Professor Bryant

Chapter Six:

            Wow. Did that really just happen? Do you ever fantasize about something that you know will never come true? Yeah, that was me with Dylan. He was hot, educated, and knew just how to draw you into him. Every girl wanted him, and guys wanted to be him. He had this easiness about him that made you want to know more, and I was getting the backstage pass to his show.

            A girl like me didn’t score a guy like Dylan. I’m not even sure if he knew how young I was compared to him. Maybe he didn’t care, but I highly doubt that was the case. I had every intention of telling him sooner rather than later because I knew the later I waited, the more feelings I would develop. There was a time and a place for telling him, but right now wasn’t it. I had to at least figure out what this was between us. Who knows? Dylan might only be looking for someone to occupy his time. I’m sure as a teacher he got lonely.

            It was now Thursday, and Justin had been bugging me about having lunch with him. So, I agreed to let him take me out somewhere close by the campus. I only had Professor Bryant’s class three days a week, so I hadn’t gotten to see him all day. Going to lunch wasn’t breaking any rules, technically. Dylan and I weren’t a thing yet, so going to lunch with another guy was just an innocent thing. Besides, I think that Justin and I could become friends. He was the only one in the class that would even take the time to talk to me, and conversations with him were nice and light.

            “So, where to, pretty lady?” Justin was waiting for me outside of my class, more than ready to get to lunch.

            “What did you have in mind? Please, keep it close. We have a few more classes, and I don’t want to be late to any of them.”

            He chuckled under his breath. “You really aren’t the kind of girl that breaks the rules, are you?”

            “No, I’m not. Breaking rules doesn’t thrill me like it does some people.” I lifted my eyebrows at him, and he gave me a quick smile.

            “Fair enough. We are going to have to get you out of that eventually. College life is about letting go and being free. How are you supposed to do that if you are uptight all the time?”

            I laughed because that was precisely what Nora tells me all the time. It wouldn’t be that hard for me to let loose if I tried it, but I liked strictness and order in my life, not utter chaos. If either of them knew what I was doing with my professor behind everyone’s back, then they wouldn’t see me as the innocent little girl that didn’t break the rules anymore.

            Justin took my hand in his and walked us to a nearby pizzeria. I had to press my lips together to keep from getting too excited. Pizza was my favorite food to eat more than any other food. I was one of those people that could probably eat pizza every day of the week and be completely satisfied.

            “How did you know that pizza was my favorite?”

            “What? Are you kidding? Pizza is the best and easiest food to eat that there is. You won’t get a better slice of pizza than anywhere than here at Vi’s.”

            “We will see about that. I’m sure I have a few pizza places that could blow this place out of the water.”

            “You won’t be saying that once you take the first bite. Just you wait and see.”

            As we walked in, a hostess immediately sat us near a table in the front, right by the window. It was really nice because we could see everyone passing by, mostly college students, but it was hard not to appreciate this place. It was busy but not so busy that it made you want to move somewhere else.

            Justin and I made light conversation until our pizza came. He watched me intently as I took the first bite. It was so good that it was hard not to moan as the deliciousness rested on my tongue.

            “Good, huh?”

            “Hmm,” I hummed as I chewed the pizza as slowly as possible, enjoying every bite of it that I could.

            He smiled and leaned back in his booth. “So, tell me more about you, Riley. I want to know one of the craziest things that you have ever done.”

            “Why?”

            “Entertain me.”

            I sighed and took a napkin to wipe off my mouth after taking my last bite. I was completely stuffed. “There isn’t one thing that I can think of other than playing beer pong at a party with practically a stranger.”

            “Hey! I’m not a stranger. I’m your partner in psychology, remember?”

            When he talked about our psychology class, my mind immediately went straight to Dylan. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the intimate kiss that we shared, wishing that we had more time before that girl walked in. For the rest of the week, nothing else happened between us. We gave each other stares here and there, but he seemed preoccupied with something else other than me. All day Wednesday, I was devastated and stayed locked in my bedroom. I was furious with Dylan in a way. He had made out with me like that then practically ignored me for the other two days I had his class. I didn’t want to be that pathetic girl that seemed as if I depended on his attention, but he at least could give me an explanation. When I tried to talk to him after class, he said that we would have to continue the conversation at another time as he had some things to take care of. It was a short, vague statement that only seemed to fuel my anger toward him.

            Snap. Snap. “Where did you go just now?” Justin asked while his eyebrows furrowed. “Do you have something on your mind?”

            “No. It’s nothing.”

            “Come one, Riley. You can talk to me. I may be bad at a lot of things, but I promise that I am a good listener.”

            Telling someone about Professor Bryant would be nice, but I wouldn’t dare do it with Justin. Something told me that he would be more like Nora and immediately go to the dean about what was happening. I wouldn’t be the reason that Professor Bryant got fired.

            “I’m just a little nervous about our psychology class. I never thanked you for saving me during our speech on Monday. I don’t know what happened. I’ve always been a good speaker, but I froze when we faced the class.”

            He reached over and grabbed my hand. There was definitely a spark between us, even if it was a small one. I liked Justin a lot. He was putting a lot of effort into making me believe that he was sorry for what he did, and so far, it was working. I could see us being good friends, even though I could tell that he wanted more. 

            “Everything is going to be cool. We will pass this class with flying colors. The professor seems pretty chill too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a professor like him before. Most of them are hard to assess, so I think that we got lucky.”

            Luck. Yeah, that was it.

