All Chapters of Craving Lust: A Spicy Romance Collection: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Chapter 1 Emily’s POVI burst through the door of Dr. Dario Hale’s office fifteen minutes late, my backpack slipping off one shoulder and my heart hammering. There he was, sitting behind a desk stacked with papers, looking every bit the no-bullshit professor in his crisp button-down shirt rolled up to his elbows. His dark eyes lifted slowly from the notebook in front of him, locking onto me without a hint of surprise or welcome.“You’re late,” he said, his voice low and steady, cutting through. No hello, no bullshit pleasantries. Just that flat statement that made my stomach tighten in a way I wasn’t ready for.I dropped my bag on the chair across from him and tried to catch my breath, pushing my hair out of my face. “Yeah, sorry about that. Traffic was a nightmare and my last class ran over. It won’t happen again, I swear.”Dr. Hale leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his broad chest. The fabric of his shirt stretched tight across his shoulders, and for a second I cou

Chapter 3Emily’s POV“I got your message about the extra session tonight,” I said, stepping into his office after the sun had already gone down. The entire building felt emptier, and quieter, with just the two of us. My pulse picked up the second I saw him standing by the window, sleeves rolled up again, looking more relaxed yet somehow more dangerous in the low light.Dr. Dario Hale turned around slowly. “Good. You need the extra time. Regular hours aren’t enough for how much ground we have to cover. Close the door behind you.”I shut it with a soft click and sat down, my skirt riding up my bare thighs as I crossed my legs. The room felt smaller tonight, his presence filling every inch of it. “You really think more hours with you is going to magically fix me? I barely slept after the last one.”He moved closer, pulling a chair right next to mine instead of staying behind the desk. “Sleep less, focus more. Now open your notebook to where we left off. That integral problem gave you

Chapter 5Emily’s POV“Dad, it wasn’t like that,” I said quickly outside the review board room, my voice cracking as I tried to keep up with him. He had stormed in earlier and laid into Dario right in front of the committee about boundaries and power abuse. Now everything hung in the balance.Dr. Dario Hale stood tall when they questioned him later. “I pushed her because she needed it. My methods worked. I won’t apologize for making her own her success.” His eyes met mine across the table and something hot and possessive flashed there even in the middle of this mess.The committee excused Dario while they reviewed their notes. The room emptied slowly, leaving behind an uneasy silence that seemed to press against my chest.I sat alone on the hard wooden bench outside the hearing room, twisting the ring on my finger over and over until my skin turned red. Every passing second felt heavier than the last.My father stood a few feet away, arms folded tightly across his chest. He didn’t

Chapter 2Jay’s POVThe next few days I tried to stay the fuck out of her way. I buried myself in work, spending extra hours in the garage wrenching on that old Mustang that needed a full rebuild. The house felt too small with Lena in it, her laughter carrying down the halls when she talked to Victoria, her scent lingering in the kitchen. Every time I came in for food she was there, shooting me that sharp look that made my blood run hot. I kept telling myself she was just another pain in the ass stepaunt type, nothing more. But my dick had other ideas, staying half interested whenever she walked by in those tight little outfits.I was under the hood of the Mustang late one afternoon, sweat dripping down my back, when the side door creaked open. I didn’t need to look up to know it was her. The air changed, got thicker somehow.“Still playing with your toys out here?” Lena’s voice cut through the radio I had playing low. She sounded bored but she came closer anyway, her footsteps lig

Chapter 4Jay’s POVTwo days after that night on the Mustang I couldn’t keep my hands off her. Every chance we got alone the clothes came off and we went at it like animals. This morning I caught her in the hallway coming out of the bathroom, towel barely wrapped around her wet body. Water still dripped down her neck between her tits. My cock hardened instantly at the sight.Lena saw me and her eyes darkened. Instead of covering up she let the towel slip a little. “Looking for something, Jay? Or just following me around the house now like a lost dog?”“Shut up and get in here,” I said, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the small laundry room off the hallway. The door clicked shut behind us. I spun her around, pressing her front against the washing machine. My hands yanked the towel off completely, letting it pool at her feet. Her ass looked perfect, round and firm as I squeezed it hard.She pushed back against me, grinding. “You’re getting bold. What if someone walks by? Victor
