One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 34 Audrey

There was a long, tense silence after I stated my two truths and a lie. Edwin blinked at me in surprise, and I felt my face heat up beneath his gaze; was that too far? It was all I could do to quickly stare down at my whiskey and wish I hadn't said those words.

Talk about inappropriate, I thought to myself. Damn this whiskey; I shouldn't have accepted it.

But then, to my surprise, Edwin let out a low, rumbling chuckle.

"The chocolate part is a lie," he said easily with a wave of his hand.

I whipped my eyes up, shock coloring my features. I had thought that he might guess that the virginity part was a lie, but... I supposed not.

"What?" he asked, casually sipping his drink. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I managed a shrug despite myself. "Nothing, I just... I thought you would have guessed that the virginity part was the

lie."

"Well? Was it?" he asked. I shook my head, and he gestured to my whiskey. "You're supposed to drink if I got it right." Sighing softly, I took a tiny sip of my whiskey; when Edwin shot me a withering look, I took a bigger gulp to satisfy him. When I was finished, I set my glass down and toyed with the end of my braid.

"Was it that obvious?" I asked quietly.

"Was what obvious?"

"When..." I pursed my lips, my face reddening even more, and quickly looked down at my lap as though that would somehow hide it. "When we... slept together."

Edwin cocked an eyebrow at me. "Are you asking if it was obvious that you were a virgin?"

I nodded, and he sighed, draining the last of his whiskey and refilling it. "Not really."
