Theo pulled on his bookbag as he nodded at Mars.“I see.”
“You didn’t mention you were taking one of Callie’s classes,” Spike said as Izzy patted the desk next to her.
“Oh, you know Callie?”Mars asked curiously.
Theo cleared his throat as the reality of the words hit him.Callie’sclass.
Callie is...a teacher, too?Panic hit him.
Did I sleep with my fucking teacher?The realization, worry, and lust hit him all at once as Izzy patted the chair once more.
“Yeah, he’s her new muse or whatever,” Isabelle said nonchalantly.
“What?”Theo’s voice cracked.
“Here, you’re going to want a front row seat.You get so many more details that way.”
Theo’s blood chilled.“I’m sorry, did you sayCallieteaches this class?”
“Yeah.Lifestyle Drawing is one of Callie’s classes...”Spike said as if the information was common knowledge.“I thought you knew that, because usually the work study requires at least one art class to apply.”
Theo blinked.It was true; he did know that.He’d signed up for his art electives because he needed them for his graduating credits, but also, he’d done it to ensure he wouldn’t be rejected for the work study.
He’d looked at the schedule, numerous times, but he hadn’t connected the instructor’s name to?—
“Good morning, class,” Calliope’s sweet, chime-like voice rang out and Theo turned slowly to see Calliope, coming through the door with a coffee in her hand, dressed in a form-fitting black and grey tweed skirt with a matching black blouse that drew attention to her ample round breasts.
Theo’s cock noticed the way her nipples peaked through the fabric, twitching in response.
Oh, fuck.
Calliope’s gaze settled on him as she froze in the middle of the room.
Theo felt like he might pass out.
Especially because she looked quite appetizing in her matching outfit, her heels making her lithe legs stand out, her dark hair spilling over her shoulder.Breasts pushed together to give ample cleavage.
“Theodore...I didn’t expect to see you thismorning.”
Izzy nudged him in the ribs.“This is the part where you say good morning, idiot.”
Isabelle’s words pulled him out of his stupor and he cleared his throat.“Uh huh.Good morning, Callie.”
She looked from him to Mars, moving past him without any other acknowledgment.Like once again, he was beneath her somehow.Like she needed toget away.
“Boy, am I glad to see you,” she said with a sigh.The words cut Theo deeper than he knew they should have.
Who is this guy?What does Callie want with him?
“Don’t get excited, I’m just here because Lora?—”
“I need to talk to you after class, not here.”Calliope looked at them all as students continued to pour in and take their seats.
“All of you.”
Her gaze settled on Theo and for a moment he felt as if time itself stopped.
She offered him a faint smile before taking her spot at the front of the room.
