Chapter OneCora“Who do you think our new professor is?” Penny asks me as we take our seats at the very front of the lecture theatre We’re beginning the last year of our English Literature course and we’ve been thrown a curveball; a new professor I glance down at my schedule on my phone to re-read the name of the professor

“I’ve never heard of a Dylan Harker before and given that uess I would’ve heard of him if he’d been around before He must be new”

Penny sighs “I bet he’s going to be some stuffy old ”

I laugh “Oh, definitely It’s way too et some eye candy around here…”

The doors to the class open and my jaw drops A tall man in a well fitted blue suit enters the roo over us casually He’s definitely not a stuffy old ht stubble on his chin and dark hair that’s slicked back to reveal his handsome face He ent air of an olderor out of touch I’ve never been attracted to anyone before so I don’t exactly have a type, but looking at him now, I know that it doesn’t matter that he’s older than me I want him

All of a suddento be just another boring lecture, but now that this ain

He doesn’t appear to have noticed h his notes He still has a few es me It clearly hasn’t escaped her notice that he’s possibly the hottest man we’ve ever laid eyes on

“Surely that can’t be hieous! Do you think he’s lost?”

“No,” I breathe “I think he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be”

At that exact es as he stares intoas he takes me in I blush as his eyes dare to venture over ht shirtand it looks like he likes what he sees He grips the edges of the lectern, watching me so intently that I feel like I can’t breathe All I want is for hi me But he’satspecial? How is it possible that he’s undressing me with his eyes in front of the entire class and yet I feel like we’re the only two people in the room?

I feel Penny nudgingto aze locked on hi to be i to be thinking of is how incredible he looks, howhe wants me back…

“Cora!” Penny hisses “Have you lost yourover him like that, he’s definitely noticed”

“Good,” I breathe so quietly that only Penny will be able to hear We’re still both watching each other with such intense interest that I don’t knoe’ll ever be able to break away fro People are going to wonder what the hell is going on I force aze onit? No When I glance up, his eyes are still trained on me

What is happening?

I feel like I can barely breathe The lecture is about to start and I’et out of here I should escape this overwhelo hoh I’h it's entirely inappropriate, this is the single hottest thing to ever have happened to me

And I want more

At the front of the room, the hot professor clears his throat and I take a deep breath to try and coh I’uess now I can see why they say that lust drives people to madness
