CHAPTER 10

Eve

"Mmmmm."

We wake on Monday morning still tangled up in one another.All of Sunday was spent in this same position.We barely got out of bed to brush our teeth and open the door for our food deliveries.

The stretching begins automatically, and I smile when I see his beautiful face staring down at me.Placing his thumb on my chin, he pulls down, parting my lips.He runs his thumb down my throat, between my breasts, and all the way to my clit where his fingers ensure that my day is started off with his name on my lips.

.............................

He's following me into the math building...Where is his class?Where are all of his classes?What's his major?What are his plans for the future?Do they include me?My alter ego puts me in check with acalm the fuck down, Eve.You're still not a full week into this thing and you're trying to plan a wedding.Point taken, voice of reason.Point taken.He could be a serial heartbreaker and do this whirlwind erotic weekend stuff with a new girl every week.My stomach rolls and threatens to toss onto the floor at the thought of Adam with another girl.Adam has been with other girls though.Gun to my head, my guess is a lot of other girls.Adam pulls me from my revelry when he pulls me inside my class.

"How do you know where my class is?"

"That first day we met when you assaulted me in the hallway, you walked into this class."

"Oh, right.Okay.Thanks.Where is your class?"

He smirks and shakes his head as if I should get the joke he hasn't voiced.Still clutching my hand in his, he leads me toward the top of the stairs...toward...my seat.How does he know where I sit?He slides into the chair right beside me.

"What are you doing?Don't you have class this hour?"

"Yes.I do."

"Are you going?"

"Yes, Wildcat.I'm in my class right now."

"Wait."I look around, making sure that I'm in the right class."You're not in this class.This is my class.I've been in here all semester."

"I know.You got yourself exempt from the mid-term last week.So did I.Only, I had to write down the equation, unlike you."

I stare at him, dumbfounded.How does he know I got an exemption?Why does he think he got one?Or that he would even need one?

"I've never seen you in here before."

"Hmmm.That's odd.Who is in this class with you?"

This will take a moment.Who is in here?I know Professor Stalk.He's definitely the instructor and then there's...Damn it.Is he really in this class?Am I really that self-involved?

I look around the large room.There are only a few people in here but, their faces are wholly unfamiliar to me.

"I don't know any of them."

"Okay.Just describe what one of them looks like."

"Uhm, okay.Sure.There's this one girl...she's average height, brown hair."

"Whoa!Calm down with the descriptors there, Wildcat.You don't want me thinking that you're secretly stalking the girl, do you?"

"Okay so I don't pay a lot of attention to people's faces."

"Could that be because you're too busy hiding your face and trying to go unnoticed?"
