Sebastian and Adeline stood facing each other, the tension between them palpable, heavy with unspoken emotions and unresolved conflicts that had lingered for far too long.Neither spoke; their eyes locked in a silent understanding that seemed to convey a thousand unuttered thoughts and feelings.Sebastian's hands lingered in his pockets, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against his thighs.Adeline's fingers intertwined, her gaze drifting to the floor before snapping back to Sebastian's face.Their gazes drifted, met again, and held, the connection between them crackling with an almost palpable energy."Professor McClone said you were looking for me." Sebastian asked, his voice low and measured.Adeline's cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink, embarrassment dancing across her features like a butterfly."I...I just wanted to apologize," she stammered, her words tumbling forth in a hesitant cadence."For what?" Sebastian's curiosity piqued, his eyes narrowing slightly.Adeline's eyes

Sebastian's hands grasped Adeline's waist, lifting her onto the nearby table. His movements were fluid, effortless, as if he'd done this a thousand times before.Adeline's eyes fluttered closed, her breath catching in her throat. She felt the cool surface of the table beneath her, but it was Sebastian's touch that set her ablaze.His fingers traced the curves of her legs, his palms sliding up her thighs. The gentle caress sent shivers down her spine, and Adeline's thoughts began to unravel.Sebastian's lips brushed against her neck, sending sparks flying through her veins. His mouth left a trail of kisses, each one igniting a fire that spread through her body.Adeline's head tilted back, her moans escaping into the silence. The sound was barely audible, but Sebastian's response was immediate.His hands roamed her body, caressing every inch. His touch was possessive, claiming her as his own. Adeline's fingers intertwined with his, her nails digging into his skin.As Sebastian's kisses

Sebastian lectured on 19th-century European literature, his eyes scanning the classroom as he analyzed the themes of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary.Adeline sat in the front row, her gaze fixed intently on him. Her fingers traced the curves of her lips with a subtle seductiveness that wasn't lost on him. Sebastian's gaze flickered to her, his eyes locking onto hers with a silent warning.For a moment, they held each other's gaze, the tension between them palpable. Adeline's eyes sparkled mischievously, her lips curling into a sly smile. Her hand drifted to her neck, her fingertips caressing the sensitive skin with a gentle touch that sent a shiver down Sebastian's spine.Sebastian's jaw clenched, his voice remaining steady as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Flaubert's exploration of the human condition, particularly the monotony and desires of provincial life, resonates deeply with readers." His eyes darted back to Adeline, his gaze burning with a mixture of desire and warn

Adeline walked out of Sebastian's office hours, her backpack slung over her shoulder, and stepped into the bustling college hallway. Students rushed past, chatting and laughing, as she made her way through the crowd.Nathan, heir to Pembroke Industries, leaned against a nearby locker, watching Adeline with an intensity that made her uncomfortable. His eyes, piercing blue, seemed to bore into her soul."Hey, Adeline," Nathan called out, pushing off the locker. "Want to grab coffee with me? I heard that new café on campus just opened."Adeline quickened her pace, but Nathan fell into step beside her. "I'm busy, Nathan. And we've been over this—I'm not interested."Nathan's smile faltered, his jaw tightening. "I know why you keep blowing me off," he said, his voice low and accusatory. "You're hooked on that history professor, Sebastian Wellesley, aren't you?"Adeline's eyes narrowed, her stride lengthening. "What makes you think that?"Nathan snorted. "Everyone on campus is talking about

Benjamin knocked softly on Adeline's door before entering. "Let's go; I'm taking you to the hospital."Adeline's eyes narrowed, her grip on the bedsheet tightening. "I don't need to go."Benjamin's brow furrowed. "You were vomiting, Adeline. You need medical attention."Adeline's voice remained firm. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone."Benjamin stepped closer. "Don't be ridiculous, sis. You need help."Adeline's defenses flared. "I'm not a child, Benjamin! Stop treating me like one."Benjamin's expression softened. "I just want to help."Adeline's anger boiled over. "For God's sake, stop! I can take care of myself."With a fierce determination, Adeline tossed off the covers and stormed out of the room, leaving Benjamin stunned."Adeline!" Benjamin called after her.But she was gone, the door slamming shut behind her.Benjamin's concern deepened."What's going on with her?" he wondered.Little did he know, Adeline's secrecy hid a potentially explosive truth.******************************
