Page 5 of A Daddy for Christmas 3: August
“What if I don’t like chocolate?” Auggie asked.
Thor gave him a shocked look. “You don’t like chocolate?”
“Well, no, I do. But if I didn’t…?”
“Then I guess I would be the one taking it home to have later tonight. So it still would have been a win.”
Okay. It seemed the professor was a glass half full kind of guy.
Thor scooped up a spoonful of his mousse and put it in his mouth, then he made this very sexual noise. “Damn, so so good. You’ll have to let me know what you thought of it next week.”
“Sure.” He had to clear his throat because that had come out a little rough. “I can do that.”
He stayed until Thor finished his dessert, because it would have been rude to just leave after Thor had brought him one to take home, not because watching Thor eat the mousse was hot. But it totally was.
Once he was done, though, Auggie made his escape.
“Well, I should head off. Thank you for supper. I appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome.” Thor pushed over a plastic bag that he hadn’t noticed on the tray. “For your dessert.”
“Oh, cool.” That would make carrying it home much easier.
He put his dessert in the bag and waved awkwardly. “Okay. Thanks again, bye.”
“See you next week, Auggie.”
He offered Thor a smile and headed out, feeling Thor’s eyes on his back. Somehow he felt more naked than he had when he’d been up on the dais modeling.
Chapter
Two
Thor had to admit that he was very much looking forward to the next beginners life drawing class he was teaching. Not because teaching it was so wonderful—although it was definitely interesting—but he wanted to see if Auggie was as cute and sexy in person as his memory was insisting the guy was.
He’d thought he was going to have to find a new model, but then the guy had shown up about twenty minutes into class. Cute as a button, cheeks red with exertion. It had been easy to believe his reasons for being late, given the huffing and puffing; clearly running had been involved.
Thor thought there was a spark between them. Of course, that could have just been that Auggie brought out his Daddy tendencies. The boy clearly needed a keeper. Being late, skipping meals, choosing a high-sugar caffeine drink instead of something more reasonable, not knowing he was out of money in his account… They all screamed for someone to take Auggie under his wing and help instill some good habits.
So here he was, his usual fifteen minutes early to the classroom, wearing a tight pair of jeans and an even tighter T-shirt. He grinned at himself. He was wearing seduction clothes. He hoped they worked because he planned to ask Auggie tosupper again, but this time, he wanted to go to somewhere nicer than the student union cafeteria.
He’d only just started setting up the easels when the door opened again, revealing Auggie. A little early, much better. The boy gave him a wave and headed for the alcove. Thor grabbed the robe from his bag and followed. He knocked on the wall as he went in, just in case Auggie was mid-disrobing.
“Here you go.” He offered the robe over.
“Thanks! Not everyone provides a robe.”
Thor shrugged and smiled. “It seems like the polite thing to do.”
“Well, I appreciate it.”
He went back to setting up the easels, and a few minutes later, Auggie came out of the alcove, body totally covered in the large robe, the sash tied around his waist.
“You want some help?” Auggie asked.
“Sure. You can set a palette, a pot of water and a pot of brushes by each easel. I’ll set the charcoal out for them.”
“Cool.” Auggie did as he’d asked, helping him set the classroom up, even after students started trickling in. It was almost time for the class to start when they were done and he nodded at the dais, Auggie heading for it.
