Addiction (The Hunted, #2)

by Ivy Smoak

"Were we? I feel like we weren't. But I do understand. And I'm so glad that you make our daughter happy."

"Don't you ever think that you've disappointed us, Pen. We love you so much."

"Penny Taylor, are you referring to my apartment as home?" He looked so happy.

"Okay. Home it is."

I felt so safe in his arms. It finally felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

"You think I gave my prettiest female students bad grades in hopes that they'd come to my office hours? So that I could get them alone and then what? Bargain with them to improve their grades? I didn't bargain with you, Penny. You kissed me. You asked me to punish you. I can get any girl I want. I don't need to make deals with immature college students to suck me off. I'm not desperate."

"I'll always defend you. I love you."

I loved when he talked like that. His naughty words seemed to have a direct line to my groin.

"Then you'll have to play better than that." He let my waistband slap back against my skin. He picked up his pool stick and easily hit another solid ball in. "Get on your knees, Penny."

"Make me cum in your mouth."

His cock began to pulse in my mouth. I pulled back just in time, letting his hot semen shoot into my mouth instead of directly down my throat. It was sweet and salty at the same time. I loved the taste of him. I continued to slide my lips up and down his shaft until he finished. And then I greedily drank it all down.

"Baby." He kissed the inside of my thigh. "I like pleasing you." He kissed my opposite thigh. "And I like when you tell me what you want." He stood up and pulled me off the table. "But you didn't ask me to make you come. I wish you had. I love making you come with just my tongue. It's your shot, though. Get your next ball in and tell me what you want."

"Put your hands on the table, Penny." "James, you cheated. You distracted me."

I didn't want to be playing pool. I wanted to be on my back in the middle of the table with his cock deep inside of me.

He grabbed my chin in his hand. "I still like when you call me that." "Professor Hunter?" His Adam's apple rose and fell. "Yes."

"I want you to fuck me in the middle of the pool table, Professor Hunter." "Then get in the middle and spread your legs, Miss Taylor."

At least we could be weird together.

"Whatever you want to be. You're mine." I smiled down at him. He ran his palm along my cheek. "Yours." His chest rose and fell under my arm. Nothing else mattered. I was his and he was mine.

Penny, I went for a run. I probably won't be back before you leave. Good luck on your speech today. Although you don't need it. As long as you don't curse and stray off topic. Text me about lunch. I can pick you up and take you somewhere off Main Street. And call me if you need to talk. Or if you decided to drop Comm, which I still hope you do, I'll see you soon. Love, Professor Hunter P.S. Try not to fall in love with your new Comm professor.

"I don't want to be the reason that you're unhappy."

Tyler shrugged. "I didn't even notice and I knew you. But looking back on it now, there were a lot of signs."

And for the investigation to come back clean.

Ugh Penny!!!!

He was wearing athletic shorts and no shirt. It looked like he had thrown on a zip up hoodie at the last second before coming to get me, but it wasn't zipped. His torso glistened with sweat. God was he sexy.

HELL YES IVY. yasssssss

James looked down at my left hand. "Marry me." "What?" "Let's get married." He ran his hand through his hair. "And move somewhere where no one knows either one of us. We can start over together."

Did I just reject a proposal from Professor Hunter? I hadn't even meant to do it. I wanted to marry him. But not like this. Not when he was mad. "No. I want to marry you. Just not...today. This was hardly a romantic proposal, Professor Hunter."

James laughed. "He's not going to hate you." "He probably thinks you're going to go out every night and pick up girls."

"So what made you give into temptation with me?"

"When I'm low I feel like I can't breathe. Even when I indulge in whatever it is I'm addicted to. It's just an escape. But with you, I feel like I can finally breathe for the first time. You're not an escape. You're a new way of living that I didn't even know was possible." His Adam's apple rose and fell.

"Does he get mad at you a lot too?" Rob yelled over his shoulder. "I bet that makes things exciting in bed."

I wanted him to know that I loved him back. I wanted him to be able to trust me.

"But I'm not wonderful. I'm used to people saying bad things about me. I can handle it."

"Yeah, we don't use them." Geez. Is nothing personal between these two? "Fuck, I hate you. I hate both of you so much."

"Yeah. Fuck them." James laughed. "You're right. Fuck them."

Chapter 33 Saturday

"I guess there's just one last thing I need to do here." James stopped outside the coffee shop where we had first met. "What, get a cup of coffee?" He smiled at me and walked into the coffee shop, holding the door open for me.

When I walked in, I froze. There were rose petals all over the floor and there had to be at least a hundred candles. The whole shop was empty except for us.

I laughed. "So you went to New York last night and got me into a new school. And bought a coffee shop. You've been busy." I couldn't stop smiling.

"You'll always be Professor Hunter to me."
