Mag-log in"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.
Henry froze.His eyes widened.My nails dug into my palms.Fuck.I forced my gaze to stay on his.Say something…All my bravado began seeping out of my veins.My legs wobbled slightly.“Henry…”He ripped his gaze from mine, deciding to stare at the wall instead.“You don't mean that,” he whispered.I stepped closer.“But I do,” I replied. “I know it might have started out as a fantasy… a sexual one… but—” I paused.“I don't know when or how it turned into something more but… I know I feel something, Henry. And I know you do too—”“You're just mistaken, Rosie. I don't feel anything.”My heart shattered.My eyes watered.His words were like a blade and they cut deeper than I had imagined.I lowered my gaze.“I know you feel something for me, Henry. You're just trying hard to seem like you don't,” I sniffled as tears rolled down my face.“You don't always have to be so mean about it though. I understand.”I blinked back the tears, bringing my eyes back to his.He was still glaring at th
“Thank you,” I said, stepping out of the taxi.I glanced at the text from Lena, then back at the house.“Are you alright, Miss?”I turned to find the driver was staring at me with worry.“It's quite a lonely place to be at this time of night, you know?”I smiled.“Don't worry, I'm fine.”He didn't look assured.“Would you like me to wait out here for you—”I shook my head.“Thank you very much, but it won't be needed. I'm totally fine,” I said.“Don't worry, my dead body won't turn up on the news, I promise.”His worried expression broke into a soft smile.“If you say so… don't mind my pestering, I have a daughter that's why. Take care, okay?”“Yes, sir.”With that, he drove away.I turned back to stare at the looming building before me.I walked closer to the gate and rang the bell.“Who is that—Rosie?” Henry's voice came through from the intercom.“Hey…” I replied with a wave.“What are you doing here?”“I need to talk to you—”“Does your mum know you're here?”“No.”“Go back home,
My mouth felt dry.My head ached.My reason for living was down to zero.I just wanted to die—My head was shoved into a bowl of cold water, then pulled back up.My wide eyes stared at my shocked reflection.“Dad!”“I believe you feel much better now,” he said.I glared at him, my chest rising and falling fast.He stared at me warily, then pursed his lips.“I'll take my leave then.”I glared at his retreating frame till he went out of sight.“Fucking asshole,” I muttered, heading to the bathroom.……….Two hours later, I strolled down the stairs dressed in a black corset top and biker shorts paired with thigh high boots.I patted my hair gently.“Where are you going?” Mum asked, walking out of the kitchen with a bowl in hand.“To Lena's.”She'd been blowing up my phone all night.“You aren't staying for breakfast?”I shook my head.“But I made your favorite,” she said with a tiny pout.“And you can't eat it all, I'll eat it later.”“Okay…”She walked into the dining room and I followed
Two hours later, we all trudged into the house, tired from our earlier display of madness at the hospital.“I'm so… hungry,” I groaned.“I'll cook tonight,” Dad said.“Yay!” I clapped.“I see you're as enthusiastic about food as always.”I pouted.He chuckled, ruffling my hair.“Sorry, princess,” Dad said, walking into the kitchen.“I wanna help,” I announced, trailing after him.He stared at me with uncertainty.“Err… how about you just let me handle things here, sweetheart.”“I can help, I promise. I learned a few things from Henry—”I paused, clamping my mouth shut as his face floated into my mind.Funny how it was so easy to forget him for a while.“I'll help too, so you don't have to be stuck with a lousy assistant,” Mum said, ruffling my hair.I grinned.Dad smiled.“Alright then!” …………..An hour later, we sat at the dining table, our hands joined together in prayer.“Bless this meal, O Lord. Amen,” Mum said. I picked up my spoon, my eyes locked on the heavenly delicacy with g
Henry's POV “Honestly, having you here has been the best thing this school has ever had, Mr Gareth.” Principal Nowell said with a smile.I smiled back.“I'm really glad to hear that, Principal Nowell.”“That reminds me, when's the play you and Rosie are working on coming to life?”I pursed my lips
Henry plastered a fake smile on his face“Likewise,” he replied, arm outstretched.Jacob smiled tightly, but took his hand.“Hi, Mr Gareth.” Lena said, waving slightly.“Good to see you, Lena.” Maggie came over, taking Henry's hand in hers. “I'm so sorry about the other day.”Henry smiled politely
I swallowed forcefully, chest rising and falling fast.So… close.So close that I could feel his breath on my cheeks and smell his expensive cologne.My tongue ran over my lower lip and his gaze dropped there, then snapped back to my eyes quickly.His grip around my wrist tightened, eyes searching
“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
