Sloane POV

I woke to sunlight spilling across the small dorm room, warm and harmless on the surface but impossible to ignore. I was curled up on Lila’s bed, blanket twisted around my shoulders, hair damp with tears. Last night had left me shaking and hollow, and Lila had insisted I stay in her room instead of trudging back to my empty room.

The room smelled faintly of lavender and coffee, the latter courtesy of Lila, who had already been up for an hour. She hadn’t touched me, hadn’t pressed fo

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   77 - Epilogue

    Sloane POV—Five years had a way of passing in the blink of an eye, yet in the quiet moments, they felt endless. For Dalton and I, life had settled into a rhythm that was both hectic and blissfully perfect.The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains of our cozy home, catching on soft golden hair that belonged to a small, giggling toddler bouncing in her crib. Jade was now four, and already showing the perfect mix of her parents’ personalities, My curiosity and sassiness, Dalton’s stubborn determination, and both of our hearts.I leaned over the crib, brushing a stray curl from Jade’s face. “Good morning, princess,” I whispered, planting a soft kiss on my daughter’s forehead. Jade responded with a delighted squeal, stretching her tiny arms toward her mother.Dalton emerged from the kitchen, cup of coffee in hand, a warm smile spreading across his face when he saw us. “I take it someone’s awake early today,” he said, his voice low but playful. Jade’s giggle only grew louder, an

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   76 - Wedding Bells

    Sloane POV—Wedding planning had been a whirlwind, but with me at the center, it felt more like magic than chaos. Between me, Lila, and Rhea, every detail was discussed, debated, and meticulously perfected. Lila buzzed around like an excited whirlwind, throwing ideas and color palettes everywhere, while Rhea, ever the perfectionist, insisted on precise measurements and flower placements.One evening, I called them both into the apartment, nerves twisting in my stomach. I had a very important question to ask, and I wanted it to be perfect.“Okay,” I began, my voice trembling just slightly. “I need to ask you two something important.”Lila leaned forward, eyebrows raised. “Yes?”“I want you both to be my bridesmaids,” I said, forcing a calm smile. “But Lila…” I paused dramatically. “I want you to be my maid of honor.”Lila’s eyes went wide, and she practically squealed. “Do you know what this means?” she shrieked, barely containing herself. “I get to boss everyone around, plan the bach

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   75 - 4th of July

    Sloane POV—I couldn’t stop smiling, even hours later.Dalton had confessed the “surprise party that wasn’t supposed to be revealed,” followed by Rhea bursting into the bedroom ten minutes later, red-faced and apologizing so hard she nearly tripped over her own words.“I thought she knew!” Rhea insisted, hands flailing. “I literally told you she didn’t,” Dalton said, exasperated. Rhea gasped. “I completely forgot!”I hugged her before Dalton’s eye could twitch off his face. “It’s okay,” I laughed. “I’ll still be surprised, I promise.”Rhea beamed, instantly forgiven. She gave Dalton a look of… maybe relief? And quickly looked away with a smile.By the time we arrived at Marc’s lake house, if you could call a three-story architectural masterpiece with glass walls and a wraparound deck a “house,” my nerves fluttered with excitement. And not just for the party. Dalton had laced our fingers together the entire drive, thumb brushing circles on my skin like he was committing the shape of m

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   74 - Mornings at Home

    Sloane POV—The room was still warm when everything slowed again, the kind of soft, quiet warmth that always followed the moments Dalton let himself fall apart with me.I lay against him, one leg draped over his, my cheek resting on his chest where his heartbeat thudded slow and steady. He hadn’t said much since we collapsed into the pillows, only gentle breaths and the occasional swipe of his thumb along the inside of my arm.I loved the way he touched me after, unhurried, reverent, like he was memorizing me all over again.I closed my eyes and let myself sink into it. “You okay?” I whispered, my voice still a little breathless.Dalton hummed, the sound deep in his chest. “More than okay.”I smiled against his skin, feeling the vibration of his voice under my cheek. “Good.”We stayed like that for a while. No talking. No rush. Just the soft rhythm of his fingers tracing patterns on my back and the slow rise and fall of his breathing beneath me. I could tell something was on his mind

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   73 - A Year Later

    Sloane POV—A year and a half later…The air smelled of spring and new beginnings. Sunlight poured over the university courtyard, glinting off rows of black caps and gowns. I could barely feel my feet touch the ground as I stood among my classmates, the world a blur of cheers, camera flashes, and laughter.When my name was called, the sound of Dalton’s voice cheering above the crowd made my smile widen. I stepped forward, accepting my diploma with shaking hands, and when I looked up, I saw him, standing just behind the rail, tall and composed in a black button-down and open collar, pride gleaming in his dark eyes.Sloane Mercer, college graduate.The thought made me laugh under my breath. For all the nights I’d doubted myself, for all the anxiety and chaos, I’d done it.After the ceremony, the sea of students broke apart into families, hugs, and photographs. Lila came bounding toward me in her heels, her cap clutched in her hand, mascara slightly smudged but her grin wide and bright.

  • My Professor's Dirty Little Secret   72 - The Party

    Sloane POV—The hum of the engine filled the car as Dalton drove, the city lights flickering across my face. I fidgeted with my hands in my lap, nerves twisting in my stomach.“You look… incredible tonight,” Dalton said, glancing at me. His voice was low, warm, carrying that effortless confidence that always made my heart stutter.My fingers tightened around my dress. “I—thank you,” I murmured, feeling heat rise to my cheeks. “It’s just… a dress.”Dalton shook his head, a teasing smirk tugging at his lips. “Just a dress? Sloane, this emerald green—” he gestured subtly to the way it hugged my curves, “fits you perfectly. Honestly, it’s distracting.”I blinked, cheeks flushing even deeper. “Distracting… huh?” I whispered, glancing out the window to avoid his eyes.He chuckled softly, the sound sending a thrill down my spine. “Distracting, yes. In a good way.”The ride was comfortable, with the usual teasing and quiet glances that made my stomach twist. When Dalton finally pulled up to
