THIAGO'S POVI stood beneath the shower with both hands pressed against the tiled wall, letting it run over my head and shoulders as I tried to slow my breathing.It wasn't working.I closed my eyes.Ariana.Her name came into my mind immediately.The feel of her fingers gripping my shirt. Her arms around my neck. The way she had tilted her face toward mine when I kissed her. And that quiet sound she'd made against my lips."Hmm... Professor..."My jaw tightened.I turned my face into the stream of water and exhaled slowly.I shouldn't have kissed her.That was the first thought that came to me.The second was worse.I wanted to kiss her again.I shut my eyes tighter. "Fuck."I pushed myself away from the wall and stood beneath the water, letting it pour over me while I tried to convince myself that walking away had been the right decision.It had been.It was the only decision I could have made but that didn't make it easy.I could still feel her hands around my neck. I could still r

ARIANA'S POVI quickly looked back down at my paper whenever I caught myself doing it, pretending I had suddenly become extremely interested in the question I was answering.I hadn't.I was thinking about him.About the kiss.About the fact that we were in the same room again after everything that had happened. Sitting a few feet away from him while he worked on his laptop felt more nerve-racking than the actual kiss itself.I tightened my grip around my pen and forced myself to keep writing.Beside me, Maya was almost done with her test. I could tell from the way she kept checking the last few questions and flipping through the pages.A few minutes later, she placed her pen down and gathered her paper.She leaned toward me and pointed at her test, then toward Professor Thiago, silently asking if she should submit it.I nodded.She gave me a small smile before standing.Professor Thiago looked up when she approached his desk, and Maya placed her paper in front of him.He glanced throu

ARIANA'S POVI was curled up on my bed with my blanket pulled over my legs, completely lost in the romance novel resting in my hands. A packet of chips was beside me, along with a half-empty bottle of juice and a few snacks I'd been reaching for without even realizing how much I'd eaten, and there were used packets scattered carelessly across the floor.I turned another page, my eyes moving quickly across the words, and a quiet giggle escaped me when the male lead finally kissed the female lead after spending almost the entire book pretending he didn't like her."Finally," I muttered, shaking my head as I continued reading.I was so caught up in the story that I barely noticed the time passing until a knock suddenly sounded from the living room.I groaned softly and lowered the book. "Who is that?"Another knock followed.I reluctantly pushed the blanket aside and climbed off the bed, still holding the novel in one hand. I was wearing a loose tank top and a pair of black bum shorts, a

ARIANA'S POVMy arms were still wrapped around his neck, my fingers buried in his dark hair while his lips moved against mine. Every step he took sent another chill through me.Was I really doing this with my professor?Even with that, I still couldn't seem to make myself pull away. I was too caught up in the warmth of his body, the firmness of his arms around me, and the way he kissed me like he had forgotten I was his student.Then I might as well forget he was my professor.The back of my legs touched the edge of the bed as he finally lowered me onto the mattress.I barely had time to breathe before he leaned over me again.His lips found mine immediately.I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, meeting every kiss he gave me. His hand settled against my waist, keeping me close as his other hand pressed into the mattress beside my head.I could feel his breath against my skin between kisses, warm and slightly uneven now.His hands left my waist and brushed against t

ARIANA'S POVScott.My hand dropped slowly from the shelf as I stared at him, my brain refusing to accept what my eyes were seeing.What was he doing here?Of all the people I could have run into in the library, why did it have to be him?Scott stood in front of me with a completely blank look on his face, the book I couldn't reach still in his hand. He didn't look surprised to see me. He didn't look angry either. He simply looked at me like running into his ex-girlfriend in the library was the most normal thing in the world.I didn't know what to make of it.My heart started beating faster, not because I wanted him there, but because seeing him brought back too many things I didn't want to remember.The hurtful things he said to me. The way he cheated on me and still managed to make me feel like everything was somehow my fault.I swallowed and forced myself to look away from his face.I wasn't going to stand there and let one stupid encounter ruin my day.Scott glanced at the book in
