19. Underneath It All
Last Updated:
2024-11-04 19:00:19As they drove back from Luke’s apartment, the tension between Belle and Noah was palpable but not entirely unpleasant. They had managed to talk to Luke, secure his tentative approval, and for now they were in the clear. But Belle knew this was only the beginning. Tomorrow, everything would change again, she would start college, and they would have to pretend as if they didn’t know each other.
Noah’s fingers drummed lightly against the steering wheel as they approached the city. Belle watched him quietly, admiring the way his jaw clenched with focus, the fading bruise that marred his otherwise perfect face. He was so much more than the man she had fallen for, he was her secret, her world, and tomorrow, he would be her professor. The thought sent a nervous flutter through her stomach.
“You’re quiet,”

Professor's Captive 20. First Day, Hidden Desires
The sprawling campus seemed overwhelming, its tall, stately buildings buzzing with students hurrying off to their classes. It was a new beginning, yet her mind was preoccupied with one thing. Noah.He wasn’t just Noah here. He was Professor Alabaster. She couldn’t let anyone know about the secret they shared, the dangerous line they walked. She swallowed hard, gripping the strap of her bag, willing herself to focus on something other than the magnetic pull of her forbidden relationship. She was a college student now, and today, she would meet new people, sit through her first lectures, and blend in as if her life wasn’t a tangled web of desire and deception."You ready for the first day?" Cassidy asked, linking her arm through Belle’s and steering them towards the main building.

Later that night, Belle lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, her mind racing with thoughts of Noah. The tension between them was overwhelming, impossible to deny. But it wasn’t just the tension between them that kept her awake. Belle’s body was aching with need, her breasts felt heavy, ached, swollen and sore.The discomfort was maddening. She had tried massaging them, but the pressure only seemed to make the ache worse. The sensation only made her think of Noah’s hands, his touch, and how desperately she wanted him to take away the pain in the way only he could. Her skin felt hypersensitive, and every time she shifted, it sent another wave of discomfort through her chest. She could feel the tightness in her nipples, her body practically screaming for relief. She needed relief, she needed him. His touch, his lips, anything to ease the ache that pulsed through her bod

Noah's hands roamed over Belle’s body, caressing every curve and dip until she was aching for more of his touch. "I want to taste you," he murmured, his lips brushing against the sensitive skin of her neck. "Every inch of you."Belle shivered at the promise in his words. Almost as if he could sense her need, Noah's hands slid up her sides, coming to rest just below the swell of her breasts. His thumbs brushed over the peaks, sending jolts of electricity straight to her core.Unable to resist any longer, Noah tugged down the front of her dress, exposing her breasts to his hungry gaze. He groaned at the sight, his eyes darkening with desire. "You're perfect," he breathed, before leaning down to take one nipple into his mouth.The sensation was incredible, the wet heat of
Last Updated : 2024-11-07Professor's Captive 23. Morning Desire
The morning light filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft golden glow across the room. Belle stirred, her body nestled against Noah’s. The warmth of his skin against hers was a comforting reminder of the night they’d shared, and her mind lingered on the intense moments they had experienced together. Every touch, every kiss, every inch of him seemed to linger on her body, leaving her with an aching desire to feel it all again.Noah’s arm was draped lazily across her waist, his chest rising and falling in a slow, steady rhythm. For a moment, Belle lay still, listening to his heartbeat, the soft hum of the city outside. It was peaceful. Almost too peaceful, considering the storm that had raged between them just hours before. She let out a quiet sigh, her body still sensitive, the soreness a reminder of how thoroughly Noah had claimed her.

The morning sunlight grew brighter as the day continued to creep forward, but neither of them moved. The world outside their bedroom felt distant, almost unreal, as if it didn’t exist in this bubble of warmth and intimacy they’d created. Belle felt her mind drifting, thinking about how far she’d come, how far they’d come.She remembered when Noah had first entered her life, a stranger whose gaze alone could send her pulse racing. He was a man who seemed so unattainable, so distant, yet now here they were, wrapped around each other like they’d always been meant to fit this way. A part of her had fought this for so long, afraid of what it meant to open herself up to someone like him. But now, lying in his arms, it felt like the most natural thing in the world."You're thinking too much," Noah said suddenly

