All Chapters of MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Did I do something wrong? Talk to me.” Jared spoke gently, turning so he could face me directly.“It’s not you, it’s me.” His face morphed into one of incredulity.“I don’t mean it like that.” I chuckled despite how I’d felt earlier.“How do you mean?” He moved closer to me but kept enough distance that I didn’t feel suffocated. I took a deep breath and lifted up my tank top to show him what I meant.I was very conscious about my scar but showing it to him meant I trusted him.“Your surgery?” I could see it in his eyes that he wanted to touch it. I nodded. My scars were over 3 years and I shouldn’t be scared of it.I took off my tank top and his eyes widened.“Can I?” His gaze remained fixed on my stomach and his hands rose up to touch the scar.I took a deep breath and nodded. The moment I felt his fingers trail the long ugly scar, I felt a sense of warmth envelop me. His fingers trailed higher to where the scar stopped behind my back. I turned my back to him to allow him access to

I didn’t want to lie, not after she’d shared an important part of her life with me. “Yeah. I’m actually seeing someone.” I looked at her with uncertainty in my eyes. “Oh…” She looked back up. “So far you’re happy, that’s really all that matters.” I placed an arm around her and pulled her into a tight hug. She had understood with one look at me that it wasn’t something I could talk about, no matter how much I wanted to. “Thank you.” “Why?” She teased. She knew exactly why. I pushed her slightly. “Let’s go.” She jumped off the boot, laughing alongside me. “Yeah.” It was already very dark and I had class the next day. ***Ashley had been giving me attitude all week and valentine’s day was approaching. I wasn’t really expecting anything but the atmosphere had become so condensed with sexual tension lately that I felt people would start making out in classes with the stares that went from one sex to the opposite. “I heard Professor Deric had to leave his office door open because he

I pulled Kol along with me, hoping he hadn’t seen the surprise yet.“What’s going on?” Jared spoke behind me, worry lacing his tone. I rolled my eyes at his impatience. We were almost there.“Just…” Feeling him resist my pull, I blew out an exasperated breath.“tada!” I turned on the switch and looked at him, watching his expression slowly morph into surprise.“How…?” He looked back at me, a small smile on his face. A blush crept up my cheeks as he approached me, lifting me up on the table. His lips found mine, entangling me in a passionate embrace.“Well, I remembered how much you like game of thrones. It took me a while to get a miniature game of thrones set and the lego set.” I rubbed the back of my head nervously, thinking of how much it cost me and how long it took me. Alyssa had just suggested I do something that would be special only to him and not the generic stuff. It now got me worried on what I could do for his birthday, if we were still together by then. I wanted us to be

Jared’s fork dropped from his hands at my fowardness. I was pretty sure my eyes were as wide as saucers and deep enough to hold coffee.I cleared my throat and stood up in embarrassment, taking my plate to the sink. If I was being frank, I wasn't exactly sure why we hadn't done the deed yet.Was I doing something wrong? We'd done everything else, and it bothered me that he wouldn't have sex with me.I dropped the dish in the sink and turned to look at him."Why won't you h...hmmn." His lips shut me up before I knew what was happening. I hadn't seen the kiss coming, neither had I expected the fervour it came with. I sagged against him, letting him ravish me in every possible way. My hands found the back of his neck to pull him down and deepen the kiss. He pulled back slightly to look at me. I could see the wealth of emotions swirling in his eyes, and I gulped, hoping I could handle them."You were saying?" He pulled my bottom lip and bit hard on it. I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I didn't want to leave, but the weekend was already over and classes would be back on by Monday.Vanessa coming around meant one thing. Careful vigilance. She might not think I'm a student or his student, but I'd be stupid to think she wouldn't come back or get curious about me.I needed to keep my head down for as long as I could, which meant going to Jared's place was a no, for now, at least. The drive back home was bitter-sweet. Usually, Jared would drive me to a walkable distance back to my room, but we couldn't even risk that.I picked up my phone and tried Becka. I missed her so much, and she hadn't been picking up my calls. I dropped the phone from my ear. Her line had been disconnected. A sense of dread gnawed at me, and I just had to what I should have done all the while.I called her mum.The line rang multiple times, but there was no answer. Maybe they didn't want me in their life anymore. To be honest, it seemed like my fault, and I didn't blame them if they didn't want
