Dark Desires: The Professor's Obsession CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
ADRIANThe campus was quieter than usual as I walked through the quad, the early morning sun casting long shadows across the pavement. Doyle’s suspension had been the highlight of my week—no more smug glances in faculty meetings, no more thinly veiled insults disguised as academic debate. The man was a pest, and now he was gone. At least for a while. I adjusted the strap of my leather bag over my shoulder, nodding at a few students who greeted me as I passed. The dean’s office was my first stop—formalities, paperwork and the keys to my new office, just the usual nonsense. I noticed the dean changed his secretary, this one was different from the other one—she was older, she looked like she was in her late forties with a taste for low-cut blouses. She looked up as I entered. “Professor Knight,” she purred, leaning forward just enough to make her intentions obvious. “We missed you around here.” I barely glanced at her, I wasn't surprised that she knew me—I had that effect on wome

LENAI adjusted the strap of my bag for the third time in five minutes, my fingers fidgeting with the worn out edge. The café was exactly how Jeremy had described it—small, cozy, with fairy lights that were hung up along the ceiling and the smell of cinnamon hanging in the air. It was cute. Too cute. I spotted him immediately, sitting by the window. He looked up just as I walked in, his face breaking into that familiar, easy smile. “Lena,” he said, standing up too fast, nearly knocking over his coffee. “You made it.”“Yeah,” I said, forcing a smile. “It was easy finding this place. Great place by the way.”He pulled out my chair like we were in some old-fashioned movie. I sat, trying to ignore the way my stomach twisted. “You look great, Lee.” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. A nervous habit he’d had since we were kids. “Thanks,” I said, tucking my hair behind my ear. “You too.”We took a long pause then the waiter came by, and Jeremy ordered for both of us without askin

EVELYNI stared at the afternoon sun through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office then leaned back in my chair, swirling a glass of whiskey—neat, no ice—just the way I liked it. A sharp knock at the door interrupted the peace that I was basking on.“Come in,” I called, not bothering to look up. Emma stepped inside, her heels clicking against the polished floor. “Ms. Grant, Professor Doyle is here to see you.” A slow smile curled my lips. “Send him in.” Doyle strode in like a man who’d already won, his usual smugness rose up to unbearable levels. His tie was loosened, his cheeks were flushed, and there was a glint in his eyes that screamed victory. “Evelyn,” he said, dropping into the chair across from me without waiting for an invitation. “Today’s the day.” I arched my brow. “Is it?” “Oh, come on.” He laughed, running a hand through his already disheveled hair. “Don’t play coy. Adrian’s little empire is about to crumble. By this time tomorrow, he’ll be in Berlin, scr

ADRIAN “What's the status?” I answered as I picked up my phone from the marble countertop. The predawn light filtered through my penthouse windows as I fastened the last button on my suit jacket. The packed luggage by the door looked convincing enough in case anyone was watching—two leather suitcases and a duffel bag. The perfect image of a man preparing for an extended trip abroad. Marco's voice crackled through the line. “I checked and heard that Doyle was already popping champagne at the faculty club. The bastard's telling everyone you're running with your tail between your legs.” I adjusted my cufflinks. “Let him enjoy his little taste of victory.”“You sure about this, boss? Once we pull the trigger—”“It's already done.” I checked my watch. “Has Jax done it?”“Yes boss. He says the IRS just needs one more nudge.”The elevator dinged in my penthouse. Right on time. “The car’s here,” I said. “Keep the line open.”The campus was unusually quiet as my driver pulled up to th

MIKEThe door slammed shut behind me, I’m sure the neighbors heard it—if we had any. I threw my bag onto the bed and sank into my desk chair, my fingers pressing into my temples. I hated coming home but I had to because I ran out of funds. I got exactly what I expected—another dinner, another argument. It was always the same. “Art won’t pay your bills, Michael.”“Your brother needs you in the company.”“When are you going to start taking life seriously?”I exhaled sharply, rubbing my face. I hated how small I felt after these fights. Like no matter what I did, I’d never be enough. I heard a soft knock on the door. I didn’t answer, but my mom opened the door anyway. “Michael.”I kept my back to her, pretending to sketch. “Yeah?” She sighed, the way she always did before saying something I didn’t want to hear. “Your father just wants what’s best for you.”I pressed my pencil harder into the paper. “No mom, he wants what’s best for him.”“Mike—”“I’m not dropping art.” My voice

ADRIAN“You've made the right choice,” the dean said, mopping his forehead. “This partnership will elevate Blackmoore's reputation internationally.” I watched his fingers tremble as he slid the Berlin contract across his desk. I signed, smiling at him. “When does Shaw expect me?”“Friday.” His smile twitched. “His private jet will be waiting at his private aerodrome.” Standing, I adjusted my cuffs. “Do give Gregory my regards.”I called Marco to assemble the boys as soon as I left his office.*****************Marco poured three fingers of bourbon and relaxed against the table. Dimitri leaned against the wall near the door, his arms crossed, while Jax's fingers flew across his laptop keyboard, the blue glow from the laptop reflecting off his glasses. I set my glass down with a quiet click. “We have another problem, boys.” Marco stopped picking at the label. “How big are we talking?”“It's about my acceptance to go to Berlin.”Dimitri's eyebrow twitched. “Wait, you're taking the
