I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 254

Ella’s POV

I curled up in bed, keeping my head down, and tried to keep the fear I felt from consuming me. If Jazzy really did conjure darkness and was responsible for everyone becoming powerless, that meant we were in so much danger.

It was still unclear as to what she wanted though and how she escaped without anyone noticing. Colton was questioning Xander and trying to get that information. They had to have been working together. It was because of Xander that Val has been in hibernation; it was the wolfbane he poisoned me with that caused her to fall asleep for as long as she has.

Xander was the reason for a lot of the things that have happened to me and I don’t understand why. What had I done to make him do these things to me?

I felt tears stinging the back of my eyes.

Was I the reason everyone at the school became powerless? Was I main the target of that attack?

I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from sobbing at the very thought. My heart was aching knowing that I could be the cause for all of this.

I buried my face in my lap and let out a small sob, just as the bedroom door swung open. Colton stood before me with a worried frown.

He didn’t say anything, he just stared at me for a moment, and I stared back through my tear-filled eyes.

He sighed and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him as he came closer to me. He sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my shivering body.

“I’m sorry our date night got messed up,” he murmured against me as he kissed the top of my head. “It wasn’t my intention.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle through my tears.

“I think we have bigger things to worry about,” I said, peering up at him.

He bent down and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch and loving the feeling of his lips against me.

“You are my main concern,” he whispered. “I will not worry about things like this. You deserved a lot more today.”

“Our date was perfect; even if it was cut short,” I told him fondly.

“We were supposed to go to the beach and watch the stars together,” he said, and even though I wasn’t looking at him, I knew he was pouting adorably.

I laughed as I buried my face in his chest.

“It’s cold out,” I reminded him.

“We weren’t going swimming,” he said, and I heard the huskiness in his tone, making my cheeks grow warm.

I peered up at him through my wet lashes and I couldn’t help the small smile that appeared on my lips.

“We were only going to watch the stars?” I asked, hearing the huskiness in my own tone.

Val would have been proud that I was flirting with our mate; goddess, I missed her so much.

I saw the desires twinkling in his eyes.

“Amongst other things,” he said with a smirk.

He leaned closer to me and brushed his lips against mine. With all that has happened today, I almost forgot how amazing he tasted. He was sweet and made my lips tingle with joy and love. He reached his up to the nape of my neck and caressed it gently, leaving electric chills to course through my body.

I breathed in his every scent as he cupped the back of my head with his strong hands, keeping me in place. He soon broke the kiss from my lips and trailed them down the side of my face and down my neck until he reached the sweet spot that he claimed and marked as his own.

I giggled as he nibbled and sucked on his mark. My heart was pounding so quickly against my chest that I thought it was going to escape from my body.
