Professor: A First Time Novel(27)

Chapter 14

Ellie





A day later, and the question is still rattling around my head.





What are we? Scandalous, wrong, forbidden? What label, or definition of any kind can someone call Liam and I that isn’t a negative one?





Exciting, maybe? There’s no other way to describe the feeling I have just walking into his classroom, let alone the times we’ve been alone, or the times he’s touched me, and made me feel. We’re having fun, and honestly, I wonder if that would be enough if that’s all it is, but I get the feeling it isn’t.





And that part thrills me.





It’s later, after the lecture, and this time, I’ve caught his eye after class and lingered.





“Ms. Thompson, I was hoping to go over your last paper in my office,” he says pointedly, raising an eyebrow suggestively even though we’re the only two people left in the lecture hall. He moves closer to me, and just like every other time he’s near, I can feel the familiar tingle creep over my skin. I can smell the manly, woodsy smell of him invade my senses, sending my head spinning and my body burning as he steps closer to me.





And then, of course, I open my big dumb mouth.





“What are we?”





I cringe the second it spills from my lips, instantly wishing I could stuff it back down inside.





Liam grins at me, his eyes twinkling. “We’re having fun, aren’t we?”





I start to say something, but he suddenly presses a finger to my lips as he leans closer and brushes his lips across my ear. “But if you think this all this is, baby,” he growls. “Than I think I better do something to correct that.”





I close my eyes and let myself fall into him, even knowing how exposed we are alone here in the big lecture hall. His arms go around me, and I can feel his heart thumping though his chest into my ear.





“You need to know that I’ve never done this before,” his voice teases into my ear, making me warm all over.





“This?”





“A student,” he says darkly, and I can feel a shiver run down my spine as I feel his hands slide over my sides. “It’s nothing I’d have ever considered, you should know that. I just wish it was easier for us,” he murmurs into my ear.





Ally’s words come back to me, and I take a quick breath before I open my mouth again. “We could go do something?”





He chuckles and raises a brow. “Little tricky in a small town like this.”





I slowly nod, feeling my shoulders start to slump before suddenly, he’s chuckling. “You know what? Fuck it, let’s do it.”





The smile creeps across my face as I raise my eyes to look at him. “Really?”





“Yeah, really.” His lips brush across mine, making my heart skip a beat. “I want to take you out, Ellie Thompson. A real date.”





“You’re serious?” I raise a brow skeptically at him. He’s right, this is a small town, and even if people don’t recognize him as a professor and me as a student, we’d still raise eyebrows. He’s still twice my age, and I’m fairly certain that our behavior would certainly say we aren’t father and daughter or anything like that.





“I’m serious as can be, baby,” he says with a roguish grin. “We’ll go two towns over if we have to, but I’m taking you out.”





I grin. “My my, Professor Martin, when did you become such a gentleman?”





“Oh, gentleman?” I gasp as he suddenly pulls me into him, his arm around my waist and his hand cupping my ass firmly in his palm. His lips brush against my ear again, and this time, I moan as I feel his tongue and his breath across my skin there. “Don’t think for a second that this means I’m not going to fuck that sweet little pussy of yours too.”





“You promise?” I gasp out, feeling the wet heat bloom between my legs.





His fingers slide over my ass and under my skirt, and I gasp as I feel them push between my legs and stroke my pussy through my wet panties. I start to clutch at his shirt, but suddenly he’s pulling away and grinning at me. “I’ll pick you up outside the english building at seven,” he says with a wink. He reaches down and lets his thumb brush over the hard little nub of a nipple poking through my shirt, and I moan.





Voices from down the hallway moves us apart in a flash, and then he’s gathering his papers as I start to head for the door with a huge grin on my face.





“Oh, and Ellie?” I turn to see his eyes burning right into mine.
