Preview from Chemistry:
She was about to lean out to hiss to him that the coast was clear when he stepped swiftly into the open doorway from her left, right up into her personal space.
"Shit!" she smacked at him, stumbling back. "Why do you have to be such a fucking creeper?"
"Mmm … Is this what you're wearing today?" he asked, a low hum of appreciation rumbling deep in his throat as he fingered the silky material of the bright pink robe.
Forgetting herself for a moment, she angled unconsciously into his touch, practically purring when he slipped his hands inside the lapels and ran them down the gentle curves from breast to hip beneath her robe, "Oh, god, babe. I can't stand it. What is this?"
"Chemistry," he barked, smothering a laugh, dipping his chin to rub the stubble over her bare shoulder as the robe slipped down another inch.
Moaning, she shook with desire in his arms, the pull was so strong, "If you keep touching me like that-"
"We'll both lose our heads," he whispered, his lips a hair's breadth from hers, their foreheads touching in the only show of intimacy they would allow themselves before the diplomas were handed out later that day.
He had just enough willpower to pull back, apologizing, "I'm sorry. Coming here beforehand was a mistake. We-" he cut himself off, swearing. "This is what we agreed to—for both our sakes. I'll-" he sighed reluctantly, whispering, "I'll see you this afternoon."
She grasped just the tips of his fingers as he crossed the threshold in a silent, if all-too-brief farewell. He squeezed them in return and slipped through the door, quietly pulling it to behind him.
Just before he closed it—his eyes trained on the ground to avoid further temptation—he murmured, glancing up at her from beneath lowered lashes, "You look beautiful today. You always do."
You can find this one-shot already posted under its own title on my profile. I opted to post it as a stand-alone due to the extreme M rating for this one.
