The class filters out but Brooklyn remains. She’s seated in her chair. Arms crossed. Legs crossed. Eyes searing.

“You wanted to speak with me?” I ask as I store my notes in my bag.

She slides out of her seat and snatches her bag, slinging it over her shoulder as she walks slowly over to me. The air is charged and thick as Brooklyn approaches me. I bite the inside of my mouth, trying to focus on something other than those sweet cherry lips.

I slide a finger beneath my collar and tug for a bit more breathing room.

“Yes,” she says, her bag thudding on the desk next to me. “But first, I want to know why you cut me off during class. You asked a question and I was answering it but then you changed subjects.”

“Ms. Masters…” I rasp. “I wasn’t sure where you were going. It’s my duty to ensure the class isn’t… derailed. That no student feels uncomfortable.”

“Do I make you uncomfortable, Professor?”

She steps forward, invading my space. Poke. She’s hardly a foot from me and already my body’s thrumming with need.

I strangle a moan in my throat as my gaze drifts down her slender neck.

Uncomfortable? No. Not even close. It’s torturous what Brooklyn does to me. The animalistic need to make her mine claws to the surface every time I see her. Every time I hear her sweet voice or smell her delicate fragrance.

She has no clue what she does to me.

She has no idea how badly I want to tear those tiny shorts off, peel her panties from her waist, and make her mine. Again. And again. And again. When it comes to Brooklyn, there’s never enough.

I need to touch her. I need to claim her. Protect her. But I have to swallow every primal urge like a bitter pill because I can’t have her. There’s no world where we have a future together unless we want everything to come crashing down around us.

Still, I can’t stop clinging to the possibility of crossing that bright yellow line. Keeping her at a distance is painful.

“Not at all, Ms. Masters. There’s nothing about you that makes me uncomfortable.”

She sucks in her bottom lip, her teeth scraping against it as she lets it go. “Too bad,” she says.

My throat is painfully dry as I swallow.

Too bad it’s early in the day and my restraint isn’t in tatters. If we were at home, this meeting might unfold differently. I might act on the urges I’m suppressing right now.

Too bad, indeed.

“Is there anything else, Ms. Masters?”

“How do you overcome a block? A stubborn obstacle.”

“Writer’s block?”

“Sure,” she says after a brief pause.

I can’t help but think we’re not talking about writing. I can’t help but think she’s drifting closer to that line, urging me to follow. Instead, I answer her question.

“You write,” I say. “As glib as that may sound. Sure, you may not understand your story or characters well enough, but it all comes back to the process of sitting down with a blank page.
