“A student?”

“Yeah. Freshmen, I believe, given the assignment she was working on. Looked like it was from Intro to English.”

“Okay, so what about her?”

“I think she’s the one. The one we have been searching for.”

Jackson watched Eli’s eyes widen, before he choked on his food. Getting up to grab him a glass of water, he waited until Eli was okay before continuing.

“I know that we agreed a long time ago that students were off limits, but I really do think that she is the Little for us.”

“Does this girl have a name?”

“Destiny. She’s stunning Eli. Beautiful long brown hair, with the prettiest chocolate colored eyes. A little shy and didn’t seem to have a lot of confidence in herself, but I know that can be built up.”

“It seems like you spent a lot of time watching her.”

Jackson blushed and looked away sheepishly. He didn’t want to admit that he stared at her for much longer than what was appropriate, but Destiny entranced him.

“How do you even know that she’s a Little?”

“I don’t, but I have a feeling and we both know that my gut doesn’t usually lead me astray.”

Eli grunted at his words. There was no denying the truth behind his words. It wasn’t often that Jackson grabbed onto something that his gut told him to and it didn’t end up working out just like he knew it would.

They fell into comfortable silence again. From the beginning, there was never a need to fill the void among them.

“I’ll think about it, but you know that this could be a very dangerous thing to pursue. There’s so much we could lose.”

“Yeah Eli, but look at all we could gain.”

Finishing their dinner, Jackson cleared the table and headed into the kitchen to load the dishwasher. They always rotated chores and tonight was his turn to clean since Eli cooked. He knew that he would need to give Eli plenty of space to think about what he told him tonight.

That man never did anything rashly. He constantly had to obsess over the decision and weigh the odds no matter what the issue was.

It was one of the things that Jackson loved about him. Kitchen clean, he turned and walked back over to where Eli sat on the couch.

Stepping between Eli’s spread legs he bent down and pressed another kiss against his lips, groaning when Eli slid his hands into his hair, deepening the kiss.

“What did I tell you about making those sounds, Jackson Lee?”

Not able to hold back the moan that escaped as he felt Eli’s hands slip down the front of his chest slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he went.

Eli pushed Jackson away and stood up. Jackson felt him lean in close, his hot breath on his ear.

“You have two minutes to be on our bed and ready for me. Seems like someone needs a lesson on when he gets to make those sexy noises.”

Jackson turned and sprinted his way towards the bedroom feeling a slap on his butt as he went. Eli’s lessons were his favorite and he couldn’t wait to get this one started.

The following day,Jackson was preparing for another long morning in the library when he heard the door open up. Glancing up at the sound of the bell, a grin crossed his face when he noticed it was Destiny.

Walking inside with her head down, he kept a close eye on her as she made her way back to the same cubicle that she wasin before. He waited to see what she was going to do before interrupting her process. It was cute to watch the internal battle on her face as she debated her next move.

Jackson watched her walk back to the same section that she needed for the research paper she was working on and start pulling books down. His eyes widened as her pile continued to grow.

Refusing to let her carry that many books back to her table, he started making his way across the library. Clearing his throat so not to startle her with his presence, "Hey, Little lady. I’m excited to see you again."

Jackson watched as she whipped her head in his direction and graced him with a smile.
