his watch. And if he didn’t have a presentation on Regency etiquette in twenty minutes, he probably would.
“Well.” She blushed. “No.”
Celeste usually set the curve for all his exams. So why was she here seducing him, a man almost twice her age? For a brief moment, he let his mind indulge in the possibility.
Could her attraction to me be real?
The way her mouth and tongue practically worshipped his cock should have been evidence enough. And she seemed to thoroughly enjoy the orgasms he gave her. The twitching and contracting of her pussy walls certainly verified that fact. Seth didn’t want to allow himself to believe it. He didn’t want to risk getting his ego crushed again. She had to have another motive for seducing her professor, but what?
His brow shot up. “Do you need help with another class?”
She shrugged. “My philosophy grade isn’t too hot.” She slipped two perfectly rounded tits into a lacy bra.
Seth’s clenching fingers fought the urge to pull her breasts back out, squeezing the nipples to tautness.
“I’m afraid I can’t help you with philosophy.”
“No.” Celeste pulled on a tight ivory top, the straps of her bra visible through sheer sleeves. “Maybe you could help me with my other A minus.”
Seth suppressed a grin. She was worried about an A minus when half of his students could barely retain passing grades. “What’s your other A minus?”
“Medieval literature.” Flipping open a cosmetic mirror, she combed her hair with her fingers.
His gaze was lost in the cascading waves of blonde hair as it fell around her shoulders and down her back. “I can tutor you for your literature class. But why do you need to keep your grades so high? Is this for a master’s program?”
“No,” she sighed. “My parents.”
Unable to resist, he bridged the gap between them, grasping her silken locks, enjoying the smooth texture as it flowed through his calloused hands like running water. “They wouldn’t be happy with an A minus?” He inhaled the faint aroma of peaches mixed with the sweat of their passion. A paradox of innocence and experience, and he couldn’t get enough of her sweet seduction.
A sardonic laugh died in her throat as her gaze drifted to his. “They wouldn’t be happy with anything less than perfection.”
“You’re an adult now.” He cupped her jaw, needing to touch her smooth skin. “Don’t let them control you.”
“Unfortunately.” Celeste’s jaw stiffened, her eyes turning cold. “They have all the money. They promised funds to jumpstart my career, but only if I make the grades.”
“You must be under a lot of pressure.” Seth’s voice dropped.
He knew what it was like to constantly strive to please someone, only to always fall short of her expectations. Nothing he did was good enough for his ex-wife. He wouldn’t be surprised if Celeste’s parents were the same way. Setting unbelievably high standards, and then when she achieved them, still complaining she could have done better.
“I’m used to it.” She rolled her eyes. “It’s been this way my whole life.”
He thought he caught a gleam of hatred burn through Celeste’s cold surface. What had her parents done to her?
“I’m sorry.” He gently kissed her cheek.
“It’s not your fault.” She exhaled deeply, shaking her limbs as if she was purging her body of some invisible, evil aura. “Anyway, I think I can raise my Medieval grade if I get an A plus on my term paper.”
“Do you need help with that?” He knew somehow that helping her with her research paper was probably borderline cheating, but what the hell, he’d already violated several school rules with her sexually. Besides, he wanted to see her succeed. He wanted the satisfaction of knowing she could rub her accomplishment in her parents’ faces.
Celeste smiled. “It’s almost finished. Maybe just a proof-read.”
Wow! This girl is good.
Four weeks left of school, and her term paper was near
