Teach Me Desire
He's strict, ruthless, and utterly untouchable. She's determined, seductive, and completely off-limits. Professor Alexander Graves rules his lecture hall with an iron will. Emotionless, disciplined, and feared, he has no time for distractions-especially not from a student half his age. Love is nothing but an illusion, and desire is a weakness he refuses to entertain. But then she walks in. Ivy Monroe has spent years nursing a secret crush on the one man she can never have. She knows he's cold, distant, and would never cross the line... unless she pushes him. A glance here, a lingering touch there-slowly, she starts to crack his carefully built walls. The tension between them is dangerous. Forbidden. Addictive. And when the lines blur, neither of them is prepared for what happens next. A steamy, forbidden, slow-burn romance filled with tension, longing, an age gap that makes it all the more tempting, and a professor who never thought he could fall-until her.
My Addiction
DISCLAIMER- This is my first story I've written and published publicly. If anyone has any tips please feel free to let me know, Thank you! Korbyn Sanchez came to university to escape, to start over, to find herself. What she didn't expect was to fall under the spell of the one woman she's forbidden to want-her Philosophy professor, Dr. Dani Sinclair. Dani is brilliant, composed, and untouchable-until she isn't. Beneath her icy professionalism burns a slow hunger that mirrors Korbyn's own. As desire simmers into obsession, the two women dance a line sharpened by rules, reputations, and other lovers who threaten to pull them apart. From tense classroom debates to stolen touches behind closed doors, jealousy cuts deep, secrets unravel, and the cost of desire rises higher with every choice. But in the end, love doesn't follow syllabi-and neither do they.Complete
