JEREMY
I raised a confused brow as my eyes darted around the class before my gaze flickered over to Lucia, whose expression was even stonier than before. “I’m sorry, what?” I asked, unable to mask the confusion in my voice. Lucia rolled her eyes behind her glasses, clearly annoyed as she shook her head. “It’s clear that you have not been paying attention now, have you?” She asked, her voice stern as those eyes were filled with disappointment, and I did not feel good about it one bit. “I—” I tried to defend myself, but she was not having any of that. “See me after the class.” She growled before continuing with the class, and I would have been upset, but at that moment, I was just glad that I would get some extra time to speak with her. “Uh-oh. You’re in trouble.” I heard Ryan whisper to me, and I rolled my eyes, trying to pay attention this time. I wouldn’t want to be caught slacking off again. Finally, the class was over, and I packed my stuff in my bag just as the other students trooped out of the hall. “We’ll be waiting outside the class. Goodluck.” Dean said, slugging his backpack over his shoulder, and my eyes widened slightly with alarm. The last thing I needed was my friends outside the hall, where they could easily eavesdrop on the conversation between Lucia and I. There’s no need to wait outside the hall. I’ll meet you outside the school when I’m done.” Ryan raised a brow at that. “You sure?” He asked, and I nodded instantly, my eyes darting over Lucia, who was busy packing her computer into her bag. “Fine. We’ll see you later.” Dean replied with a shrug, and the two of them wasted no time making their way out of the lecture hall. Once the hall was empty, I walked towards Lucia, nervous as hell. As beautiful as she was, she was also intimidating, and I could feel my hands sweating at my sides. “Lucia.” I whispered with awe, unable to help the smile which slid onto my face once I arrived in front of her. Her lips thinned, and her eyebrows furrowed into a frown once her eyes landed on me. “I told you not to call me that.” She said, her harsh words slicing through my heart like a sharp knife. I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my hair. “Sorry. Professor Darwin. You wanted to see me?” She instantly placed her hands on her hips, and I just knew that I was about to receive a scolding. I had no choice but to instantly brace myself for it. “Do you not care about your studies, or is this course a joke to you?” My eyes widened with instant horror. “What? Of course not—” “Do not think I will not hesitate to fail you if you do not pay attention in my class.” She cut me off, her expression turning icy, and at that moment, my eyes narrowed on her. I became overcome with a sudden boldness as I took a step closer to her. “W–what are you doing?” She stuttered, taking a step backwards, and I moved close to her till our faces were only inches apart. “Is this about that night? Are you trying to punish me because we slept together? If that’s the case, then it's a shame because I was under the expression that you enjoyed it very much. So did I.” Lucia’s cheeks slowly turned beet red, and I nearly swooned, wishing I could capture this moment forever. “You’re ridiculous, Jeremy!” She exclaimed, looking affronted as her cheeks grew even redder. “Get out.” “But, Professor—” “Go. Now!” I let out a sigh, adjusting my backpack before turning around and walking towards the door. Just before I left, I turned around to look at her, but I saw that she was already looking at me, her expression unreadable. “Go.” She whispered, and another sigh escaped my lips as I trudged out of the hall in a sour mood once again. I wished I could speak to Lucia for much longer. At this point, I didn’t even care that she was being cold and harsh towards me. Any chance to talk to her would be welcome. I needed to devise different means to spend more time with her, even if it meant getting in her bad books one more time. It would be worth it. Anything to just get her attention would be worth it. Since I was done with my only class for the day, I made my way out of the school, ignoring the usual adoring looks from girls that I got and before long, I met up with Dean and Ryan. We made our way to the nearest restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat, and once we settled in our seats, we began talking. “So what did the hot professor say to you?” Ryan asked, and I cleared my throat, popping a stick of fry in my mouth as I instantly avoided eye contact. “Nothing much, really. It's just a bit of scolding and all.” “I wish she would scold me instead.” He said with a dreamy look in his eyes, and I instantly