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. He’s willing to wait to pick up where he and Kyle left off.<br><br>But “Professor Weiman” is adamant about forgetting Terry exists, going as far as ignoring him during class.<br><br>Terry knows he has what it takes to be a top student. However, the more he tries to get back in Kyle’s good graces, the more Kyle pushes him away. 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

What did come out of his mouth was a flustered, “G’day,” which sounded even more Australian because Terry had been trying to pronounce “Goodbye” and “Could I talk to you” at the same time but stopped short when he noticed how much he had flubbed it.


Kyle responded with a succinct, “Have a good day, Saliski.”


The formality took Terry off guard. None of his other teachers called him by his last name. Not even his boss at work called him by his last name. No one Terry knew at all called him by his last name. No one, except Kyle, apparently. Then again, Terry was used to Kyle calling him “hot stuff” or “Adonis” when they sexted. He sighed. Of course Kyle wasn’t going to refer to him as “Adonis” in class, but this was like being shoved out of a warm cabin into a dark and snowy forest with the door locked behind him.


“You, too, Professor Weiman,” Terry muttered. Even quieter, he added his own nickname for Kyle. “…you silver stud.”
