“I’m definitely loving this meal. I know that you’ve been bragging about your cooking skills, but you downplayed them.”
“I’m a humble man, Koi. A humble, patient man who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.”
“And what is it that you want?”
“Don’t play with me, girl. You. From day one, all I wanted was you. Everything starts and ends with that, my desire for you and to pleasure you.”
“I’ve been thinking about what happens after you graduate. I don’t know how we navigate this, Salem. I don’t want to give you up.”
“That’s not an option.”
“But I also don’t want to lose my job.”
“Let me ask you this. What is it about your job that you are afraid of losing? Benefits, salary, colleagues, the work that you do, or the impact you make. What is it?”
She sighed. “I mean, . . . all of those things on some level. They’re all important to me.”
“If you could find all those things at another job or in a different career, what would you miss about the university?”
She thought about that for a moment as she continued chewing her food. When she finished, she replied, “Shaping minds.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s clear that even after I graduate, you’ll still have reservations about being with me because of the implications if anyone were to find out. So, the only way around that is if you were to leave your job.”
“That’s a lot, Salem.”
“It is. Question is, how much do I mean to you? What are you willing to sacrifice to be with me, or are you willing to sacrifice anything?”
She pushed her food aside and crawled around the table to me. She straddled me and locked her arms around my neck.
“Baby, you mean the world to me. I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you, Salem, and that in itself is a risk. You scare me.”
“You ain’t gotta be scared with me, baby. I will always be here for you. I’ve got your back no matter what comes, and I’m in this for the long haul. Think I’ve told you that a few times before.”
“You have. But this feels so good right now. It makes me wonder when the other shoe is going to drop.”
I slid my hands underneath her halter top. “That’s the kinda shit you gotta stop thinking. We already got the world against us. The last thing we need is for you to be sabotaging us from the inside out.”
“That’s not what I’m trying to do.”
“But if you’re putting negative energy out, pretty baby, then that’s what we’re gonna get back.”
Koi pressed her lips into mine, and I cupped her face to pull her deeper into the kiss. Her hips rocked side to side, and she pressed her breasts against my chest. Her tongue was warm and slightly spicy. I wanted her, and I knew there was no way that I could finish the meal.
That was the problem with Koi. Whenever I was around her, I wanted her, and it made it difficult for me to restrain myself. She leaned back and removed her halter top. I lifted one of her breasts to my lips and sucked greedily. She moaned her contentment, and I fingered the other nipple.
“What I tell you ’bout wearing these itty-bitty skirts around me, Professor?”
“That you would fuck me real hard.”
“Damn right. Ya ass don’t listen to instruction too well. So, since you ain’t passing the exam, I think you gon’ have to study a little harder.”
“I like studying,” she replied and giggled against my lips as she shifted up.
I reached inside of my sweatpants and pulled out my dick as she pushed her panties aside. Koi lifted higher until my erection was pressed against her entrance. When she shimmied her way down, she felt so damn good and tight.
