“I think it would be for the best if you did. Just in case.”

Doing as asked, ensuring they wouldn’t be found out, he also set down his shoes. Afterward, for all the confidence he’d told himself he’d built up recently, he remained stuck in quicksand after turning back to face Tess.

A compliment. Give her a compliment, you moron.

“You look really beautiful,” he said, which elicited an internal groan due to its vapidness.

Tess smiled somewhat meekly. “I… thank you, Liam.” She bit her lower lip, eyes moving away from him briefly.

The two of them stood like this for several torturous seconds, and Liam’s thoughts rapidly trended toward pessimism. Had he already undone things with his brain-dead decision to creep all the way to her bedroom? Had he unintentionally ruined things already?

“Liam.” Tess pierced the silence with his name, now looking directly at him.

He met her gaze, finding it brimming with uncertainty.

“Y-yes, Tess?”

The woman of his dreams seized one more quick deep breath.

“Do you want to come a bit closer and compare what I’m wearing to yesterday’s outfit?”

Liam’s heart leaped inside his chest, and he hastily nodded. “So, so much.”

A slight smile curved Tess’s lips. “Then come over here and have a look.”

His worry thoroughly eroded itself, replaced quickly by unbridled joy. Nodding again, he closed the gap between himself and the gorgeous professor. Tess remained a touch fidgety, but she seemed to tamp that emotion down when he reached her.

Standing within arm’s reach of her, Liam’s eyes started their journey in her profoundly deep blue eyes. From there, he let his whole being dream about how kissing her lusciously soft lips would feel. That desire radiated through him until it nearly seared his flesh as he moved down to her slender neck, her smooth shoulders, even her collarbone.

It morphed into a desire to touch her withanypart of his body once it arrived at her full breasts, contained by a sports bra that he’d happily let have a break from its duty. His hands could supply the necessary pressure if needed.

“What do you think up close?” Tess asked, voice slightly breathless.

Rearmed with confidence, Liam ended his gaze’s first journey down her voluptuous body. Words that would have made Avril proud soon caused Tess to blush furiously.

“You’re so fucking sexy that I can’t stand it.” And then the push further. “I really hope I can do a bit more than just look.”

Tess shivered in response to his words and bit her lip again. “I… imagined as much.” Her cheeks turned scarlet. “For now, why don’t we continue with what parts you find so,”—she swallowed—“sexy? Specificity is appreciated.”

“Yes, Professor Williams,” Liam replied, which caused the exact dilation in her beautiful eyes that he’d hoped to see.

A bit more leisurely this time, if only to aggravate the heat building inside the gorgeous older woman, he sent his eyes on their second trip down Tess’s body. For this one, he managed to make it down to her hips, her perfect ass, her long legs, and the lean muscles defined by how tightly her leggings clung there. He would have walked around her, appreciating every angle of her sublimeness, but Tess halted him with a hand. He could tell she assumed he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands to himself if she let him have free rein this early.

She was probably right.

Liam formed a lineup of compliments in his mind, eventually letting Tess know he’d finished looking her over with a nod.

“Well?” she asked, fingers dancing tremulously upon her thighs. The fact that she was anticipating the words he would share with her threw him into a realm of sheer elation.

He considered indulging in a little more teasing, such as playing coy or elongating the pause before his answer, but he decided against it. While he owed her a lot, he wasn’t actually Avril Knight.

“You’ve got such long, perfect legs,” Liam began, starting with the less racy compliments he’d come up with. “You must make all your female students so jealous of your figure. They must feel like complete ghosts when you’re around.”

Tess blushed but didn’t shy away from the scorching hot look he leveled at her. If anything, he saw the same heat rising behind her eyes.

“I do like my legs a lot. I might not be as tall as Victoria or as… full in other places, but I’m proud of how nice they look.”

“You should be proud of everything about yourself,” Liam immediately said. “No one alive could overshadow how unbelievably sexy you are.”
