears his throat, as if remembering that this is a class. “Like I was saying before Roxanne walked in..”At the sound of my name on his lips, my legs clenched tighter. The name sounded so much better coming from him. “Oh my god, you guys should get a room, and wipe the drool off your chin before you go into the room.” The girl with the cropped hair whispered to me. I blink, feeling like a deer in headlights.“I don't know what you're talking about.”I say as I try to calm my racing heart. My ears strain to hear past just his voice, but the only thing I can hear is his rich baritone. No words. “Yeah, if it isn’t the oldest excuse in the book.”I side eye her, and i notice two things at once, she is beautiful and the cropped hair makes her look smoking hot. “Aren't you here for the extra lessons?” I hiss through my teeth.“But watching you eye fuck our professor here is much more fun.” She whispers so only i can hear.I wince, nobody had ever noticed that before. Was I being too obvious? “I don't know what you're talking about.” I insist.“So why are you blushing so hard?”My eyes bulge and i quickly look away. Cropped hair girl chuckles loudly, garnering the attention of other students. I regret sitting beside her and i am grateful when everybody else starts packing up. I was too busy focusing on the delicious shivers that kept rolling down my spine with each word he uttered that I missed the entire lecture, as always. “Aren’t you glad?”I turn to cropped hair girl, ready to put her in her place, “About what?” She smiles innocently, “You were made the class leader, courtesy of me by the way. You'll get to communicate with him on daily basis.”HIS SECRET “How the hell did I get picked to be class leader? It's not even a class.” I say with my hands splayed out in front of me with palms facing up. Cropped hair girl shrugs and pops her lollipop out of her mouth to respond, “I volunteered you since you're the junior amongst us. Nobody argued. Plus I thought it would be a nice opportunity to have your back blown out by Professor Vaughnhottie.”I choke on my saliva mostly because Vaughnhottie was one of the numerous nicknames I had given him. “Why do you keep saying that?”She gave me a once over through her periphery vision.“Honey, you can not keep playing the denial game with me. I saw you guys in class together, believe me when I say it is hot enough without the heat between the two of you.” My eyes bulge as I look around us to see if we were alone, cropped hair girl chuckles. “Relax. We are alone. The other students used the front gate, Professor Vaughnhottie stayed back in the classroom.
RED “Sit cross legged.” He demanded in that calm voice that is absolutely maddening.My legs immediately comply with his order, my spine straightened and my body hummed with expectation. Until him, I didn't even know I found dominance attractive. His eyes darken after seeing me in the position. And I could feel it, the tension that tightened it's claws around both of us, threatening to snap and make us run crazy from all the want. I don't dare look away from his freakishly handsome face. Remembering the first time I noticed him. I swore up and down that I was going to skip all of my classes and focus solely on surfing, and being away from my family. Until I looked up from my phone to see the owner if the creamy, soft and calm voice that had the entire class listening attentively. I remember vividly the ripple of pleasure that shot through my spine, straightening it as our eyes met. His grey eyes had a way of making you feel like the only one in t
FINGERS I must have been imagining things again i tell myself. He would not have run his slender and immaculate fingers across my lips, and i must have been crazy enough to suck on them. “If what you are saying is correct, then he must have indeed run away after that.” Jessica tells me as she sucks on her fruit pop.Cocking my head to the side like it was going to help me differentiate reality from my imagination. All I can see is his beautiful face twisted in pleasure as my tongue ran up and down his fingers. I could still feel them in my mouth, I suppress a moan, it felt so perfect there. The next scene I can remember is him pulling his fingers out of my mouth, taking his bag and everything else and he bolts from the room like his ass was on fire. I sigh. The time was up so I can't tell if he left for real or it happened and i somehow scared him off. Jessica dumped her bag in the back seat of my car, and rested on the body of my car a
UNDERWEAR My heart starts to thump in my chest at the mention of his name. My mouth goes dry and i am unable to control the buzzing that shoots around my spine. “Professor Vaughn? Is he not the professor whose class you are finally done with?” Sarah asked frowning.Jessica gave me a knowing look with a brow raised. I give the tiniest of shrugs. “That is the one.” I hope my voice is steady.“Then why is he calling?”“You will find out after you swipe accept.” Jack says looking pointedly at Jessica's phone screen.She cleared her throat and swiped accept. “Is she taking his class this year?” Sarah whispered to me. I nod quickly, eager to hear what he has to say. Suddenly I regret sitting next to Sarah, Jessica was too far to eavesdrop on the call. Her features go from confused to knowing. She does not respond, he Is doing the talking. And I feel jealous of Jessica. My feet tap impatiently, I busy my hands with the fork so I don't snatch the phone from
TOGETHER I put a commendable effort into my outfit today. A beige plaid mini skirt paired with a crop white sweater. My hair is in soft beach waves and i may or may not have applied a little bit of make up. “Wow, you look stunning. And to think you stayed up all night sending in our projects and getting yours done.” Jessica says as she sees me.She left shortly after Sarah and her husband yesterday, I made her leave so I could start working on the project, and it was surprisingly easy. I submitted mine before I sent out everyone else's. Yes I know, I wanted to be noticed. You can't blame me. “Thank you Jessica. But this is not the sophomore class, this is freshmen class.” In as much as our friendship has started to grow on me, I hated that she had seen me at my worst, in fact she always caught me at my worst. “I could not care less about class right now. It is boring anyway. I decided to watch you, watch the Professor.”I look around us to see if anyon
