A Whirlwind of Color - Chapter 31
Monday
Oh my God, tell him.I read the words as fast as I could. It was a scene I could picture clearly. I wasn’t sure if it was because I was a great writer or if it was because it was helping me remember. James had said the book was super detailed. But those probably weren’t the reasons I could visualize what was happening so easily. I had walked the green hundreds of times. I knew the campus like the back of my hand.No!Tell him!
The chapter ended with the door closing with a thud. And me referring to seeing James again as a date. And leaving the lie of me being at least 21 hanging there. Why the fuck hadn’t I just told him the truth? I just wanted to scream at the character, rip her out of the pages, and shake her.So mortifying.
I blamed the booze. Vodka was a seductive mistress. I was also horrified that my shirt was see-through in the rain. And that I had just kneed Tyler in the nuts. And that I was drunk and underage in front of my dreamy professor. A girl could lose her senses when all that had just happened.
Regardless, it was pretty clear that I had been smitten with James immediately. Tyler had never stood a chance. Maybe if I had run into him first. But that’s not how the story went. I'd met James. And I had fallen head over heels for him despite knowing that it was wrong. Somehow it being wrong just made it even more appealing. To me now and to me then.Something must be wrong with me.
I put the pages of the manuscript on the coffee table and stood up to stretch. I hadn’t read very much, but my mind was racing. I could feel the chemistry through the pages. It was undeniable. But it was still hard to believe I’d sleep with my professor. That I’d fall in love with someone so utterly unattainable.
And what did James mean by details? I leaned over and flipped the manuscript to a random page and scanned. Nothing unusual. I flipped to another page and my eyes bulged.
He pushed my back against the tile. "Is there something that you wanted?" His voice was so seductive.
I gulped. "Yes." His torso glistened from the water flowing down it. And the steam from the shower surrounded him. God he was sexy. He looked almost ethereal.
He leaned over and took one of my nipples in his mouth and bit it lightly. He pinched my other nipple between two of his fingers. I writhed under his touch.
"And what is it that you want?" He left a trail of kisses down my stomach and stopped right where I wanted it the most. I could feel his warm breath.
"You."
"Do you mean like this?" He stroked my pussy with his tongue.
"Professor Hunter," I moaned.
He put his knees on the tile floor and lifted my thighs over his shoulders. While I was admiring his strength, he slid two fingers inside of me.
I gasped.
"Or maybe you'd prefer that I fuck you with my fingers?" His dirty words made me want him even more.
"Yes!"
He moved his lips to my clit and sucked on it hard. I was pinned against the shower wall, completely immobile. He pumped his hand faster, moving his fingers in and out of me. His tongue continued to stroke my clit, driving me crazy.
"Yes!" I screamed again.
He pushed my thighs even farther apart. The position allowed his fingers to go even deeper. He was licking and swirling his tongue over my clit. I could feel my body begin to shudder in his arms. He placed his lips around my clit again and sucked hard.
"Professor Hunter!"
I threw the pages back down, scattering them across the coffee table.Holy shit.My whole body felt hot. James was right about the details. Vivid, mind-blowing details. I swallowed hard. I almost felt like I was drunk like I had been in that scene where James had walked me home. I pushed the pages back together so no one would be able to see the heated scene I had just beenreading. I needed fresh air. A walk would help clear my head and cool me off. I walked over to Melissa and Josh’s room and knocked on the door.
“Hey, Melissa?”
She opened the door and blew a strand of hair out of her flushed face.
I stifled a laugh. I was almost 100 percent sure she had just been banging Josh.
“What’s up?” she asked.
“I was wondering if you could watch Scarlett? She’s upstairs sleeping, so she won’t be much trouble. But I wanted to go for a walk…”
“Oh, I can come with you. Just give me a sec.”
