Chapter Eight

“Did you solve all the world’s financial problems or something?”

Adam shut his laptop on the lectern as Naomi walked toward him. The room was almost empty now, the few students who had stopped to ask him questions after class having just shuffled out.

“What do you mean?” he asked innocently, but he already knew. He hadn’t stopped smiling since he’d dragged himself awake at six o’clock this morning. Julie’s ‘a little while longer” had turned into several hours of the hottest sex he’d had in his life. Around 3:00 a.m., they were finally exhausted and she was practically falling asleep on top of him. He’d told her that she could stay, but she’d insisted on going home.

Neither of them had wanted to say good-bye, though. Despite his earlier protest that it would be just one night, he’d had a hard time walking her out the door. Just before she’d climbed into the cab, she had given him a lingering kiss and asked, “Will I see you at our class next Thursday?”

He’d seen so much hope in her eyes, and even though his brain had protested, he’d already known there was no way he was going to skip class next week.

“I’ll be there,” he’d told her, before kissing her good-bye.

He was in so much trouble.

“You’re wearing the sloppiest grin I’ve ever seen.” Naomi laughed, and he immediately snapped out of his musings over the way her body had felt under his, the way she had panted and shouted when he pulled her atop him and bucked up into her hot, clinging heat—

“Earth to Adam!”

Shit. He shook his head, forcing himself to focus on Naomi, who was smirking at him in an I-know-what-you’ve-been-up-to kind of way.

“I take it that you had a nice evening yesterday?”

He shrugged, trying to contain the frenetic energy he felt whenever he thought about Julie. “Yes, it was quite pleasant.”

Naomi gave a loud laugh. “Quite pleasant,” she mimicked him in a British accent. “Well, whatever you did, it certainly shows. Your class today was practically inspired. I only caught the last ten minutes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen your students this engaged.”

At that, he frowned. “It’s the same material as always.”

She tsked at him. “I know. But you’re putting a different energy into it. Just because your students are young doesn’t mean they can’t pick up on it. It’s attractive.” She waved her hand. “I say that from a purely observational point of view, mind you.”

He was feeling pretty good, like nothing could go wrong today. He’d realized this morning, on his commute to campus, that his desire for Julie had certainly not gone away after he’d slept with her. If anything, it had gotten stronger. Not to mention that her suggestion to him last night, about smiling more, had been at the forefront of his mind all during class this morning, and he’d found himself doing just that.

But he hadn’t made any promises beyond going to the next dance class. Julie hadn’t pushed him on it, either.
