Teach Me Professor (A WilliamEst Inspiration)

Est Supha did not make his way through twenty years of academia, a brutal divorce, and a department full of egos just to have his life derailed by an alpha. Again.
He's months away from becoming Head of the Department, and finally-finally-his world is stable. Predictable. Quiet.

Maybe too quiet.

Fine. He's boring. He drinks the same tea every morning, goes to the same gym twice a week, and hasn't hooked up in... a while.
But he learned his lesson with his ex-husband: predictable alphas get you wrecked, emotionally and financially.

So when a stupidly handsome, stupidly charming young alpha-William Jakrapatr, all dimples and wild energy-asks him for a very strange, very alpha-coded favor.
Est, for reasons he refuses to examine, actually agrees.

It's one reckless night.
One stupid moment of weakness.
One very (very) distracting scent he definitely should not be thinking about.

Then that same alpha walks into his lecture hall the next week...
...as his new student.
Uh ohh....
~~~~
William Jakrapatr has never wanted a boyfriend before.
His friends call him picky-William says he's just got a sensitive nose. If someone's scent doesn't hit right, it doesn't hit, and that's that.

But then he meets Est-sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, smelling like citrus and warm rain-and suddenly William is thinking about mating instincts and long-term plans and what it would be like to have Est's scent on his clothes permanently.

Minor issue: Est is his professor.
...Major issue: Est is convinced William is a walking disaster who will ruin his career and possibly his life.

William disagrees.
He's pretty sure he's the best thing that's ever going to happen to the man.

And he's absolutely not about to let Est run away now-not after getting a taste of exactly how good they can be together.
He's going to make sure Professor gives him enough privet tuitions.
