Only For The Professor's Pleasure

Chapter 23

EVELYN’S POV

I felt time stop, his head stayed on my thigh “Elroy” I whispered, trying to jolt him awake “El!” I yelled, shrugging harder, there was a light response.

“I’m..here” he answered with a raspy voice, trying to lift his head to look at me but he turned his face towards me

My face hovered above his, my heart racing as I feared the worst.

“Ar..are you okay?” I asked, almost dialing the emergency line when I felt his hand on my wrist, shaking his head

“Fine..I’ll just get a cab then” I continued, tapping my phone to get the nearest and fastest car.

Thankfully the quickest car came right in front of me. Lunging towards the car, I propped his body into the back seat, setting his neck on the headrest before getting in.

“Crimson dorm” I said to the driver before staring down at my phone “s**t” I mumbled under my haughty breath

It was already 9:30, the gates must already be locked up by now and it takes up to twenty minutes to get back.

Think Evelyn, think. I can’t take him to his home like this, what do I do?

“Sir, take us to..the nearest motel please” I said in a low voice

I couldn’t bring myself to say it louder than my voice could carry.

“Ma’am..I didn’t hear you, I should take you where?” He asked again, his eyes on the rear view mirror

I could tell he was searching for some sort of embarrassment but I couldn’t let that happen, besides, we’re both adults even when he’s my student, no one will know, or will they?

It didn’t matter, what matters now is El

“The nearest motel” I answered more confidently, as Elroy’s head tilted towards my shoulder. I didn’t shrug, neither did I look at him, he was weak, exhausted even, his breathing slowed and warm on my neck.

“Please drive faster” I pleaded, touching his face with the back of my palm to check his temperature.

His skin felt warm to the touch, a bad sign and his breathing only got faster.

Please El, be okay

“St..stay, stay with me” he mumbled softly “Don..don’t leave” he clutched onto my damp hoodie, his breath unsteady and haughty.

The moment we got to the motel, I quickly took him out, made the payment to the driver and hurled his arm over my shoulder, taking him in.

“Ma’am” I said the moment I walked into the lobby, Elroy clinging onto my body, his arm around me.

“What can I help you with young lady?” She asked with a southern accent, her eyes never leaving the television they stayed glued to.

“Can I get two rooms? How much does it cost?” I asked, staring at the window to see the downpour of rain, my body drenched and my legs quivering from the cold and weight of a grown man on me.

“Sorry but we have only one room left” she stated, pulling out a pack of cigarettes before turning towards my direction

"You and the fella can use the last room on the left, it’s for one fifty” she said, taking up a lighter and brimming the butt of the cigarettes with the fire.

“No..no other rooms?” I inquired, catching a glimpse of a raised brow, I retreated. “Alright” I succumbed, handing her two hundred dollar bills, awaiting my change and key.

She handed them both to me and I moved as quickly as I could, pulling him along, his body getting heavier by the minute.

When I had finally pushed the door open with the littlest strength I had in me, I plopped onto the bed, placing Elroy right beside me.

“Oh Jesus” I let out a sigh of relief as I laid beside him, his eyes closed and sweat still patched on his face.

I had gotten him out of danger, yet, it felt like the hard part of the night had only just begun. Taking off my hoodie, I pulled water from a bowl, a towel in hand and it was time to work on him as I always would after Melvin would lash out on me.

I dipped the towel in water and pressed onto his forehead “Evie....” he groaned.

“I’m right here” I whispered back, placing the towel on his forehead, praying internally that he would be alright but the more I pressed onto his forehead, the more I used the towel on him, the more he groaned in pain.

“Wh..what’s going on? What’s happening? Should I phone a doctor?” I questioned frantically, my heart racing faster, taking up my phone but he held onto my hand.

“Aphro…” he swallowed hard, his eyes barely open “Aphrodisiac” he finally let out.

An aphrodisiac? No wonder his fever is high.

“I’ll take off your clothes now..you need to get cold” I said, getting over his body and unbuttoning his shirt as quickly as my fingers could move but then I felt his hand around my waist.

Slapping off his wrist “Don’t” I warned, taking off his shirt and letting him sit upright “You need to go and take a shower” I demanded

“I will if you join me” he smirked, his eyes lingering in my chests.

I slapped him across the face “Shower, now!” I pointed to the bathroom as he turned to look at me, having a wide smile on his lip and down his bottom lip, a trail of blood.

“You..you’re bleeding” I pointed out

“Your hands are blessed” he paused, using his finger to brush his lower lip “And strong” he smiled.

“Just get in the damn shower El!” I yelled, trying to walk off when I felt his hand around my waist.

“Please..I need you, right now” he groaned softly, pulling me closer to his bare upper body, he stood up, staring down at me “I want you right now, Evie”
