At Thompson University, there's a secret game professors are playing. The name of the game is Teacher's Pet.
The mechanics:
1. Pick a student. Choose wisely.
2. Have sex with the student in select areas across campus.
3. Whoever clears all locations...

Rowen flicked through all the messages on his phone and leaned against the desk in his office. It was already half past ten and most of the teachers had gone home, leaving him alone in the building.
With a sigh, he slipped the phone back in his pocket. It was always either him or K.M. who was in the lead every year. Out of all the players who participated in Teacher's Pet, only a handful of them had actually managed to score it with a student. It was a sad fact, but it didn't stop the rest of them from trying.
With no progress on his end, K.M. was naturally in the lead. K never had a problem leading the ladies on, but he also had a penchant for being careless. It was this very behavior that Rowen considered his only advantage against him. Last he heard K had gotten into a little fight with his pet, and if he kept up with the act, Rowen could still have a chance.
No, selecting Hayleigh Sullivan could not have been a mistake. A scholar with an impressive GPA who was unfazed no matter how many times he'd embarrassed her in class... Someone smart, serious, but who might do anything for a grade, especially if her education depended on it. Perhaps that was the reason she said yes to going out with him in the first place. Otherwise she was just as gullible as every girl her age, which he would be more than happy to take advantage of.
Still, she seemed the kind of girl that had to be approached with caution. The only challenge was how to win her over fast enough to keep him in the running. It was a gamble he could've avoided had he gone with any other student, but if this was to be his third win, might as well make things a little more challenging.
Rowen drummed his fingers on the desk before rising up to leave the room. It was time to play serious.
Hayleigh played with her pen and tried to concentrate on her test paper. It was to no avail, since all the numbers on the page just swam in her head. Around the room the rest of the class kept their heads lowered, all busy with the exam. Up front, Professor Henderson was busy checking papers.
It had already been two weeks since that eventful first date, but she was still reeling from the fact that she had kissed her own teacher. She'd kept it all in, unable to tell a single soul, not even to her roommate Tara. While she hadn't spoken privately with Professor Henderson since that day, they'd been in constant communication via text.
It was almost surreal the way he seemed so detached in class and yet so engaging in his messages. Naturally, things had to be low-key given their situation, and yet it was their very setup that complicated things. She was inviting trouble into her life when it was the last thing she needed. With a scholarship to maintain, she needed to keep her nose clean and avoid any distractions.
Instead, there was Professor Henderson—handsome, smart, enigmatic, and way out of her league. He was no awkward high school boy. He was a full-grown man, and she didn't know how to deal with one. It was a risk she couldn't afford to take, not when there was so much at stake.