The bustling energy of the campus was a sharp contrast to the serene intimacy Belle and Noah had shared just hours before. As Belle made her way across the courtyard, the noise of students laughing, chatting, and hurrying to their classes filled the air, a reminder that life outside of her cocoon with Noah still moved at its relentless pace. She adjusted the strap of her backpack and sighed, momentarily lost in thought. Her relationship with Noah had reached a depth she hadn’t expected, and though she felt more at peace than ever, the demands of her everyday life were creeping back into view.Her psychology class was about to start, and as she pushed open the door to the large lecture hall, she was greeted by a familiar sight of rows of students, heads bent over their laptops, some engaged in quiet conversations, others completely absorbed in their own worlds. Belle found her usual seat

The air between them had felt almost perfect, as if the world outside their intimate moments didn't exist. But that morning, as Belle sat alone in the quiet of their shared apartment, her mind started to wander back to something that had been lingering on the edges of her consciousness. There had always been a distance to Noah, a part of him he kept hidden.She didn’t like secrets, but she also didn’t want to pry. After all, wasn’t everyone entitled to some part of themselves, a small piece they kept to themselves? But lately, Belle couldn’t shake the feeling that whatever Noah was hiding was big. Bigger than she had originally thought.The unease grew in her chest as she recalled fleeting moments, Noah’s hesitation when she’d asked about his past, the way his phone would sometimes buzz with a message that left his face tight with tension.Today, that tension was palpable even when he wasn’t in the room. She could feel i
Last Updated : 2024-11-12Professor's Captive 27. Unraveling Shadows
Belle had always known that Noah wasn’t a simple man. From the moment their paths crossed again after years apart, there had been an undercurrent of secrecy that ran beneath his charm—a past he rarely spoke of. In their most intimate moments, he’d open up just enough to let her feel like she knew him, but she always sensed that there were parts of him he kept locked away.Now, as she walked across campus, that feeling of unease settled over her like a heavy fog. The crisp autumn air did little to shake the chill creeping into her bones. It was a stark contrast to the warmth and intimacy they had shared just hours before, when they lay tangled together in her bed, blissfully lost in each other’s embrace. That morning had been a reminder of how far they’d come, a moment of bliss she had never expected to experience with him. Yet, as she navigated through the throngs of students, laughter and chatter echoing all around, her mind was consumed with qu

