Page 96 of Sinful Promise

I thinkit’s safe to say that Emily has forgiven me.

The little shows she’s been giving me around campus when she knows I’m watching her have had me taking myself in my hand multiple times every night. A subtle lift of her skirt to show off her thighs or bending over a desk to give me a perfect view of the swell of her breasts is torture, but I’m enjoying every second.

Maybe it’s due to the prospect of getting caught, or the fact that Zara and Dimitri have no idea that we’re secretly hooking up, but I’m addicted to the thrill.

“You’re driving me crazy, you know that?” I murmur in her ear as I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her flush against me so she can feel the evidence of what she does to me.

We’re standing outside her lecture hall, in plain sight of dozens of students, but I don’t care. Watching her walk across campus in that dress that shows off her thighs has me coyly adjusting my cock, and I want her to know it.

“Who, me?”

“I can’t help but notice that your dresses are getting considerably shorter, Ms. Mullens.”

“My personal bodyguard works very hard…” She grinds her ass against my cock. “I just wanted him to know how grateful I am.”

I bury my face in her neck, inhaling the sweet fruity scent of her hair, as I press my throbbing cock against her backside.

Once again, I find myself desperate for her, but Emily is due in class in less than five minutes.

While I might be skilled with my fingers and could easily get her off in that time, I don’t want to be the reason that she fails her class because she’s too distracted.

Reluctantly, I loosen my hold on her and take a step back. “You should get going.”

Emily spins around and looks at me through her lashes. The reflection of the lights overhead makes her green eyes practically sparkle.

She’s so goddamn beautiful.

I want to make sure everyone knows who she belongs to, but I have to be patient. I don’t want to scare her off when I’ve only just got her back.

“I’ll see you in an hour.” She reaches up on her tiptoes to kiss me softly before heading into her class.

I patiently waitoutside the lecture hall, trying to ignore the thrumming of my blood in my veins as I think of Emily.

A part of me was worried that it would be awkward between us after we slept together, considering the fact that we’ve barely spoken over the past few weeks, but it’s been the opposite. It feels so natural between us, and crossing that line has only confirmed for me that we were meant to be together all along.

I can’t help but curse my past self for being too much of a coward not to admit to Emily how I really felt about her long ago. We could have had so much more time together, and perhaps none of this mess with Igor and the hostess party would have ever happened.

But what’s done is done. I can’t change what happened. What I can do is make sure that I never let her go ever again.

The moment the door to the lecture hall opens an hour later and the students start to file out, I get to my feet and eagerly search through the sea of bored faces for Emily.

But she’s nowhere to be found.

I fight a grin as I sneak past the students inside the now empty lecture hall.

Well, empty except for one occupied seat…

“Are you trying to make my job hard on purpose?” I walk along the back row of seats until I reach Emily.

She looks up from her notebook and smiles.

“I’m not trying to make yourjobhard.” Her eyes roam over my body.

“Emily.”

She chews on her lower lip as she tosses her books onto the seat beside her and leans back in her chair.

“Maybe you should punish me.” She slowly spreads her legs.
