When Paths Cross Again (Prof./Student)

As he moved over me, our eyes met and for just a short moment he failed to keep up the mask, that was usually on his face. I saw it in the way he clenched his jaw, desperately trying to stay in control. And I could read it in the way he furrowed his brows just slightly, angry with himself that he couldn't.
But even if I wouldn't be able to see it in his face, I would still be able to tell.
Because I could feel it.
I could feel it against me,
I could feel him.
And from the look in his eyes, I was sure:
He knew that I knew.
