Release Date: April 18, 2019



Alister Bennet
Loyal, reliable... predictable even, I’ve always done what's expected of me. Stay out of trouble, get my teaching degree and build a respectable career as a college professor. The job comes with a long list of rules and at the top of that list is no fraternizing with students. Following the rules seemed easy enough, until a dark, tortured boy sat outside my office waiting for me. His voice told me it was his grade he was worried about, but the deep onyx pools of his eyes told me more as they shook the solid ground I’d always stood on.

Am I willing to risk my career, my carefully built reputation, to help one so filled with pain I can taste it?

Benjamin Wallace
Rejected, abused, and abandoned my entire life, all I’ve ever wanted was to be accepted, loved even. I thought going to college on a scholarship would be my ticket out of hell, but nothing good ever comes without a price. As graduation nears I find myself drawn to the mysterious professor like a moth to a flame. Just one meeting with the man that has been staring in my dreams has my soul screaming for him to hold me, comfort me. A relationship isn't just frowned upon, it's forbidden, but the heart doesn't always know the difference.

Can I trust my mangled heart in his perfect life when my past repeats itself or will he destroy what is left of me?

*Author's note: This is an MM teacher-student romance with themes including abuse and kidnapping. This story ends with a HEA.*

He came to a stop in front of me and looked down at me with an intense expression. “Is that true, Samantha?”

I tried to ignore the butterflies in my stomach and everyone’s eyes on me. “I brought your favorite—blueberry muffins,” I said, thrusting the box in his hands. I continued, “I made these especially for you.” I said quietly, my face turning red from the other guys’ attention. This was out of character for me, but after our conversation the other night, I needed to show Jack how I felt.

Several of the guys groaned, but then walked back to the basketball court, leaving us alone.

“You know my favorite pastry?” He asked, his lips twitching now with the beginning of a smile.

I rolled my eyes, relaxing a bit with his teasing. “I’ve paid attention. Don’t get a big head.”

“I asked because I think I love everything you make. I don’t have one favorite.”

I pointed at the box. “I used the frozen blueberries Luke gave me from his farm. They’re better than any blueberries I could buy from the store.” I was rambling to avoid his intense scrutiny.

Jack put the box down on the bench next to us and stepped back into my space. He placed his hands on my shoulders and then he called over his shoulder, “I’m taking a time out. You guys keep playing.”

After a few grumblings about not getting to eat the muffins, they resumed play. I heard the pounding of feet on the pavement and the bounce of the ball, but it was all background noise. I couldn’t take my eyes off Jack’s, which were smoldering. My eyes dropped down to his lips and my breath hitched at the memory of the dream when he kissed me.

His face came closer to mine and I thought he was going to kiss me. Suddenly nervous, I said, “I wanted to make it clear I like you too —you know, in case you were confused.” I felt my face get hot. I felt like I was in high school again and crushing hard on someone.

He pulled back a little to look at my face. “Oh, it’s clear.”

My happy puppy greets me as soon as I slip inside the house, the air conditioning a welcome reprieve from the heat outside. I bend down and give her a quick pet behind the ears before leading her to the back door. She runs off, anxious to do her business, while I head back inside to take a quick shower. 

I don’t wash my hair, but shave and exfoliate all of the important areas. When I’m smooth and clean, I jump out of the shower, anxious to head over to Latham’s. I smother lotion over every square inch of my body, the rich scents of jasmine and vanilla wrapping around me. I touch up my makeup, darkening my eyes in that sultry way I used to do daily, but now save for special occasions. 

Then, I head for my dresser. I already know which one I want. After spending a few minutes with Adrian and feeling the anticipation she was experiencing, I dig out my own black bustier and matching thong set. Mine is an older style, though, with deep red piping and a black lace overlay. Carefully, I snap the back and glance in the mirror. It dips dangerously low, showcasing my cleavage and pushing my breasts together magnificently. The lace thong is sexy, enticing, and bold. Perfect. 

I snap the garter belt into place and roll on a pair of stockings. Then, I return to my closet and find my dark blue sundress. It’s shorter than the others and will barely hide the stockings that hit just above mid-thigh. It too will be perfect. Keeping my hair up, I retwist it into a knot, letting only a few tendrils of hair hang around my face. 

Taking one last look in the mirror, I slip on my too-high strappy sandals, swipe dark gloss over my lips, and head out of my room. I make a quick pit stop at the back door and call Snuggles. She’s not too happy to be coming in from outside, but when I produce a treat from the cabinet, she hightails it out of her doghouse and trots up the back steps like her tail is on fire. It wags furiously as she sits like a good girl and shakes for her treat. After a few more minutes of showering her with affection, I fill her food and water bowls, and make sure she’s settled for the evening. 

Then, I head back to my car. 

It’s only a few blocks from downtown where my business is, and even though I try to keep the windows open to enjoy the early evening breeze, it’s just too hot outside, or maybe I’m a little too nervous. Too sweaty. So I roll up the windows and crank on the air. As soon as I do, I hear a poof sound, and it’s suddenly raining. 

Not liquid, though. 

This is sparkly particles of hell flying through the air and landing everywhere. 

Everywhere. 

Glitter. 

So. Much. Glitter. 

I stop at the stop sign, spitting the sliver sparkles from my mouth and glance around. My entire car is covered in it. My dress. My arms. My face. 

Dirty rotten bastard, son of the devil asshole jerk! 

He’s. So. Fucking. Dead.
