Serena turned her attention back to us. “Mia, I was going to call you into my office this week anyhow. We need to talk about your position.”
Mia’s leg started twitching up and down under my hand. Something great was about to happen for her career, I was certain. But Diego suddenly reappeared, interrupting us.
I couldn’t think of a time when Diego had moved this fast. He stood by Serena’s elbow with a tray and four glasses of the bubbly stuff. He set each in front of us and kept the one with barely a sip in it for himself.
He raised his glass. “A toast to Serena. ¡Salud!” They eyed each other when they clinked glasses and drank up. He rapped his knuckles on the table before leaving again. “Let me know if I can be of more service. Anything you need, call me.”
Mia’s head twisted sharply to me with her eyebrows raised. Yep, she noticed something between them this time. I chuckled and nodded.
Serena set her flute down and suddenly, between the three of us, things turned into a business meeting, even though she slurred some words. “I’ll get straight to the point. You have really impressed me with your performance this semester. However, Marjorie Smith is coming back this summer, healed and rested up from her car crash. Right now, unfortunately, I don’t have another position open for you at Glendale College.”
Dammit, she was being let go, and right in front of me. Not cool, Serena. My impression of her fell about thirty notches.
I watched Mia’s face drop in one heartbreaking second, but she quickly replaced it with a smile. “Oh, it’s okay. I’ve enjoyed the experience so much. It’ll be great for my resume. I can’t thank you enough for giving me this chance at—”
Serena stopped her with a hand in the air. “But we can’t lose you with all your talent. So, there’s a position at our sister campus in Amherst, about an hour away. It’s a full professorship in the English department. All I have to do is talk to my colleagues there. It’s yours if you want it.”
“Really? Oh. My god. Um . . .” The twinkle in her eyes returned, but she hesitated and looked at me for an answer. For the first time tonight, it was a sign she was thinking of me. Of us. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to Teddy for a minute in private about it. We’ll be back.”
She practically yanked me from my seat. I followed behind her, my eyes bouncing off her ass, all the way to the stockroom. She opened the door and yanked me inside by my shirt. I kicked the door closed behind me and locked it.
She exploded. “I can’t believe it. I could have a professor position all mine, not temporary. Pinch me, please, I must be dreaming.”
“It’s a dream come true, baby. I know how hard you worked for this. Congratulations.”
“But I can’t say yes.”
“Huh? Why not? Look, if it’s about your parents, I’m sure they’ll get used to seeing you less often and calling on Diego more. Besides, it’s only about an hour away. You could still make Sunday dinners.”
“It’s not about my parents, besides I already talked to them today and laid out my boundaries.”
“You did? I’m so proud of you, Mia. What a big step. So take the job. You know you want it.”
“I can’t though. It’s not about the job, but about us.”
I grabbed her wrists and pulled her to me, while I leaned my back against the door. “You’re assuming there is an us,” my voice lowered a full octave. Her lips, only inches away from mine, pouted perfectly for me. My cock roared to life for attention.
“Damn right, mister once-we-cross-the-line-there’s-no-going-back. Like it or not, you’re stuck with me.”
“There’s no place I’d rather be. But what about Amherst? Do they have the no dating policy too?” I smirked, readying my objection to being kept her secret boy toy again.
“It doesn’t matter. Maybe you can take classes online. Or being an hour away, we could move half an hour away somewhere in between. You could still take classes here, and I’ll teach there and we’ll meet up at our home in the middle every night and make love.”
“Are you asking me to move in with you, Dr. Reyes?” I liked where this conversation headed way too much.
Her confident gaze made my cock twitch against my zipper. “Yes. As long as you can put up with me. Even when I’m confused and a blubbering mess and stressed and push you away and ask for space, you can’t leave. You’re stuck with me. Got it?”
“Fuck yeah, dulce rosa, I got this.” I let her wrists go, and our limbs wrapped in knots around each other. Our lips crashed together, deepening our kisses. A minute later, naked against the door, I pumped inside of her, seeking her soul, and only when she screamed my name would I be satisfied.
I didn’t care if the bar or the entire town heard us reuniting as one again. We weren’t hiding our love anymore. Everything to this point had been a test of all my limits. But she tutored me well, and I was certain she rated my performance A plus for extra effort.
