Once again, we were hand in hand, racing to my apartment for a little privacy. In the cab on the way home, I discreetly slipped my hand under her skirt and touched her as she tried to pretend as if nothing was happening. I loved watching her sit in the cab while her cheeks began to flush. I found the way she bit her lip incredibly sexy. I wasn’t sure if I’d make it through the doors of my building without showing my excitement below the belt.

We giggled as we walked through the front door, arms around each other. I had one hand firmly on her ass and she had hers around my waist as we rushed to get inside.

When we got to the front door, none other than Kevin walked out of the elevator. He seemed surprised to see us together, looking so happy. I thought about slugging him in the face right then and there, but he was still my student and I didn’t want to get myself into trouble, especially after giving into his demands.

“You have what you want,” I said darkly. “Let me have what I want.”

He nodded as though he understood what I was trying to tell him. Then, Rebecca and I got into the elevator and we started making out. I saw Kevin look back at us before the doors closed, so I flipped him the bird and continued to kiss my new girlfriend.

We didn’t have a very good track record for making it all the way inside the apartment before we started going at each other. I just couldn’t help it—our bodies were magnetic. We just fit together like puzzle pieces. I couldn’t wait to ravish her.

There were so many good locations to choose from in my apartment. We could go back out to the hot tub and strip down, using the natural flow of the water to guide our movements. Or, I could put her up against the wall in my office, surrounded by the smell of cigars and leather bound books. The shower was always a good option, as there was something I found so sensual about cascading water. And, in many cases, the living room floor was the place I’d end up with a woman in the heat of the moment. But now, our bodies called us to my bed—old reliable.

For the first time in my memory, I was overcome with a rush of emotions. For a second, I wondered if I was feeling what my dad described when he was with his various wives. While I instinctively started to withdraw, I decided instead to go all in. I allowed myself to feel the unmatched joy of being close to a phenomenal woman.

Though we rushed the entrance, we took our time removing each other’s clothes. Rebecca carefully undid each button on my shirt, tossing it onto the floor when it was finally off. I pulled her blouse over her head and slid her skirt off, adding it to the pile of clothes.

“No panties?” I mused.

“I—I was in a hurry to kick your ass at the hotel,” she said sheepishly. “I didn’t have time to change.”

“Are you sure it wasn’t your subconscious preparing for this very moment?”

She grinned. “You’re so full of yourself. Only you would be aroused at the thought of an angry woman coming after you.”

I laughed. She was absolutely right.

“You’re absolutely stunning, do you know that?” I asked her, marveling at her naked form.

“Flatterer,” she accused. “I would say the same to you, but you have a big enough head as it is.”

“I’ll take it,” I joked, pulling her on top of me.

She squealed with delight.

Rebecca and I made love off and on for the rest of the evening. Every time we declared it to be our last, we found ourselves bargaining.

“Well, since we’re not going to do this for a few more weeks, maybe once more won’t hurt,” she’d say after I’d pull her close to me.

Eventually, we got to the point where I don’t think I could have finished another round if I tried. We were both sore and exhausted, but took to each other’s arms like old lovers. I purposefully stalled her until it was too late for her to return to her dorm. I don’t think she minded staying at my place for one more night.

As we lay in bed together, I found myself coming to terms with our new relationship. I was scared as hell and had no idea what I was doing. In all other aspects of my life, I had everything under control. But, I welcomed the new challenge. If I could master a serious relationship, then I may just have it all.

In the morning, Rebecca made breakfast while I showered and got ready for work. I was running behind, so I didn’t have one last quickie with her before our fortnight of celibacy. However, we did steal as many kisses as we could before I left for the office and she returned to her dorm.

I wasn’t sure how long my domestication was going to last, but I was going to make a serious effort. While I taught Rebecca everything she needed to know about the finance world, she would teach me how to be a better person in my personal life. It was a struggle to forget everything I thought I knew about relationships, but I decided that with Rebecca, it was absolutely worth it.
