I wanted to distract the professor; I didn’t expect to fall for him.
Blurb
Richard’s wife cheated on him, and his marriage has fallen apart. He’s in desperate need of a distraction, and I volunteer.
The problem?
He lectures at the university where I study. Fooling around with students is frowned upon. But with my graduation right around the corner, it’s a risk we’re willing to take. Besides, it’s only one night. Isn’t it?
As one night of passion turns into several, will we be able to keep our relationship secret until after graduation?
Falling for the Professor is a high-heat, 50,000-word contemporary M/M romance, with an eight-year age-gap, lots of sneaking around, encounters in semi-public places, and a lecturer who discovers he loves being called ‘Professor’.
Excerpt
“Still alone?” I ask casually.
Richard glances at me and then nods.
“I could be wrong, but isn’t whisky best drunk cold? I’m not much of a whisky drinker myself.”
“You prefer beer?”
I smile. “Yeah, although I’m on non-alcoholic stuff tonight.” I tap my pocket so my keys jangle.
“I was intending on getting so drunk I wouldn’t be able to drive.”
“How’s that going?”
He picks up his glass, sloshes the warm whisky, and sets it down. “Terribly.” He glances over his shoulder. “Where are your friends?”
“They left.”
“And you didn’t go with them?”
“I can still catch up with them. I wanted to make sure you were okay, first.”
He frowns. “Why?”
Because he’s gorgeous and I hate seeing him sad? “Want to talk about it?”
He stares at me, lips quivering as though he’s having an internal debate about whether to confide in me or not.
“I won’t tell anyone.”
“Gossip has a habit of spreading on campus.”
“It won’t come from me.” I cross my fingers over my heart.
He holds up his left hand and wiggles his bare ring finger. “I caught my wife cheating on me.”
I suck in a breath. “Shit. That’s rough. Sorry.”
He drops his hand. “Which is why I had every intention of getting shit-faced.”
“But—?”
He shrugs. “I don’t know. I got here, ordered the drink and…”
“Didn’t feel like getting drunk after all?”
“Exactly.”
“What do you want to do?”
He drags his stare away from his drink and pins it on me. He has the most beautiful honey brown eyes. Breathless, I’m helpless to do anything but stare back.
“I don’t want to be alone,” he whispers.
I grin. “Then you’re in luck.”
He raises his eyebrows. “I am?”
“Yeah. It just so happens I’m great company.”
He chuckles softly and raises his lips into the faintest hint of a smile. “Are you now?”
“Want me to stick around so you can find out if I’m telling the truth or not?”
He’s silent for a moment, searching my eyes for something. “I’d like that.”
