She chuckles as she turns to face me, my hand still on her bare cheek, the tips of my fingers brushing the lace strap of her thong.

“What if I did wear this around them, or to class when break is over? I have to get an A, you know.”

Her grin is mischievous, and I tilt my mouth over hers, knowing she doesn’t mean it, but I’m still pissed.

I kiss her hard, biting her lip and sucking her tongue deep, before I let her go.

“You’d better be pulling my leg, or I’ll spank this ass.” I squeeze the succulent cheek in my hand, and she shifts in her boots. “You’re fucking turned on by that, aren’t you?”

She leans up and kisses my scruffy chin. “Oh, baby, spank me, please. I’m a bad girl.” She coos, and I about nut in my jeans. She laughs, then kisses my neck. “I changed in my dorm room before I came here. I’m already an A student. I don’t need to cheat.”

She dances away with a giggle, and I have to adjust my raging hard-on. Before she leaves here today, I’m fucking her in my office.

“Come on.” I take her hand and lead her to the corner where a table is set up with our lunch waiting. “I got you what you wanted.”

I texted her earlier, and she told me she wanted a cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, and pickles only. She sits down, and I drag her chair closer to mine as we dig in. She goes for her fries first, then takes a hearty bite of her burger.

I settle in to watch her as I eat too. I love that she’s into her food, but those little moans are killing me.

“What’s on your agenda for the rest of the week?” I ask to get some idea of when I’ll see her again.

“Striker is coming home Friday so he can go to Jude’s game, but he’s only staying one night. I’ll be at the hospital with Lia for the night.”

“Shit. I can’t go without seeing you that long.”

“I know, but we got this. How about Saturday you meet me at the Roadhouse, and we can have dinner?”

“I guess if that’s it. Do they have any idea how long the boys will be in the hospital?”

“They’re saying a few more weeks, until they can control their own body temperatures and breathe on their own. Both babies also need to maintain and grow in weight. Little Kyson is struggling with that right now.”

“Dang, I didn’t realize that.”

“It’s different for every baby, but full term is thirty-six to forty weeks. Lia had them at thirty-one.” She pauses. “You know it’s spring break this week, so I don’t have classes. You don’t have to worry about me liking any of the guys on campus,” she says quietly.

I reach over and lift her chin. “It’s not you, baby. I’m a jealous man. I want you all for myself.”

“I still have things to do for my classes. Lennox and I are working on a big surgical nursing project together. I also have a diagnostic imaging test as soon as we get back that I’m studying for.”

“How soon until you graduate?”

“Next May. I already have my associate’s degree as a vet tech, but now I’m going to specialize as a veterinary nurse.”

“What are your plans after graduation?”

I hate that my baby-making plans will get in the way of her goals, but I don’t hate that she’ll be mine.

“I already have two job offers.” She smiles sweetly.

“Really? That’s cool.” I’m trying to be excited for her, but I’m worried now. “Here?” I ask, hoping I sound nonchalant.

She stops eating and leans back in her chair. Her head cocks to the side, and she stares me down for a moment. Her beautiful golden gaze lasered on me. I sit back in my chair and fold my arms across my chest, staring her down.

“You have the sexiest eyes I’ve ever seen. They are so rare too. I love the darker blue ring around the green.”

“Thank you. Now answer the question.” I smirk. She’s trying to distract me.

“I thought this was just a casual thing.” She waves her hand between us.
