RYDER'S POV

The silence in Ryder’s apartment presses against his eardrums, heavy and suffocating. He paces the length of the living room, the worn soles of his sneakers scuffing against the hardwood floor. His phone buzzes incessantly on the coffee table, lighting up the dark room with intermittent flashes, but he ignores the vibration. His mind is stuck on a loop, replaying the cold shoulder Professor Adrian gave him the whole week. The way Adrian’s eyes slid past him, refusing to make co

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 70 ~ ONE MORE ROUND

    Adrian crashes his mouth against Ryder’s, the impact hard enough to bruise, a desperate collision of teeth and lips. He presses his body flush against Ryder’s, eliminating every millimeter of space between them, seeking friction and heat in equal measure. Ryder groans low in his throat, the sound vibrating against Adrian’s lips, and his hands slide down to grip Adrian’s ass through the denim. He squeezes, pulling Adrian impossibly closer until their hips grind together. The kiss spirals, turning rough and wet. Adrian rubs himself against Ryder’s growing hardness, a frantic, needy motion that steals the air from his lungs. Ryder takes control, his tongue dominating Adrian’s mouth, one hand tangling in Adrian’s hair to angle his head deeper. Suddenly, Ryder pulls back, breaking the seal of their lips with a wet pop. Adrian chases the retreat, leaning forward on unsteady legs, his eyes glazed and lips swollen. Ryder chuckles, a dark, rasping sound. "Patient, baby." Adrian shakes

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 69 ~ BE OKAY

    RYDER'S POV "So it was you." Ryder twists around, the movement stiff. William stands a few feet away, his chest heaving, eyes narrowed into slits of pure venom. He doesn’t wait for a denial. William lunges forward, his fist connecting solidly with Ryder’s cheekbone. The impact snaps Ryder’s head to the side, a bloom of instant heat radiating across his face. Before he can recover, William’s fingers claw into the fabric of Ryder’s shirt, yanking him forward. Ryder glances down at the white-knuckled grip distorting his collar, then looks up. They are eye to eye, perhaps Ryder an inch taller, but the rage pouring off William makes him seem larger. William shakes him, the fabric straining. "So it was you that posted that video," William spits, the words vibrating with aggression. Ryder lifts a hand to his mouth, his fingers coming away smeared with crimson. He stares at the blood for a heartbeat, then his gaze hardens. He grips William’s wrist, twisting with a sudden, brutal

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 68 ~ LONELY

    ADRIAN'S POV The new day breaks with a crisp, bright sunlight. Adrian parks his car in the college lot, humming a tune under his breath as he grabs his bag and heads toward the faculty building. He feels lighter than he has in months, a constant reminder of the watch on his wrist and the man who gave it to him. As he walks, he notices a group of students standing near the entrance. They look up as he approaches, their expressions twisting into something that looks suspiciously like disgust. They whisper to each other, glancing down at their phones before looking back at him with narrowed eyes. Adrian frowns slightly but brushes it off, assuming they are just typical college gossip. He keeps his head high, walking past them and entering the building. He makes his way to his office, ready to start the day, but as soon as he steps through the door, he freezes. Sitting behind his desk—or rather, standing looming over his desk—is the Head of the Faculty, Dean Thorne. Adrian has

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 67 ~ I HEAR MY NAME

    RYDER'S POV The adrenaline buzzing beneath Ryder’s skin is a high-pitched hum, drowning out the world. His parents have been buried under mountains of work and business deals lately, their noses so deep in spreadsheets they haven’t had time to breathe, let alone nag him about the fake pregnancy or Maya. It’s a fucking relief. The silence at home is golden. But his mind, traitorous as it is, drifts to the girl. Maya has been distant lately, ghosting around the edges of the campus like a bad smell he can’t scrub out. He barely notices her absence, or so he tells himself, but silence from Maya is never just silence. It’s the calm before a hurricane, and Ryder knows he needs to keep his head on a swivel. Right now, though, the only thing that matters is the rink. He’s been grinding through back-to-back practices, his eyes locked on the upcoming game like it’s the only thing that exists. He wants that captaincy back. He wants the 'C' on his jersey so bad he can taste it. On the rink

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 66 ~ JEALOUS FREAK

    ADRIAN'S POV Drake’s eyes narrow as he looks Adrian up and down, taking in the expensive suit, the messy hair, and the flushed cheeks. His gaze zeroes in on Adrian’s neck, specifically the dark, purpling bruise peeking out from the collar of his shirt—the hickey Ryder had left earlier. "So," Drake drawns, a smirk playing on his lips. "Who were you out with?" Adrian instinctively pulls his collar up, turning his head slightly to hide the mark. "Just a friend." Drake raises an eyebrow, unconvinced. "A friend? Dressed like that?" He points a finger at Adrian’s neck. "And is that a hickey? Friends don't usually leave marks like that, Adrian." Adrian feels the heat rise all over again, caught between the thrill of his secret and the scrutiny of his roommate. "It was... just a really good dinner," he mumbles, avoiding Drake's eyes as he makes a beeline for his room. Adrian retreats to his room, closing the door firmly behind him. He leans back against the wood for a moment, h

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 65 ~ WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND

    ADRIAN'S POV The question hangs in the cool night air, suspended between the glittering skyline above and the sprawling city lights below. Adrian’s smile freezes, then slowly fades away entirely. He stares up at Ryder, the breath catching in his throat, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Ryder doesn't look away. He tightens his grip on Adrian’s hand, his thumb stroking the knuckles, grounding them both. "I know," Ryder rushes on, his voice low and rough with sincerity. "I know it’s too early. I know we’re supposed to be keeping this professional, that we shouldn't be doing this at all. But I can't help it. I can't help how I feel about you." He shifts closer, his eyes searching Adrian’s face, desperate to be understood. "You drive me crazy, Adrian. I’ve been thinking about you non-stop. It’s not just the sex, though that’s incredible—it’s everything. The way you look at me when you think I’m not paying attention, the way your voice sounds when you lectur

    RYDER'S POV The corridor stretches out before Ryder, a long, polished expanse of linoleum reflecting the fluorescent buzz from overhead.

    RYDER'S POV The silence in the lecture hall is thick enough to choke on, heavy with the dust of chalk and the collective held breath of fifty students. The question—Are you gay?—hangs in the air like smoke, curling around the fluorescent lights. It isn't a whisper. Adrian grips the edges of

    RYDER'S POV The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum with a low, headache-inducing buzz, a sound that usually drives Ryder straight back to his dorm room and into a bottle of cheap whiskey.

    RYDER'S POV The Friday night air hangs heavy and humid over the sprawling estate, thick with the scent of chlorine, expensive cologne, and the sharp, yeasty tang of spilled beer.
