LOGIN"This is wrong, Rosie. I'm engaged to your mother." Henry murmured, touching my cheeks softly. "It's wrong that I want you this way." "Then let it be wrong," I whispered, pressing my body against his. "Because I don't know how else to make it right with you. And I'm tired of having you in my thoughts and dreams alone." ****** Rosie has a secret, a forbidden one. And obsession to the one man she could never have. Her professor. Gareth Henry, disciplined and respectable. Henry was nothing more than Rosie's fantasy, until fate pulled them together. Not as her professor… But as her mother's fiancèe. Forced to live under the same roof, Rosie is trapped between what she wants and what she should never desire, every glance, every accidental touch and every quiet moment between them becomes a crack in their restraint. Because Henry remembers her. And the tension between them is no luck them one-sided. But lines exist for a reason. And crossing them could destroy everything, her family, her future and the fragile control they're both desperately holding onto.
View MoreI dipped my fingers into my slit.
Its warm mound welcomed the intrusion with unsurprising familiarity.
I moaned softly… eyes snapped shut as molten desire overcame me.
Licking my lips seductively— I arched my back in bed, keeping a steady rhythm.
In and out…
All the while imagining a pair of sleepy dark blue eyes, whispering sweet nothings in my ears.
Always clad in an expensive tailored suit and tie.
Strong jawline that framed full pink lips, parting ever so slightly whenever he spoke.
For the three years I spent in college, I've dreamt about this man, touched myself to the thought of his face.
Night after night…
Imagined him with me, in every compromising situation I could think of.
Needed him in ways I could never say out loud.
And yet—
It wasn't enough.
I wanted the real thing.
I wanted more… but sadly.
This man was what you'd call “off limits”
A taboo.
A forbidden epitome of raw, masculine allure.
This man…
Was my professor.
******
Ring!!!
The shrill sound of the bell cut into my daydream sharply.
My body jerked upright, heart slamming wildly against my chest as reality came rushing back in.
Eyes wide awake and alert, scanning the rushing crowd in fright.
Voices.
Footsteps.
The scraping of chairs.
I blinked rapidly, trying to steady my breathing as I took in the crowded classroom.
I exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down my face.
It was just the bell signaling the end of school.
“Wipe that drool off your lips Rosie.” My friend Lena admonished me.
I blushed scarlet red, quickly wiped it off, then I began putting my things into my bag.
“At this rate I'm sure Mr Alfred just doesn't care what becomes of his students.” She groaned, tapping her feet impatiently.
I zipped up my bag and slung it over my shoulder.
It was that damn dream again.
Warm. Intense. Unsettling.
I swallowed slightly, shifting my grip on my bag.
Fucking stupid.
Just a dream?
Who was I kidding?
“I'm sorry Lena,” I apologized, falling into step with her as we left the classroom.
“Don't apologize to me Rosie, apologize to your poor math grade already, all you ever do is sleep through the whole class.” I winced slightly as she berated me.
My eyes roved around the hallways, packed with students laughing and talking.
Lena pushed the door open, stepping onto the school grounds, as she headed towards her ride home.
“It'll be a miracle if you manage to pass. And you know damn well math is part of the must pass subjects.”
I scratched my head sheepishly.
“I'll do my best—”
“That was the same thing you said about physics, further maths and chemistry.”
She skidded to a stop in front of me.
“For fucks sake those subjects are a must pass if you really want to go to E.A.” hands, firmly placed on her hips.
I wriggled my fingers awkwardly, staring at the floor, I suddenly felt like a stubborn child getting scolded by the parents.
“I'm just not good with it Lena.” I whined.
She clicked her tongue in annoyance, then opened her bag bringing out her books.
“Study these from time to time, okay?” She said, handing the books to me.
I nodded.
She shook her head and turned around walking away.
A black car stood waiting for her.
She slid in, waving at me as the car sped off down the road.
I glanced down at the books in my hands, thumb brushing over the edges absentmindedly.
Maybe Lena was right.
Maybe I needed to focus.
On school,
On reality,
On anything that wasn't… him.
I pulled the book closer to my chest and turned around to walk away.
My body connected with a hard one instead, causing the book in my hands to fall down.
“I'm so sorry,” I rushed out, bending down to pick up the papers strewn everywhere.
I heard the voice murmur a quiet sorry.
But I was too focused on picking and dusting every single paper that I didn't notice the figure still stood exactly at the same spot.
I frowned slightly.
My eyes trailed from polished black shoes—
To tailored black trousers, a dark brown belt locked in place on a lean masculine waist.
A white button up shirt, tucked into his pants and black tie.
I squinted at the harsh glare of the sun.
The figure stepped a bit closer, shielding my eyes from it.
Sharp jawline tucked softly drawing my gaze to lush pink lips.
My eyes widened.
Lips parted slightly in surprise as my honey brown eyes locked onto those sleepy, dark blue eyes.
The same eyes I'd been trying to forget for ages.
