338 Sabrina visits Ashton at work

Based on Ashton's schedule he shared with Sabrina, she knows that his lecture is over and that he is free after that until 2 PM. That is plenty of time for lunch.

Sabrina reached the open door of the classroom and stopped at the sight of Ashton who was standing in front of the teacher's desk and packing his things. His slight frown told her that he is thinking about something. Probably something related to the lecture he just finished.

She moved to the side so that she can enjoy his side-view while making space for the remaining few students to get out of the classroom.

"TA Grant…", a soft female voice called from the classroom and Ashton lifted his gaze.

Sabrina craned her neck and saw a young lady, obviously a student, approaching Ashton.

"Miss Cane…", Ashton acknowledged her with a small nod.

Her face lit up. "You remember my name."

"I remember the names of all my students, Miss Cane. How can I help you?"

Miss Cane walked closer and stopped on the opposite side of Ashton's desk. "I was wondering if you provide tutoring lessons."

Ashton confirmed. "I'm available for consultations twice a week. The hours are on the website, and you can book a timeslot there."

Miss Cane pouted and leaned closer, over the desk. "But those are only for the duration of fifteen minutes, and they are in your office."

Ashton nodded. "If you come prepared with questions, fifteen minutes is enough. This is how I make sure that every student who needs explanations in addition to what we cover in class has the opportunity to reach me. If we don't finish, you can book another slot, but I hope that you will not allow your questions to pile up because you will risk falling behind in class." Ashton thought that he said everything, and he resumed packing his bag.

Miss Cane was not willing to give up easily. "TA Grant, I was hoping for something longer and more… private."

"He is not available.", Sabrina said grumpily while walking into the classroom. She wanted to wait for Ashton to come out, but this is not acceptable. That girl was obviously flirting with him.

"Rina, why are you here?", Ashton asked with a smile on his face. A second later, he realized that Sabrina is angry.

"Am I not welcome?", Sabrina asked dryly.

"That is not what I said. You are always welcome. I didn't expect you, that's all."

Sabrina stopped advancing when she was two steps away from Ashton. "Yeah. I'm sure that if you expected me, you would not allow your students to hit on you."

At this point, Ashton realized that he is in trouble. "Miss Cane was not hitting on me."

"That… that…", Miss Cane stuttered.

She wanted to say that her grades are just fine and that there is no need for her to seduce anyone, but if she says that, how will she explain her insistence to get tutoring from Ashton? That will be admitting that she likes him. Well, TA Grant is handsome and that is why she wanted to get close to him, but no matter how brave she is, there is no way she will admit to it in front of Sabrina or Ashton. She decided to stay silent.

"That, what?" Sabrina barked. "You want consultations, he told you how you can get them. Now scram. TA Grant is about to have lunch with his pregnant wife, and you are taking away our time."

Miss Cane lowered her head and moved toward the exit. Her steps halted when she heard Sabrina talk again.

"Don't make me catch you around my husband again, or everyone at the university will find out that you are a homewrecker."

Sabrina huffed when she saw the girl dash out.

Ashton tried pacifying Sabrina. "Rina… don't you think you were harsh? She wanted help with the lessons, and even if she has a crush on me, it will never go beyond that."

Sabrina shook her head. "I can't believe that this morning I had a talk with girls about guys being lax when seductresses are around them, and I defended your kind by saying that you are smarter than what they are assuming."

Ashton was not sure how to respond. "My kind? What does that mean? And I was not responding to her advances."

"She was flirty, and you didn't make it clear that you are not interested. Or are you interested? Maybe coming here was a bad idea… Was I unfortunate to bump into an isolated case of your student hitting on you, or is this something that happens often?"

In two quick steps, Ashton was in front of Sabrina and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Rina, don't let your mind create scenarios that are not there. You are my queen, and no woman compares to you."

Sabrina leaned into his embrace. "I know, Ash. But I'm fat and my hormones are raging and I'm insecure."

Ashton caressed her belly. "You are not fat. You are carrying my child. As for the hormones and insecurities…" Ashton lifted Sabrina and put her to sit on the teacher's desk. With his hips, he spread her legs and leaned above her. "Maybe I will have my way with you right here, and when you see how much I'm lusting for you, your confidence will get a boost."

Sabrina nervously glanced toward the open door of the classroom. "You are crazy."

"I am crazy, for you.", Ashton spoke into her lips and then he pecked her once, twice… his hand landed at the back of her neck and he deepened the kiss.

They inhaled each other's breaths and Sabrina fisted Ashton's shirt when through her haze she heard someone clearing his throat.

"Mr. Grant! Is this how a TA behaves?!", a deep male voice reached Ashton and Sabrina.

They both turned toward the door and saw a man walking toward them in hurried steps.

"Professor Lewis…", Ashton scrambled to answer. "The students left, and this is my wife, Sabrina."

"Oh…", the old man was not sure how to respond. His gaze fell on Sabrina's belly and then he looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, I assumed… Nice to meet you."

Sabrina scooted off the table and shook the man's hand. "Hello, Professor Lewis, I am Sabrina Anderson."

Professor Lewis cleared his throat and spoke to Ashton in a calmer voice. "Mr. Grant, this is an educational institution and as a staff member, it's expected that you lead by example. Please keep your physical displays of affection to the areas where students and staff can't see you."

"Of course, Professor Lewis. It will not happen again.", Ashton said with a small smirk at the corner of his lips that betrayed how Ashton is not sorry at all.

Professor Lewis left swiftly. Earlier, he stopped by Ashton's office and since Ashton was not there, he came to the classroom but when he saw the steamy make-out scene, he forgot what he wanted, and he left.

Sabrina giggled. "More than once I dreamed of making out with a hot professor after class. But being caught was not part of that fantasy."

Ashton's eyebrow arched. "Only making out? You know… in my office, I can lock the door and we will not be disturbed. I have a desk similar to this one, and a whiteboard. I can ask you to solve some equations and for every wrong answer I will deliver strict punishments that would go beyond extra homework."

Sabrina inhaled sharply and slapped his butt. "Let's have lunch. I need to feed your child."

"Your mouth says no, but your flustered expression tells me that you are thinking about it, Mrs. Grant…", Ashton said in a singing voice while leading the way out.

Sabrina didn't respond. Well, she was thinking about it.
