He told her. "I don't think I can fuck you gently. Not when you're driving me crazy and bringing my fantasies to life." ************************* When Maya was accepted to her dream school, Emerald School Of Arts, she cried for an hour.

A month later, Maya was sitting in the front row of class when her professor walked in and he was no other person that the man she sold her virginity to.