The same eyes I'd gazed at deep in my imaginations as I imagined him ruining me to the fullest.
The same eyes I was just dreaming about a few hours ago.
My forbidden desire.
My dark taboo.
The person that stood in front of me was none other than my professor.
Gareth Henry.
My loud cries floated through the whole neighborhood, but I was too emotional to give a fuck."You came," I croaked, burying my face in the crook of his neck."Just as I promised," Henry whispered back.And the fact that he actually did hit me like a ton of bricks and made me cry harder.Gradually, my loud wails turned to sniffles.Then finally, silence.I eased back slightly, wiping the tears from my face.“Fuck…” I tsked in annoyance.“That slap was supposed to get me five million dollars damages.”“So you really were thinking of suing her," Henry said, amused.I exhaled heavily.“Come on out guys, show’s over.”............Henry's POV Footsteps echoed from behind us.A videographer.A reporter.A photographer.And a few other people.A small smile curled up my lips.“I was beginning to wonder since when did you stay put and let someone slap you.”She scoffed.“Are we still getting our money, Rosie?” the photographer asked.“What money?” Rosie sneered at him.“For the shoot...” the
Her brows furrowed in confusion.I sighed dramatically."Oh, how foolish you are, Greta."She gritted her teeth, her fingers fisted by her sides."Let's say... I planned everything to end this way.""What do you mean by that?" she bit out."History has a funny way of repeating itself, doesn't it? Like father, like son..." I drawled, tapping my chin softly."Long story short, the person your son almost raped was a paid actor.""What?""A leopard can never change its spots, you know? All I had to do was make sure your son had the opportunity to do it again, so I hired someone to lure out the rapist inside of him and he didn't disappoint."Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes burning with pent up rage."How dare you?" she ground out."Come on, Greta. It'd have taken ages if I had to go through this... corrupt system the legal way.""I will make you pay, you fucking bitch, I swear you don't know me and what I'm capable of—""And you don't know me either, Greta," I cut in, stepping cl
(Three Years Later)I stepped out of the courtroom, my heels clanking against the marble floor and my Versace bag swinging with each movement.Then I stopped in front of the door.I adjusted my shades.My gaze ran over my suit top and skirt in approval."Show time, Rosie."Then I pushed the door.The moment I stepped outside, flashlights blinded me for only a second before reporters surged forward trying to shove their mics in my face.My security detail immediately formed a barrier, allowing me just enough space to breathe."Miss Alphonse! Miss Alphonse! Over here!"I didn't stop or bother to look. I simply kept walking with my chin held high and a satisfied smirk on my lips."Another high-profile conviction. What's your secret?"Almost...They were almost close to getting my attention."Do you think you ruined an innocent boy's career?"Innocent my ass."Many people say you're becoming the most feared lawyer in the country. How do you feel about that title?"Finally,I stopped.And
By the time I woke up, Henry was gone, and a tiny note lay under my pillow.A sad smile tugged at my lips as I read its contents.‘I think your mother's right, Rosie. You need to figure yourself out without me hovering around you. I will try to stay updated with your life for as long as I can, and when the time is right, I will come for you.’I exhaled heavily.There was a void inside of me, one that opened the moment Henry left.I guess Mum was right after all.I brushed, took my bath, then dressed up before heading downstairs.Low voices drifted from the living room."I messed up, Richy. She definitely hates me now," Mum said, her voice soft."I'm sure she doesn't, Dee—""She does..." Mum cut in. "I just keep fucking things up—""Hey," I said, coming to a stop at the doorway.They both turned to me."Who's up for noodles?"Mum blinked.Dad stared at me in confusion."I know a cool spot," I tried again. "And I'm not angry... a bit sad, maybe empty but I'm cool.""Oh, Rosie," Mum brea
“He's your mum's fiancé, Rosie.” I chanted as I sorted through my wardrobe for a study outfit.After a few minutes of endless searching— I groaned, slamming the wardrobe close.Since when did I care about my looks?Who cares…It's my bloody house, I should wear what I'm comfortable in.I bit my lip
I groaned, rolling over onto my side, the harsh glare of sunlight hit me immediately.I squinted, turning away sharply.“Jesus Christ…”Why the hell was my curtain drawn?Of course… My mother is home.I stared at the bedside clock. It read— 10:50I got up from bed, deciding to brush my teeth and ta
“Rosie's your daughter?” Henry asked, glancing at my Mum.She nodded, brows furrowing in confusion.“Rosie Alphonse?”Mum's eyebrow rose up a fraction.“You…” she paused, eyes moving from me to Henry. “Do you know each other?”“Of course,” Henry said, with a slight smile. “Rosie was my student at H
“Rosie?” Henry called, staring at me in surprise.I grinned sheepishly.“Hi, Professor Henry.” He blinked, lips parted slightly.“Rosie Alphonse?”“The one and only…” I trailed off,His lips broke into a wide smile as he stepped closer.“My, my. Look how big you've grown.” He grinned, tousling my
