❝ Whatever we have is not worth it, ❞ I hissed to the amused man in front of me.
"Darling, nothing can stop us. We're like gravity and the earth. We depend on each other to be stable," He gently whispered back, extending his rough and gigantic hand as a peace offering.
"You should know that I'm screwed if anyone gets a hold of this," I tried to shoot down the man again, but he just waved his free arm as if merely dismissing an impossible student.
"We were both screwed from the moment you walked in the classroom," He winked, shooting me an adorable grin.
"You going to kiss me, or should I do it?" He murmured, inching closer so he could grab my waist.
I gave him one look, and at that moment I knew the rocket had launched.
There was no turning back now.
