LOGINProfessor Alexis Wolfe knows better than to want his student, but Dorian Vega, the handsome rebel dark haired student. One stolen kiss turns into a reckless obsession and he can’t deny the pull between them. But when his wife Julien catches him in a lie, he realizes that sin is sweet, and secrets are even deadlier. What began as a forbidden attraction soon unravels into a game of power, deceit, and dangerous seduction. Soon, anonymous emails begin flooding Alexis’s inbox—each signed only with an “L.” They mention private memories he’s never shared, the scent of his cologne, the words he once whispered to someone long gone. At first, he thinks it’s blackmail. But the tone is too intimate, too knowing. Then one message arrives with a photo: a hand on his shoulder in a mirror, a hand that isn’t there when he turns around.
View MoreThe first month after my resignation was harder than I expected.Not financially, I had savings, and freelance editing work trickled in. But emotionally, I was unmoored. For ten years, my identity had been "Professor Wolfe." Now I was just Alexis, unemployed and living with a college student.I tried writing. Started a novel about academia and forbidden love, then deleted it when it felt too self-indulgent. Pitched essays to literary magazines and got polite rejections.Dorian had summer classes. He'd leave in the morning while I was still in bed, come home to find me in the same spot on the couch, laptop open but blank."You're depressed," he said one evening, setting down groceries."I'm adjusting.""You're depressed. There's a difference." He sat beside me. "Have you left the apartment today?""I went to get coffee.""The coffee maker is ten feet away.""Outside coffee. At the cafe.""When?"I didn't answer.He sighed. "You need structure. Purpose. Something other than staring at a
My mother showed up at my dorm three days later.I opened the door to find her standing there, face tight with fury."Mom....."She slapped me.The crack echoed in the hallway. My cheek burned."How could you?" Her voice shook. "Julie is family. She trusted you. Loved you like a son.""Can we do this inside?" I glanced around. Students were staring.She pushed past me into the room. My roommate took one look and fled."Do you have any idea what you've done?" She paced, hands clenched. "Julie is devastated. Her marriage is destroyed. And for what? Some crush on your professor?""It's not a crush.""Oh, please. You're nineteen years old. You don't know what love is.""I know what I feel.""You feel infatuated. With a man twice your age. A married man. Your aunt's husband." She spun to face me. "What's wrong with you?""Nothing is wrong with me. I fell in love. It happens.""Not like this. Not with someone so inappropriate.""He's getting divorced. We're both adults. There's nothing inap
The meeting with the Dean was scheduled for Monday morning.I spent the weekend preparing—gathering emails, reviewing university policy, consulting with a lawyer Dorian had somehow convinced me to hire."Even if nothing happened, you need representation," she'd said. Miranda Chen, sharp-eyed and no-nonsense. "Universities panic over these situations. They'll want to make an example."She was right.Monday arrived too quickly. I dressed carefully, suit, tie, the armor of professionalism. Dorian wanted to come with me."Absolutely not," I said."I should be there. I'm involved.""Which is exactly why you can't be there. It looks worse if we show up together."He hated it, but he understood.The Dean's office was on the third floor of the administration building. I'd been there dozens of times for faculty meetings, budget discussions, tenure reviews. Never like this.Dean Morrison sat behind her desk, flanked by two people I didn't recognize. HR representatives, probably."Professor Wolf
I woke to Dorian's phone buzzing relentlessly on the nightstand.He groaned, reaching for it, then froze when he saw the screen. "Shit.""What?""Aunt Julie called my mom." He showed me the notifications. Twenty-three missed calls now. Dozens of texts. "My entire family knows."My stomach dropped. "What do the texts say?"He scrolled through, face paling. "That I seduced you. That I'm destroying your marriage. That I......" He stopped. "They're not nice.""Let me see."He handed me the phone. I read through the messages, each one worse than the last.How could you do this to Julie?He's MARRIED. What's wrong with you?You should be ashamed of yourself.Stay away from him or I'm calling the university."Jesus," I muttered."My mom's is the worst." He pointed to a paragraph-long text. "She says I'm disgusting. That I've always been selfish and now I'm proving it. That Julie is like a sister to her and I betrayed the whole family.""I'm sorry.""Don't be. This isn't your fault." He took
The second his lips touched mine, everything else disappeared.I'd imagined this so many times—in class, late at night, every time he adjusted that damn tie. But nothing came close to the real thing.He kissed like a man starving. Like he'd been holding back for so long he'd forgotten how to be gen
The call came at 2:47 a.m.I woke up fast, heart hammering, fumbling for my phone on the nightstand. Julie’s name lit up the screen. For half a second I thought she was calling me herself,then a stranger’s voice came through, calm but urgent.“Mr. Alexis? Mercy General. Your wife’s been in an accid
I ignored the message and went to bed. Yet as I lay down my heart could not stop pounding.It was only after a few hours that I was able to fall asleep and even when I did, I dreamt of Dorian. He was shirtless in the dream, his toned body glistening as he stood there and looked at me intensely. He
As I sat in my car that evening I did not move.My car was hot, stuffy. I rolled down the window but it didn't help. My shirt was sticking to my back and my tie felt like it was choking me but I couldn't make myself drive home yet. I kept replaying the events of the day with Dorian and the words he
