The Professor's Second Chance Mate Chapter 16a
***Lara***Maya would have had us marked and mated in the mountains today if she’d had her way. I had to give Kelton and Knight credit, it had to take immense self-control to hold back while Maya was literally shoving her butt in his face, begging for it. Not that I was immune.The mate bond had been pulling me to him, since the moment I first caught his scent and the more time we spent in each other’s company, the stronger that bond grew. Now I was completely sure that this was the man I wanted. It was more than the goddess's bond too. He was the most amazing man I’ve ever met. He’s just so… perfect. He’s perfect. And mine! I wanted to scream it from the mountain top.The drive back down the mountain was much more comfortable than the way up. I grinned like an idiot as I took in the views outside the window. No longer did I wonder if he had some secret, hidden agenda. I no longer had any doubts about him or his intentions.“What are you thinking about, my love?” He asked, a sly smile

Right. I was thinking sexy thoughts and sitting in the front row. He could probably smell my arousal. Whoops. Blushing scarlet, I bit my lip to hold back my smirk. I kind of loved that I could affect this supposedly unfluffable man in that way.Pushing all dirty thoughts aside, reluctantly, I determinedly focused all my attention on ‘leadership principles for business’ - today’s lecture topic. It was dull enough to hamper my sex drive.As class ended, he announced that he needed to collect our papers on the way out.I was tempted to leave it and bolt. I didn’t trust myself to be in the same room with him when he looked like sex on a stick. He had other plans.“A word please, Mr. Chambers, Miss Waters, and Miss Lopez.” The class filed out, and soon it was just the other two students and I in the room with the professor of my dreams.He handed a paper to a girl I assumed was Miss Lopez. “I understand where you are coming from, far more than you could imagine. I looked up your record. Yo

I had to be redder than a bottle of Tabasco sauce. “Kelton…” I wished I had the right words to say back to him. His smooth talk had affected me so deeply I was rendered practically speechless. Panting and speechless. My throat was so dry I was shocked I’d manage to squeeze that one word out, raspy as it was. My hands itched to rip his pants off right there and then. In reality, I wasn’t quite sure what to do, but I understood the basics. Stick it in, jiggle around…I’d figure it out. I’d need him to teach me, dominate me. I sighed. He pressed his hard body closer to mine and felt his very strong need for me.I heard a weird, strangled moan. I only realized that it came from me when his deep, rich chuckle reached my ears.“Go, my darling, now is not this time. But you’re welcome to think about how good I will make you feel, when you’re ready, of course.”Goddess almighty, I was so ready.He lightly smacked my ass. I yelped. Not from pain. But from surprise and built-up tension that sudd

No, that can't be right. People can’t melt into shadows. Seconds later, I was proved wrong as three shadowy figures emerged from nothing. The air swirled, and the creatures just pulled themselves into blurry humanoid shapes. My mind was racing. This seemed personal. These shadow things seemed intent on attacking me. Now, a smart person would have run.Apparently, I’m not a smart person. I just stood shocked and still until a voice behind me spoke.“Well, that is interesting.”Swinging around to face the voice, I saw Haden. He didn’t seem the least bit scared of whatever these things were. He stepped forward and waved his hand through the first shadow creature. When it dissolved, like it was nothing more than a smoky figure of my imagination, I gasped. Haden chuckled to himself.“Come with me.” It wasn’t a question.When I didn’t answer, he continued. “I just want to take you somewhere safe.” As he stepped toward me, he seemed to age slightly. He now looked thirty-five instead of the t

Soon, Kelton returned wearing a t-shirt and sweats, and we were snuggled on the couch. He waited patiently for me to tell my story.“When I was twelve, Kiren and his friends knocked me out, tied me up, and threw me in an old abandoned cabin in the woods. Two days and nights they left me there. I didn’t see them during the day. They had school. But at night, they’d creep around-then leave me to revel in my new-found fear of the dark.”Kelton growled.“It was a long time ago, and I’m not saying that makes it OK, but he was only fourteen.”“That’s old enough to know better. Why are you defending him? He’s been horrible to you!”“I don’t know why I still instinctively defend him. And I know he has been horrible to me. I just feel like that’s not really him. Once upon a time, he was a wonderful brother. The best. I’ve seen how he is with everyone else, and I guess I just hope that one day we can have a normal relationship. I know that sounds stupid.”“It’s not stupid. You crave family. But

“I can still take you home - and if you stay we don’t have to do anything,” Kelton said, the light circles he was drawing on my thigh sending tingles of pleasure through me. My inner wolf was going crazy.“I don’t want to go home and I want you to do things… with me.” I wanted to slap myself for my awkwardness.Kelton smiled hungrily and I desperately wanted to kiss that knowing look on his face.A little squeal of surprise slipped out when he lifted me onto his lap like I weighed nothing. Despite the obvious, hard need I could feel beneath me, he acted calm and completely collected. “You’re sure you aren’t hurt, darling?” He brushed a stray strand of hair off my face and tucked it behind my ear. I loved that he cared so much.“I’m sure,” I whispered, his closeness was giving me goosebumps and making my mind spin.“I’m happy to go at your pace,” he murmured. I knew that and I appreciated it.Wrapping my arms around his neck, I leaned in and brushed my lips to his. Every inch of me was

