I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
Enzo jumped awake to the sound of my voice. He looked confused as to where he was for a moment.
He glanced around the room before his eyes landed on me and then he sighed, leaning back in his
chair.
“How long have I been asleep?” I asked, keeping my eyes on his.
He glanced at the clock.
“A few hours,” he told me and then he looked at the window. “It’s nighttime now. You should get some
more sleep.”
“When did you get here?”
“Maybe an hour ago,” he answered. “I haven’t slept much.”
I could see his tired eyes with the dark circles and my heart clenched in my chest. Has he not been
sleeping because of me?
“You don’t need to stay here,” I told him, trying to keep my voice low. “I’ll be fine.
He stared at me for a long while without saying a word. It made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I
looked away.
“What were you doing walking around town at that late hour?” Enzo finally asked.
I glanced at him with a frown; was he seriously questioning me on this right now?
“Rachel wanted a snack from the store—”
“You know how dangerous it is out there. Especially for a Volana.”
I rose my brows at him; it sounded like he was worried about me. But that couldn’t have been right.
Enzo didn’t like Volana wolves. He found them dangerous and frightening. At least, I thought he did.
“We’ve never had an issue in Elysium,” I told him. “Many don’t bother us because of my father.”

“It was still stupid,” he muttered, folding his arms across his chest. “You could have been killed.”
“But I wasn’t,” I said in return. “You don’t need to worry about me, Professor Enzo.”
His jaw tightened as he stared around my face for a moment longer.

“You should get some more sleep,” he said, looking away from me.
I stared at his stern features for a moment longer before sighing in defeat. Maybe he was right; I should
get some more sleep. I’ll need my rest if I want to get back to campus by tomorrow evening.
We were nearing final week and I needed to be as prepared as possible for finals. This could make or
break this semester. I also needed to prepare for my big trip to Monstro with Cassidy-Ann.
A tight knot formed in my stomach at the thought of that trip. It was only a month away and I still
needed to figure out what to pack for this trip. This is the farthest and longest I’ve ever been from
home.
I hoped I was ready for such a trip.
Monstro is supposed to be beautiful, especially during the summertime. It’s a very tropical and beachy
place so I would have to get a new bathing suit. I wondered if Brianna would want to go shopping with
me.
“Stop thinking so loud…” Enzo muttered.
I looked over at him; he was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed and his arms folded across his
chest.
“You are thinking so much is distracting to my wolf and we are trying to get some sleep.”
“You can hear my thoughts?”
“No… but my wolf can feel your emotions to a point where we can practically hear them,” he said in
return.
His eyes opened and he narrowed them at me.
“So, stop,” he concluded.
I felt my face warming under the intensity of his stares.
“Sorry,” I said in return.
I had never had that feeling before; being able to feel someone’s emotions so intensely that I could
practically hear their thoughts. It must be an amazing and yet intense feeling. I wondered why he could
feel that way for me, but I couldn’t for him.
Maybe I was just broken.
“We aren’t broken. It’s because he’s a strong Alpha and he has abilities that our minds could never
comprehend,” Val chirped from inside of me.
I sighed in relief at hearing her voice. I could feel her growing stronger as the moments passed while I
was in the hospital, but I couldn’t actually hear her voice until this moment. It was nice knowing she was
with me once again.
“Oh, Val…” I breathed to her. “It’s so good to hear from you. Are you well?”
“I’m tired,” she admitted. “I think I need a little more rest. But maybe we could go for a run later. I need
to stretch my legs.”
“I would love that so much,” I agreed.
“And maybe our mate could come with us,” she suggested.
I peered over at Enzo who had his eyes closed once again; I couldn’t tell if he was sleeping or not and I
wasn’t going to ask him.
“Maybe…” I agreed, but I didn’t even believe those words.
I relaxed my body and closed my eyes; I could finally get a little bit of sleep.
…
I woke up the next morning to some talking outside the hospital room door. I noticed that Enzo was no
longer in his chair, and I heard what sounded like my father nearby in the hallway. He must have been
talking to some doctors before he entered my room.
He gave me a faint smile as he came over to my bedside.
“How are you feeling, Lila Bean?” He asked, pressing the palm of his hand to my forehead.
“Better,” I answered honestly. “Will I be able to return to school tonight?” I asked.
