Under her gaze

Zara Voss knew better than to speak up in Dr. Selena Moreau's lecture hall. Everyone did. Moreau was brilliant, intimidating, the kind of professor who silenced a room with a glance.

But Zara challenged her anyway.

What starts as a clash of ideas spirals into a dangerous game of control, tension, and desire. And if there's one thing Zara should know by now-it's that Selena doesn't play games she isn't planning to win.

A dark, slow-burn sapphic romance about defiance, temptation, and the fine line between power and surrender

Hey lovelies ✨
This is my first time writing and posting a slow-burn professor x student fic here, and I'm so excited to share it with you.

A couple of things before we dive in:
• Both characters are consenting adults (23 & 35), so it's definitely a forbidden vibe, but nothing illegal.
• Expect dark academia aesthetics, psychological tension, and wlw slow-burn romance that builds before it gets spicy.
• Zara's roommate Jade is the unhinged comic relief you didn't know you needed-witchy, chaotic, and always stirring the pot with tarot cards and bad advice.
• This will be an ongoing series, updated as regularly as I can manage 🖤

While the story progresses, if any triggering themes are discussed I will post a TW list here in the description and at the start of the chapter.

If you're into intimidating, ice-cold professors, messy bold students, and power-play tension that coils tighter every chapter-welcome, you're in the right place.

Grab your coffee (or your wine) and let's get into it.
