My first Aria/Ezra fanfic! ENJOY LOVELIES :)

Aria Montgomery was no ordinary girl.

Mature well beyond her seventeen years. She was clever, friendly, exceptionally beautiful and occasionally at times, like right now for instance: a little oblivious. As she sat quietly in her seat in the middle of the third row and inspected her slightly chipped dark purple nail polish, she remained completely ignorant to the longing gazes and frenzied whispers of the row of guys who sat behind her and made noises at her like a cage of zoo animals.

"Hey Aria," One of them shouted out. "Hey baby,"

Aria let out a breathy sigh. If she had bothered to remember his name from the roll call she might have turned around and given him a piece of her mind; but she wasn't about to waste her breath on a boy who probably had fewer brain cells than the cup of steaming mocha that sat on her desk. Aria let her fingers run through her black, silky hair a few times before resting them in her lap while she waited for class to begin. It was three-fifteen Aria realized as she checked the time on her phone, the class should have begun by now.

Today was her first day at Hollis College and she was desperate to make a good impression.

Aria had dreamed about being a writer since she was eight years old, and Hollis boasted one of the best and most exclusive writing and English programs in the country. It seemed like just the place to make her fantasy a reality. Aria technically still had six months left of senior year to go, but her father who was the head of Hollis' English program, had insisted that she let him secure her a place in Hollis' head start program. Aria would be treated just as any freshman student would. She was expected to complete all the necessary study and assignments for her class and could graduate early as long as her high school work didn't suffer and she kept her grades up.

"Good afternoon class, I pray that you will give me your full attention right now, despite my terrible tardiness, not a great first impression I know,"

Aria's dark eyes shot straight up to the front of the room at the sound of the deep and masculine voice. Her breath caught painfully in her chest as she took in the man who had just addressed the class. He couldn't have been any older than twenty five, she thought. He had dark hair, a shade or two lighter than her own that was cut and styled in a way that somehow managed to be both professional and sexy at the same time. His bright blue eyes surveyed the class with a mix of excitement and awe; he looked completely in his element. Aria sat up perfectly straight and thrust her ample chest out as his beautiful eyes came to rest on her porcelain face. What she hadn't expected was a look that burned like a bright flame behind his eyes. It was a look that Aria had come accustomed to, from boys and older men alike. Lust. It seemed that her new English teacher wouldn't be immune to his beautiful student. She swallowed, hard, and her heart beat like a hummingbird in her chest. Never had any man or any guy, for that matter, produced such a reaction from her, especially not from just a mere look.

He cleared his throat, and looked away, finally breaking the trance that they had both been trapped in.

"My name is Ezra Fitz and I will be your teacher this year. I look forward to getting to know you all and I will do my very best to remember all of your names, but please bear with me. I'll take attendance now if that's alright,"

He finished as he reached for the top folder on a stack of files on his desk.

"Ms. Bunton already took attendance," Called out monkey boy from behind me. "At the start of the class,"

Mr Fitz glanced up from his stack of papers with a crooked grin on his face.

"Humor me, Mr-"

"Williamson,"

Mr Fitz nodded and marked it off. He didn't seem like the petty type who would continue with pointless banter with a distracting student, he wanted to get straight into the lesson plan. He continued with the roll, the other letters of the alphabet flew by, that was until he reached the 'M's'.

"Aria Montgomery,"

Aria wet her lips and smiled straight at him. She realized that the more that he looked over her face and body with that sexy stare of his, the more she wanted him to keep doing it. His eyes darted over her with interest, as though he was savoring her in her entirety and storing it away in his mind for later.

"Present,"

He looked up and their eyes locked again, Aria could feel the passion bounce back and forth between them, but before either one of them could really lose themselves in the moment; he had nodded his head stiffly and continued with the attendance, his back to her. Aria felt satisfied that after the look that he had just given her, he wouldn't be forgetting her name anytime soon.

