When Sherlock Holmes is being assigned to teach a class in his brother's University, the devoted rationalist finds himself drawn to a similarly-aged student who outsmarts him with every chance she gets. When Moriarty peeks into their lives and wants both Sherlock's and Rhea's head on a silver-plated tray, they need to make sure that the bishop does not madden the entire chess board. 🎓 🎓 🎓 "I wanted her to witness the pleasure of slow, teasing motions. My lips placed butterfly kisses all over her arched jaw, and the corner of her Cupid's bow. The rising of her chest increased, as the up-and-down swinging of her bust invited me to join the fever of anticipation. Taking over her in an excruciatingly slow manner was burdensome even for me. Possessing self-control was utterly useless and I found myself disrobing it with no second thoughts. I crashed my lips to hers and devoured the sweet madness of her flesh, nibbling every inch of her moist skin." 🎓 🎓 🎓 Copyright 2016 DocendoDiscimus Cover by @cakebakinq
