The Cost Of Desire

The Cost Of Desire

Desire turns the most dangerous lesson among the knowledge and power centers. Fabian Fernandez arrived at college intent on keeping his head down, preserving his scholarship, and creating a life outside the gates of his university. Focus becomes more difficult to sustain, however, when he starts Dr. Tobias Reyes's literature class. Tobias is brilliant, remote, and inaccessible until late nights and snatched moments turn boundaries into attraction. Starting as mentorship, it turns into something neither can ignore. But secrets don't remain buried in an elite university. Whispers become rumors; someone is observing, ready to exploit their prohibited link as leverage. Fabian has everything to lose. Tobias has already survived one scandal that nearly killed him. They have to determine now if their relationship merits the risk of revelation or if the price of loving one another is too expensive.

Chapter: Chapter 13: Fabian's POV
Fabian's POV Electricity shot up my spine as my lips touched his. Was this what our first time kissing felt like?I waited for a minute, waiting for him to push me back and yell at me for kissing him but it didn't come. I began to move and he slowly reciprocated the kiss.I opened my mouth wider for him, allowing him suck on my tongue. It felt really good, I have never felt this way. I can feel my pants tightening. He tasted like alcohol and chocolate mixed together. Enough proof to tell me that the both of us aren't in our right state of mind.His hand went to my neck, pressing my head more into him as if that was possible. He suddenly pushed me back as a lewd sound slipped out of me inside his mouth.I was too breathless to question him immediately, my eyes were drowsy as well. After managing to fill my lungs with enough air, I glanced towards him.He was pacing around the balcony and seemed to be muttering something I couldn't catch under his breath.What am I supposed to say to

Chapter: Chapter 12: Fabian's POV
Fabian's POV I stood by the balcony, a drink in hand and staring at the view ahead of me. I was currently at the Chancellor's birthday party.I never wanted to come but Daniel convinced... No, he persuaded me to come. And now, I'm out here standing on the balcony instead of being inside, partying with the others.Why? I felt like I didn't belong there. The students, teachers were all dressed in elegant clothes. And here I'm in a shirt that I had owned since two years ago paired with faded jeans."Maybe I should have just stayed back at the dorm." I muttered, taking a swig of the alcohol and continued staring."Why are you here, all by yourself?" I heard someone asked from behind me and that voice sounds remarkably like Daniel's."Nothing, just taking in air." I replied without glancing back."Are you okay?" He asked, now standing by my side."Yeah, just feeling a little bit out of place." I chuckled."How do you mean?" He asked."I don't know, maybe because they aren't students on sc

Chapter: Chapter 11- Tobias POV
Tobias POV"She wants to see you." Julia said, slumping down on my couch."Who?" I pretended not to know who she was talking about."You know who I'm talking about, Tobs. She has been asking of you a lot lately." She replied."Well, I don't want to see her now." I groaned."Why? She is your mother, Tobs. You can't avoid her.""Yes, I know that and I'm not planning on avoiding her. But she wouldn't stop trying to set me up with her friend's daughter." I said, dropping the papers I was grading beside me on the couch."Oh, that's what this is about. Why don't you just tell her you don't like the girl?" Julia suggested and I rolled my eyes at her words."You think I haven't done that? She believes we are soulmates since we grew up together." I scoffed. "And she is trying to blackmail me that the girl has been waiting for me for years.""I don't think she is waiting though." Julia muttered. "I'm sure I saw her with a man, was it last week and it didn't look like they were just friends." A

Chapter: Chapter 10- Fabian's POV
Fabian's POV"When are you going to send the money?" I read the message in my head and almost threw my phone across the room.It was a message from my mom, she only ever texts when she needs something from me. Never to check up on me. Never to ask me how I'm surviving in a country and school totally foreign to me. I dropped the phone on the bed instead, choosing to ignore her.I know she will text again but maybe by then I would have saved enough money that she requested."Are you okay, dude?" Daniel asked, definitely he has noticed the change in my expression."Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to read and get to bed." I replied, already standing up from the bed and walking in the direction of my back pack."Are you sure?" He asked again. "Because, I could have sworn you looked like you saw a ghost when you glanced at your phone.""Is it your mom?" He continued."How did you know?" I asked, glancing back and aching an eyebrow at him."She is the only one that turns your mood sour." He shr

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Fabian's POV
Fabian's POV "Can I kiss you?"The question still lingered in the air, none of us saying a word. We stared at each other for a few minutes before I decided to break the silence."You didn't respond." I said softly, breaking our eye contact and glancing at the floor."Are you insane Fabian? How can you ask me to kiss you? I'm your professor for christ sake." He growled."It was just a simple question, you could have chosen to answer with a no." I mumbled under my breath but he heard it."Excuse me?" He asked, confused.Even though I am shocked at myself for this profound confidence, am I truly insane? Random me would have been too shy to ask him about the kiss talk more, of if I could kiss him again."Leave my office Mr Fernandez." He barked.My chest tightened at the use of my last name, we were back to being professional, I ruined the ounce of hope I had.Hope? Hope for what exactly?Why did I ask him to kiss me? I should have been disgusted when he confirmed that we kissed. I mean

Chapter: Chapter Eighth: Fabian's POV
Fabian's POV “You know I love you, come on.”The books in my hand dropped at that, dropping with a loud thud. Damn, I'm bursted."Who is there?" They both say from inside.You need to get your acts together Fabian, you are just here for the extra lesson and not to listen in on their conversation if you are asked."Fabian?" Dr. Reyes called out confusion evident in his tone. I raised my head up, in time to meet his questioning gaze."Dr. Reyes." I breathed out."I'm here for the extra lesson and not to..." I quickly shut myself up as I was about to disclose the real reason I was there."Right. Come in." He replied, opening the door wider for me to step in.. I picked up my books and stepped into his office, closing the door behind me."We meet again." His girlfriend said, looking at me with a smile."Have you met him before?" Dr. Reyes asked her and she nodded. "We bumped into each other in the hall and he directed me to your office." She replied."Since we meet again, allow me to intr
