My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 41

Lila’s POV

Everything happened so fast; my heart was racing at lightning speed as Enzo lifted me onto the sink. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around him; mainly to keep myself from falling off the sink, but also because it just felt right.

I felt him between my legs, pressing himself against me and growing through his pants. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and felt his lips closing in around mine.

I closed my eyes as he kissed me.

His lips were so soft and inviting; everything about him was just so good. The way he smelled, the way he felt, the way my heart raced whenever I was around him, and I can’t forget about the sweet bliss Val felt.

I could feel her running laps in my mind’s eye and howling in delight as Enzo continued the embrace.

He bit onto my bottom lip and brought it into his mouth hungrily. At this moment, he wanted me as much as I wanted him.

Nothing was in my mind; I didn’t think about Connie or what she had said previously, and I wasn’t thinking about how Enzo had treated me.

Is this what it truly feels like to have a mate?

His hands ran down my back, sending goosebumps across my flesh as he played with the zipper on my dress. He wanted to take my dress off and I wanted to let him.

Just as I heard the zipper being sent down my back, the door of the bathroom swung open, and I heard a loud gasp!

Enzo jumped away from me like I was infected, and I found myself vulnerable on the sink, about to fall. Thankfully, he realized quickly what he had done and caught me before I completely fell to the ground.

“Lila?!” I heard a familiar voice as the door slammed shut and latched.

I turned to see Brianna standing before us with wide and alarmed eyes.

“Oh, my goddess!” She breathed, staring between Enzo and me.

“Bri…” I said, trying to keep the nervousness out of my voice. I struggled to get my zipper back up, something she had also noticed. She glanced down and I realized that Enzo’s manhood was very much still excited and still visible through his dress pants.

He turned away from her and she broke her eyes from him to look at me.

“I can explain,” I tried to say; before I had the chance of saying anything, she turned away from me.

I saw a flash of hurt on her face before she fully turned her body from me and that broke my heart more than anything.

“I need to go,” she muttered.

I went to say something to her, but she had already run from the bathroom.

I was breathing heavily; the shame was lying thick, and I couldn’t even form the proper words. I looked up at Enzo with sad eyes and he met my gaze.

“You should go after your friend,” he muttered.

He seemed casual and back to his normal self; I will never understand how he can do that so easily. He cleared his throat and without saying another word, he was also leaving the bathroom.

I waited a couple of minutes before I left the bathroom too. Thankfully, nobody seemed to notice my absence. Everybody was still cooing and gawking at the paintings. Cassidy-Ann was still talking to the same people she was before, and my father was talking to some of the other Alphas. Enzo was heading in their direction to join in on the conversation.

I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and went outside. I knew Brianna would be out there, probably waiting for her cab home.

I found her standing at the curb with her hands folded across her bare arms. I knew she was crying without even looking at her face based on the sniffling and the small whimpering that I could hear as I approached.

“Bri…” I said in a low and calm tone, standing beside her I stared at her saddened side profile. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Whom you get with is not my business…” she muttered. “But I thought that as your best friend, you would tell me these things…”

“I know… “I breathed. “It just kind of happened and—”

“With your professor out of all people?” Bri said, shooting her tear-filled eyes at me. “And an Alpha? Since when is that your thing, Lila?”

“It’s not my ‘thing’,” I muttered, shaking my head at the thought. “I can’t control whom I’m mated with. Believe me… I’ve tried.”

Her eyes widened and she took a step back in shock.

“Mate? “ She gasped. “Alpha Enzo is your mate?”

She said that a little too loudly, so I shushed her and covered her mouth with my hands.

“Nobody knows, Bri. You can’t tell anybody,” I pleaded.
