One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Here. Edwin pressed a couple of plush towels and a bundle of clothes-a white t-shirt and a pair of boxers-into my hands. "The clothes will be huge on you, but it's better than nothing."

"Thank you." I took the bundle, wondering if I should have gone back to my dorm just to get an overnight bag. But I had been so desperate to be alone with Edwin, surrounded by his warmth and his scent, that I had refused when he'd asked.

And a part of me, too, didn't feel in the mood to run into any of my friends. It was late enough for them to probably already be sleeping, but...

I would talk to them on Tuesday, once we returned to our classes I would tell them what had happened this weekend then. For now, for this blissful three-day weekend... I just wanted my world to be filled with my mate and this apartment and nothing else.

I thanked him, my voice still a bit **se, and headed to the bathroom.

I turned on the hot water, then set the bundle down and began to unzip my dress. But I stopped when I saw movement in the corner of my eyes, and turned to see Edwin lingering in the doorway. His eyes scanned my body unabashedly.

"Sorry," he quickly said, realizing he was hovering. "I'll give you some space,"

"Wait

He paused, half-turned in the doorway. His Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as I turned to reveal my back to him. “Unzip" me?"

Slowly, he approached. His fingers gently brushed my spine as he tugged the zipper down to the small of my back, then lingered there, his other hand gently gripping my hip.

"Mate, my wolf growled. "Mate. I want him."

My cheeks flushed and I turned to face him. I held my arms up, a silent invitation, and he gently lifted the dress over my

head.

His breath caught as his eyes wandered my body, my dress clutched in his hands. I c**ked my head, but before I could ask what was wrong, he suddenly turned on his heel. "I'll let you shower." And just like that, he was gone. I sighed and shook my head at the closed door. It was so unlike my Edwin to be so... basht....\.

But as I turned toward the mirror, I finally understood why.

Something was... different in my appearance. My skin seemed more pristine, almost glowing with an inner light. Llooked taller, my waist longer and more slender, my legs slim yet muscular like a dancer's, even though I hadn't worked out much since high school.

I unhooked and slipped off my bra, then my panties-and, just like Edwin's, my breath caught.

Even my breasts and hips seemed slightly fuller, more... womanly.
