"I hope you understand that I'm not trying to avoid the subject... it's just that... well, I want this assignment to be fair and impartial. You're a very special student to me, and I wouldn't want anyone to think that there was favoritism involved." She takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "So, do we have a deal? We can work on it together after class today?"

"Great! Just let me finish up here and then we can get started," she says with a nervous laugh. As she gathers her things, she can't help but feel excited about spending more time alone with Nikalai. The thought of being so close to him makes her heart race and her cheeks flush. Perhaps this assignment will be the perfect way for them to grow closer...

She glances at him over her shoulder as she leaves, making sure not to seem too eager.

Her breath came in ragged gasps as she continued to explore his body with her lips and hands. She could feel the growing evidence of his arousal through their clothing, and it made her heart race even faster. "Ryan," she moaned against his skin, "I need you."

Her body arched into his touch as he spoke, her lips parting in a gasp that was quickly muffled by the fabric of his shirt. A rush of adrenaline coursed through her veins at his words; she knew there was no going back now. With shaking hands, she reached up to unbutton his shirt, revealing the hard muscles beneath.

As he pulled away from her long enough to slip out of his jacket and toss it aside, she moaned softly in protest at being left cold.

Ahhh... I'm close... So close... Just a little more... Just like that... There it is! Ahhhh! LORUN! I can feel your release inside me; so hot and tight.

Now, lie down next to me and hold me close. Kiss me gently on the lips; let me taste myself on your tongue. This was our first time together, but I hope it won't be our last... as long as we remember to trust each other and respect our limits.

Mmm... you feel so warm and heavy in my arms. I never thought that someone like you would be interested in me this way, but I'm glad beyond measure that you were. It means more to me than you could ever know.

Now, though we have time before anyone else arrives, we should probably get dressed and head back out into the library so it looks like nothing untoward happened here tonight... But don't worry; I'm sure our secret will be safe between us.

"A whore?" He laughs, the sound bitter but not without humor. "We both know that's not true. You were just curious, just wanting something else, something more. And who could blame you? Your life has been anything but easy lately."

I look up at him, tears welling in my eyes once again. "But I still have everything to lose... My job, my reputation, maybe even my marriage..." He cups my face in his hands, his gaze intense and unwavering. "

Exhausted, I drift off to sleep, dreams of our wild encounter already haunting my subconscious.

He left too soon, but I'll remember every moment. You're the one I want. smiling
