All Chapters of Tame This Bad Boy, Professor: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter Sixty-EightLucian chugged down the last shot and slammed the glass down on the table. Cheers erupted around him. “You handle your alcohol well, Mr Meyers,” Laura laughed. “That’s your tenth shot and I'm still struggling on my second because I'm too scared to get drunk. “Hmmpphhh,” Lucian nodded absentmindedly, reaching for the next bottle. Laura exchanged glances with the other professors. They'd decided to go out for drinks after the college exams to unwound from the day’s stress and toast to ending the semester in one piece. Laura was certain that Lucian would decline so she had prepared to convince him. He'd been very quiet in the last few weeks and withdrew from everyone. She rarely caught him in his office and at a certain point, he stopped showing up to the college all together. Most of her calls went unanswered with one word responses to her texts. She suspected it might have had something to do with his lover’s disappearance but she never got the chance to ask him

Chapter SeventyA Rash Decision “I’m going to Easton.”Terry looked up from his laptop at the anxious man before him. He was still in the black pants he wore to bed last night and his hair was a wreck. The skin around his eyes was swollen, giving a puffy, worn appearance. That would be expected since Lucian hasn’t spent the last few days trying to reach Artemis. Terry leaned against the couch. This was actually the first thing Lucian had said to him regarding Artemis since the incident. “That’s fine. A boring retirement plan seems very on brand for you,” Terry shrugged, playing dumb. Lucian’s tongue clicked.“I’m going after him,” he admitted. Terry arched a brow. “You mean the same person that explicitly wanted you not to show your face to him? The one who blocked every number you’ve texted him with in the last three days?”Lucian's jaw locked but Terry wasn’t done talking. “I’ll say you should let him be. The kid deserves better than some half-baked affection. If you ask me, I'

Chapter Seventy-TwoDEEP DEEP HURTLucian sat by the window, taking sip after sip as he waited for Artemis to return. It was past 1am. Earlier, he’d gone grocery shopping to stock up the kitchen because Artemis had nothing in those drawers, except cereal. He'd downloaded a bunch of cooking videos and recipes to guide him with dinner. He never had to cook for anyone before so he had no special skills but this time he didn't want to serve Artemis bland or just anything edible. He put in a lot of effort to make it work and hoped it would pay off, but now, he didn’t even care about the food and just wanted Artemis to come back to him safe. Another shot of vodka went down his throat. He barely felt the burn. Alcohol was simply not enough to distract him from the clock. 1.17 am. Artemis wasn't answering his calls. He wasn't answering the texts either. Lucian's thumb hovered over the screen before locking it again.He forced himself to stop. Both Terry and Laura had asked him to give t

Chapter Seventy-FourLucian turned around and walked to Artemis. The boy remained on the spot, though surprise momentarily flashed in his features. Lucian cupped Artemis’s face with both hands and kissed him deeply. He poured in every emotion he felt inside into the kiss. The hurt, heartbreak, disappointment, everything. Artemis was a stunned for the first couple of seconds.Lucian was kissing him. That was all his brain processed. The familiar warmth made his heart flutter and for a second—just one second, he almost gave in but the mental image of Lucian standing next to his father, laughing and bragging about how easy playing Artemis was, clouded his mind and his hands moved on instinct. Lucian blinked as Artemis shoved him aggressively and wiped his mouth like he was the most disgusting thing ever. Lucian had never felt as filthy as he did right now. “I'm sorry,” he apologized, even though his insides were ripping apart. “I… I shouldn’t have…”“Damn right, you shouldn’t,” Artem

Chapter Seventy-sixCANCELLEDLucian was caught between explaining things to Laura and appeasing the fuming Artemis. “Art…” the name fell off his lips before he even realized it. He hurried over to Artemis before the boy could reach, ignoring Laura’s question. He also didn’t want Artemis to see him talking to Laura. That would only fuel his anger. “I'm sorry. I just thought it’d be easier if there was a sofa. Your living room is one big empty space so…”“So that makes it okay to ignore my wishes?” Artemis cut short Lucian’s explanation. “I’m not even allowed to do whatever I want with my space just because you’re in it?”“No…” Lucian breathed, “I wasn’t trying to disrespect you or anything. I just wanted to do something nice for you…”Artemis let out a humorless chuckle. “Something nice for me? I don’t remember telling you I needed anything from you. I have the money to get anything I freaking want, Lucian! If I wanted some home decor, I know exactly where to get it and I sure as hel