Professor's Captive Epilogue: Where Love Remains
The sun was setting over the city, casting long shadows across Belle’s apartment as she stood by the window, watching the light fade into darkness. The evening sky was a blend of fiery oranges and soft purples, a stark contrast to the storm that raged within her. It had been three days since Noah had walked out of the safe house, three agonizing days of silence, of questions without answers.Belle’s chest ached with longing, her mind replaying that night over and over. She couldn’t forget the look in Noah’s eyes when he’d discovered the truth, the betrayal and hurt etched into his features. Despite everything, despite the walls he’d built to keep his past at bay, Belle knew that Noah had let her in, she was the one person he’d chosen to trust. And now, that trust had been shattered, not by her actions, but by the sins of her father.With a heavy sigh, Belle turned away from the window, running a hand through her hair. Her thoug
Professor's Captive 40. When the Shadows Collide
The car sped through the empty streets, Belle’s hands gripping the steering wheel as if her life depended on it which, she realized, it very well might. The city lights blurred past her, casting fleeting shadows on the dashboard, but her mind was miles away, racing through the events that had just unfolded.Everything had come crashing down so quickly. One moment, she and Noah had been sharing a quiet, intimate life together, and now she was running for her life, her entire world shattered by the truth that had finally come to light. The men chasing them weren’t just part of Noah’s past, they were a direct result of a life he’d tried to leave behind, a life she hadn’t fully understood until now.And then there was her father. Mikhail had always been protective, even overbearing at times, but Belle had never suspected that he was entangled in Noah’s past. The revelation of his connection to Noah’s father’s death had stunne
Professor's Captive 39. The Reckoning
The air felt unnaturally still as Belle stood outside Noah’s apartment, her heart pounding in her chest. This was it, the moment she had been dreading but knew was inevitable. Her mind was racing with the weight of everything she had learned, and the questions that had haunted her since her father’s revelations refused to let her rest. Tonight, the truth would come out. One way or another, she would confront Noah, and whatever came next would shape their future, if they even had one.The late-night quiet of the street contrasted sharply with the turmoil inside her. Belle’s fingers trembled slightly as she fumbled with the keys, unlocking the door. She pushed it open, stepping into the apartment, where the air felt thick, charged with the tension she knew awaited her. The lights were dim, casting long shadows across the room, and there, sitting on the edge of the couch, was Noah.His expression was unreadable, but Belle could see the strain in his post
Professor's Captive 38. The Weight of the Truth
The days after Belle’s confrontation with her father passed in a haze of confusion, tension, and unspoken words. The revelations had shaken her to the core, and while she tried to hold everything together on the outside, the storm inside her raged on. Noah had been quieter than usual, more distant, and Belle knew it wasn’t just because of what she had learned from her father. There was more, and she could feel it, something deeper, something darker that Noah wasn’t telling her.As she walked through the crowded college campus, her mind was miles away. She barely registered the people around her, the familiar sounds of students chattering, the soft rustling of papers, the low hum of distant conversations. She was lost in her own thoughts, replaying the last few days over and over again, searching for answers that still eluded her.What exactly had her father meant when he warned her about Noah’s past? Dangerous men? Enemies? Belle had known Noah&
Professor's Captive 37. Shattered Illusions
The sun dipped low in the sky as Belle drove toward her father’s hotel, her heart pounding harder with each passing mile. The roads were familiar, but today they felt different, charged with an energy that made her feel like a stranger in her own life. She was about to confront Mikhail, the man who had raised her, guided her, and protected her. The man who had kept an unimaginable secret, one that had torn Noah’s family apart.Belle tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her knuckles turning white. Everything had changed since the conversation with Noah. The image of her father, the foundation of her life, was fracturing, and Belle had no idea how deep the cracks ran.As she pulled into the long, winding driveway, her mind was racing, trying to anticipate how the confrontation would unfold, how her father would react. Would he deny it? Would he lie to her face? Or would he come clean, revealing more than she was ready to hear?The air felt heavy a
Professor's Captive 36. The Breaking Point
The air in the apartment felt heavy, charged with a tension that neither Belle nor Noah could shake. After the unexpected visit from the mysterious stranger, an unspoken weight had settled between them. Noah was distant, his thoughts clearly tangled with whatever threat was looming on the horizon. Belle tried to focus, tried to ground herself in the moment, but the secrets swirling between them made it hard to breathe, let alone think straight.Belle paced the living room, her mind racing as she replayed the confrontation at the door. Who was that man? And what did he want from Noah? The growing sense of unease gnawed at her, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that things were about to get a lot worse before they got better.Noah was seated on the edge of the couch, his head in his hands, his breathing heavy as he tried to regain control. His silence spoke volumes, and Belle knew he was holding back just like always. The past few days had been a whirlwind of reve
Professor's Captive 35. Shadows Between Us
The drive back to the apartment felt longer than usual, the weight of her father’s revelations pressing down on Belle like a thick fog. Mikhail’s words echoed in her mind: There’s a lot of anger there, anger that he’s never dealt with. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal, not just because of what Noah had kept from her, but because her father had known all along and hadn’t told her. How could something so monumental be hidden from her for so long?When she arrived at the apartment, the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a soft orange glow over the city. Her fingers trembled as she unlocked the door and stepped inside. The familiar scent of Noah’s cologne and the sight of their shared life wrapped around her like a comforting blanket, but today it felt different. Tainted.Noah was sitting on the couch, his head resting in his hands, tension radiating from his body. He didn’t look up whe

"Come for me, Belle," Noah urged, his hips rolling in a slow, deliberate grind. "Show me how much you want this."But just as the intensity of their passion reached its peak, the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway outside, and both of them froze. Belle’s heart raced as she stared at the door, her pulse pounding in her ears. They were caught, there was no way they could explain this away if someone walked in. The door wasn’t locked, and anyone could push it open at any moment.With trembling hands, Belle slid off the desk, quickly adjusting her clothes as Noah did the same. They exchanged a heated glance, the intensity between them still palpable despite the interruption.The footsteps outside faded, and the tension in the room slowly began to ease. Belle exhaled a shaky breath, her heart still racing from the close call.“That was close,” she whispered, her voice breathless.Noah chuckled softly, running a hand throu
Professor's Captive 33. Whispers of the Past
The sun filtered through the tall windows of the lecture hall, casting a warm, golden glow over the room. Belle sat in the back, her fingers tracing the edge of her notebook absentmindedly as she watched Noah pace across the front of the classroom. He was delivering his lecture on classic literature, his voice calm and measured, but all Belle could focus on was the tension in his shoulders, the subtle tightness in his movements that only she seemed to notice.No one in the room had any idea of the complicated, messy emotions swirling beneath the surface, and Belle liked it that way. They could sit here, surrounded by students, playing their roles, Professor Alabaster and his student and no one would suspect a thing. But the intensity between them simmered, barely contained, like an unspoken secret that threatened to spill out at any moment.As Noah’s voice echoed through the room, discussing themes of desire and betrayal in the novel they were studying, Belle&rsq
