Whoever said the truth will set you free is lying. The truth won’t set us free. It will destroy us. She’s the girl I should avoid. The girl who’s too much trouble. The girl with a past. The girl people whisper about behind her back. I can’t stop thinking about her. Wanting her. But I’m a professor and she’s a student. So I stay away. For two years I’ve watched her. But now she has set her sights on my brother. I can’t allow that. I’ll do anything to keep her away from him. Even if that means taking his place. If anyone will end up in her bed, it will be me. I just hope it won’t destroy us both. Trigger warning. Please do not read past this point if you do not wish to see the trigger information. . . . . . . . . . .
