“Ruby,” Professor Anderson murmured, the name almost a purr as she kissed your face again and again, each touch of her lips feather-light against your skin.
You were still waking, half-dreaming and warm beneath the sheets, while she seemed entirely awake, entirely amused by your reluctance to face the morning.
A soft smile tugged at your mouth. “I’m tired,” you muttered, burying your face briefly against her hair as you shifted.
Her hand landed with affectionate ease on your hip. “I’d like to go on a hike.”
You let out a small, defeated sound. “Okay, you can go.”
She gave a low chuckle, the sound rich with certainty. “You are coming with me.”
Your brow creased. “Why?”
Instead of answering right away, her hand slid slowly up your stomach beneath your shirt, warm and possessive, making you shiver despite yourself.
“I don’t like to be without you,” she said softly, as though it were the simplest truth in the world.
Then she bent her head and pressed gentle kisses to the bare skin of your stomach, each one soft and teasing.
You swatted at her weakly. “Leave my stomach alone,” you murmured, though there was no real force behind it.
She smiled against you, then rested both hands there as if staking a claim.
Leaning in close, she lowered her voice to a whisper. “You would be so adorable pregnant.”
Your eyes flew open, and you stared down at her in shock. “What?!” you cried, suddenly wide awake.
She only laughed, unbothered and wickedly pleased with herself. “Just my imagination.”
You shook your head, still stunned, and huffed out a breath. “Okay. Never happening.”
A pout ghosted over her mouth as she shifted closer, crawling over you with slow, unhurried confidence. “Never?” she asked, tilting your chin up with two fingers.
You gave her a look of pure disbelief. “No way,” you said, scrunching your nose.
She clicked her tongue, feigning disappointment. “Then what a selfless act that would be for your lover.”
Before you could answer, she kissed your cheek, and you squirmed beneath her touch, half laughing, half protesting.
Then she bent toward your neck and inhaled slowly, a pleased hum following. “You smell so sweet in the morning.”
You scoffed, shaking your head as you nudged her away, though not with any real force. Heat crept up your neck and settled across your cheeks, betraying you.
“Sometimes you’re strange,” you muttered, a nervous laugh slipping out as you tried to brush the moment aside.
She did not retreat far. Instead, she shifted onto her elbow beside you, her body angled in a way that kept her close. She hovered just enough to study you, her head tilting slightly, a soft, knowing smile playing at her lips as if she could see straight through your awkwardness.
You turned your gaze away, focusing on some indistinct point across the room. Anywhere but her eyes. The air felt heavier now, thick with anticipation you did not quite understand how to handle.
A quiet breath left her lips, slow and steady. “I love you,” she said.
The words settled over you all at once.
Your breath caught in your throat. You pressed your lips together, your brow tightening as warmth spread deeper across your face. Your heart began to pound, each beat louder than the last, echoing in your ears. Your fingers curled tightly into the blanket beneath you, gripping it as though it might steady the sudden rush of feeling.
Before you could respond, she leaned in. Her lips met yours in a soft, lingering kiss that seemed to stretch time itself. It was gentle, unhurried, and when she pulled back, you felt slightly dazed, as if the ground beneath the bed had shifted.
“Well?” she murmured, her voice low and expectant.
“W… well, what?” you stammered, your words stumbling over each other as your mind struggled to catch up.
A faint smirk curved her lips. She stayed close, close enough that you could feel the warmth of her breath. “Do you love me?” she whispered, the question brushing lightly against your mouth.
You nodded, slow and uncertain at first, then more sure. A small, breathy laugh escaped you. “Oh… of course.”
Her gaze held yours, steady and patient, as though she was waiting for more than that.
You swallowed, your throat suddenly dry. Gathering what little courage you could find, you forced yourself to meet her eyes fully this time. “I love you too,” you admitted, your voice softer now, tinged with shyness as you spoke the words aloud.
For a brief moment, neither of you moved.
Then, feeling the intensity linger too long, you shifted beneath her, trying to sit up and break the tension. The motion was clumsy, uncertain.
She caught you before you could get far.
Her hand slid to your waist, firm but not rough, guiding you back down against the bed. “Where are you going?” she asked, her tone light but edged with curiosity as she settled over you again, your wrists gently pressed above your head.
You let out an uneasy laugh, your eyes flicking up to hers. “Bathroom?” you offered, lifting a brow as if that might make it sound more convincing.
She shook her head, her expression softening again. Instead of letting you go, she drew you closer, wrapping her arms around you and pulling you into her warmth. “You can wait,” she murmured against your neck, her breath warm and steady against your skin. “Stay with me a little longer.”
You nodded, swallowing again as awareness crept in, sharp and impossible to ignore. The closeness, the weight of her against you, the way your body reacted without permission. It left you tense for a moment, unsure what to do with it.
You took a sharp inhale as her hand moved down to your lower belly. She pressed down softly, testing.
You jerked upright so fast the blankets tangled around your legs.
"Woah!" The word came out in a startled shriek as you grabbed her hand on instinct before scrambling out of bed. Heat rushed into your face. Without another explanation, you hurried toward the bathroom.
The door clicked shut behind you.
You leaned against it for a moment, chest rising and falling as you stared at the opposite wall.
What the hell was that about?
You shook your head and tried to gather yourself. A few minutes later, you washed your hands, splashed cool water across your wrists, and returned to the bedroom feeling only slightly less bewildered.
Abby was waiting exactly where you'd left her.
A soft chuckle escaped her as you climbed back beneath the blankets. She reached out immediately, brushing a loose strand of hair behind your ear.
"Sweetness," she murmured. The fondness in her voice only made your face grow warmer. "You are so sweet."
She drew in a breath and pushed herself upright. Her shoulders rolled as she stretched, muscles shifting beneath her skin before she swung her legs over the edge of the bed.
"Alright," she said. "The hike will be about six or seven miles."
You nodded automatically, though your attention drifted almost immediately.
She had started getting dressed.
Your eyes followed her without permission.
She turned halfway toward you and smirked.
"Feeling naughty today?" she asked, strolling across the room.
"What?" A laugh escaped you. "No."
You tried again. "How long is the hike?"
Professor Anderson leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to your cheek. "About six or seven miles."
A quiet giggle slipped from you.
You bit down on your lip, already fighting another laugh.
"How..." You gestured vaguely. "How long?"
Confusion flickered across her face. "Ruby, I just told you."
You shook your head, laughing harder. "Six seven." Your hands moved up and down as if demonstrating height.
Abby's expression only grew more puzzled.
"Right..." she said slowly, mimicking the motion. "Six or seven."
The moment realization hit, her eyes narrowed.
You lost the battle entirely.
"Six seven," you repeated through your laughter.
Professor Anderson stared at you for a second before a reluctant smile pulled at the corner of her mouth.
"Okay.." She said unsure of you and herself.
