Professor Cline Revealed by J. M. La Rocca Page A

she answered in a shaky tone, nodding.
    “Shall we?” I gestured with my arm as she stepped away from the building and followed me to the car.
    I opened the door for her and she slid into the seat just as thunder started to roll.
    “I didn’t think to bring an umbrella,” she stated as I closed my door and put the car into drive. She looked out the window at the darkening sky.
    “Don’t worry about it. We’ll be there in just a few minutes.”
    “Where exactly is there ?” she asked as she turned to me.
    I grinned. “Somewhere private.”
    She smiled and I knew my charm was working. She looked down at her lap before shaking her head. “Okay, some place private, but could you tell me exactly where? Without making you sound like a serial killer,” she continued with a smile, “I’d like to tell my friend exactly where I’ll be.”
    I flicked my turn signal on and turned into the parking garage.
    “We’re at The Columbia,” I told her as I parked the car and turned to look at her.
    She typed into her phone and then looked at me. “What’s The Columbia?” she asked, confused.
    I smirked. “My condo,” I answered as I opened the door and got out.
    I rounded the back of the car and opened her door. She looked wary as she got out and stepped to the side so I could close it.
    “I thought you said we were going to dinner?” she asked nervously.
    I knew she’d be nervous. She’d be stupid not to be. I walked toward her, forcing her to rest her back against the car. I leaned into her, our bodies barely touching. “I hired a chef,” I said into her neck. She shivered and I grinned. I could hear the racing of her heart and feel the heat coming off her skin. “I told you not to worry.” I placed a gentle kiss on her neck, inhaling her vanilla scent before pulling away.
    We needed to get upstairs before I bent her over the hood of my car and fucked her right there. My cock was begging to be released and pressing myself against her wasn’t my best idea.
    She looked at me with hooded eyes, like she had the same idea running through her mind, before she finally pulled away from the car. I guided her to the elevator and we made our way up to my condo in silence. I knew she was aroused, and I would’ve bet her panties were soaked. Just the thought had me licking my lips. Anticipation was building in the pit of my stomach and the burn to take her was overpowering, but it was that burn I craved. I knew I’d take her soon enough.
    I exited the elevator with her right behind me. There were only two condos on the floor and mine was located on the right, with the best view of the city.
    I opened the door and ushered her in. She gasped as she walked in further to the wall of windows. The view wasn’t as spectacular as it usually was because of the storm clouds, but it was still stunning. And it was even better with her standing there.
    She turned and looked at me with a smile. “This view is unreal,” she said before moving to stare again.
    I walked up behind her, only a few inches away, and her body stiffened for a moment before she relaxed. Lifting my hand, I pulled a few long waves of hair behind her shoulder, exposing her neck. “The view is exceptional,” I whispered in her ear. A blush appeared on her skin and I ran a finger along the top of her collarbone. She leaned back against me, and I closed my eyes at the sudden impulse I had to tear her dress off, push her against the window and fuck her until she was weeping for me to stop.
    I pulled away from her and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I couldn’t come on too strong or I’d scare her away. She turned and looked at me with a concerned expression on her face, but said nothing.
    I lifted a hand and rubbed at the stubble on my jaw. I needed to keep my hands off her until we’d at least finished eating.
    “Come have a seat at the table and I’ll get our food,” I said, gesturing toward the table in the dining room.
    The dishes, which had
