Tonight, I’d have her in my bed, my body positioned between her thighs, my cock deep inside of her. I’d make her come so many times she couldn’t stand, couldn’t sit properly for how sensitive she was.

I was going to eat her, and when it was all said and done, I’d do it all over again.

“I can’t believe you’re actually doing this.”

I glanced across at Alexis. She was seated on top of a stainless- steel table that was pushed up against the wall in the back area of the coffee shop.

I’d locked up twenty minutes before, had brought a change of clothing with me, and was so nervous my hands were shaking as I removed my hair from the ponytail and finger combed it. I should’ve just told him to meet me at my apartment, or that I’d meet him at the restaurant.

But the prospect of him picking me up, making this feel like a real date, excited me. So, here I was, looking at myself in the small mirror over the sink in the corner, wondering exactly what was going to happen tonight.

Oh, I knew what I wanted to happen, but whether or not Seth would be able to contain himself was another story. His willpower was powerful, far greater than mine. Whereas I would’ve let him fuck me right there in his office with students and faculty coming and going right outside his office door, he’d been able to calmly control himself and chat to his TA like he hadn’t had a finger deep in my pussy only moments before.

I braced my hands on the sink and breathed out slowly. I turned and faced Alexis and saw she had her whole concentration on me. “This is insane, I know it, but it feels so right. It feels so good.”

She cocked her head to the side and offered me a little smile. “You really are that far gone for him, aren’t you?”

I licked my lips and nodded. “I love him, Alexis, and a part of that scares me because I feel it so intensely.” Maybe I shouldn’t have blurted it out right here, right now, but she was the only one I trusted implicitly to talk with about this.

“Gracie, just be careful, okay? You’re so much younger than he is. I don’t know anything about Professor Baldwin, but just the way he looks, the way he behaves himself, it’s evident he’s always in charge, has his shit together. I don’t know how experienced he is in any of this, but I know you. I know how profoundly you care.” She gave me a sad but warm smile. “I know that he could really hurt you if he wanted to and he wouldn’t even realize how deep it went. You’re such an open book, your heart so huge that I know if you let him fully in and things don’t work out, you’ll be shattered.”

She was right and I guess a portion of my worry stemmed from that. But I also wanted to tell her that that wasn’t how it was between us, that I could sense how much he wanted me. That I could feel how deep his feelings ran for me.

They were bottomless.

Just like mine.

When I looked into his eyes, I could see that truth, and I had stretched out and grabbed it, hung on to it like there was nothing else that could keep me stable.

I’d loved him hard, swiftly, and unquestionably. And although I sensed how much he wanted me, cared for me too, I only hoped my feelings didn’t lead me down to where there was no coming back.

Alexis hopped off the table and moved up to me. She brushed her fingers through my hair, fluffing up the curls, and then grinned and took a step back.

“So pretty.” She eyed me up and down, giving me an approving murmur.

“Not too plain?”

She shook her head. “Just perfect.”

I looked at the clock on the wall and knew Seth would be here any time.

“Hey, just be yourself. That’s why he fell for you in the first place.” She walked over to the table and grabbed her purse. “I’ll sneak out the back so it’s not weird, me being there when he shows up.”

I nodded.

I didn’t know how public he planned on making this. Surely if people knew about us, he could get in terrible trouble. But then again, he was picking me up at the coffee shop, where anyone could see us from school. Which led me to conclude he genuinely didn’t give a shit who saw.

“Call me if you need to. If I don’t hear from you the rest the night, I’ll consider that as a good sign.” She gave me a white, straight-toothed grin. “But tomorrow I expect details. I don’t care how nasty they are.”

She winked, and I felt my face flush before I smiled and watched her depart out the back door, the lock automatically clicking in place.

This was it.

I stepped out of the back area and around the counter just as I saw Seth step up to the front door with flurries flying around him. Taking a big breath, I convinced myself that tonight would most likely change everything.

A date with my professor might seem so routine to some, but it wasn’t for me. It was far from it. I walked up to the front door and unlocked it, pulled it open and quickly smelled the fresh, clean, chilly air from the outside. A tiny breeze crept up, brushing some of the strands of my hair down my collarbones, causing goosebumps to race up my arms and legs.

He said nothing as he peered at me, gazed at my body from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. This low murmur of appreciation from him, and I felt my body suddenly come alive, arousal moving over every inch of me.
