My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 42 ~ CORNERED
RYDER'S POV Adrian stands at the front of the room, his usually composed posture rigid, a muscle ticking in his jaw. He doesn’t look at the class as he begins to collect the papers, moving down the rows with aggressive efficiency. The air around him practically vibrates with suppressed fury, a direct result of the filth Kai had spewed just while the test was going on. Ryder finishes his final sentence and stands up, approaching the desk. He watches Adrian closely, noting the tightness around the professor’s eyes, the way his fingers white-knuckle the stack of exam sheets. Ryder places his paper on top of the pile. Adrian doesn’t look up. He doesn’t offer a nod or a glance of acknowledgment. He simply scoops up the paper, turns on his heel, and marches out of the hall, the door clicking shut with a final, sharp snap. Ryder stands there for a moment, his hand hovering in the empty air. He runs a hand through his hair, tugging at the roots in frustration. He wants to go after A
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 41 ~ YOU ARE DONE
ADRIAN'S POV The air in the exam hall hangs heavy, stagnant with the scent of graphite dust and nervous sweat. It is a suffocating silence, broken only by the rhythmic, aggressive scratching of pens against paper and the occasional, shifting creak of a wooden chair. Professor Adrian paces the narrow aisles between the desks, the heels of his polished oxfords clicking sharply against the linoleum, a metronome for the students’ anxiety. He moves like a predator, his gaze sweeping over the bowed heads, looking for the slightest twitch of dishonesty. The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a stark, clinical light over the room. Adrian stops near the back row. Something is off. Kai, usually a slouching mess of arrogance, is sitting rigid, his eyes darting not to his paper, but downward toward his lap. Adrian narrows his eyes, taking a silent step closer. The blue glow of a screen illuminates Kai’s thigh, reflecting sharply against the varnished wood of the desk. He is cheating,
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 40 ~ UNSPOKEN WANT
RYDER'S POV Ryder sits on the edge of the beige velvet sofa, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at the black charging cable snaking across the floor to the outlet. He told himself yesterday, and the day before that, that he would avoid Adrian. He promised to keep his distance, to stop showing up at the professor’s house like a lost dog looking for a handout. Yet here he is, sitting in the quiet living room, waiting for the red battery icon on his phone to turn green. The silence in the house is heavy, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator and the rhythmic ticking of a clock on the wall. A sharp, wet sound echoes from the hallway—achoo. Ryder’s head snaps up. He knows that sound. Moments later, Adrian shuffles into the living room, clutching a fistful of tissues. His nose is pink, rubbed raw at the tip, and his eyes are watery and glassy. He looks wrecked, smaller than usual in a loose sweater that hangs off one shoulder. He opens his mouth to speak, but another
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 39 ~ UNWANTED DESIRES
ADRIAN'S POV The morning light filters through the blinds in sharp, slanted beams, cutting across the bedroom floor, but Adrian doesn’t feel the warmth. He is curled beneath a heavy duvet, shivering violently despite the sweat beading on his forehead. The cold he caught yesterday has settled deep in his chest, a heavy, rattling weight that makes every breath a chore. He sneezes, a harsh, wet sound that tears through the silence, followed immediately by a groan as his body aches in sympathy. William was here earlier to drop a bottle of drugs he got from a pharmacy drop it on the nightstand before heading out to work, a silent routine of care that Adrian usually appreciates but today barely registers through the fog of his fever. Adrian forces himself up, the room spinning slightly as he swings his legs over the edge of the bed. He grabs the pills, dry-swallowing two with a grimace, and chases them with the lukewarm juice. The taste is acidic and sharp on his tongue, shocking him
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 38 ~ SILENCE
RYDER'S POV Ryder’s eyes snap open. The silence of the classroom presses against his eardrums, a heavy, suffocating blanket after the roar of the music. He rips the headphones off, the cord whipping against his chest, and spins in his chair. The plastic seat groans under the sudden movement, the sound sharp in the empty room. Adrian is standing there. He’s just inside the doorway, motionless. His eyes are locked directly onto Ryder, dark and unreadable, piercing through the dim light like he’s trying to carve the answer to a question he hasn’t asked out of Ryder’s skull. The intensity of it makes the hair on Ryder’s arms stand up. It’s a look that strips away the layers of noise and distraction, leaving him raw. Ryder groans, the sound dragging up from his chest. He rubbs a hand over his face, the stubble scratching his palm. His head is swimming, the lingering bass line from the music still thumping against his temples. He must be seeing things again. The lack of sleep, th
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 37 ~ EX CAPTAIN
RYDER'S POV The paper lies on the ice, stark white against the scarred, gray surface, soaking up the cold. It’s a formal notice, heavy with official letterhead, but right now it’s just trash on the ice. "You’re done," Miller says, his voice low and dangerous, cutting through the hum of the cooling system. "You are not worthy of being captain of this team. Effective immediately, you are stripped of your title. Get off my ice. Now." The shock ripples through the rink, a collective gasp that sucks the air right out of the massive space. Twenty pairs of skates stop scraping. The silence is heavier than the pads Ryder wears. He stands there, his chest heaving, staring at the letter lying near his skates. His heart hammers against his ribs like a trapped bird, the pulse throbbing in his ears so loud it drowns out the distant Zamboni engine. He drags his eyes away from the paper to Kai. Kai is wiping a smear of bright red blood from his mouth with the back of a gloved hand, his to
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 18 ~ IN FRONT OF HIS DICK
RYDER'S POV The sharp scent of Zamboni polish and cold ice fills the arena, mixing with the sweat-heavy musk of the locker room tunnel. Ryder skates off the ice, his chest heaving, sweat dripping down his temple and stinging his eyes. Usually, he lingers, trading jabs with his teammates, slappin
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 17 ~ BURNING TENSION
ADRIAN'S POV The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum with a low, headache-inducing buzz, but Adrian barely hears it over the drone of his own voice. He is dissecting the themes of repression in The Picture of Dorian Gray, but his mind is miles away, roaming the rows of tiered seating with
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 16 ~ FUCK THIS
RYDER'S POV Rain hammers against the roof of the taxi, a relentless, rhythmic drumming that matches the pounding in Ryder’s skull. He sits in the backseat, water dripping from the soaked hem of his jeans onto the expensive leather upholstery. The driver shoots a nervous glance in the rearview m
My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance) CHAPTER 15 ~ TENSION
ADRIAN POV Adrian’s palms pressed against Ryder’s chest, the friction of the cotton shirt grounding him even as his heart hammered a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He pushed, not with force, but with the trembling urgency of a man waking from a deep sleep. Ryder’s lips were warm, tasting fain
