One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 227

I wasn’t alone for long before Edwin returned to the courtyard, his arms laden with plates full of fragrant hors d’oeuvres and glasses of bubbly champagne… and then some.

“Are those… shot glasses?” I asked with an amused chuckle as he set the horde of food and drinks down on the stone bench beside me.

My mate smirked and held one of the tiny glasses filled with clear liquid out to me. “I figured you might want a little liquid courage,” he said.

I shook my head, but couldn’t help but laugh as I took the glass. We clinked them together and downed the shots in one go -vodka, I quickly realized as it burned a hot path down my throat. I grimaced and shuddered as I swallowed, scrunching my eyes shut.

“I hate vodka.” I groaned, resisting the urge to gag.

“You’re not supposed to like it.” Edwin grinned as he grabbed another and poured it down the hatch, somehow keeping a relatively straight face as he did. “It’s just supposed to get you drunk.”

Sure enough, my head was already beginning to feel a bit fuzzy by the time I took my second shot. “You could have warned me you were only bringing me here to get me drunk, Professor Brooks,” I teased as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

My words seemed to stoke the embers in my mate’s chest, and he tugged me onto his lap as he took his seat on the bench. “All so I can take advantage of you,” he quipped, brushing the hair away from my neck to nip at the exposed skin.

The sensation made me shiver pleasantly, momentarily forgetting about my anxiety. Edwin, sensing this, nuzzled into the crook of my neck and planted a few kisses just beneath my ear, which nearly caused me to purr out loud.

But before it could go any further, Edwin reached over and picked up a puff pastry off of one of the plates, holding it up to my mouth.

“Open up…”

Obediently, I opened my mouth to accept the sweet pastry. The taste of vanilla cream exploded on my tongue as I chewed, eyes closed, and swallowed.

“Feeling better?” Edwin asked as he popped one into his mouth and then fed me another.
