Looking out at the line I finally saw the end in sight, and I was thankful. I was starving and looked forward to grabbing something to eat. I smiled as the next reader approached the table, but out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw her, Trish. Just as I was about to turn and look, the fan reached my table giddy as hell, and I needed to focus on her. As soon as she turned her back to leave I looked to the side and the woman who was there was no longer. Another false Trish sighting, I thought blowing out a breath.
I finally finished with the long line of fans, and I had a blast. Terri came over and asked me if I needed any help cleaning up, but I assured her I was almost done. While I packed away my banner, I felt as if someone was staring at me. Figuring it was just a fan I turned around smiling, and it was like a punch to my gut.
It wasn’t a fan, it was Trish. Not a woman who looked like her but actually her. I was scared to make even take the tiniest step toward her for fear she would take off. I stood with my back to the table, my heart pounding in my chest out of both fear and excitement. I couldn’t form words to even come out of my mouth I was so shocked. My eyes took in every inch of her, from her beautiful blonde hair to the Sanuks she had on her feet. She was even more breathtaking than I remembered. “Trish?”
She held out a copy of my book in her hand, and I snapped my eyes to hers. “Is this book true,” she whispered. Hearing her voice was as sweet as if angels had just sung to me.
“You read it,” I asked, taken back that she would want to after everything.
“Answer me, damn it. Is this book true,” she asked with tears forming in her eyes.
“Trish, every single word is the truth.” I stepped closer to her, drawn to her like a magnet. “Every. Single. Word.” I whispered. A tear ran down her cheek, and I wiped it away with my thumb. “Don’t cry, baby. I never got a chance to tell you how I felt about you. You ran so fast. I wanted to find you, to find out how you were, but I didn’t want to be the cause of another ounce of pain for you,” I said moving closer to her. “Even if you never read it, I had to let the world know that the teacher who wasn’t really a teacher, who lied, broke your heart, and probably fucked up your last year of high school, fell in love. Head over heels, heart aching, pulse racing, love.”
A few more tears fell and before I could wipe them away she leaned in and pressed her sweet lips to mine. Claiming me, letting me know that I was every bit hers as she was mine still. I’d been dreaming about this moment for months, and it was even more than I imagined. She pulled back and we searched each other’s eyes, and in hers I saw my world. I saw my past, my present and my future. I could only hope that she saw the same in mine.
“I love you too, Levi. I did then and I still do,” she said, wrapping her arms around me.
I closed my eyes to live in the moment. This moment where my world righted itself, my heart began to beat again, and my cock smiled. Being a teacher may not have worked out how I thought it would, no, it worked out even better.
This isn't the end, just the beginning. Catch up with Levi and Trish in Professor, featuring college student Kerrie Hild and Professor Shane Jacobson.
Can You Please Do Us A Solid?
Heather and Ella would love if you would leave a review on the website you bought the book from. Book reviews are so important for authors, and help their work get into the hands of new readers!
Now this is the important stuff. This is a little information Heather and I have written for the end of the book to tell you a little bit about ourselves, and to show you how you can enter into all of the amazing giveaways we have.
First, Heather and I came up with the idea for a Teacher/ Student Romance and we both wanted to write one. Neither of us had the time to start a new project alone, so we decided to team up and write it together.
This is how we worked it out. First, we came up with our ideas. We decided we would do a dual point-of-view and figured I would go first starting from the girl’s pov.
So, I wrote Trish’s pov and Heather wrote Levi’s.
Neither of us knew what was coming until the other sent back the chapter. So one night I would write a chapter, send it to Heather and then she would read, write and send back and so on until the book was completed.
Our names of the characters: We ran a contest on our pages where we let one person name our lead male. Marie McKenney won!! And she chose Levi Wild for our sexy teacher.
Then we ran a contest and let one lucky winner have the female lead named after her. So, Congratulations Trish Tess!!! Each winner will also receive a signed copy of this book as well.
Also, Alexandra Godfrey (Heather’s PA) makes an appearance in the book. HA! Alexandra was one of our betas, and I have to say she loved seeing her name in the book. I think she said something like “No one would ever tie her up.”
Writing this book was SO much fun for Heather and I and we want to let you know a secret.
Kerrie Hild (Trish’s best friend) is getting her OWN book titled Professor and you will get to meet Shane Jacobson and follow along as Kerrie enters the world of NYU and a sexy professor can’t stay off of her mind.