shot him a glare. “You are ridiculous.” Dean said, whacking him right on the head, and that action made me glad. “Ow!” Ryan exclaimed, rubbing the back of his head as an annoyed expression made its way onto his face. I shook my head as we continued eating, our conversation turning light, and soon, it was time to go home. After saying our goodbyes, we went our separate ways with me driving straight home. My father was one of the wealthiest businessmen in all of New York, and it was no surprise that we lived in an overly large mansion. A mansion that felt empty and lifeless half the time despite the fact that I lived with my family. After packing in the driveway, I dragged my feet over to the front door, pressing the doorbell. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing Thomas, the family butler, dressed in an immaculate black suit with a crisp white shirt beneath. “Welcome home, Mr. Hale.” Thomas greeted me as I walked into the mansion. “Looking sharp as always, Thomas.” I said with a wink as I entered further into the mansion, and I heard him chuckle behind me. “Are you ready to have lunch, sir?” “No, that’s alright. I grabbed lunch with my friends.” I replied, taking my bag off my shoulder and pulling off my jacket. “You friends? Are you still hanging out with those boys?” “Yes?” I answered, raising an unsure brow as I turned to him. “Your father asked you not to hang out with them, didn’t he?” Thomas asked, his eyebrows scrunched up with worry. “Well, you’re not going to tell him now, are you?” I asked, a sly smile making its way onto my face as my expression turned mischievous. Thomas was usually a stoic and quiet man, but I knew he would never rat me out to my father. “Fine. I won’t. Just be careful.” “Thank you, Thomas.” I said with a smile, and he nodded before walking away while I went straight to my room. My room was like any typical college boy’s room, but it was much larger and much more luxurious. I collapsed on my king-sized bed with a large sigh without even bothering to pull off my shoes. It didn’t take long before thoughts of Lucia drifted into my head once again. I already had a plan formed in my head, and I couldn’t wait to execute it tomorrow and the days that followed. I would try as much as possible to get in trouble in her class and then she would have no choice, but to scold me after which meant that I would get more time with her and maybe I would be able to convince her to like me again. Despite the fact that she was different. Colder and meaner now, it was still hard not to fall for her. She was just that terrific woman. I got consumed by thoughts of her, and I decided that I needed to clear my head for a moment. I slowly got up from my bed and picked up my guitar, which was lying in the corner of the room. I then went back to my bed and began strumming it with a huge smile on my face. Apart from Lucia. Music was also one of my favourite things. Music was my life. I strummed my guitar, lost in my own world, when I suddenly heard a bang on the door. “Mr. Hale. Put the guitar away. Your father is back!” Thomas’ voice echoed through the door, and I instantly shot up from the bed, my eyes wide with alarm. I fled to the corner of the room, tucking the guitar away safely, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Why the hell was dad home so early? He was not supposed to be back for hours.LUCIA Once Beth left, I slowly prepared for bed, and once I lay down, it didn’t take long for the thoughts that I had been trying to escape to invade my mind.I had made a horrible mistake, and I didn’t even realize it at the time. How could I be so stupid and careless?How could I have sex with my students on campus grounds? In my office? Without even locking the door? There was no explanation for this. I had lost my damn mind. That was for sure. I couldn’t believe what I had done?What if a professor or student walked in on us at the time? What would I have done then?The fact that nobody walked in on us did not make me less afraid. The fact that we did it on school grounds again and again was still horrible.What if someone had heard us from outside? My heart rate sped up at the possibility, and my hands and feet instantly began trembling at the possibility.If someone had overheard us from outside, it meant that we were not off the hook just yet. The thoughts of what could happ
