Behind Locked Doors

Chapter 24

Despite how many times she asked, Tom refused to tell her why he began to cry so hard. She kissed away his tears and told him everything was okay, but he continued to cry. Eventually, he told her that he didn't deserve her, promised that he wanted only the best for her, and never spoke a word about it again.

Perhaps it was a good thing for Tom to have had his breakdown because he treated Anna extra spectacularly afterwards. Whenever he saw her, he pampered her with his affections. The day after the Incident Of Too Many Tears, as Anna so humbly called it, Tom had even brought her a large bouquet of red roses. When she asked him why, Tom simply shrugged and kissed her on the forehead with a quiet apology. It was quite an interesting spectacle trying to sneak out of Tom's office holding two dozen roses without suspicion.

Since said Incident Of Too Many Tears, Tom had remained particularly composed. He was collected, caring, and incredibly sexual. Yet, through all the gentlemanliness, Anna still found something that bothered her more than anything.

He had yet to bring her to his house again.

She understood that his mother was struggling, and apparently his sister was living with him now, but that didn't mean she had to be kept hidden. They were officially a couple and Tom swore he'd treat her as such, but couples typically introduced each other to their families. If Anna meant as much to Tom as he said she did, then why was she still being kept in the dark?

Anna wanted answers about his behavior but she was too focused on preparing for her finals. All of her professors had loaded her up with work and when Tom heard this, he decided to reward her class with a shorter, easier final than he would typically give. Anna thanked him very eagerly by taking his cock between her lips when he told her that. She was so relieved that he was giving them a bit of a break during finals week that she practically forgot about the concerns floating around in her mind.

He had been helping her study, and although he didn't directly give her the questions, he hinted at what she needed to know. She said he didn't need to do that - he shouldn't do that - but he waved her off and told her he wanted to.

Yet, Tom's idea of "helping Anna study" meant that he would refrain from touching her so she would focus on her work. For a week he kept his hands to himself, reminding her of when he tried to woo her to be his. Tom swore to her that the moment she handed in her final, he would reward her pleasantly and she was expecting him to live up to that.

On the day of the final, Anna slipped into the classroom quietly. For the students who were already there, they were hunched over their desks filling out their test. Anna walked towards Tom, a sudden throb of desire making itself known between her legs. Tom looked up at her with a smirk and pulled a test out from the bottom of the pile.

"Good luck on your exam, Miss Brooks," Tom purred. Anna took the test from him, her fingers barely brushing his. He scooted his seat back ever so slightly and Anna could see the bulge tenting his suit trousers.

Clearly, the man in question had also been eager for Anna to finish her final. Tom was good at teasing - a little too good for Anna's liking - but even he tended to become frustrated when his pleasure was halted for the purpose of delayed gratification. As she eyed the bulge in his already tight pants, Anna knew that she was in for something incredibly special after her exam - she just needed to clear the arousal from her brain before that special something would happen. Anna bit her lip and thanked him before turning around and sitting at her desk.

Upon opening the little booklet to begin her work, Anna noticed a little note scribbled on her paper. Her eyes widened as she read over it, her breath hitching in her throat.

Complete your test and go straight to my office. I expect you to be open and ready for me the moment I get there.

Anna looked up and caught the knowing look at Tom's face. She winked at him with a small nod before returning to her test with a very flushed face. Working through the exam wasn't hard, it was just time consuming. After roughly an hour went past, Anna folded her booklet up and stood from her seat. There were only a few students left in the room as she swayed up to the front of the room and handed Tom her book.
