All Chapters of The Professor's Second Chance Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Just a few minutes after the encounter, my lovely mate, Lara, emerged from behind a nearby maple tree. I had seen her earlier, and I knew she would come over when she felt ready. What caught my attention was that during my conversation with Chloe, the leaves on the tree behind Lara had rapidly changed colors from bright green to yellow, then to fiery red and brown. A few leaves even fell off the tree. However, the tree’s leaves reversed back to their original bright green when Chloe walked away, almost as if the tree was responding to Lara’s emotions. From where she was standing, with the aid of her wolf’s enhanced hearing, she would have heard everything.I was surprised by this magical phenomenon, but it seemed that Lara hadn’t even noticed it. Thankfully, very few others did either. It all happened so quickly that I assumed, I hoped, people would assume they imagined it.A wolf with elemental powers? Perhaps she had dormant witch blood in her line. I needed to have another conversat

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

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

“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

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