            After lunch was over, Justin walked me back to campus, placing a kiss on my cheek. He seemed in a much better mood, and so did I. I wasn’t mad at him anymore for what he did, though he did need to slow down on his drinking because that would never happen twice.

            I was walking down the hall, heading to my next class, when I felt someone press their hand over my mouth and drag me into a closet of some sort. I wanted to scream as loud as I could, but whoever had me was strong.

            My eyes were closed because I was just too scared to face whoever had dragged me here, but when he spoke, my eyes immediately opened, and I relaxed.

            “Riley,” he whispered as he pressed his lips to mine. The kiss was intense and s****l. It was like my lips were on fire, craving for him to burn me. “I want you.”

            “What?” I asked, pulling away from him. “You spend all week ignoring me. Now you suddenly want me? Listen, I know that you are my teacher Professor Bryant, but I won’t let you walk over me.”

            He moaned. “Say it again.” I scrunched my nose, a little confused by what he meant. “Say it again, Riley.”

            “Professor Bryant?” I said it as more of a question than saying his name.

            Dylan picked me up and backed us into a wall so that my back was flat against it. I didn’t stop him as he started kissing on my neck, leading down to my now exposed breasts. “You are so beautiful.”

            I let him push up my skirt around my hips and move my panties to the side because I realized that I’ve never wanted another man as much as I wanted him right now.

            “Let me do what I want to you, just once, Riley. You have no idea the things that I have fantasied about doing to your body.”

            His words melted me on the spot. His words just once echoed around in my head. I didn’t want this to be a one-time thing, but if it was all that I could get out of him, I would take it.

            “Okay,” I moaned through my pressed lips as he continued kissing my neck. “Right now, I’m all yours, Professor Bryant.”

            Dylan pressed his erection against my stomach as I said his name. He really did like it when I said that. I would make a note of that. 

            “I want you, Riley, but doing this in a closet isn’t what I had in mind for my first time f*****g you. You deserve more than to have s*x within a broom closet.”

            I slid down his impressively strong figure with my feet back on the ground. No, this wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t care that we were in a closet. My fantasy was about to come true. Maybe having s*x in a closet wasn’t a part of it, but it didn’t matter as long as I had him.

            “Please,” I begged more than I had begged for anything in my entire life.

            Dylan dropped to his knees, lifting my leg and resting my foot on his shoulder. “I won’t have s*x with you in this closet, but I will give you something to look forward to, Ms. Bell.”

            He slid my panties to the side, almost ripping them. Seconds passed with my heart beating against my chest hard and fast. Then, I felt his hot breath on my clit, right before his tongue darted out, causing me to moan loud.

            “Shh. You don’t want me to stop, do you?” I shook my head back and forth so fast that my head started to spin. “Good. Then stand still and keep quiet.”

            Dylan lashed his tongue against my clit again. I had to bite on my arm to keep from screaming his name like I wanted to. When he slipped a finger inside me while continuing with his tongue, I saw stars. If this was even close to what it was like to have s*x with him, I was screwed. There was no way that I could keep up with the intensity he was giving me right now.

            “Come for me, Riley,” he commanded. I obeyed like any girl would do in their right mind and collapsed around his expert finger inside me. “You taste so good, Riley. See for yourself.” 

            He kissed me again, slipping his tongue into my mouth so I could taste what he did to me. It was the most erotic thing that I had ever done, and I was really enjoying the fact that it was with him.

            When he pulled away from our kiss, he pushed my skirt back down the length of my legs and gave me the sexiest smile. His hair was a mess, but it made him look even more irresistible. 

            Dylan pressed his forehead against mine. I pressed my hand over his chest, and he let out an exhale of air. “We can’t do this, Riley.”

            “You keep saying that, but here we are. I’ve thought about you ever since that first kiss that we shared, and I know that you think about me too.”

            “Yeah, but that doesn’t make it okay. You are my student, Ms. Bell. There are some lines that teachers aren’t supposed to cross, and this is one of them, but you are all that I think about. You tasted better than I could have ever imagined, leaving me wanting more, much more.”

            I gulped. My insides were on fire, begging for his touch again. I wasn’t used to this kind of attention, but it was nice. How could I want something I never knew was missing from my life before?

            “This weekend, I am taking you out so we can be alone. I need to spend some alone time with you, Riley, but I will make myself clear and let you know this will be a one-time thing. After this weekend, we go back to being strangers and nothing more. Teaching means everything to me, and I’m not some guy that you want to be with. As much as I want you, I have to let you go.”

            “Then why even ask to spend a weekend with me, Professor Bryant? All this will do is make me want you more.” How was I going to walk away from him after spending a weekend with him? I didn’t see it as being possible.

            Dylan sighed and kissed me passionately. “I’m not the guy for you, Riley. You deserve a guy that can give you everything you want and need, and I’m not that guy. All I am is your professor that wants to do incredibly bad things to you. We could never have a relationship. You know that, right?”

            Tears started to form in the corners of my eyes. I didn’t want a weekend with him. Not if he was going to talk to me this way. “Got it. All you want is s*x from me, and that’s it. Well, don’t even worry about it, Dylan. I’m ending this before it even begins. Forget this weekend. I have plans with Justin anyway.”

            I opened the door without saying anything else or looking to see if anyone was around. At that moment, I didn’t care if anyone saw what we were doing. I wasn’t thinking about the consequences. All I could think about was getting as far away from Dylan as I could.
