What should have been a casual fling before Terry starts the first semester of his second degree suddenly gets out of hand when he discovers Kyle, the hot older man he met at a bar, is one of his professors. Terry doesn’t want either of them to get in trouble, but he can’t forget that wild night in his car.

They’ll have to confront a dark stain on Kyle’s past -- and a new threat to Kyle’s career -- before Kyle can let Terry be more than teacher’s pet.

Top in the Class

The next day Terry had his third Argumentation class. He wasn’t trying to catch Kyle’s eye, but he was disappointed regardless when the professor didn’t even glance his way. Instead, Kyle greeted the class and went straight into the lecture.


“I’ll give you guys the benefit of the doubt today and assume you did the reading, y’know, since you had all weekend,” Kyle said. “However, ten Brownie points to anyone who can summarize it in two sentences or fewer, but no run-ons.”


Eager to prove himself, Terry put his hand up firmly. Kyle’s eyes lingered on him for less than a blink before he called on a student at the other end of the room. Terry took his hand down and crossed his arms. The student Kyle had picked had clearly skimmed the reading, but was trying to make it sound as though she had done a more thorough job. She added unnecessary details between several long uhhs. Terry fought the urge to interrupt with a more succinct and comprehensive answer.
