"I thought you wanted to nap." I ran my fingers through her hair, pushing it away from her face.
"Not anymore."
"Thank God." I pulled her to me and placed a kiss on her lips.

I blinked and slowly opened my eyes. I must have fallen asleep with Penny in my arms. I hadn’t slept this well since she’d been in my bed with me. I hadn’t really slept at all since then.
She was smiling down at me, her fingers tracing the side of my neck.
I was glad I wasn’t the only one having trouble keeping my hands to myself. "Hey,” I said and smiled.
"Hey, yourself."
"Were you watching me sleep?" I wasn’t sure why, but the idea made me so happy. She was as infatuated with me as I was with her.
"Mhm. Not in a creepy way, though."
I laughed. "I didn't think it was creepy until you said that it wasn't. Now I'm not so sure." I reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Your bed is extremely uncomfortable." She needed to spend more time in mine. I was pretty sure I could find a way to rectify this situation.
"You get used to it."
I raised my left eyebrow.Yeah right."But I do find it easy to fall asleep next to you. You're the only person that seems to be able to make me relax." My hand lazily wandered down her back and landed on her perfect ass.
She laughed. "Melissa is going to be back soon."
"Did you want me to stay and introduce myself?"
"I don't really want you to leave, but I think it's better if I tell Melissa alone."
"Are you kicking me out?" I smiled at her.
"It's nothing personal."
I kissed the tip of her nose and got up. As much as I didn’t want to leave, telling her friend in private was the better move. This situation was complicated. Penny wrapped the covers around her as I started to get dressed. When I put on my shirt, she got up and slowly buttoned it for me. God she was sexy. After buttoningone of the last buttons, she pulled my collar and brought my mouth to hers.
"You're making it hard for me to leave," I whispered against her lips.
She laughed and let go of my collar. I finished getting dressed as she pulled on her clothes too. As I knotted my tie, I looked around her room again. I spotted the roses I’d sent her in the trash. "Not a fan of roses?"
"Oh I am. It was just that a domineering professor gave them to me. Or else I would have loved them."
I laughed. She loved that I was domineering. "Before I leave, let me see your phone."
She grabbed it off her desk and handed it to me. I changed my contact information to James in her phone and handed it back to her.Professor Hunter in her phone?It had been a ridiculous thing for her to do. But it was also kinky as hell, and I couldn’t be mad about that.
"I thought I wasn't supposed to call you James in private?"
No, you’re not, baby."Apparently your phone isn't private."
She bit her lip. If she kept doing that, I’d be on top of her again in a few minutes. I rubbed my thumb along her lower lip to stop her from biting it and gave her a small smile.
"My girlfriends usually call me James."
