SIR?

Kira's POV
Gasping for breath, I struggled to regain my balance and composed myself. Reality dawned on me while I touched my lips and stared at my freaking new professor.
Oh, god! What the f**k was I doing now?
Jackson gave me a wicked smile. His eyes spoke of how he would give me the best time of my life if I will do what he wants.
"Um… I guess you want to do it somewhere...safe, huh?" Jackson asked.
"I assure you. No one will know, Kira. We can do anything here. Like a quickie."
I smiled nervously. Even though I craved his touch so badly, the thought of others seeing us still mattered most. There would be gossip. Lots of them. All against me. They would spread rumors about how slutful I was m for seducing the new professor. So I stepped away from him, giving us enough space.
He looked at me with confusion in his eyes. "What are you doing, Kira?"
"Nothing sir Jackson."
He c****d an eyebrow.
"Sir Jackson? You can call me Jackson if it is just the two of us." He closed the distance between us and nearly brushed his lips against mine again, but I invaded it.
I should never let him tempt me. Never!
"I thought you liked it? Me kissing you just now. So why the sudden change?"
I stepped away again from him so I could think clearly. I fanned myself using my palms and walked in circles around the four walls of the elevator.
"Can't you be a role model to your students?"
He stared at me long and then threw back his head and chuckled.
"Role model? What the f**k is that? You're making me laugh. It seemed like I was seeing two versions of you. I like the former you better. She is willing and eager."
Right. If only Jackson was not my new commerce professor, perhaps we could continue what we did last night.
"I am sober now. It was a mistake. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Sir Jackson. But could we...forget about all that just happened?" I played with my hands and did not dare to look him in the eyes.
"I don't want to lose my scholarship. I put all my heart into my studies and I don't want to be suspended and have my scholarship withdrawn because I have an affair with my professor. The others would talk."
"No one will know," he said, using his thick British accent which I loved listening to so much.
"I will protect you."
Funny how he used the same line my ex-boyfriend made as his everyday anthem but failed to do so, and cheated on me.
I placed my hands between us, fighting against myself. Everything I shared with Jackson last night was good. I felt like I was in a dream. But I had to wake up to face reality. And this is the reality now. I was a student at the college and he was my new professor.
I looked up. He did the same and we looked at the camera.
"I can always do something about that, you don't have to worry about it."
I stared at the floor.
"I have to tour you around, Sir Jackson."
The disappointment was evident on his face. I knew. I was also disappointed, but what could I do? My career was more important than f*****g as of the moment.
The rest of the tour was becoming uneventful. Richard was...how would I say it? Became bored. It seemed like he already knew about some places, but did not tell me about them.
And the most shocking part?! He was always a head-turner. The news of having a sexy and hot new professor in college spread like fire and almost every girl was eyeing him. The need to poke their eyes was rising as if I had the right to do that.
"They are checking you out." I informed him, barely whispering so they would not hear.
We were on our way back to his office.
"Really? I am not aware of that."
Good for him. But not me.
I scolded myself for feeling green over him. All we had was a one-night stand. I was certain it was not Jackson's first time since the usual scenario was women always falling for him.
"You're not looking, Sir Jackson."
"You are busy on your phone." I wanted to add, but stopped myself.
"Nothing is interesting except this lady, but she doesn't want anything to do with me. She suddenly becomes uninterested."
I clenched my fist. It seemed like it was I who he was talking to.
"Are you referring to me?" I asked, all of a sudden. If something is bugging my mind, I want to face it head-on.
"Why do you think it's you? The world does not revolve around you, Kira." he said.
Shame flooded my senses. I felt my cheeks flush.
"I'm sorry for thinking about that, Sir Jackson."
He sighed again.
A couple of meters and we were done. I just wanted this to be over with.
"Errmh… I'm wondering where the mystery lady from last night could be. I hope she didn't go back to that bastard." He blurted out.
Lol. He had no idea I was the mystery lady.
"What bastard? You mean her boyfriend?" I asked.
"Yes. He should be her ex boyfriend by now. I just hope she's fine."
"Of course, she should be. You shouldn't get yourself worked up over a stranger."
Richard smiled showing me his perfectly white teeth.
I held my breath as my heart skipped a bit. Why was he so handsome? He was the living version of the forbidden fruit.
"Alright. I'll try to stop worrying, just that I can't seem to get her off my mind." he responded, feeling concerned.
"I hope she will never allow him to manipulate her again. She should wait for someone who will treat her like a queen because she deserves someone like that. From what I saw and observed, she is a good lady."
All of a sudden, Jackon's phone rang.
"Hello sir, we need you urgently."
"Alright. I'm on my way."
The call ended.
"I need to go now Kira, take good care of yourself. See you tomorrow." He said, as he walked towards the college garage.
