Dark Desires: The Professor's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
LENA"You’re sure about this?" Dani asked, holding up a pair of heels I clearly didn’t need.I laughed. "No, but I’m doing it anyway. Dad’s paying…” I flashed my dad's credit card. “Might as well make it worth the trip."We were overloaded with shopping bags as we stepped out of the last boutique in downtown San Diego. Dani, my ride-or-die was practically filled with energy, making jokes and teasing me every five steps as we browsed through racks of dresses, accessories, and books I pretended were absolutely necessary for class."You’re spoiling yourself. I like this version of you," she said with a grin.I rolled my eyes. "I’m going back early, remember? I need a few things."Dani paused. "Still not telling your parents the real reason?"I shook my head and dropped my voice. "You know my parents, D! It’s just easier this way. They wouldn’t understand."I hadn’t told them that I was heading back to campus a week early to see Adrian. I made up a lie about needing access to the lab earl

AVA"Ava!" my mom shouted from downstairs. "The cows aren’t gonna milk themselves!"I woke up once again to my mom's endless errands and to the sound of chickens squawking outside my window. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache. I had only been home for four days, but it felt like I’d been dragging buckets of feed and scrubbing stalls for a lifetime.I groaned, swinging my legs off the bed and slipping on my boots. My phone buzzed again. I didn’t even have to look to know who it was.I was sure it was Nathan."When are you coming back?" read the text.The fourth one this morning.I didn’t respond.I tied my hair back and trudged downstairs. Mom was already in the kitchen, throwing together breakfast with her usual flurry of movement. Dad was outside, probably already fixing something broken."Morning to you, ma." I muttered."Eat something, then grab the buckets. You’ll help me with the eggs afterward," she said, like it was any regular Tuesday and not my break from s
Dark Desires: The Professor's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
ADRIANI’ve learned to live in two worlds. In one, I’m the respected professor at an elite institution, someone students look up to and colleagues envy in silence. But in the other world, I'm the one cloaked in shadows and silence, that’s where my real power lies.Tonight, I wasn’t Dr. Adrian Knight. Tonight, I was the man they whispered about in the underworld. The one whose name only came up in only closed rooms. I stepped out of my private elevator into the underground chamber beneath my penthouse.Three men were already waiting at the long marble table."You’re late, Don." Marco grumbled, adjusting the collar of his black suit."Is that how you address your Don? You know I don't entertain such nonsense." I replied smoothly, shrugging off my coat and tossing it to Jax, my silent shadow.“I'm sorry Don.” He responded, shifting uncomfortably.Yes, Marco was my underboss but he knew better than to question me and my movements."Any word from the Prague operation?" Dimitri, my Capo ask

LENAI had barely been home a day, and I was already being reminded of why I both loved and dreaded the holidays."Lena, did you bring your jacket? San Diego may be sunny but the evenings can still be chilly," Mom called from the kitchen as I passed by."Yes, Mom," I said, even though I hadn’t. I made a mental note to grab a hoodie from the store later.Dad was seated in the living room, the TV muted but tuned to some finance channel he loved to pretend he understood. He gave me a look over his glasses. "You didn’t bring any homework?""It's the holidays, Dad. We're on break." I responded, hoping for this conversation not to be long."That doesn’t mean your brain should go on break too," he said.I smiled and nodded, knowing better than to argue.It was like clockwork every year. The minute I walked through the door, I was no longer Lena-the-independent-college-student. I was back to being Lena-the-only-child, under the constant, loving surveillance of my very protective parents.Don’

LENAIt was late morning, and I found myself curled up on the bed staring at my phone, my thoughts tangled in Adrian. I couldn’t get our moments out of my head—the way his hands felt on my skin, how his voice dropped to a whisper when he said my name, or the quiet ache in his eyes when he told me he missed me. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel him all over again, touching my body and fucking my brains out.I sighed and scrolled through our messages, stopping at the last one he sent."I miss you, kitten. Nova won’t stop asking about you."That tugged at my heart. I missed Nova too. Sweet, bubbly Nova who clung to me like I’d always been part of her life. With a deep breath, I tapped on his contact and hit "Call."He picked up immediately."Lena?" His voice sounded relieved.“Hey, you! Are you busy?” I said, curling my legs under me on the bed. God, I missed his voice more than I should. "Never too busy for you," he said, then lowered his voice. "Someone’s been asking about you

AVAI was starting to think Lena was losing herself to this forbidden love between her and Adrian. She hadn’t said much to me since coming back from Adrian’s place, and I didn’t want to push her, but something felt off. I knew she was smart, fierce when she needed to be, but lately... she acted like a confused teenager who doesn't know what she wants.Still, I smiled. Still, I listened. That was what good friends did. I just hoped she would do the same for me if she ever found out what my life really looked like."You okay?" Mike asked, nudging me with his elbow as we walked into the dorm lounge, we went out to get some goodies for our stay in."Yeah. Just thinking."He gave me that knowing look. The one that always said: You can't lie to me.I forced a laugh. "Seriously. I’m fine. Just tired.""School stress?" he asked."Something like that."“Worry not, the holidays art near…” He dragged on with a fake British accent.He didn’t press, which I was grateful for. I didn’t want to talk
