Masuk"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.
Lihat lebih banyakI 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.
“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 softly, glaring at the array of clothes on my bed.My eyes roved around then suddenly—They landed on my satin set.(No Rosie,) I reprimanded, shaking my head in disagreement. (He's your mother's—)“Oh, for fuck's sake,” I screeched, picking up the satin shorts and armless top.(You fucking slut.)“Shut up, bitch.” I mentally facepalmed.“Now I was having an argument with my mind about morality.” I murmured. “Way to go Rosie, remember things like this are what lands people in a psychiatric hospital.”I peeled the joggers and top from my body, then slipped into the satin shorts and armless top.(Don't you think that's a bit too much?)“Like anyone asked for your opinion.” I replied, dryly.
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 take a bath instead. It was a Saturday so there was no school, and I was pretty sure I heard mum say they would be out for the day.A wide grin spread on my face.Lucky me.A day of peace and quiet would help me navigate my thoughts clearly.I threw on a pair of joggers and top, then I began making my way downstairs.I beelined for the kitchen, heading straight to the pot— and as expected, there was food.“God bless you, mum.” I murmured, taking a plate and dishing my food.“I— feel good, pa-ra-ra-ra.” I danced while singing happily.I opened the second pot, gaze landing on sauced turkey.My mouth watered instantly.“Jesus, Mom,” I murmured, dipping my hand into the pot, to grab a piece of tu
“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 Harvard College…. Remember,” he pressed.“The one I told you I was a Professor at, three years ago.”Mum gasped, lips parted in shock.“Oh my… yes, yes. You said so, it just skipped my mind for a bit.”“But… how come?” He asked, glancing at me then back to Mum.“What do you mean?” “Your name's Denise Richards…” he trailed off.“Ohh…” Mum chuckled softly, “Rosie insisted on taking her grandfather's name actually.”“Ohh… I see.” He murmured.Silence ensued.Stretching longer than expected.I shifted slightly, unsure of where to look or what to say next.My gaze dropped briefly to the floor, then lifted again— His eyes were on me already, trailing over my frame.My breath hitched.I looked awa
“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 hair gently.I pouted.“The last time I saw you,” he cocked his head to the side. “You were this tall.”“That was five years ago, Professor Gareth.” I said, rolling my eyes.“And you've got an attitude I see…”I pursed my lips in annoyance, folding my arms over my chest.“What are you doing back in California?” I asked curiously.He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.“I'm here with my fiancèe…” a dull noise began ringing in my ears.His eyes lit up as he spoke, but his voice sounded faint and distant in my ears.“—apparently a daughter of hers goes to this school,” he said with a shrug.Fiancee?My heart slammed painfully in my chest.“—I mean… obviously I'm not expecting to bump into her or some