LUCIAMy moans grew louder as I continued shamelessly bouncing up and down on Jeremy’s length, my breasts bouncing with each movement.Jeremy's hands continued roaming around my body; my waist, back, and breasts as he kept worshipping me with his eyes, which had extremely darkened.“Oh, fuck, Lucia. You’re so sexy. You’re killing me. You’re going to fucking end me.” He moaned loudly as I continued bouncing maniacally on his length.Soon, my eyes fluttered shut as my entire body shuddered with release and Jeremy followed right after.I collapsed against me and he held me close as the sounds of our heavy breathing filled the office.“Oh, Lucia,” He grunted, cradling my face delicately in his hands. “You’re perfect.” He said before crashing his lips onto mine once again and it didn’t take long before he began fucking me all over again.Against the desk, against the wall, on the couch in my office. When we were done, I could barely walk and my head was still reeling from what we managed t
LUCIADespite the fact that I asked Jeremy to see me after the class, I waited and waited for him to show up, but he was nowhere to be found.My heart sank deeper and deeper in my chest as the minutes ticked by, and I watched the door again and again as I almost lost my mind, waiting for him to show up.I knew he was with that girl. I could tell, and for a moment, I was tempted to leave the office, find him where he was, and drag him down here, but I figured that would be too excessive.Everything that was happening was my fault in the first place. I was the one who kept pushing him away. I was the one who told him to leave me alone, and he simply did what I asked.I honestly had no right to be mad at him. He was the one who should be mad at me. With those thoughts in my head, I let out a sigh, continuing with my tasks for the day while trying and failing to stop thinking about Jeremy. I managed to teach the rest of my class and soon, it was evening. Jeremy still had not shown himsel
LUCIA My heart fluttered at Beth’s words, and I couldn’t help the tears that began welling up in my eyes.“Oh, sweetie. Don’t cry, okay?” Beth pulled me into a comforting hug, patting my back gently. “Just breathe and tell me what happened.” I pulled away and took in deep breaths just as she suggested before running my fingers through my hair in a thoroughly agitated manner. “I don’t know why I get so worked up over him. He is just a college student for fuck’s sake!” “Is this about Jeremy again?” She asked and I could hear the slight exasperation in her voice. I gulped, nodding instead as I was too upset to form any words. “Oh, sweetie. You really like him, don’t you?” Beth asked, her expression turning sympathetic once more. “I do. I really do,” I breathed, finally admitting those words out loud as my heart sank further in my chest. “That’s why it hurts so much to see him kiss someone else.Beth’s eyes grew wide as saucers at that. “What?! He kissed someone else?”“He did.” I
LUCIAI was shaken by what I saw earlier, but I managed to remain composed as I continued teaching the class. I couldn’t allow my emotions to be turned upside down by a mere college student. That was beneath me.I continued teaching, glad that my voice did not tremble one bit despite how I felt. I was about to round up with the class when my eyes darted towards Jeremy once more. I saw the girl run her fingers over his chin delicately while he gave her a small smile, and I instantly froze, feeling my insides clench with anger and discomfort. I really hated seeing him with someone else, and the level at which it affected me terrified me. I felt my hands clenched into fists by my sides before forcing myself to pay attention back to the class. “Alright, class,” I managed to say, forcefully tearing my eyes away from Jeremy and his little girlfriend. “Make sure I get your assignments in my mail by friday. Class dismissed.” The lecture hall was now filled with noise and chatter as the s
LUCIAJeremy promised to leave me alone, and he kept to his word. Other than the unreadable stares that had become minimal, he wanted nothing to do with me.I should have been ecstatic. I should be jumping up for joy. If things continued this way, I would have nothing to worry about. My life would finally become normal again.Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried to convince myself that Jeremy and I were speaking for the best, I could not help but feel otherwise.Not speaking to him did not feel like the best at all. It felt like the absolute worst. As much as I tried to tell myself that not speaking to him bothered me, I knew I was only lying to myself.It bothered me a lot.I was in a bad mood all day, and the mere thought of staying in my apartment all by myself did not seem so appealing to me. I decided to go out and since I had nowhere else to go, I decided to visit the restaurant and despite the fact that I was supposed to be ignoring Jeremy, I found myself hoping that I wo
