Bound by Desire (A BDSM Story of a Professor and his Student)

CHAPTER XLIV: AM I FORGIVEN?

Monday. I am dreading this day to come because I know Gael will do anything just to talk to me now, but I can't avoid the inevitable. I thank Louis for his hospitality, he said he is glad that I've sorted things out with myself but he is sad that he will be alone once again. I laugh and told him I will visit him.

I am expecting Gael to appear out of nowhere, or he will grabbed me to his office so that we can talk, but the whole morning I did not saw him, so when the time of my Creative Writing course came I forgot all about him.

We don't know yet who will be Professor Signh replacement, but we heard that all her post are now filled in, so it means our class have a new Professor on this course subject.

As usual the class is noisy, it is like we already move on from the shock we felt last week in regards about the passing of our professor, and as for me I wish this day will be done so I can lay down and take a rest.

I was busy doodling on my note book, when the whole class suddenly turned silent, next comes the footsteps. I heard the girl beside me quietly gasped, and I heard murmurs around, so I lifted my face to check those people who entered the room.

"Fuck" I muttered,my eyes widen. Dr. Elena and Gael both standing at the center of the room. Gael roamed his eyes around the chairs until he caught my sight, he smirked at me as Dr. Elena started to talk

"Good afternoon, I am here with Professor Gael Monroe, he is your new professor in Creative Writing, for those who don't know, before Professor Monroe became the head of Social Science, his been helping the English department already, we all know he has a double major in English Studies. His been substituting Professor Signh since she became sick. This is a great favor on our part for we know that Professor Monroe have a lot on his plate right now but still accept this role. So I expect nothing from this class but respect. I will not took any of your time now, I will be turning you all now to Professor Monroe. Thank you" Dr. Elena long speech boomed over the room, Gael and Dr. Elena talk a few seconds more and she went out from the room after.

Gael is pacing back and forth as he rest his elbow on his left arm while he walks, then he looked at us his lips pressed on thin line.

"No need for introductions. By tomorrow you will be having new seating arrangements" his eyes darted at me as I am seated at the farthest part of the professor's table.

I can't imagine we will be back on this kind of position again, not that we are not forbidden now, but...I don't know how to feel, I can't deny that I am happy that once again he is my professor, but of course I can't also hide the fear of being caught.

He knows I have a class with Professor Signh why did he still accepted it? Or he should just chose another class without me in it.

I heard murmurs around the room. Gael just coughed and the room went dead silent immensely. I don't know if some will drop out now that Gael is our professor, he is known to be notorious with his classes.

He then started immediately, and like before I can't look at him while discussing, yes I admitted I miss the way he carry himself when he is teaching. He is confident up there, and he really knows his craft.

"I heard you guys are doing your drafts before Professor Signh passed away" Gael said as he gazed on his laptop then looked at us, he did not wait for us to reply as he continue to talk

"Next week finalized it and we will let your peers critique about it" he seriously said, I heard the deep sighs of my classmates. We continue with our lessons then after our time is up we all fixed out things.

Surprisingly my classmates are all silent, they keep on glancing to one another, letting their eyes express what their mouth can say.

"Ms. Reeves please stay" he called, when almost every one of my classmates are out from the room. I turned my head over my shoulder and looked at him. He is looking at me warily, like he is not sure if he is doing the right thing or not, I want to ignore him again but I am tired of prolonging our misunderstanding. So I turned around and walked towards him.
