“Congratulations,” he says to my mom and Diego. “I should have been here with Andie,” he adds. “I’ve apologized to her, and now I want to apologize to you both.” He glances to me before moving his attention away. “I’m sorry I let her down when she needed me the most...I love Andie, and I’m an asshole for letting her down.”
“I agree,” Diego mutters, but shuts up when my Mom shoots him a death glare.
She’s good at those.
“Every relationship has its ups and downs, Sawyer. Andie admitted that she hadn’t been specific when she messaged you, and she’s already told us what was going on with you. So you don’t owe us anything. We’re just happy that you’re here with her now.”
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” His gaze dips and then he glances toward me. “The college rules say we can’t be together because is unethical.” He turns to the others. “Someone who didn’t like me turning her down has told the Dean of the department about us, and showed him some pictures that show us together.”
“Fucking hell!” Diego curses. “Some bitch has taken pictures of you two?” He waves his hand between the two of us.
“Yes. Exactly what you’re thinking.” I continue telling them what’s going on and why Sawyer and I have to be more careful than before. “The thing is that we’ll probably have to go out of town if we want to spend any time together. I hate it. But it’s for six weeks now. Then after graduation who cares whether or not we’re seen together.”
“I don’t like this.” Diego paces. “I want to know who has been spying on you both.”
“We’ll handle it,” I reassure him, while passing Emile to Sawyer who looks startled.
I give him my chair and move to Diego. “We do know who it is and she’s another Professor at the college. It’s a difficult situation, but like I said before it’s only six weeks until graduation when it won’t matter if Sawyer is with me anymore.”
“I think Eric should look into this.” Diego stubbornly stands beside my mom, his arms crossed in front of him.
“Diego, you’re too far away.”
He smiles down at his wife and gently lifts her into his arms before tak
ing her seat. Mom snuggles into him and Sawyer passes Emile back to them.
“I appreciate you wanting to do something, but I will deal with it. I’m not sure what I’ll do yet, as I have to be careful because of Andie’s graduate program. But she isn’t going to get away with what she’s done. Part of me wants to go to the chancellor, but then I’ll be fired and Andie might be asked to leave. I can’t risk that.”
Diego nods. “I can’t promise that nothing won’t be said if I should come across her at the graduation, but I’ll leave the payback to you.”
I offer him a wry smile. “Thank you.” I move over to him and kiss his cheek. “It’s a really good feeling knowing that you want to protect me...Weird as well considering our ages, but good all the same.”
He chuckles. “You’re welcome.” He kisses my mom on her cheek and says to me, “You do know that you’re a De La Fuente now too? Maybe not in name, but certainly in love...don’t forget that, okay?”
Sawyer slips his arm around my waist and settling against him, I reply to Diego, “I won’t.” Smiling at Sawyer, I add, “Let’s go.” I roll my eyes as I look back at Mom and Diego snuggling with Emile. “We'll be back later.”
“Okay, honey,” Mom says, a lovely blush coating her cheeks. “Not too late though as we settle down here early.”
“We’ll call in before dinner.” Taking hold of Sawyer’s hand, I lead him out of the room.

Sawyer
Having Andie sitting at the front of the auditorium and Dean Johansson at the back, took close to an hour for me to get fully involved into the class. Andie, unless she wants to tease, doesn’t bother me anymore, but the Dean made me nervous.
Was he there to check up on Andie and me? Because I can’t remember the last time that he sat in on one of my classes.
Tap. Tap.
My attention goes to the tapping on the frosted glass of my office door...and then in she walks. Her smile as she meets my gaze lights my heart.
“I’ve missed you,” I mumble as I take two strides and pull her into my arms. “So much.”
Her arms wrap around my neck seconds before I press her into the side of the door. Her legs wrap around my hips and our lips meet. Her taste explodes in my mouth and all I can think about is where I want her cherry red lips. I just can’t decide if I want that before or after my cock feels how wet and swollen she is in her arousal.
“A week is too long to stay apart,” she moans the words as I trail my lips down her neck.
