A Bet

Jennifer's POV

I almost gave myself a resounding slap hearing my own excuse. How could I say something like that? I was so into the moment of being close to him, that I lost myself which led to me playing with his belt..I felt like a horny teenager. I had imagined different scenarios within, that I was misbehaving because I was close to him.

“Really? Does someone you know have it?” he asked, and I didn't know why it felt like he was angry about that.

“No, that's trash talk,” I said, smiling ear to ear forgetting that the man's words brought me to tears some minutes ago.

Only he could make me experience heaven, and hell at the same time. I leaned into the hug more, and I felt something poking my waist. My eyes widened realising what that was, but before I could ask a question he stepped away immediately and I felt cold as I was used to the warmth from him.

“Or does your boyfriend have something like this?” He asked, and my smile slipped. “What boyfriend? I'm single, only if you know how long I have been..” ‘for you’ I mulled the last part in my head.

“Do you still need the job?” He asked, and my eyes lit up in excitement. “Yes, I do.” I said, even though I remembered that Vera promised to sort my tuition out.

“You can resume work on Monday. Don't be late.”He said, and my eyes widened in shock.

“Really? Thank you, Professor!” I yelled in joy as I jumped on me, hugging him tightly. I was so happy that everything worked out well, I could be with the professor, and also have a job to pay Vera back.

“Ok, I have to go,” he said, disengaging from the hug, and walked away hurriedly as if he was running away from me.

I beamed with excitement, but my brain jolted in realization remembering all our physical touches just now.

“Does the professor also have feelings for me?” I blurted, and the thought of that made me excited. I ran back to the club, and told Vera all that happened, but she wasn't too excited to hear that.

“Are you sure that he doesn't have an ulterior motive?” She asked, but I didn't care. “I don't care, all I know that I can work and also be with my hot professor at the same time, that's all that matters.” I said.

What ulterior motive could professor Sander has?

“Ok,” she said. “And this could be my chance to finally be with him. I don't think that what I have for professor Sander is just a crush, so I can confess my feelings properly.” I said, and Vera just nodded her head.

“Should we make a bet about your stay there then?” Vera asked, and I felt weird with her request.

“Why should we do that?” I pondered, but she just shrugged it off. “Since you get a job at his place for work, I want to make a bet that you can't get him to sleep with you within a month.” She said, and my eyes knitted in anger.

What's that?

“What do you mean? Do I look that repulsive? Of course, I can have any man if I set my mind to it, even if that man is my Professor,but I'm not doing that.” I said

“$20,000!” She blurted, and my eyes widened in shock. “What do you mean?”

“I will give you $20,000, if you can sleep with professor Sander within a month.” She said, and that got me considering her offer. “And not to forget you have always lusted after this man. It's a win-win offer for you.” She added.

Professor Sander was an upright man of morals, I wouldn't think he would get involved with a student, but the money was too much to pass on.

“Do we have a bet?” Vera rang, and I nodded my head gently.

A month? I should be able to do that, right? I didn't know how confident I could be to actually thought to agreed to Vera's bet, but maybe I wanted to do it for my benefits. I wanted professor Sander too, so bet or no bet the thought of that excited me.

“Deal!” I said mindlessly, thinking what could go wrong.
