One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 92 Audrey

I stepped back from the mirror, admiring the soft curls in my hair and touching up my mascara. I had spent the last hour getting ready for my planetarium date with Edwin, and the excitement bubbling up in my stomach was hard to ignore.

We had, of course, made a promise to keep each other's identities secret from prying eyes, but that only added to the thrill. A secret date with my Alpha professor.. It was like something out of a movie. "Audrey? Are you almost ready? Tina called from the other room.

"Yeah, just finishing up," I replied, smoothing down my dress and twirling in the mirror one last time.

Tina appeared in the doorway a moment later with a knowing smirk on her face. "So, are you excited for your date with Edwin?"

I rolled my eyes, trying not to blush. Okay, so maybe I had told one person. But I had promised Tina after our argument following the fashion show that I wouldn't keep secrets anymore, and I knew she wouldn't tell anyone else.

"I'll give you the details later," I replied, because I was going to be late. Tina, grinning, nodded and stepped out of the way.

Taking one last look at my reflection, I grabbed my purse and headed out. The cool evening air nipped at my cheeks as I made my way to the planetarium, but I hardly felt it. My heart was racing so quickly that I almost felt like I might break out in a sweat despite the evening chill

As I approached, I spotted Edwin waiting outside, his face obscured by a hat and sunglasses. His stubble had grown back, and I couldn't help but smile. I definitely preferred him this way although seeing his clean-shaven face at the masquerade had been interesting.

"Hey," I said softly as I reached him.

Edwin turned, his hands tucked into his pockets. Despite his sunglasses, I could feel him eyeing me in my low rise jeans and vibrant red shirt-it was off the shoulder, so my cleavage was somewhat visible, even with my jacket on top

I blushed even deeper as his gaze swept over me. "Hello, he murmured, taking his time with the way he looked at me. "You look lovely." "Thanks" I replied, dipping my head. "You clean up pretty well yourself

"Shall we go in?" he asked, offering me his arm.

I nodded, linking my arm with his. As we entered, a docent greeted us with a warm smile at the front desk. We showed him our raffle tickets and he led us to a private theater, where a picnic blanket had been laid out, surrounded by an array of food and drinks. The dome above us was dark, ready for the star show to begin.

"Enjoy your evening the docent said, leaving us alone.

Edwin reached for my jacket. "May I?" he asked.

I nodded and turned so he could slip off my jacket, feeling a shiver run down my spine as his fingers brushed against my bare skin. We settled onto the blanket, and it was only then that I realized how small it really was-small enough so that our shoulders touched when we sat

Try myself, I leaned forward and peered at the array of food: a boule of champagne, a cheese board, and fresh