"We will begin today by looking at the lesson plan, and then we'll dive right into the first chapter of a classic story of passion, temptation and love-"

The sound of Mr Fitz's honey smooth voice was interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing and was met with a frustrated sigh from the female half of the class, who were more than likely imagining their own classic love story starring themselves and Ezra Fitz. The last two hours had flown by. Aria slid out of her seat and slung her black studded handbag over her shoulder. Her stomach growled with hunger, but her cream Volkswagen beetle was parked on the curb outside her house, her father had dropped her off but couldn't pick her up until late, and she didn't think that she'd be able to wait until then without having a quick bite to eat first.

"Mr Fitz-"

She said as she approached his desk, she was the only person left in the room. He looked up immediately, obviously recognizing her tell-tale sultry voice.

"I was wondering if you wanted to grab an early dinner with me,"

Mr Fitz swallowed inaudibly; he looked as though he was fighting the urge to look her up and down. Aria found it harder and harder to breathe. She had never been so impulsive in all her life.

"That's very kind of you to offer Miss Montgomery, but I have a lot of marking to do and I can't leave until it's done-"

Aria cocked her head to the side, her dark eyes skimming over his arms and shoulders as he stared down at his papers and corrected them with red ink. He had a slim, but muscular build and she could just faintly make out the lines of his strong biceps that were hidden under his sky blue button down shirt. It matched his stunning eyes and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, showing off his impressive forearms. In that moment she wanted nothing more than for him to be on top of her, to run her hands and fingernails up his bare back and feel those muscles tensing as he kissed her neck with reckless abandon.

"Marking? It's your first day; surely they won't mind if you fall a little behind. I know a little hole in the wall place that has the best burgers in town,"

Aria insisted as she tried to hide her disappointment. She knew that she sounded a little desperate but she wanted Mr Fitz to see her as Aria, potential lover and not as Miss Montgomery, the high school student with a pointless crush. Aria never saw anything as pointless, and Mr Fitz was a challenge that she was more than happy to take on. Aria bit down on her plump bottom lip and slid her ass onto the edge of Mr Fitz' desk, her legs dangling only inches from his lap. She had no idea where all this new found confidence had come from.

"I could really use the help actually. I was too embarrassed to ask in front of everyone, but I think that I could really use the extra attention. I don't want to fall behind the older students."

Aria knew that it was wrong to take advantage of his kind and helpful nature, but if it was the only way to get what she wanted then she would do whatever it took. He seemed to be considering her offer, but Aria decided to give him a push in the right direction.

"How about I bring the food back here then?"

Mr Fitz laughed and rubbed his pen back and forward between his hands. He had really big hands, immediately Aria's mind began to wander. He was so beautiful that it made it next to impossible to stop herself from imagining his godlike body in all its naked glory. Mr Fitz slid his chair back and stood up, Aria did the same. Their bodies were so close that they could feel the warmth that was radiating off one another, the moment was too intimate for a student and her teacher, but neither one of them moved. He towered over her; the top of her head just barely reached his shoulder when she was wearing flats. She felt as though he could lift her into his arms, or wrap her long legs around his waist with hardly any effort from him at all. From the intense dazed look in his eyes, she felt that maybe he was thinking the exact same thing.

"Perhaps you should go home Miss-"

He said flatly, the moment was broken. But before he could finish Aria had interrupted him by insisting that he call her by her first name.

"I can't just go home, I live across town and I don't have my car here."

Aria said loudly, Mr Fitz just looked at her with his mouth slightly agape. Aria knew that she was getting impatient with him, but she wanted nothing more than for him to come to her, even if that meant backing off a little when her plan wasn't working. She glanced back over at him to find him still staring at her, as though he was trying to decipher if she was lying or not. He let out a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair; it looked as soft as silk and Aria wanted to run her fingers through it.

"I can drive you, if you'd like."

