That was literally asinglewave, but whatever. It seemed to have serve its purpose anyway, with both girls visibly relaxing and even finding the confidence to approach her, albeit cautiously, with their eyes darting warily to the professor once in a while.

“Has he been with you long?” Girl #1 asked.

“Yup.” Kassia made a mental note to herself:list down everything you’ve said about “Cockerel” so you can keep your story straight.

“Can I touch it?” Girl #2 asked hopefully.

Nope,Kassia thought immediately. Just the idea of having another girl touch her wolf made her queasy,but she also knew she had no choice. She had to prove that her wolf was indeed as friendly as she claimed.

Forcing a smile, she said, “Of course.”

And so Girl #2 gingerly reached out a hand towards the professor—-

A strangled gasp escaped Kassia when the professor actually licked the other girl’s hand.

Girl #2 giggled.

“Hey, I want to play with him, too,” Girl #1 exclaimed and before Kassia could say anything, she had also reached down to stroke the wolf’s head. Turning to her, the wolf licked her palm as well, which earned him another coquettish giggle.

Flirts,Kassia thought sourly, and she didn’t just mean the girls.

Out loud, she said, “Feel free to come visit him anytime.”Not.“But now, I have to take him back to my room. He tends to start biting off fingers when he’s feeling sleepy, like he is now.” Kassia hid a smile as both girls yanked their hands away at her words.

As they walked towards her room, she waited until the girls were out of earshot before hissing towards the professor, “You’re such aflirt.”

Again, the professor only responded with a blink, as if asking,‘Is it my fault girls are easily attracted to me?’

If she could growl like he did, she would have. Kassia wasthatannoyed with him. “You could have been less friendly,” she grumbled, “and you know it!” Unlocking her door, she stomped inside, jealousy more than enough to rouse her temperanderase her common sense. She knew she was being silly, hating the way girls flocked to him in his Lyccan form, but she didn’t give a crap. The professor was still the professor, whichever form he was in, and that meant he washers.

Dumping her bag on her study table, she said between clenched teeth, “And don’t think I didn’t notice you weren’t just friendly. No, you weresuperfriendly—-” Whirling around, she snarled, “So, so friendly you even licked—-” She stopped speaking when she realized that she was no longer talking to a wolf.

Instead, the professor in his human form stood in front of her, and he was naked.

Uh. Wow. Yum.

“Surprise,” the professor said with a smirk, and then he pounced on Kassia without warning, his speed beyond what her human eyes were capable of detecting.

Chapter Five

One moment they had the bed between them, the next moment she wasonthe bed, and the professor was on top of her.

Kassia once again realized she was in shock. “Oh. My. God.” Would she ever get used to how Lyccans like the professor were so much more powerful – so much moreeverything –than humans?

The professor, whose fingers had been busily unzipping her dress, suddenly stilled, and his green gaze lifted to meet hers. “Did I scare you?” His voice was taut, and Kassia realized he had sensed her apprehension.

Shaking her head, she admitted the truth in an awkward mumble. “I’m not yet used to you being so...” She tried to think of the right word to describe the professor’s Lyccan abilities. “Incredible.”

The professor’s expression didn’t eased. “In a bad way?”

She shook her head again, her voice emphatic as she said, “In a good way.” Only when the darkness from the professor’s eyes faded did Kassia realize how much her answer seemed to have meant to him. She started to ask why, but the professor had gone back to undressing her then, and in the next second, she found herself as naked as he was.

Kassia gulped, all questions in her mind forgotten. Right now, all she could think about was that they were alone again, in bed,naked.

NAKED.

Wowza.

Desire struck her body like a bolt of lightning, and she jerked. Above her, the professor’s lips twitched, and she had a feeling he had read her mind completely. Her cheeks burned at the thought, and a moment later, the professor’s lips had curved in a full-fledged grin.
