“Marin! I’ve got good news.”
I rush into my downtown Manhattan office, throwing my coat on a hook and yanking the papers out of my messenger bag.
Rounding the corner, I find Marin typing away on her laptop.
When I reach her, I bend down and kiss her hard on her lips. She returns the kiss with such fervor I nearly forget what I’m about to tell her and find myself sinking down to my knees so I’m kneeling in front of her, wrapping my fingers behind her neck, drawing her in for more.
That’s the thing I’ve found since meeting Marin. With her, it’s never enough. I always want more of what she has to offer. The desire to see her smile every day. To watch her face light up with excitement when she’s learned something new. To see the expression of lust in her eyes when she sucks my cock.
I shake my head to clear my thoughts and pull back, noticing the moisture left on Marin’s lips and imagining them parting and wrapping around my length as she takes me in.
She lifts an eyebrow and grins. The one that tells me she knows exactly what I’m thinking and that she’s down to fuck. I scan the table a few feet from us, remembering the time I fucked her bare at La Selva, and how we’ve been doing that ever since.
But I digress.
Flipping open the flap of my bag, I pull out the document I received in the mail and have been carrying with me. The one that seals my future. Our future.
I’ve never needed recognition or accolades regarding my work. What I did need – the thing I never knew I needed before Marin joined me – was someone who believed in me and wanted to be by my side.
Marin takes it as she looks up at me in question. “What is this?”
“My paper…our paper…and the research data we submitted to Oxford has been accepted. They’ve invited me to act as a guest lecturer for a semester starting in the fall.”
Marin’s hand covers her open mouth. “Oh my God, Nathaniel. That’s amazing. Or I should say, brilliant!”
I laugh at her feeble attempt to use to a British accent, but she’s adorable for trying.
She flips through the contract a few pages until she lands on the page I earmarked and folded over. The one that I wanted her to see.
When her wide eyes connect with mine again, I nod my head.
“Yes,” I confirm, placing my hands on her knees and squeezing them gently. “I asked them to include my research assistant during my stay. That is if you’d be interested in traveling to…”
I don’t have a chance to finish when she drops the packet on her lap and flings her arms around my neck, pecking my cheek, jaw, and forehead before landing on my lips.
“Yes, Nathaniel! The answer is yes. I’d love to travel abroad with you again. You made my New Year’s resolution become a reality and my first excursion with you was the best road trip I could ever have imagined. I can’t wait for more adventures with you in the future, Professor Leeds.”
And just like that, her comment fills my head with all sorts of imagined naughty professor scenarios with Marin as my sexy student assistant. I lift her up in my arms and carry her over to the table, where I push the books and papers aside and set her down as she laughs with carefree joy.
“I like the sound of that,” I reply, giving her an open-mouthed kiss along her neckline as I make my way to her ear. “Now let me start with your first lesson.”
The End