Aria nodded gratefully and followed him as he weaved his way through the hallways and out into the faculty car park.

"I promise not to make this a habit,"

Aria said with a small smile as he unlocked the car's doors. A small smile tugged at his lips and a laugh threatened to fall from his lips but he held that in too.

"It's quite alright Aria, I don't mind and it gets me out of marking for a few minutes,"

He said with a small smirk, as he slipped the key into the ignition. Aria crossed and uncrossed her legs, her tight jeans hugged her thighs and she caught him looking for a second too long as she typed her address into his GPS. She ran her tongue over her lips and he stared at her, transfixed, his every nerve painfully alert until he cleared his throat and pulled on his seat belt, his eyes focused on the road ahead. Aria did the same, a million questions running through her mind. Was he married? Because he didn't wear a ring, but you could never be sure. Did he have a girlfriend? And if he did, then why did he keep looking at her with that devouring look in his eyes.

"Do you have a girlfriend Mr Fitz?"

Aria waited for his answer. If he did would he break up with his girlfriend to be with her? It was clear to Aria that even after just meeting they had chemistry, they hadn't even touched each other yet but the sparks that flew back and forth between the two of them were too strong to ignore. He shot a fleeting glance over at Aria. She could see that he wasn't very happy with the choice of questions she was asking. He did however, nod. Just once and it was over so quickly that if Aria had blinked she would have missed it altogether.

"Have you been together long?"

Aria asked aloud. She had really meant to keep that second question to herself, but she was far too curious to resist.

"This isn't a very appropriate student, teacher conversation Aria,"

Aria shrugged her shoulders delicately and looked back over at Mr Fitz, awaiting his answer. Aria didn't care about being appropriate; if that was the case then she would have gone after someone her own age. But that wasn't what she was interested in. She was interested in a man. A man called Ezra Fitz who could hold a decent conversation, who was polite and well versed, who could hold her in his arms and take her to new heights and excite every part of her body.

"It's just a question,"

Aria said with another shrug of her shoulders. The temperature in the car was sweltering and Aria slipped her black leather jacket off of her shoulders and put it at her feet. She pulled her hair away from her neck and fanned her face.

"One that you shouldn't be asking your teacher, why would you ask me that Aria?"

He asked as he pulled the car over to the side of the road, flicked on the air conditioning and looked over at Aria with concern. Aria closed her dark eyes and opened them slowly. She was already tired of him refusing her, and she didn't know how much longer she could remain calm and in control when she wanted nothing more than to unclick her seatbelt and slide onto his lap. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat; her black lace panties were getting wetter and wetter just at the thought. Maybe that would answer his question.

"Because maybe I'm interested in you Ezra, because maybe I've never been more attracted to anyone in my entire life and because you make me think about things, that until I saw you today I hadn't ever considered before, like sex with an older man-"

Ezra stared back at her with panic stricken eyes, he looked in shock, and his blue eyes were wide like a deer caught in the headlights. He looked like he wanted nothing more than to kick her out of his car and pretend like she hadn't said what she'd said. But since that wasn't a feasible option, she knew that he would at the very least drown his sorrows and try to forget what had just been confessed to him.

"Five years, my girlfriend Jackie and I have been together five years – since college"

"She must really be something special,"

"She is,"

Aria wanted to know what his girlfriend had that she didn't have. Aria was about to open her mouth to protest when the GPS beeped, alerting them that they had arrived at their destination – her house. Aria unclicked her seatbelt and leant over the center console, the dip in her black top leaving little to the imagination as she looked up at him through her thick, black eyelashes. He really was too gorgeous to be real.

"Thank you for the ride Ezra, I'll see you tomorrow,"

She said smoothly as she craned her neck and pressed a kiss to his cheek, another inch to the left and she would have hit his lips… but she was now, more than ever determined to have him come to her first. He needed to see that she could be whatever he wanted and that one way or another she was going to be that woman for him.
