TY
T he mess that came after Jack’s confrontation in the administration office was something that took two weeks to clean up.
Interviews with the ladies up front and the dean left me wondering if I’d done enough to keep my woman out of harm’s way.
She hadn’t officially moved in with me, but she was there almost every night.
I scanned my emails to let me know the case in the suspicions of me dating my student was closed. But it got me thinking about the future. Eventually, people would find out I was in love with Agatha. Not to mention she was carrying my baby.
In less than eight months, she’d be delivering our baby. If everything went well, it would be in June, but she’d be showing sooner than that.
I needed a fucking plan to keep shit together.
“Ty?” She wandered into the living room with a bowl of cereal in her hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
“Morning, beautiful.” I stood and kissed her before helping her to sit down without spilling anything. Not that I really cared about my shit getting ruined.
“I had a favor to ask of you and Leo.” She rubbed her lips together, and I grew nervous as fuck.
“What’s that?”
“This is not a way of saying you’d do this, but I’d feel better if Leo graded my stuff, at least the tests that don’t require essays and a need for the knowledge to…”
I lifted my finger and placed it over her lips to stop her ramblings.
“You think I could be biased?”
“I’m carrying your child. If you flunk me, then my career would be ruined and I’m sure I’d be fucking pissed. But at the same time if you pass me before I’m ready and I’m not actually understanding the material, it does more harm to me later on.”
I considered her words as she started to eat. “I’ll talk to Leo about that. And I have another friend who could do the essays.” He wasn’t a teacher but a friend in the field, which worked in my favor. Plus, the fucker owed me one.
“Really?” Her eyes lit up, like she’d expected me to be offended, but in all honesty, I wondered why I didn’t think about that in the first place.
“I wasn’t giving you a sliding scale in your favor, but I can see how you might see it. The worry is that I find you as my favorite, which is true, but not for the wrong reasons.” I winked, and a blush covered her cheeks.
I liked this reaction, so I had to keep going.
“You’re smart as hell, baby girl. Even if we didn’t meet the night before class started, I might’ve still had a crush on you.”
“Really now?” Her brow arched as she spoke around the cereal.
“Really. I’ll get Leo caught up and have my buddy double check the essays you already turned in.”
“I know it’s a lot of work for them. I’ll bake for them or something like that.”
“You don’t have to do that.” I shook my head and turned back to my computer and started firing off emails on my personal side. I refused to be an idiot and talk about this on my school email.
“Thank you.” She leaned into my shoulder, and I turned to kiss the top of her head. She was everything I needed. I just never expected to find her as one of my students.
T aking two cars with a little bit of a gap gave her a head start, and I walked into class with her glowing in the front row.
“Morning class.” I started my lesson, but my eyes kept drifting over to Agatha. The way she adjusted in her seat. The heat in her eyes as she met my gaze for a moment or two.
By the end of the fucking lesson, I was hard as steel and my cock was begging for a release.
She trailed her pen across her lower lip then bit into it, sending a jolt right as the time ended.
“See you all later. As a reminder, the final exam will be taken the week before the actual scheduled final week. So study up.” I glanced around the room, and my eyes caught Ags parting her legs as she sat in her chair.
The students filtered out, and my eyes narrowed in on my woman because she was taking her time to get to her next lesson.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me?” I grumbled as I closed some of the distance. I kept it respectable in case someone came in unannounced.
“I might have an idea.” She smirked, and I flexed my hands at my sides, trying to ease some of the tension in my body. I glanced at the door before focusing on her.
“Keep it up, and you’ll be over my desk,” I said low so my voice didn’t carry through the room.
“And if that’s what I want?” Her brow arched in a silent challenge. Which of course had my cock throbbing in my pants.
“We just got cleared. We, I…” A groan left my lips as she rubbed her lips together.
“Well then, I guess you’ll have to suffer until you get home.” She licked her lower lip, then winked.
I closed some of the distance behind her and leaned in close to her ear. “When you get to my place, you better strip naked and be ready for me when I get there.”
“And if I don’t?” Her breath came out shaky, and it took everything in me not to grab her and lock the damn door. We were so damn close to the end of the term that I could taste it.
“Then I might bend you over my knee and spank your ass.” The idea was so damn tempting to do now. “Be a good girl and remember you’re mine.”
“I don’t see a ring on this finger,” she muttered, and I wondered if she was playing or if she was being serious. I pulled back and turned her around to study her face.
“Is that what you want?”
My heart was in my damn throat as she pondered the idea. It must’ve not been premeditated because I surprised her.
“I know you asked not to talk about stuff here, but part of me still worries you’ll leave once the class ends.” Her gaze dropped to my chest, then slowly came back to meet mine.
“Thank you for confiding in me.” I didn’t know what else to say. Telling her I’d stay hadn’t been working. I needed to prove to her that I was in this relationship as much as she was.
“I better get to my next class. I have to pee before because this child is already somehow pressing on my bladder.”
“Not pressing, it’s the increase of blood volume you’re processing that makes you need to pee,” I muttered as I pulled back, but she grabbed my arm to stop me.
“Wait, did you look that up?” Shock colored her face.
“Yeah, I want to make sure I know what’s going on with you, so I bought the digital what to expect book the night I found out.” I rubbed the back of my head because I didn’t know how she’d respond to that.
Her lashes fluttered like they did when she was taking in new information. It seemed to be her default reaction, and I adored that about her. I fucking loved her. I just had to prove it to her with every fiber of my being.
