Stephanie Walker is eighteen, moving across the country from Los Angeles to New York to begin her dream: law school at NYU. A new city, a new home, new friends, new everything. She's excited, but sleepless nights, old wounds, and quiet struggles follow her everywhere. She wants to live like any other college student, to blend in, to feel normal, but life hasn't been simple, and surviving on her own is harder than she expected. Every late night, every study session, every solitary drive home reminds her that life doesn't come with easy answers. Some nights, she leans on quiet habits she'd never tell anyone about, just to make it to morning. Elena Shay is thirty-two, NYU's Dean and a respected law professor. Her life is built on control, precision, and endless responsibility. At work, she's commanding, elegant, untouchable. Outside it, she's soft, warm, and human, but never careless. Elena doesn't date casually; she doesn't waste time or energy on anything that isn't worth it. She's deliberate, certain, and careful... Until Stephanie. Stephanie isn't just another student. She's sharp, captivating, and unafraid to be herself in a way that draws Elena in deeper than it should. Suddenly, the carefully maintained line between professional and personal life begins to blur. The rules, the expectations, the life Elena's worked so hard to control all scream that nothing between them can ever happen. And yet, the pull becomes impossible to ignore. As their worlds collide, Stephanie discovers a side of life she's never dared to touch: warmth, comfort, attention, and desire from someone who sees her fully, not as a girl with a "rough" childhood, but as a woman. Together, Elena and Stephanie fall into chaos, vulnerability, and longing they didn't know they were missing. Every glance, every touch, and every moment carries risk. Risk of exposure, of judgment, of everything crashing down, all shaped by the choices resting in their hands.

"I don't really like your attitude, 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥." she says, her accent flowing like water through her words. "I didn't know we were on a nickname basis, 𝘝𝘢𝘭." I retort. She walks over to me, every step deafening. Fuck my ears are definitely heating up. Her hand finds my chin. "What's the matter? Cat's got your tongue? You can at least look at me." I swallow any feelings I was just feeling. Because I can't. I can't enjoy this. I smirk. "You sure do like touching me." I let my hand come up to her arm and slowly trail my hand down. Leaving goosebumps as I go. I stop at her hand and remove it from my chin and pull her closer to me. She leans over the desk I'm sitting at, our lips just inches apart. Her eyes flicker down to my lips and she bites her lip before licking them. My heart starts pounding in my chest. I lean in and her eyes flicker back to my eyes and she steps back. "Not a chance." she shakes her head. __________________________________________________________ Robin, known as bird, has a problem. She hates being alive.