“Patience, my darling. We’ve only just begun.” His fingers slid inside my panties, gently running up and down my slit. It felt amazing, but also awkward with the way he was watching my face for my reactions. He lurched up and captured my lips again. I actually whimpered when he pulled back. He grinned like I’d given him the best present ever. I’d have given him whatever the hell he wanted right then.Reaching my hand down, I desperately wanted to grab his dick and return the favor. I wanted to hear him hiss again at my touch. But he pulled back out of reach. I whined instinctively before I could stop myself.“All in good time,” he grinned wickedly.My fingers had brushed against the top of his penis. I was surprised to feel a little bead of cum there. Perhaps he was as ready to pop as I was. I didn’t know much about sex or men. As he kissed his way torturously slowly down the center of my body, I absentmindedly rubbed the stuff between my fingers, imagining if he would glide that smoot

I woke up the next morning to pleasurable ticking tingles flowing from my mates' fingers brushing my hips and his lips softly kissing my shoulder. The memories of last night echoing in my mind, adding more pleasurable endorphins to my system.“This is the best way to wake up,” I hummed.“Sorry I woke you. For a moment, when I first opened my eyes, I worried that it had all been a dream. That I was really just a lonely old man who imagined the perfect woman.”I snickered a little. “You are by far the most gorgeous, sexy man in existence. I struggle to imagine you as a lonely old man.”“You are still imagining I had a string of female friends to keep me company. But I didn’t. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done that.” I roll toward him; he takes a lock of my hair and plays with it gently.I don’t have any idea what to say, so I just lie there looking somehow both sheepish and smug. I’m the first since his mate. That little thought makes my heart soar. I know he’s told me that bef

Kelton stands frozen, but his eyes betray him. They speak volumes—regret, shame, and, strangely enough, fear. That can’t be right, can it? Fear. Shame. Regret. None of it fits the man I know.Reach into the bond. Maya’s voice cuts through my spiraling thoughts, sharp with irritation. My head throbs faintly from the force of her emotion, but I sense her frustration isn’t aimed at Kelton. It’s me. What did I do? The knot in my chest tightens, confusion twisting into hurt. Relationships are hard.Still, I obey. I close my eyes and focus, reaching inward for the bond that connects us. It’s difficult to describe—like chasing a glowing thread, spun from golden, wispy light. It’s intangible, impossible to truly grasp, but in my mind, I see it clearly. This thread, delicate yet unbreakable, ties our souls together. Pure magic. When I find it, I feel it, and somehow, I follow it.Outwardly, Kelton remains a picture of perfect composure: calm, controlled, and utterly unreadable. Usually. But th

And just like that the spell I’d been under for the last few months broke. It felt like all the self-confidence I’d built crumbled like a house of cards.He was just like my dad, my brother, and my mother: fickle, casually cruel.Before I even realized I was moving, I’d slammed the door behind me. The sound echoed in the quiet hallway, louder than expected. I didn’t stop to see if Kelton had followed— I couldn’t. My chest felt tight, my thoughts a chaotic mess of disbelief and hurt.How could he say that?Give him a chance, Maya stated.You’re supposed to be on my side! Maya had always been more adventurous and more extroverted than me, but we were still a pair. Our souls were joined. Not in the same way as the mate bond.My breath hitched in my throat as I wandered. It felt like I was choking on his words, on Maya’s betrayal, on my lack of oxygen. Everything.Lara, Maya’s voice was both scolding and hurt. I couldn’t deal with her emotional blackmail. I blocked her out, just like I bl

*** Lara ***Finally, everyone filed out of Tony’s office. “Hattie, would you lead Lara to our room for me, please?”My heart rate kicked up. Kelton usually called me darling. Was he distancing himself from me for his son’s sake? I mean, that made sense, we didn’t want to rub our bond in his face, but it still hurt.No, stop it, Lara. You are letting your ingrained insecurities rule you again.Kelton pulled me close and dropped a sweet kiss on my forehead, “I'll be right behind you, Darling.” Oh good, I was darling again. “I just want a quick word with my boy.”Awww, his boy. This man was so sweet. Even if said boy was a grown up man.“Of course.” Some time and space to set my head straight was a good idea anyway. I couldn’t keep reading into things and panicking like I had been all day today. I’d give myself a damn aneurysm.With the way you grew up, it’s understandable that you’re worried, Lara. Things have been going so wonderfully with Kelton that you’re paranoid something will go

