“Shit,” I breathe.
“Hm,” Alder hums, and steps closer. “But I had a long night, baby. Ten hours riding yesterday, then a club meeting that ran till dawn…” His eyes drag down my body, the weight of his gaze enough to make me pull in a breath. “I could use a… release.”
A quiet rush moves through me with his eyes on me like that, and my grip tightens on my mug.
“You need to go to work?” His voice drops as his fingers brush my sweater, barely even a touch, but enough to make my skin prickle beneath the fabric.
I reluctantly nod. “I have office hours.”
His lip curls in disdain before he fists the front of my sweater and drags me forward until his mouth hovers over mine. “Well then. I’ll be showering and sleeping here… ready to fuck when you get home.”
Then he releases me, and heads up the stairs.
I don’t move from where I stand, my eyes fixed on his back as he heads towards my bedroom. A moment later, I hear the shower start up, and my heart thumps a bit faster.
I have office hours… and a final exam to finish writing…
But that all fades into background noise as I listen to the sound of the shower, and my eyes stay glued to the top of the stairs.
My body seems to move on its own as I set my bag and mug down and head up the stairs, as if some force has its grip on me.
With every step, the rush of the shower grows louder, and so does the noise inside me. My heart pounds harder, my breath quickens, and every nerve flickers. And by the time I reach the open bathroom door, I almost feel like I’m in a trance.
I watch him through the fogged glass, his body slightly blurred as his broad frame and dark ink shifts beneath the spray. He tips his head back to rinse the shampoo from his hair, and my gaze follows the water and suds flowing over every tattooed muscle.
When he lowers his head and opens his eyes, they lock on mine. A slow smirk forms on his lips as I lean against the doorframe, and he reaches down to palm his cock.
He strokes himself a couple more times as water drips down his chest, and I can’t help but drop my gaze to take it in. He’s getting hard… and I am too.
Then Alder reaches out to turn the shower off, and steps out, grabbing a towel from the hook.
“Hey there, Doc,” he says, dragging the towel over his head. “Do I get first dibs on office hours?”
I huff out a breath through my nose, watching as he scrubs the towel down his chest. “Office hours are cancelled.”
He cocks a brow. “That so…” Then he tosses the towel aside and walks towards me, fully naked. “I think some people might not be too pleased with that.”
A rush of annoyance rips through me at the thought of Omar and Annika keeping tabs on me. And probably the rest of the faculty, too.
“It’s not up to them,” I grit out.
Alder nods slowly. “And your students?”
I shrug. “Unlikely to show anyway.”
He studies me for a moment, then his hand drifts back to his cock. But I keep my eyes locked on his, as a wicked smile spreads over his lips.
He grabs both sides of my face hard and pulls me in to crash his mouth against mine. He walks me backwards as our lips stay locked, and my hands lift to his sides, feeling his damp skin and hard muscles. The rush inside me surges again, and I dig my fingers into him, trying to hold on to it.
“And you just had to wear the cable-knit today, didn’t you?” Alder mutters against my lips as he slips his hands under my sweater.
I don’t bother with a response to whatever that means as I break our just kiss long enough to pull it off and toss it aside.
His eyes follow it as it lands on the floor, and his gaze lingers on it for a moment as he bites the inside of his cheek like he’s weighing something.
But then he turns back to me and takes me in another heated kiss while his hands drop to undo my belt buckle and push my jeans and boxers down my hips. I barely have time to step out of them before he pushes me onto the bed and climbs over me.
He hums against my lips as he grinds his cock against mine, and every roll of his hips has me pulling him tighter against me and deepening our kiss. It feels like he’s reaching inside me and flicking on switches I didn’t even know I had, as slowly, everything inside me starts to wake up.
