My Best Friend’s Brother Is My Professor—And He Wants Me 012
Killian Davenport The kitchen lights turn on at 6:03 a.m. I stand at the counter, waiting for the coffee to brew with my jaw tight. Class isn’t until nine. I shouldn’t even be awake yet. But sleep had been impossible.I’m irritated. Not because of work. Not because of the endless demands from Ronald and my father.But because of Elena.I tell myself it was the dress. The way it clung to her body on that runway, short enough to be indecent, long enough to torment. Then I tell myself it was the runway itself, the confidence in her stride, the way she commanded attention. Then I try to convince myself it’s simply the Carson effect. Sharon’s daughter. Some inherited warmth that disarms people.I’m lying to myself.The real problem was watching her smile at another man. The easy laugh. The hug. The way she lit up for Shane Morales like she never has in my classroom. The real problem was the moment my hand closed around her waist, how perfectly she fit against me, how her body tensed t

Elena CarsonI freeze on the spot.Killian is standing there in the dimly lit corridor, leaning against the railing. How is he here? Did he watch the show? My brain short-circuits for a second. I just finished grabbing a drink with Shane and I’m a little light-headed, so maybe I’m hallucinating.But no. He’s real. And he’s looking at me.Suddenly the dress feels ten times shorter. The mesh sleeves, the high hem, everything feels too exposed. My body tenses. Chills run down my arms even though it’s warm backstage.“Professor Davenport…” My voice comes out breathy. Weak.He stays perfectly still, controlled as always. “You handled yourself well out there.”Oh shit. He really watched. Heat floods my cheeks. I take one hesitant step closer, hardly believing he’s actually talking to me like this, outside of class.“I almost ran away,” I admit.“I could tell.” A pause. “It was only obvious to someone looking.”His words hit. Someone looking. Meaning him. My neck burns. I don’t know what

Killian DavenportI walk across the Ravenscroft parking lot, keys in hand.This place is louder than it needs to be. Too much performance, too little discipline. My students in London were quieter and more efficient. They came to learn, not to put on a show. Teaching here feels like stepping into a circus I never agreed to join.I get into my car and let out a slow breath. Finally. A quiet evening in my penthouse is exactly what I need. No students. No gossip. My phone rings before I can even start the engine.Ronald.I answer, already irritated. “Tell me it’s not important.”“I wouldn’t be calling if it wasn’t.”I pinch the bridge of my nose. “What’s the issue?”Ronald’s voice is measured, the way it always gets when he’s about to ask for something he knows I won’t like. “The workload is getting out of hand. Kyle and I can’t manage it alone. Just this once, Killian. One policy issue tied to an old contract. If we handle it wrong, people get hurt.”I stare out the windshield. “Yo

Elena CarsonThe last place I want to be is Psychology.Unfortunately, it’s also the one place I have to be.I pause outside the lecture hall doors, tightening my grip on my notebook until my knuckles turn white. For two days, I’ve tried to avoid thinking about the fact that I got caught hiding in Professor Davenport’s closet like some kind of obsessed stalker.That was a lie.I’ve thought about it constantly. The memory keeps replaying at the worst possible moments. The closet door swinging open, the way his grey eyes locked onto mine, the dangerous edge in his voice when he told me to get out. And in the car when he’d told me I could stay in his class.Heat crawls up my neck just thinking about it.God. Why did I let Nora talk me into that?Students stream past me into the lecture hall. A few girls near the door are already giggling.“Do you think he’s wearing glasses today?”“I hope so.”“I swear that should be illegal.”I roll my eyes and push through the doors. The lecture hal

Killian DavenportThe gates of the Davenport mansion loom ahead as I pull up the long driveway. I kill the engine and sit there a moment, staring at the familiar lights spilling from the windows.The last time I was here was the night I first landed back in the US. I saw my father briefly, confirmed he was still breathing, exchanged the bare minimum of words, and left almost immediately. Being back after seven years still feels strange. Like stepping into a grave I already escaped once.I grab the gift bag from the backseat and step out. The driveway looks the same, but not quite. The nude statue by the fountain — the one my father used to adore as some symbol of classical power — is gone.Interesting. Maybe the old man really is sick. Or maybe he’s simply rewriting the scenery to fit whatever narrative he’s selling these days.Ronald is waiting at the entrance, hands clasped behind his back.“You’re late,” he says.I smirk faintly. “Old habits.”We’ve been friends since childhood

Killian DavenportShe’s in my closet.The moment I open the door, the world narrows to one single, impossible sight.Elena Carson.Standing among my suits and shirts, eyes squeezed shut, breathing shallow. My clothes are brushing against her. My scent is all over her. My jaw clenches so tightly it aches and my pulse kicks up.What the fuck is she doing here?I ended class early today because I’m expected at the Davenport mansion tonight. There’s a family dinner. I thought maybe, just maybe, Elena had finally listened and dropped my class. When I didn’t see her in the lecture hall, a quiet part of me had almost felt relieved.Clearly, I was wrong.She’s here instead. In my penthouse. In my goddamn closet.She keeps breaking through every boundary I try to set.First, refusing to drop my class. Now this.I let the silence stretch, watching her lashes flutter. When she finally opens her eyes and meets mine, the air between us becomes electric. Her lips part, but no sound comes out. S

Elena CarsonIt’s been three days since Professor Davenport asked me to drop his class and I told him no.Three days of successfully avoiding him. Or maybe he’s been avoiding me. Either way, I haven’t seen him since that awkward confrontation in his office. But I hear his name everywhere I turn o

Elena Carson I don’t wait for him to say anything else before I walk out of his office. The door clicks shut behind me, and I keep walking, fast and angry. My heart is hammering so hard I can feel it in my throat. My cheeks are burning too and my hands won’t stop shaking. I just need to get the

Killian Davenport Of all the women in New York, why did it have to be Elena Carson who walked into my classroom?I lean against my desk, arms crossed, watching her stand awkwardly in the middle of the empty lecture hall. Messy bun, slightly wrinkled blouse, flushed cheeks. She looks like

Elena Carson KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK. I jolt awake, heart pounding. Ow. My head is killing me. I rub my temples and slowly register that I’m on the floor of my room. Not my bed. My hair is stuck to my cheek and there’s a dull ache behind my eyes that makes even breathing feel like effort. Everyth
