The Secrets Within

Chapter 4

A full hour and a half of chemistry had flown by tho it felt as if Josline had only been in class for roughly five minutes max. Although She had 5 pages of notes, equations, and formulas for their first test coming up in 3 weeks that spoke otherwise. Tho she was hardly able to focus because Dr. Richards held every ounce of her attention her gaze kept wondering off to his eyes and the dark clouds she could see hiding behind them; this causing her to wonder what exactly he held so deep inside that caused him to be such an ass sometimes. She made a mental note to stay after class and see if she could get some answers from him. Just as the thought ran through her mind, The bell sings signaling the end of class snapping her out of her thoughts and back to reality.

"Dr. Richards?" Josline calls out to him as she slowly packs her bag obviously stalling until everyone has left the hall.

"Yes?" Jonathan turns his head slightly to the left as he notices she is still in her desk watching him. Oh great... What could she possibly want.

"I was wondering.... If we could... talk? I... I don't have another class for two hours and... have a few things I would like to ask you?.... If that's alright Sir." She speaks the last sentence politely placing her hands on top of her desk.

"About what?" He turns fully facing her leaning back against his desk obviously curious now.

"Well... I was wondering about... what you do when your not teaching?" She speaks her words carefully hoping to not alarm him to her nosiness.

"And why would that be any of your concern Ms Simmons.?" He tilts his head his lips pressed together showing his slight annoyance.

"Well.. it's not Sir but... I was just... curious.. I guess." She stutters trying to regain her confidence before she looses it. Shit... keep it together Jose..

"Well... I guess seeing as you asked so nicely.. I like to... exercise... and workout every day.. among other things..." he trails off glancing once over her body before turning his face to look out of the classroom window. Keep it together Jon she is just asking innocent questions.

"Other things Sir.?" Josline tilts her head now being to curious for her own good. Come on... tell me.

"Yes. Other things." He speaks his voice rough and commanding now. This little brat is seriously pushing it.

"What... other things?" She speaks out a high amount of curiosity in her voice now as she stands from her desk and goes to jump up on Dr. Richards desk perching herself comfortably on top swinging her legs. Come on let me in..

"You don't want to know little one." He speaks going wide eyed as the nickname he uses for his special girl slips out so effortlessly. He curses under his breath and runs his fingers through his hair his frustration clearly growing. Fuck...

"Yes I do. If I didn't I wouldn't have asked Sir." She keeps her voice soft and sweet as the nickname she is called causes immediate reaction from deep in her core tho she isn't quite sure as to why. Little one... I like him calling me that... shit Jose focus...

"You shouldn't have asked." Jonathan takes one step toward her growling out his sentence into her ear as a whisper. "Trust me flower you do not want to be in my world." He takes a step back and makes his way to the door of his office clearly trying to dismiss her. Fuck she is beautiful... and smells heavenly... get away quickly!!

"But I want to know." She bites her lip as his flustered growling whisper causes an instant puddle to form between her thighs. God please just let me in...flower... Ive never been called that before

Jonathan sighs and opens his office door extending his hand to her cautiously.

"Well... If you want to know so badly... Come on." he speaks his voice soft but emotionless as he tries his hardest to keep a level head. She really is trying to figure me out.... I dont know if this is good or bad.... But I actually want her to...

"yes Sir." Josline hops off his classroom desk and makes her way into his office turning to look at him as he closes and locks his office door.

"Are you sure... You want into my world... Its not a safe place little one." he speaks out to her his voice now filled with warning and lust growing deeper and more rugged.

"I don't care how dangerous it is. Something is different about you... something... I want to help heal. I've known it since I first laid eyes on you reading your book the first day of school." She speaks covering her mouth having revealed that she was watching him.

"Oh? Since way back then huh? Hmm interesting." He smirks an evil grin on his face as he slowly backs Josline against the wall with one hand pressed firmly next to her head against the wall before he looks down into her eyes.

"Yes Sir." She speaks her voice cracking from his closeness sending chills over her skin.

"You are a little vixen aren't you. Pursuing me even tho I have tried to dodge you several times. You really are out for trouble." He chuckles and backs away from her just enough for her to feel his absence.

"Only because I know you are hiding something. And it troubles you every day." She whispers hesitantly reaching her hand out to touch his cheek.

"But why are you so concerned tho?.. my personal troubles are none of your business." He retorts backing away out of her reach.

"I want it to be..." She speaks out biting her lip knowing she has growing feelings for the man in front of her.

"You don't know what your saying.. your just a child." He whispers instantly regretting it words.

"I can show you how 'not' a child I am if you would let me in Jonathan." She speaks his name lovingly.

"How.... How do you know my name?" He looks to her slightly shocked but amused by the cute woman in front of him.

"I've heard several teachers mention your name in conversation... mainly Mrs. Wesworth.. she seems to really have a thing for you." She speaks a tinge of jealousy in her voice as her heart begins to race and her blood boil at the thought of anyone touching him but her.