COMPETITION “He said and i quote, Since this is a favour, you have to come whenever I tell you. No complaints. Is that a deal?”Jessica peered at me, her eyes wide and curious,“And what did you say?”I take a deliberate, slow sip of my iced coffee before I responded.“I took the deal of course. It is a sweet deal.”I take a bite out of my burger. Jessica and i skipped the rest of our classes. She said she knew this great burger place and would deeply regret not following her here, and so far, she was right. The burger was delicious. “I can't believe pieces are starting to fall into place for you, just like that.”I snort unattractively, “This is not just like that. It is years of laying ground work. It is paying off.”She takes a piece of my fry and i let her, she did show me this place after all. “So, what is the next step?” I swallow the contents of my mouth before I speak. “I have to test the waters. See if he was offering just because he wa
WRONG “What the hell am I supposed to do?” I ask as Jessica pass by me with a customer's drink.My fingers fly into my mouth and in between my teeth. “Well, for starters. You could wait until my shift was over.” Now she wanted boundaries? I almost roll my eyes but I have no choice but to settle into my seat and wait. I left the art house thirty minutes ago, and i am still as confused as I was the time the robot told me Professor Vaughn Walker had cancelled today's session. He had never done that. Even on days he looked particularly stressed out, he still came in to draw, a dedication that I admired. Something must have gone wrong. Terribly wrong. Scrolling through Instagram to his page, I find exactly what I am used to seeing. Pictures of the outdoors and his cats, all with weird soulful captions. His last post of a beautiful sun down was three days ago, his caption: inner peace. I was not expecting that search to yield much as he rarely
TENSION The alcohol clears from my eyes as the words register in my mind. “But it is late, who studies at this time?” I am also bewildered, “Maybe students who want to actually graduate?” Janice asked, her words were a slur. I am starting to regret giving her the drink. “I have to go change my clothes.” I smell like cheap liquor, I did not want him thinking I drank all the time. “I have something that will be perfect for you.” Jessica says as she swayed into her bedroom. We were basically the same size, but I never borrowed someone else's clothes before, Sarah and i were not that close. “Get into the shower, there is a packet of unused brushes in there.” Jessica ordered.In my muddled and alcohol induced brain, I knew my choices were limited, so I waddle into the shower. When I get out, there is a black hoodie dress laid out for me. “I never wore it more than once. And it is clean. It also is sexy and studious at the same time.”I am shaking
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE “Urgh. He is the absolute worst. I cannot believe he wouldn't listen to me! Is Leo half this stubborn?” Cecilia winced.“You cannot be stubborn when the only thing that has happened between you is a drunken make out session that doesn’t move past first base.” I sigh and try to concentrate on my stretching. “And Jeff probably doesn’t even consider me a woman for anything to happen. Amongst the three of us you have it perfect right now and I will shove my foot up your ass if you ruin it.” “I’m not ruining anything, he is just not listening to me. Much like you guys right now. And on the day of a big competition like the Bomb, that is the last thing I need.” Cecilia gives me a flat look.“And the last thing I need is my followers hearing this complain so soon into the relationship, because of you guys the surf museum is booming with proposals. And if I wanted a married couple match my parents would give me one, now, my followers have expectatio
ROSE “Where am I supposed to meet him again?” i ask as I play with the hem of my very short skirt. Cecilia swipes my hand away like it was a nuisance, I guess I was a nuisance seeing as she had continually complained about my fingers pulling on the hem of the skirt, trying to get it past my ass, I can feel the wind on my cheeks. “None of your business, I’m taking you there, you’ll know when you get there.” Jeff says as he packs his laptop back into his bag. “You’ll come back after dropping her off right?” Jessica asks him.He sucks his teeth, “I have work, I think you guys can handle the rest.”I watch as Jessica's face falls with inquisitive eyes, but she manages to wipe it away before Jeff could notice. “I would say ladies first, but I have to survey and see if everything is safe before you come out.” Jeff says before sauntering outside. Turning to face Jessica I press down on my squeal. “You totally have the hots for Jeff.”“Nobody has said that
LONG AND HARD I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but I was certain we had both been whispering sweet nothings to each other as our bodies entangled in ways that we probably didn’t know existed before. When I open my eyes I see that it was morning and there was nobody entangled with me on the bed. The other side of the bed though perfectly disturbed, was empty. I lean forward, scanning the room to find that it is as empty as the rest of the bed. I hear shuffling coming from downstairs and smile to myself, he must be down there fixing breakfast. Getting up and slipping into one of his button up shirts, I hurry to the bathroom, I wasn’t trying to look perfect like those women who wake up with a full face of make up in the movies, but I was not exactly going to show up with crusty eyes. My mouth was fresh, my face even fresher, I head downstairs, and into the kitchen. “Great, you finally wake up.” Jessica sighs.I jump in the air and squeal. “What the fuck? What ar
