“Why, because she forgot how good you make her come?” he mockingly refers to my text.

I smile at him. “Don’t sound so jealous. Because if she ever did forget, I’ll make her come enough times that she doesn’t even remember her boyfriend’s name.”

“Fiancé, apparently,” he says, his eyes darting to my phone to show he’d seen more than my last text in our conversation.

“Don’t fucking care,” I mumble more to myself. “I was the only person she’d ever slept with before that fucker came into her life. He can’t compare.”

“Wow, she really did love you.”

“Like I said, what we have is special.”

“And toxic as fuck,” he challenges me. “What’s so special about her?”

I pause. No one has asked me that before and yet the answer crosses my lips without a need for thoughts. “She makes me feel like life is worth living.”

There’s a silence between us, and he nods. “Fair,” he finally says. He grabs his phone, indicating the conversation is over and I mull over the words I just said, realizing how true they are.

People around us start getting up, and Lik and I both notice we haven’t followed the end of our lesson whatsoever.

“Well done,” he says, his voice faking annoyance. “I’m going to fail my pristine college degree because of you.”

My chortle is cut short by Mattock calling for me. He’s been asking me to stay after every single lesson, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out of a job very soon. I’m pretty sure student/professor flirting shouldn’t be a thing if he wants to keep his job.

“I’ll see you later,” I tell Lik as he exits.

“Enjoy yourself.” He sounds so disgusted by the situation that I can’t help but tease him some more.

“Don’t be so jealous. You’re next in line.”

“Tell that to your girlfriend.”

Clearly, having heard our conversation, Mattock doesn’t waste time as he settles next to me and closes the door to the room.

“So…you’re into girls then?”

God, he is so openly hitting on me.

I’ve been back for two months, and for the second time, I feel that kick of adrenaline. The first one was finding Rachel again. Mainly finding out she’s engaged.

It’s a strange feeling knowing I won’t be having her to myself entirely ever again. Is this how she’s always felt with me? Every time I’d escape her to be with someone else?

We can’t resist each other, but it’s the first time that I know she won’t stay for me. No, now she’ll always go back to Conor. It’s something I’ve still yet to process. But getting that adrenaline kick again, finding something that doesn’t make me feel numb, helps. It helps with feeding the need my body has tofeelsomething. It helps with forgetting that nothing here is the same as when I left.

His expectant look brings me back. Oh yeah, do I only like girls?

“Nope,” I shake my head.

I hate explaining who I sleep with or why. I love sex and anyone who can make me feel good. Women are the most beautiful creatures ever created. Men who know how to use their dicks are a gift from God. Everyone in-between I’m longing to explore.

“Cool.” He shrugs, clearly not caring as long as I could be into his dick. “When do you finish?”

“I don’t know.” I dig my blue gaze so hard into his brown one, I can practically see my reflection. “How quick can you make me?”

He tries to fight off the dirty smile spreading on his lips, to no avail. He runs a hand across his face and behind his neck. “I’d show you now, but I kind of like my job.”

“Then why do you hit on your students?”

“Hard not to when you’re the student. I can’t really remember the last time I saw someone as beautiful as you.”
