Semua Bab On Her Professor’s Bed: Alpha’s Plaything: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter Sixty-two Talon Maverick She was still as tempting as ever. And even though I didn’t want to show it—didn’t want her to know just how much she still got to me, the way she had from the very first moment we met—it was impossible to ignore. I had spent days trying to erase the image of her walking into her apartment with another man. Days convincing myself that it shouldn’t matter. That she shouldn’t matter. But now, standing here, looking at her? Every bitter thought vanished, replaced by the sweet, tormenting memories of everything we had shared. I didn’t know what was wrong with me—what spell this girl had cast—but it was working. Gods, it was working. Because no matter how much she got under my skin, no matter how much she drove me insane, the feeling of having her near was something I never wanted to lose. Ever. “Professor Maverick.” Her voice was low, calm, but it carried every ounce of that spell, wrapping around me like a noose, leaving me hanging a

Chapter Sixty-four Talon Maverick Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined this moment. Never had I thought that a day like this would come—a day when I’d stand in front of a woman who was supposed to be nothing more than my student and confess my love to her. A love I never thought I was capable of feeling again. A love I had sworn off. And yet, here I was, telling her everything, exposing every emotion I had buried for so long. And hell… it felt good. So damn good. Every single moment with her felt right. I never thought this day would come, but now that it was here, it was perfect. My chest felt lighter, as if a weight I had carried for far too long had finally been lifted. And then there was her—standing before me, her eyes glistening with tears, a stark contrast to the soft, trembling smile on her lips. Just being this close to her made me feel invincible, like I was on top of the world, like there was nothing that could shake me anymore. Thalina had been my stre

Chapter Sixty-six Thalina Maverick took a couple of steps backward, his gaze never leaving mine as he reached for the shawl that had fallen to the ground. Without uttering a word, he spread it out, smoothing the fabric over the neatly laid grass. Then, still holding my stare, he began to unbutton his shirt. Slowly. Deliberately. Taunting. My breath caught in my throat as each button came undone, revealing inch by inch of his sculpted chest, the ridges of muscle flexing beneath his skin. And when he finally shrugged the shirt off and let it fall, I gasped. Had he somehow grown even bigger in the days since I last saw him like this? Was that even possible? His arms, his chest—every part of him looked impossibly defined, carved like a god. Had he spent the past few days we weren’t speaking at the gym just to torment me like this? I barely had time to recover from that before he moved again, his fingers finding his fly. The sound of the zipper sent a shiver through me, ant

Chapter Sixty-eight Talon Maverick Today was the day—the day I never saw coming and never thought would arrive. Today was the day I planned to tell Thalina everything I had been keeping from her. I needed to tell her to finally feel at peace with myself. After what happened last night—what we shared—I couldn’t shake the guilt of having lied to her. The sincerity in her eyes when she spoke those words to me shattered me into pieces. Hell, I couldn’t keep lying to her. I couldn’t even look into her eyes knowing that all I had done was deceive her. She didn’t even know the most important thing about me. She didn’t know who she was really with. She didn’t know my true identity. If I wanted forever with her, like I said, it would have to be without lies. I wanted a forever filled with peace, love, and everything Seraphina could never give me—everything I thought I would never have again. Lina had changed me. She had changed my belief about love, and hell, she had turned me into a

Chapter Seventy Thalina He had to be joking. This had to be a terrible joke. There was no way Fenris had already found the Alpha King. No way he had figured out that Professor Maverick was the Alpha King. I shook my head, struggling to believe it. “You’re joking, right?” “No, Lina,” he said, his eyes lighting up with a victorious smile. “We finally found the Alpha King. We can finish this mission and go back home—back to where we belong.” He grabbed my shoulders, grinning from ear to ear, but there was nothing amusing about what he’d just said. He found the Alpha King? He found Professor Maverick? What was he going to do now? Run to Father? Set another trap to use him? No. I couldn’t let that happen. There was no way I’d just stand by and let them hurt him. I had to protect him. I had to stand by him, even if it would be the last thing I’d ever do. Finish the mission and go home. That’s what Fenris said. But the truth was—I had never belonged there. Home had
