nervous or worse yet give away how attracted she was to him. "Mr. Moir. Good morning."
He cringed slightly, then smiled. "Please. Mr. Moir isn't necessary. Tony is fine."
"Tony it is then." Her eyes caught his, but not before she noticed him take a quick up-and-down look at her. Admittedly she had done the same to him. She hoped she hadn't been quite as obvious about it as he was.
He nodded toward his office. "We have a few minutes before I start the first class. Do you have a minute?"
"Of course."
She followed him into his office and proceeded to take a seat in front of his desk, her heart thumping rapidly in her chest. He closed the door behind them and sat in a chair opposite of her. He leaned back in his chair, fingers interlaced behind his head; the brown polo shirt he was wearing strained against the muscles of his broad chest and biceps.
Mind-blowing sex , Vicki's voice echoed in the back of Faith's mind. Looking at him, at that moment, she had no doubt. She felt a stirring inside her, a heat building between her legs. She shifted uneasily on the chair, giving him an uncomfortable smile.
He's the teacher, the instructor. Off limits . Gotta remember that . Remember that and it'll be fine, she commanded herself. But the urge, the desire, to walk around his desk and straddle his lap was insistent. Almost undeniable. Almost .
"I wanted to talk to you privately for a few minutes."
Faith nodded.
Tony leaned forward and braced his elbows on his knees. He watched her keenly for a moment. "The thing is that you're the first female I've taught. So I want you to feel comfortable coming to me for anything, whether it be an issue with the guys in class, or if you feel you need extra assistance learning the basics."
"Thank you." The same electricity that she felt with him the previous day was filling the air of the small office, making her heart beat faster and breath to catch in her throat.
There was an uneasy silence as they watched each other, neither one knowing what to say next, but neither willing to leave the other quite yet.
Best sex I've ever had , Vicki's words kept replaying themselves in her head as if on a sound loop. Shut up Vicki! she silently screamed at the voice – it didn’t help.
The sound of numerous voices outside the office door broke her from her trance. It was best to leave now before she did or said something stupid. She motioned to her watch. "I'll be seeing you in class. Don't want to be late."
She gave him a shy smile, which he returned as he snatched up a book and clipboard from the edge of his desk.
"Just so happens... That’s where I need to be as well." He strode past her, reached out and opened the door, then moved aside so she could exit first.
Walking by him, her shoulder brushed across his chest. She paused in mid-stride, inhaling sharply before continuing on past him. Tony was close at her heels, closing the door behind them. When she and Tony arrived at the class, they were exactly on time. All the other students were already seated and waiting. The chatter lulled down to a hush when they noticed Faith followed by Tony walk through the door.
This time, however, she had a feeling it wasn't the fact that a female was entering the class that brought the conversations to a screeching halt, but the fact she arrived with Tony. A part of her told herself that she was being paranoid, but she didn't think so.
Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard a low, hushed voice from the back taunt, "Teacher’s pet already."
Again she reminded herself that giving in to whatever it was that was already developing between them was not an option, ignoring the evident chemistry was the best decision. She looked over at Tony, who was beginning to call attendance. He didn't appear to have heard. If he did, he was doing a great job at covering. Either way she was grateful for that.
