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 tickled Terry most of all was, when the comments for his Argumentation paper came back, they weren’t the perfunctory and curt “Well put” or “Could be phrased better.” It was clear that Kyle had read the paper carefully and he remarked on how much effort and research Terry had put into his topic—“The Aggression of Peaceful Protests: Where is the Line Between Effective and Counterintuitive?”—as well as the number of sources Terry had used to explore civil uprisings of the past century. While Terry was relieved that three days in the campus library hadn’t been wasted, what delighted him the most was Kyle’s final comment.


“Exactly what I would expect from my top student. I look forward to seeing how you’ll impress me next.” Terry wouldn’t have been too surprised to see a winking emoji at the end of that sentence.
