Lincoln was really enjoying himself. His head was tilted slightly to the side and his sexy smirk had widened.
“It’s Monroe—she’s the only one fucking hot enough to date you,” the guy who knew far too much about Lincoln quipped after one of the longest minutes of my life.
“Language!” Professor Watkins snapped, a small gleam of amusement in her gaze.
“I’ll forget how creepy you are, for guessing right,” Lincoln laughed.
Then everyone’s eyes were on me. Heat crept up my neck, spreading like wildfire across my skin. My pulse quickened, and I knew my face had flushed beet red. My hands trembled, and I clasped them tightly together to hide the shaking. It was as if the temperature in the room had skyrocketed, and I was trapped in a suffocating heat wave.
“You’ve got to be shitting me,” the girl next to me snapped. “Why is this even a thing? I would do anything for that man. ANYTHING. I would literally let him fu—”
“Alright, that’s enough, Lanie. Thank you,” the professor quickly inserted.
“Well, Monroe, what’s it going to be? Free tuition for the whole class for the year, or are you going to disappoint everyone?” drawled Lincoln.
The whole class burst into loud and emphatic chatter, everyone urging and yelling at me to say yes. Everyone except for Connor—but I already knew from our contrived date he came from a wealthy family, so a year’s worth of tuition wouldn’t have been a big deal to him.
I was going to kill Lincoln
I would probably end up kissing him first.
But then I was definitely going to kill him.
“I’ll come to the game,” I finally muttered when I was afraid the class would riot.
He leaned forward, putting a hand to his ear, his bicep pulling at his shirt. “Sorry, what was that?”
“I’ll come to the game!” I snapped, crossing my arms in front of me.
“And the date?” the girl next to me—Lanie—said, sounding very put out.
I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment, before opening them, momentarily riveted by the burning want in his gaze.
“And the date,” I whispered after a moment, only half aware of the whole class jumping out of their seats and cheering.
I was completely lost in him.
Enraptured
Caught in his spell.
I was so fucked.
CHAPTER 15
MONROE
Iwas fucking late.
I hated being late.
And he’d even sent a car to take me to the game. Which was both thoughtful and infuriating since I wouldn’t have the need for a car if he wasn’t forcing me to go to the game in the first place.
I’d been asked by Dr. Kevin to stay thirty minutes extra to fix files thathehad messed up, which had led to me being late for the bus and missing it. Because of course it had been on time today for the first time since I’d come to Dallas.
The car had already been waiting outside when I got home, and I had to hurry and take a shower and get dressed, because there was no way I was showing up to Lincoln Daniels’ game looking like the swamp rat that I resembled after running all the way home.
Now here I was, in a car that was so nice I was afraid to touch anything—late.
