And of course our playtime… Well, I don’t have anything to compare it to, but the orgasms are amazing, and he knows all my hotspots.
But I’ve been watching my friends date. I hear them talk about their boyfriends and girlfriends. I can’t say anything. I can’t say anything because Lucas is a professor here. He’s not my professor, but we agreed when we started that we’d keep this thing under wraps.
“You know I can’t be seen with you in public,” he says.
“You just said we might be doing something in public at the club.”
“Yes, I did. But no one associated with the university frequents the club I go to. We will be perfectly safe there.”
Perfectly safe…
“You mean you would be perfectly safe, sir. I wouldn’t be safe at all.”
“Of course you would be. I would never let anything happen to you, Mary.”
I shake my head, tears welling in the bottoms of my eyes. He doesn’t get it.
“I don’t know how else to say it, sir. I’m falling in love with you, and it’s killing me.”
“Mary…”
“Tell me you feel the same way, sir. You must.”

Then I hit send.
Chapter Thirty-Five
Ronan
This feeling overwhelming me is anger. Rage. But something else as well.
Why would I demand that she be at home so I can come straight to her apartment when I return from Las Vegas?
It’s unlike me, and if I’m ready to have a relationship with someone, shouldn’t it be with Keira? Someone I’ve known for five years?
Why would it be with someone I barely know—someone I just met? Hell, I don’t even know what her favorite color is.
Which is why I’m having Phillipe drive me straight to Mary’s apartment from the airport.
I have news. News I don’t particularly like, but news that perhaps makes everything for the best. I found out yesterday that I have to relocate to Las Vegas for the next year. It’s the micromanager in me. This project needs someone in town to oversee it, and I’m new in the States. I can’t ask Sabrina to do it. She has a family in New York. And frankly, I don’t know anyone else who I trust enough.
