Excerpt:

"You get off me," Taaliyah said angrily, trying to take his hands off her hips. She could never forgive him after all these years.
"I won't," Derek had that alluring mischievous smile on his face enough to cause chaos in a woman's heart.
"It's school, Its shameful to get caught, am a teacher here," she explained to him. He began to run his hands down her neck and unbuttoned her shirt. "Derek stop," 
"I don't care, I will show you today, what did you call me, say it," he said and inserted his hands into her shirt, around her hips pulling her closer. It was intimidating to her. She turned her head away, but he touched her cheek and made her look into his eyes. He felt her heart pounding loud against his as he moved closer and brushed his lips on her. 
"Derek no," she whispered but it did not stop him, standing behind the half shut door in the 8th grade classroom after school hours. Taaliyah could hear people outside, still walking. But she got lost, in his arms, as he deepened his kiss. She held on to his shirt tight.