Once I’d apologized to Tony for how I treated him, though not quite as many times as he’d apologized to me, the awkward tension in the room began to abate – slightly. There was still so much to unpack but it definitely felt like the worst was over. I no longer felt like I was single handedly responsible for destroying every one of Tony’s relationships.Finally, Kelton, who had been quiet for most of the meeting, spoke again. I had to give the man credit for his self control. Most mates would have interjected if their mate was facing off with an alpha, especially a perceived rival.Maturity for the win, Maya happily sighed.“I think we’ve accomplished a lot here tonight. It was hard for all of us, I’m sure. Anthony, I’m sorry Tony, I am still getting used to your name change. You’ve always been Anthony to me. I’m trying to respect your wishes. Old habits are hard to break. I wish we could have figured this mess out somewhere neutral, so we could have avoided the incident in the rec roo

*** Lara ***“Who would like to speak first?” Kelton asked, his voice a mask of calm. Yet, I could feel a palpable tension vibrating through our bond—a tension he surely felt from me as well.After a brief pause, it was evident that no one would voluntarily answer his question as the silence persisted. Every word I had uttered in the past half-hour seemed so incorrect, overly confrontational, overly defensive. I was determined to remain silent for now. In fact, I avoided even making eye contact with anyone, which explained my intense interest in the wood grain patterns of his desk. I doubted I could bear seeing any disapproval in any one of their expressions.“You said your mate was a slut and an omega,” Kilani growled, as if she just remembered it.Oh, hell no!“That’s how you described me?” I snapped, anger blazing in my eyes, finally looking straight at him. What a mega bastard. Damn it, so much for keeping my mouth shut.“I was angry and embarrassed about the rejection. I know tha

*** Tony ***F@ck, it’s her. A few months ago I would not have thought it possible to die from anxiety and happiness simultaneously, but for the second time in less than six months I thought my heart might literally explode.She found me.My mate.For the last few months, I’d fallen asleep every night swamped with chaotic mixed feelings. Prominent among them was regret. The mental image of that goddess as she moved on the dance floor, completely content to be alone, was burned into my brain. Unlike every other woman I’ve ever come across, she wasn’t trying to capture my attention, the alpha’s attention. I knew I was decent looking. I was also the strongest in my pack. But I wasn’t naive enough to think it was those qualities women wanted me for. In my experience, it was about my money and position rather than me. No, my goddess of a mate was effortlessly appealing. And since I'd never seen her before and she hadn’t even spotted me yet, she had no idea who I was. She wasn’t here lookin

Suddenly, two strong arms whipped around my waist and yanked me off the man I was still straddling, cowgirl style . Way to layer on that guilt. I squealed a little at the shock - yes, again - all flailing limbs, until I registered the tingles of the mate bond.Kelton.Sighing, I relaxed into his arms. His presence helped to cool my firing nerves and racing thoughts.“Darling. Love, are you alright?” His breathing rapid, his eyes quickly scanned my body for nonexistent injuries.“What the hell happened?” He growled that last bit to the room at large, but to no-one in particular, giving me a glimpse of the deadly alpha of legend. I’d never seen that side of him before. Frankly, scary Kelton was just as much a turn on as sweet Kelton.It’s poor timing, but it’s not wrong that you want to tear his clothes off, Maya hummed.I ignored that.For what felt like a few long minutes, no one spoke.“Love? Darling? What the hell are you talking about. Get your fucking hands off my mate! Dad.”“I’m

*** Lara ***One moment I was laughing at Charlie’s stories, and the next, a man dashed towards me and swept me into his arms. He moved so swiftly it was almost as if he teleported. Following an embarrassing involuntary squeal, I found myself breathless, and utterly bewildered.“You came back?” His voice sounded breathless and pleased, his gray eyes sparkled. People weren’t usually glad to see me, at least not until recently. Why was he glad to see me? That alone was hella suspicious.It took a moment for the shock to subside enough to realize that this was not my perfect, amazing Kelton. The hands gripping my upper arms were not his possessive, sexy as sin, ones. My Kelton could be rough, in a way that I enjoyed, but this was not the kind of toe curling domination that my mate was an expert in. Nope. This was completely wrong. This was someone else. Not just anyone though. This was my first mate.He was also holding on to my upper arms as if I might flee. Why was he touching me? Maya

Because, what?… You can protect her.… She’s your problem now.Bodie swears this shadow monster thing, as my Lara likes to call it, has never bothered her before.“He stressed to keep her close, help her feel safe, said he’ll explain it when he gets here,” I answered.“I always knew he was hiding something where she was concerned. Never made sense why they turned on her like they did. Could never figure it out though.” Keith mused, likely thinking of the few times he, Hattie, and Charlie visited them. “What are you thinking?” Keith demands, his gaze boring into mine.Damn, he knows me too well.“I think,” I pause a second, unsure how best to word this, “it seems there might be something within her that she’s unaware of. It’s as if she possesses some dormant witchcraft abilities herself, yet I sense there’s something deeper. Otherwise, Bodie would have simply informed me over the phone—no need for such secretive measures including a personal visit here with his whole family.”Curiously
