Chapter 6

Grady

Why isn’t Faye out of my system yet? Being in bed with her is one thing, but I thought her shine would dull once we spent the entire day together. I was worried the light Faye brings to my life would fade after we slept together, like it would work her out of my system. But if anything, she shines brighter than ever. My obsession is only growing stronger, I crave her now and can’t see myself letting her go. Even wearing my comically oversized clothes, she’s the most beautiful woman in the city.

I can’t remember having such a fun day. It’s relaxed and easy going when we’re talking, fiery when we’re not. Thank goodness the movie we chose had been out for a while and the theater was empty, because there’s no way someone wouldn’t have complained if they saw us climbing all over each other, tongues entwined. If I was offered a million dollars to say one thing that happened in the film we were supposed to be watching, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

She seems to be having as much fun as me. Her smiles and laughter are so easy, and all of her chatter is interesting to me. Her lack of inhibition drives me wild. All too soon, it’s time to take her home.

About halfway back to our side of town, she goes quiet. When I ask, she tries assuring me that nothing is wrong, but something clearly is. Could she be just as disappointed as I am that this perfect day is about to end?

Or is this how she is? Moody and sullen sometimes? It doesn’t matter. Not even her solemn demeanor could cool my flame for her. And it hardly matters if she does want to keep spending time with me, because what could become of it? She’d have to quit the school she worked so hard to get into, and even harder to pay for. Or I’d have to resign when I’m on the verge of getting tenure. There’s no future for us.

Except, she’s mine.

Instead of taking the turn that will lead us to her neighborhood, I pull into a parking lot. Am I really going to do this? She turns to me questioningly, her eyes wide. Hell yes, I am.

“I want to bid on another night,” I say. “Name your price.”

I half expect her to lash out, but she throws herself across the center console and into my arms. I breathe in the scent of her hair.

“Oh, Grady, you don’t have to pay,” she says, tipping her head back for a kiss.

I want to kiss her. I want to accept her offer, too. But it has to stay a business proposal, nothing more. This can’t be a relationship because I’m not allowed to have relationships with students. And the strength of my obsession is growing too strong. I’ll do whatever it takes to break free from this infatuation. One more night, that’s all. And on my terms.

“Yes I do,” I tell her in a voice she knows not to argue with.
