It had been yet another long day of classes and, as I sat on the floor hunched over a textbook and my extensive notes, I wished desperately that it could be over and done with. Sadly, however, midterms were rapidly approaching and, despite it being a Friday night, I was trapped in my dorm attempting to memorize the various effects of different hormones on bodily functions as the sun set outside, casting my room in a warm glow. At least I wasn’t stuck doing it alone. I stole a glance over at my studying partner, a raven-haired boy only a year my senior and a notoriously awful student. Dr. Killian had assigned Alexander as my study partner explicitly because of how horrid his grades were. It was expected that I pull him back from the edge so that he might finally have a chance at passing Human Biology, considering this was his third time taking the course. Unfortunately, as he lay there on my bed with his head resting on one of my opened notebooks and with his eyes closed, I couldn’t help but feel I’d been given an impossible challenge.Sighing in exasperation, I set the textbook I had been holding down in my lap, shooting my slumped-over study partner an irritated glare. Looking at Alex as he lay down with his eyes closed, completely ignoring my presence, I was taken with his beauty. He was gorgeous lying in the golden evening light which highlighted his high cheekbones ücreti elden alan escort and full lips, making it look as though his olive-toned skin was glowing. His blue jeans and untucked white button-up did wonders for his slim, toned frame which was used to the disciplines of swimming as well as running track and field for the university. I almost lost myself in staring at him before remembering why he was in my dorm in the first place. I contemplated if it would hurt too much to throw a book at him and decided he could take it. However, just as I lifted a smaller textbook covering the nervous system to do just that, one of his bright hazel eyes opened to look at me. With a cocked eyebrow and slight smirk, he opened both his eyes to look from my face to the book in my hands and back. My breath caught in my throat as his eyes met mine, but then he spoke.“I really hope you aren’t planning on continuing this studying shit.” The rasp of his tired voice broke me out of my reverie. It made me roll my eyes and let out an exasperated sigh in response. We had only been at it for maybe an hour and it wasn’t as if I’d asked to be partnered up with him for this test!“Yes actually. I do intend on continuing this ‘studying shit’ because it’s 20% of both our final grades. So sit your ücreti elden alan gaziantep escort sorry ass up and start your research on androgens and the endocrine system.” I snapped at him and it was clear he had not expected such a demanding response. The shocked look on Alexander’s face was delicious and his sitting up and actually grabbing a textbook made it all the more satisfactory.“Good boy.” He scoffed and rolled his eyes, quietly reading as I fought to hide the smirk gracing my lips. It was equal parts cute and unexpected to see how well he followed my order. I dug back into my own reading and notetaking about the vascular system, enjoying the silence.The studying had been going beautifully for nearly a whole ten minutes when I noticed that his pen had stopped moving on the notepad in front of him and his eyes were trained on me with an odd hunger and dark curiosity. What was he staring at? Did I have something on my face? In my hair maybe? Clearing my throat and sitting up straight, I turned to look at him clearly with furrowed brows.“What?”“Nothing.”“Tell me.”“Your pathetic little nerdy heart would love that huh? Want me to just sit here and pretend I’m enjoying all this hormone shit. I just had to get stuck with the university’s very own resident kiss ass.” ücreti elden alan gaziantep escort bayan His comeback was delayed but his harsh scoff added an extra bite to his words that I didn’t expect to hurt as much as it did. Something told me wounding me was his goal and he hadn’t quite appreciated my earlier sass in the way I thought he had. Attempting to hide my faintly bruised pride and putting a concerted effort into not looking as meek as his comment made me feel, I turned back to writing notes on nerve connections and tried my best to simply ignore his presence. It wasn’t another moment before his velveteen voice caught my attention.“Males are driven by testosterone in sexual endeavors and initial physical attraction and this can increase when in the presence of ovulating females.” Looking up, my eyes met his just as he had looked up from his writing pad. A small mischievous smirk played across his lips, making me blush. “Say… are you ovulating?”My eyes widened in response. I immediately felt heat rise in my cheeks as my heart began to race as the possibilities of what his question implied flooded my mind.”W-What?!”“I know you heard me nerd.” He chuckled and stood from the bed, walking over to me and, grabbing my wrist, pulling me up from the floor and into his arms. I stared up into his darkening gaze like a deer in headlights before he dipped his head down and took my lips. His sudden actions left me stunned and frozen, but I soon found myself getting lost in the feeling of his lips against mine. They were soft as silk and warm, demanding yet gentle. I felt the tension leave my body as he kissed me deeper, smirking against my lips. I felt his tongue trace along my lower lip, asking for entrance, which was granted and immediately rewarded with a low growl which reverberated in his chest.
