I was in the final year of my master's program. All that stood between me and graduation was my dissertation-or so I thought. That was before office hours turned into late nights, and before my thesis became the second thing I couldn't stop thinking about...and suddenly, the only thing harder than finishing my dissertation was not falling for him.
Professor Thomas was brilliant, unreadable, and far too composed. He challenged my arguments, fixed my texts, and ruined any chance I had at emotional clarity. I never meant to fall into the gray zone between us. But we crossed the line quietly - and now, I'm not sure how to come back.

Professor Parks
Bellamy I was late to class. He made sure everyone knew it. Dr. Elijah Parks. My Microbiology professor. Brilliant. Distant. Impossible to crack. He barely looks at me. Barely acknowledges me. And when he does, it's to make some dry, cutting remark meant to put me in my place. But I see the way his jaw tightens when I push back. The way his hands clench when I tease. The way his cold, unreadable eyes darken when I step too close. I didn't expect him to get under my skin the way he does. I didn't expect to enjoy pushing his buttons, cracking that icy exterior until I saw the fire underneath. And I definitely didn't expect our late nights in the lab to start feeling less like work and more like a dangerous game-one we're both on the verge of losing. Elijah I don't like people. I tolerate them. I endure them when necessary. But I don't like them. Bellamy Rhodes is no exception. My late best friend's daughter. She's brilliant. Headstrong. Reckless. She gets under my skin in a way no one ever has. And the worst part? She knows it. I ignore her. I cut her down with sharp words and colder looks. I remind her, again and again, that I am not someone to be toyed with. And yet she keeps pushing, keeps testing, keeps smiling at me like she knows something I don't. She's temptation wrapped in chaos-bold, relentless, completely unaware of just how much she affects me. She pushes me too far. She tests every boundary I set. She teases me with that wicked little smirk, knowing damn well I'm close to snapping. She's forbidden fruit. And God help me, I've already taken a bite. *** Professor x Student Grumpy MMC that's secretly a softie Jealous/possessive MMCComplete![code of ethics [professor bruce wayne x reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/394716756-256-k672847.jpg)

This could be something
He ruined everything the day we met. I was twelve. He was the new boy next door. Our families clicked like best friends in a sitcom until he did something that changed everything. For five years, I avoided him. No texts. No waves. No eye contact. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate has a wicked sense of humor... because now we're stuck in the same university. Same course. Same lectures. Same everything. And he? He acts like nothing happened. Like we were never strangers. I swore I wouldn't forgive him. But the heart has its own syllabus and apparently, he's on every page. Enemies. Classmates. Maybe... something more. This is the story of how silence turned into sparks.Complete
Trouble
'Little Trouble,' he called me. The problem? I'm a college student. And he's my new English professor. He had rules. I broke every single one. Decorum. Discipline. Distance. All cute in theory-until he looked at me like that. "Teach me discipline," I whispered. "Is that what you want, Trouble?" he murmured. "To be handled?" Now we're playing a dangerous game. One we can't win. And he's falling harder than either of us planned. This isn't just a lesson in temptation- It's a slow-burn crash. And I'm the girl rewriting all his rules. #1 in troubledgirl #1 in smuttyreads #1 in messyromance #1 in hotprofessor #1 in intensechemistry #1 in emotionaldamage #3 in rebel #1 in baddie #1 in studentteacher #1 in tabooloveComplete
Bold Love
!Unedited! "Your skirt is awfully short to be appropriate for school." I look down at my legs, hands smoothing out a wrinkle in my skirt. "I don't remember that we have a dress code. And we're not in highschool anymore, this is college." When I return my attention back to her, my breath hitches in my throat. "Pull it down." ----- Y/n has a mission. Her last year at university is underway and she is sure that nothing could distract her. That is until her new English professor stumbles into her life and brings her not only a welcome intrusion but also confusing unwanted feelings.Complete
Bittersweet Chaos
Perfect. Peaceful. That's how I would describe my life. So moving to a different state to be with my boyfriend while I finish my degree makes sense. Only, until it doesn't. My life is going great. I'm settling into my new home, establishing a routine with my boyfriend. Until I meet him. He's my professor. He's a complete asshole. For a while, I can't stand him. But then something changes. Soon I find myself looking forward to his class. I find myself questioning am I really happy or am I just used to this routine? This reliability? I find myself thinking about him when I shouldn't. I start feeling alive. They says there's a calm before the storm, well... I call it chaos. Because no one could prepare me for what I would find.Complete
Immoral Pleasure
In the blurred lines of academia, I found myself caught in something I should've never touched. Saylin Carter wasn't just my professor - he was magnetic in a way that made it impossible to look away. What started as a few glances and subtle moments spiraled into something reckless, something consuming. Every time we crossed that line, it burned away whatever caution I had left. I didn't care about his elegant, distant wife, or the sweet little boy he sometimes mentioned in passing. I should have - but I didn't. I wanted Saylin in a way that scared me, a way that felt more necessary than breathing. The deeper I fell, the less I recognized myself. Each secret meeting became a craving I couldn't fight - a dangerous, addictive high that I needed him to feed. We weren't just playing with fire; we were the fire. In the quiet halls and shadowed corners, where the world thought everything was about discipline and ambition, we broke every rule. We danced in the dark between what was right and what we couldn't stop wanting, tangled together in a story I knew could only end in ruin - but still, I couldn't make myself let go.Complete
The Professor's Rule
One night. One stolen kiss. One forbidden touch. It was supposed to be just a moment, an escape. But the moment we shared came with consequences I didn't expect. When I walked into his lecture the next day, everything I felt for him crashed down and he's now the man I answer to. Every glance. Every brush of his hand. Every word... makes it clear: This isn't over. I shouldn't want him. But I do. And he knows it. The desire is dangerous. The temptation is impossible. And giving in... could ruin us both.Complete
