"Thanks mom." I dragged the Dyson out of the shortage room. Best present ever. Carol hissed her disagreement. She shot out of the room.

"What the hell are you doing?" Tom stood in the doorway, hands on his hips.

"What does it look like?" I grumbled, dusting the cat hair off my knees. I'd been straddling the top of the couch trying to get the damn cat hair off.

"Honestly? It looks you're getting freaky with the couch." He raised his eyes at the cleaning nozzle and took in my underpants and sports bra. "Been a while, has it?" His eyes danced with amusement. He was loving this. He thought he was so funny.

"No, actually it hasn't been awhile." I shot back, instantly regretting my comment. Tom’s eyes widened in surprise. “Fine. Let me get Cass over here.”

“Ok, so you and teach did the deed? Cass shot upright, her eyes wide with surprise.

I was relieved. I had half expected a lecture, but Cass had once again surprised me and accepted my feelings for Simon. She had even made a comment the other day about not choosing who you fall for. Once Tom found out I knew I had to tell Cass. If she found out he'd known before her, well let’s just say that would not have been pretty.

“It was truly amazing. I've never-it was mind blowing.” The image of Simon's naked body lying beside me filled my mind.

“This happened yesterday?” I nodded.

“And the day before.” I added sheepishly. Cass widened her eyes. She picked up coaster and threw it at me. “Ouch!” I complained.

“You waited a whole day to tell me about this?” She threw another coaster, this time I managed to duck.

“Sorry, I wanted to tell you in person, and I’ve been kind of busy.”

“Fine, but I’m still pissed.” Cass grunted, frowning. “So was that the only thing blown?” Cass smirked. I poked my tongue out at her.

“Seriously Cass. I've never come so hard. It was...” I shivered. For once I had no words. Cass rolled her eyes.

“Honey, not to be rude but how many times have you orgasmed? It's not like you have much to compare him to.” I gasped at her frankness.

“This is you not being rude? Anyway, I've orgasmed before.” I argued. “I've been known to stroke the entrance every now and then.”

Cass laughed hysterically. “The entrance? She sputtered. “Babe you need all the help you can get.” I threw a pillow at her head. Hard. She shrugged it off and continued her uncontrollable laughter.

“So anyway, your man was acting strange in class yesterday.” She commented, reaching for her water. I reddened. Her eyes got wide. “You little slut.” She cried.

“Why were you even there?” It wasn’t like she was even in his class.

“I took the subject last year, and now I’m tutoring a couple of students.” She shrugged. “Extra credit. Besides, he’s so much nicer now he’s getting laid.”

This essay was giving me the shits. I'd considered dropping the class for more than one reason, but it way too late for that. I'd get a fail on my records. I needed more information on the Landry trial, which was in the news now. I'd gathered as much as I could from the papers and the news, but without going to the court case, I was having trouble getting the full story.

The effect on the community was apparent. Newspapers as far as the UK and Australia were following the story. I could ask Cass to sit in on the case for me, but I knew her schedule was pretty hectic right now. I threw my laptop shut in disgust.

Damn you Mr Anderson and your stupid essays. Em xx

I waited until the text had sent through before throwing my phone on the couch. The vibration altered me to his immediate reply. His replies were almost always immediate.

Watch your mouth Miss Mancelli, or I will have to punish you. What's the issue with the essay? I thought you were close to done. S xx

My essay was finished. Until I realised I needed a decent mark to move onto honours in my course. I flicked back over his message, the reference to punishment making me smile.

Punishment? Sounds kinky, Professor. My problem is I cannot get to the court so I'm having trouble covering both sides of the Landry case. Em xx

I didn't even bother putting my phone down this time. Sure enough, not twenty seconds later my phone rang. I answered, surprised. I hadn't been expecting him to call.

"You watch yourself, Miss Mancelli, or things might happen." My god, his voice was so sexy, especially when he was playfully threatening me.

"Really, have you seen yourself around me? I make you crazy. You better watch yourself.” He laughed, I could almost feel him shaking his head.