DIVINE My fingers find the ends of his shirt and in a fluid motion, it ends up at a small pile i had created with the rest of our other clothes by the door. "I missed this." I whispered in between kisses.He kissed me harder then let go long enough to say, "You have no idea."My hands roamed the expanse of his chest, fingers dipping into every mould of muscles. He groans into my mouth. Gently, he leads me up to his bed. Our mouths do not leave each other for a second, as my hands roam the entirety of his back, i let him plop on the bed in a sitted position, straddling him and locking him in place with my thighs. Our mouths finally leave each other, and by that time, we are breathing hard and fast. Our faces inches apart from each other. "You are so beautiful." He whispers before nuzzling my neck. I shivered against him as his hands play with the clasp of my bra. His face buried in my neck moved up and down the sides of my face dropping kisses along my jawl
THINKING “What...?”There are so many things I want to ask but the only word I was capable of producing was a single question, well seeing as it was a single word.. what am I even thinking right now? “He fixed it for you, for both of you.” I eye the lady, I honestly don't understand why she is in such a pissy attitude. “He also fixed it for you right? I don’t see you thanking him or being polite to him.” I felt Vaughn tug on my arm, but I was going to get them to be polite to him. And apologise for calling him a predator. “We are grateful we don’t have this problem on our hands anymore, and it was wonderful working with you Mr. Walker, I wish you the very best wherever you end up.” Mr Adam says. I scoff before Vaughn could respond. “That’s it? No thank you? No apologies? You called him a predator, and I demand an apology right now.” The lady sneers at me. “He quit working here doesn’t mean anything. He has clearly groomed his student and if that’s not wha
RUCKUS “Can I discuss this with him first?” I find myself asking. The woman who baited me scoffs. “Would you look at that? She has to run to him first. Do you think a grown man would offer himself up for you?” I ignore her and search the faces of the other board members. “It happened with both of us consenting, I shouldn't have to make this decision alone.” “Mr. Walker was unreachable when we called you in, which explains his absence. We need your decision today, as you know the school's image is at stake.” I swallow.“One hour, I know where he is, I’ll get there in an hour and be back here with your response.” Baiting lady scoffs again. Grating on my nerves. “Do you think we should wait for you? We have important things to do.” “But this concerns him also. It’s only fair that he knows about it.” “Three hours. No more.” Mr. Adam says, startling everyone in the room, including me. When I don't move, he cocks his head to the side. “You really have time
LOVER GIRL I swiped reject on Anne's call again as I head for the door. A text comes from her immediately I do, like she was typing the message as she called. “A heads up, the school board will be calling you in.” My heart dropped to my stomach, as if it was not already there since the whole ordeal started. “Where are you going?” Jessica asked in an urgent tone. Just then an e-mail drops, the one inviting me to sit with the board, the date and time said now, and failure to attend means I was guilty and ready to receive whatever punishment came our way. “School board. And I have to go now.” My voice raised, even in my ears. Jessica cursed and then slipped on her shoes. “Let's go.”“What do you mean..?”She snatched the car keys from me. “You are too shaky to drive, and you will need moral support.” She matches to the car after her spiel. I numbly follow her to the car, and as I fix my seat belt, Leo and Cecilia slid into the back seat. I can only mana
DISGUST It seems all the phones were going off at the same time. I mostly ignored mine whilst scouring the internet for his sister's social media and hopefully, their phone numbers. I had sent dozens of texts to him but got no response, and it had taken a stern talking to from Leo for me to see that going over to his place would only fan the rumours and put him in an even more awkward position. Cecilia’s agents and others were calling non stop, I pretend not to see her grit her teeth as she hit the ignore button. Guilt nipped at my conscience but I was too preoccupied to let it bother me. Jessica kept rejecting calls from people we shared classes with. The whole thing had gone crazy, people were actually leaving comments about how I was favoured in his class and how we always left class together, some might be true but I wish they’d focus on their business, we are two grown adults. “Any luck finding them?” I shake my head, not looking away from the screen. I lef
DENIAL“Holy shit! If love does exist.. it does exist, so I actually do love him.” The words sounded foreign in my ears, but they were true, or else why was my heart banging against my rib cage? And my stomach in tumbles? “I love him.” I whisper.And then with even more conviction, I go, “I really am in love with him!”“Much better isn’t it?”Excitement bubbled in my veins, threatening to burst wide open. “Much! Oh, thank you Leo! Thank you so much! I gotta go let him know how I feel. Do you think he would accept my feelings? Oh my god if I get rejected or something, the world has to end.” He chuckles. “Hey, I got rejected and I turned out okay.” I physically wince at that.“I’m sorry about that.”He waves me and my too late of apology away. “I got over it. Besides, we are talking about you and your first love now.” I bite my lip in thought.“Did you always know? That I was in love with Vaughn.” It still sounded foreign and made me feel t
