This is the updated second chapter. Its just undergone a minor facelift so it shouldn't be too different to what was written before. Again, reviews and constructive criticism are always welcome.

RPOV

I mentally screamed a prayer of thanks as the meeting finally finished and I sauntered off to meet Liss at the Coffee shop. If he hadn't of been so incredibly irresistible to look at and inherently sexy it would have been one of the most mundane meetings of my life!

All he did was make flippant comments about my tardiness, give me a list of tasks that he expects me to carry out along with a list of times he wants us to meet up each week to mark papers and discuss lectures and course content. I would have fallen asleep if his voice hadn't of sounded so captivating. I could listen to him read the phonebook with that slight hint of a russian accent.

"Rose!" Liss called out to me as I made my way into the coffee shop. I wanted to kiss her and hug her when I saw that she had already ordered my regular. I sat down in front of my plate which held two Donuts accompanied with a Large Cappuccino. I made a mental note that maybe I should start getting coffee before my now regular 7:30 am meetings. I decided against that idea once it occurred to me that I would have to get up even earlier to make that happen.

As I tucked into my meal I found my mind wondering back to Dimitri and how sexy he looked. Despite his apparent rudeness and contempt for me, I still longed to run my hands through that silky hair and imagined his hands running over my body in a possessive but sexy and sinful way. "Stop it!" I thought to myself. I can't have thoughts like that about the man who is for all intents and purposes my boss. I was also slightly embarrassed at myself for feeling this turned on before 9 am!

"Rose? Rose!" Lissa kept calling out.

"hmm?" I responded with my mouth still full of donut as I pulled myself out of my warring mind full of wanton thoughts about Dimitri.

"Are you ok? You just kind of completely clocked out for a moment there. It was pretty funny. You kind of reminded me of when Christian has to sit through one of my movie choices on movie night." She giggles as she said it.

I scowled at her statement remarking "As if I share any looks in common with your boyfriend firecrotch" before returning back to inhaling my breakfast.

"Ok don't get you're thong in a twist over it! How was you meeting this morning?" Lissa continued. I went on to tell her that I had a different lecturer for the semester and we talked about Dr Karp's pretty sudden departure but for some reason I chose not to mention anything about Dimitri other than his name. I don't think I wanted to share my guilty indulgence of imagining how awesome in bed he would be with anyone else. I almost snorted out loud having stunned myself with the mental images of picturing that God completely ravishing my body.

With the lasting feeling of heat pooling in my abdomen once again having been a parting gift of that last mental picture, I knew that it was obviously going to be a long day.


DPOV

After the temptress of a teaching assistant sauntered out of the room I let out a breath I had no idea I had been holding in. I remember Sonja telling me that I would have a very promising new assistant this semester, I guess she forgot to tell me just how lovely she would be.

I let my mind wander back to her appearance remembering the bow lips painted red, her tan complexion accompanied by light brown eyes and the most amazing hair I had ever seen tumbling in cascades down her back falling to her waste. I almost shuddered to think about her petit body with those curves! She looked athletic but she most definitely had curves in all the right places.

I tried to remember the last time a woman had stirred this kind of desire in me. Not even Tasha whom I had almost married had stirred this kind of hunger with in me. I felt unsettled by these feelings and they had thrown me off balance in more ways than one.

I remember my embarrassment at realising how long I had been staring(more like salivating) at her after she burst into the room and I almost recoiled when I thought about my cold demeanour towards Rose which I had retained for the rest of the meeting. It was the only way I could have made it through the meeting without throwing all my moral and ethical principles out the window.

My insides were at war over the exotic beauty. One part of me was screaming 'She's 22 you're fine! Let's go for it!' while the other part, the reasonable and controlled part of him continued to chastise me for even daring to set eyes on a student in that way. He was really in a war of the mind over this girl.

I was a little surprised at my own suggestion that we meet each morning for it certainly wasn't necessary but I think that we will keep to the morning meetings for the meantime. Seeing as it is her first time assisting for a subject it might help her in preparation for the first few weeks at least. Although, it certainly seemed like they might get out of control if she did too many more of those cat stretch like yawns or pouts her lips in that cute way she did when I made that remark about her tardiness. She was dangerous to me in a way that she wasn't even aware of.

Oh yes I'm in for a long semester.
