Chapter 7
"I'm glad I decided to take up your principal's offer to come teach your class"
"I'm glad you did too. But I'm curious, what would you have been doing had you not chose to take up the job?"
"That's actually an interesting question"
She waited for him to go on.
"With an even interesting answer" he said.
"Come on tell me" she urged.
"I was planning on writing my very first novel"
"That's amazing. What are you planning to write about?"
He smiled. I had a few ideas, for a mystery novel. Had even typed out plot lines to build a story. But I deleted them all this afternoon."
She looked horrified.
"Why?"
"Something changed. I met someone and then I decided I wanted to write a different story"
Kate couldn't help but lose herself for a moment. He was talking about her. She changed his mind about his initial story ideas. What in the world was he thinking of writing now.
"So what's this new story about?" she fished
"Enough about me. You can read it when I actually get to write and publish it. Now tell me more about you"
She didn't want to push it. He seemed rather hesitant talking about it so she decided to maybe bring it up some other time.
They ate, they laughed, and they opened up without holding back. Kate found it so easy to be with him, and he found that she was genuinely an extraordinary woman. He was falling for her hard and fast. She told him about her mom and dad; about how they were both lawyers and they worked most of the time. He told her that he owns a loft and that his mother lives with him.
He told her of all the degrees and courses he had done to get where he is today and it impressed her. She laughed at his jokes, and admired his charm. He was a man after her own heart and it was all too evident. He seemed genuinely interested in her and it made her heart sing.
He was driving her back now and two blocks before they reached her place, he stopped the car.
She looked at him with a sweet smile.
"I wish I could walk you to your door" he said.
"I wish you could do the same too" she said. He took her hand in his, and placed soft kisses against her knuckles. She watched how his lips reverently touched her skin, leaving shocks of electricity to run through her veins.
"But I don't think my parents are ready to know I'm seeing my professor"
He laughed "No no, I bet they aren't"
She chuckled, and he leaned in to kiss her, she closed the distance between their lips and kissed him back, their lips brushing gently against the others lips. It was slow, passionate, and coated with an unspoken emotion. There was something there that Kate knew they were both not ready to admit to, it was too soon to even think of such things. But she knew it was there none the less.
His hand was cradling her face as he kissed and he seemed to hold her so gently, so very beautifully. When he pulled away, her eyes were still closed.
"You can open your eyes Kate" and she did, only to find him smiling that charming, sweet smile of his.
"Would you say this one was as good as the one I gave you in class?"
"It keeps getting better" she said and leaned in again to claim his lips. She kissed him, and allowed him entrance between her lips. His tongue smoothed itself over hers and she found her entire body needing him so much. He was nibbling lightly on her lips alternatively and sucking on them lightly. His lips were silk against hers and she just never wanted to stop.
"How wrong is this?" she asked. "How wrong is it, that I'm here in your car, kissing you, not wanting to ever stop?"
"It breaks every rule in the book" he said.
Kate looked a little apprehensive. She looked down at his hand that was resting on her leg.
"Hey…" he tried to get her attention, and softly touched her chin to make her look at him "We'll figure something out okay"
She nodded. She believed him. They'd work something out. "I'll see you at class tomorrow?"
"Yes." He said with a smile. "I can't wait."
She kissed him goodbye and got out of the car. But before she turned to walk away, he said
"Kate, one more thing. We can't cause any suspicion during class, you have to understand, at college, I'm still your professor, I have to treat you like all of my other students during class, and you have to respect me as a professor."
"That goes without saying" she laughed
"I'm glad you understand, but I mainly brought this up because I don't want you staring at my ass while I'm teaching, it distracts me, makes me want you"
She bit down on her lip and smiled wickedly with her tongue between her teeth
"Anything else professor?"
"Yes, you aren't allowed to smile like that at me, with your teeth biting down on your lips and your tongue, also, no playing with your hair and especially, no walking into class late swaying your hips and flaunting your amazing legs"
"Wow" was all she said.
"What?"
"All these rules... what happens if I break them?"
"I don't need to tell you what happens to students who disobey"
He blew a fly kiss her way and with that smug smirk on his lips, he drove away. Kate ran her hand through her hair. How was she going to survive his antics?
After getting her keys out and letting herself in, she found that her parents were still up, watching the television
"Mom, dad, I'm home"
"Hey sweetie, come in here." she went in to the living room to find them seated together on the couch with a bowl of popcorn.
"Come join us, we're just 5 minutes into Runaway bride"
"As much as I love Julia Roberts mom, I think I'm going to skip this one. I'm just tired and I got an early start tomorrow"
"No problem sweetie. Go on upstairs, goodnight." Kate was a few steps up when her mom called out to her again "Katie, How's Brent?"
And for a moment she wondered why her mom was asking. And then she remembered she had told them she was meeting Brent. "Oh, he's good mom. Sent his regards too."
With that she ran up to her room, and dropped down on her bed. She smiled as the memory of their kiss in the car came back. Oh how she wanted to kiss him again. She wanted to feel those hands of his on her, on her body, she needed to feel if his lips felt as good on her skin as it did on her lips. There were so many things she was suddenly feeling the urge to do with him, that when his text appeared on her phone saying "I can't stop thinking about you", she went red in the cheeks.
They texted late into the night, not knowing that they were creating something strong between them and that it was only going to get more dangerous for both their careers.
