The next day, they got ready and left together after Susan kept texting Selina, asking her to meet Raven not as a professor, but as her partner. Selina talked it over with Raven, and he agreed. He even said they should thank Susan for helping them before.They stepped out of the car, and Raven placed a hand on Selina’s lower back, guiding her into Rowan’s restaurant. They chose the place because it was comfortable, and thanks to Rowan, they got a VIP table.Susan was already there. The moment she saw them, she stood up with a wide smile.She hugged Selina tightly, then nodded at Raven. It felt strange. Selina was about to introduce her partner, who also happened to be their professor. She had gotten used to that reality, but for Susan, everything was still new and awkward.“Please, have a seat, Susan,” Raven said politely as he pulled out a chair for her.Susan stared at him with wide eyes before sitting down, while Selina smiled.Raven then helped Selina into her seat, kissed her tem
They did something reckless and heated again on campus. Once classes were over, Raven immediately asked her out. Hand in hand, they walked into the movie theater. Raven bought the tickets and grabbed a few tubs of popcorn before they found their seats.The movie turned out to be deeply emotional and romantic. Selina could not stop herself from crying when the couple on screen finally got their happy ending.Raven chuckled when he saw Selina staring at the screen with puffy eyes. His smile widened as he teased her, calling her a little bear who was way too sensitive.After the movie, they enjoyed some snacks while taking a slow walk through a nearby park. Children were playing happily around them. The late afternoon weather felt calm and gentle, and it was nice to have a date that came without any planning.Selina loved him with her whole heart.Raven opened the car door for Selina before taking the driver’s seat himself. The engine started, and they headed home.During the drive, Seli
Selina’s fear slowly faded as she breathed in a scent she knew all too well.Her body went still. She let herself go weak when warm breath brushed her ear, a solid, familiar presence pressing against her back.“Don’t scream,” Raven’s deep voice murmured close to her, carrying a calm that seeped straight into her chest.Selina nodded faintly. Slowly, Raven loosened his grip to give her space. In the cramped room, Selina turned around. Her brows immediately knit together when her gaze met Raven’s dark blue eyes.She had to tilt her head up slightly to look at him.“What’s wrong…”The question never finished because Raven pulled her into a tight embrace. His face buried in the curve of her neck, his breathing heavy as he drew in a deep breath.“I’m sorry,” Raven muttered, his voice thick with emotion. Selina had to rise onto her toes because of their height difference.“Why?” Selina whispered. Her arms slid around Raven’s back, returning the hug gently. “Why are you apologizing?” she ask
“This is serious,” Silas said, his voice tight. “Word is, a student heard noises coming from your office and turned it into gossip.”Raven sat calmly, his expression unchanged. On the other hand, Selina sat stiffly, cheeks burning red.“You should have been more careful,” Silas added.“I remember seeing a girl with you, Selina,” Raven said suddenly, looking straight at her.His gaze dropped to the bandage on Selina’s neck, and his expression hardened. It took Selina a full minute to realize what he meant.“No. Susan would never spread rumors,” Selina said quickly, rushing to defend her. “She actually helped us hide from the students.”“Fine. We’ll figure something out,” Silas said. “About the lab test,” he tried to change the subject, but Raven stopped him with a small gesture.Selina didn’t wait any longer. She slipped out of the room, her heart pounding against her ribs.What was wrong with her? This wasn’t right. Why was she acting like some foolish teenager? She should have been c
Selina ran down the long hallway of Westbrook University, breath short and uneven. She was already late. All she could hope was that her professor was late too. No such luck. By the time she slipped quietly into the classroom, he was already in front, mid-lecture. Thankfully, he didn’t call her out.She took this class with Susan, and thankfully her best friend had saved her a seat.Selina sat down and hurried to arrange her books and notes.Susan tapped Selina’s notebook with the tip of her pen to get her attention. “I thought you were going to be late.”Selina froze, eyes widening when she saw the tiny writing Susan was pointing at. Heat rushed straight to her cheeks.Of course Susan remembered.Selina turned, only to find Susan’s gaze fixed on her neck, right where the bandage was. Susan lifted her brows with meaning, and Selina shot her a warning look before facing the front again.God, everything had happened so fast that she had actually forgotten Susan already knew their secret
The sudden movement made Kendall’s head spin, her chin lolling to one side. She squeezed her eyes shut and groaned as blood rushed to her head. The dizziness grew worse. All because of Leon. Because of his annoying caveman tactics. Why couldn’t he just carry her like a bride instead of manhandling her like a gorilla?“Drink this.” His voice was rough.Kendall ignored him. Her head throbbed. She didn’t want to drink. Didn’t want to move. She only wanted to sleep, but the heat inside her body kept rising with every second.Her hand ached to slip down there, but she knew it wouldn’t be enough. The drug in her system was too strong. She didn’t want anything to do with Leon, especially when she was fully aware he didn’t even like her and still loved his first partner.Let the world burn. She didn’t need anyone’s love. She was strong. She could handle herself. She could handle this.‘Yeah, Kendall. You’re strong. Take a deep breath.’She was still mumbling to herself when a hand slid across
