Chapter 1
Sebastian
New town, new start, new… Holy shit, who is that? I shake my head and try to corral my racing thoughts as the stunning redhead walks in and sits in the third row. When she turns and smiles at some asshole a couple of seats away from her, the urge to fly off this stage and grab the little fucker zips through me. In a few seconds, I’m supposed to get up in front of all my new coworkers and introduce myself before explaining my expectations for the coming school year. Speaking of coming. There’s a big problem—the huge-ass erection straining the front of my dress slacks. If I don’t get control of myself soon, actually immediately, the entire faculty is going to know the effect one tiny, gorgeous redhead has on me, and that damn well isn’t professional.
I close my eyes and try to ignore her while willing my body to listen. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I realize this school year is going to be the term from hell. My cross-country move to “find myself” has produced unintended results, and I’m undecided about how to feel about it. When the superintendent calls my name, I thank God my unruly cock is back under control and paste a fake smile on my face while walking across the stage. As I look out over all the teachers’ and other employees’ faces, I carefully avoid the spectacular redhead. No use in tempting fate at this point.
“Hello, I’m Sebastian Mackenzie…” I begin.
An hour later, everyone has gathered in the large cafeteria for the welcome reception. I’m betting you could fit three or four of Sweetbriar High’s cafeteria in this one room. When I moved from my small hometown in Colorado to this bigger Florida town, I figured things would be different, but I had no idea just how different. My thoughts are suddenly disrupted.
“Mr. Mackenzie, I’d like you to meet a few of our wonderful teachers.”
Joel Roberts, the district superintendent and king asshole, is behind me, and I close my eyes briefly before turning and smiling. My heart rate races out of control when I see her standing to the right of the tall, skinny man. “Sebastian…” He’s speaking to me, but I find myself zeroed in on her. The entire room disappears around us as I stare into her emerald green eyes. Joel must have introduced us because she lifts her tiny hand toward me, and I watch as her pupils dilate when our palms touch. I watch the pulse on the side of her neck race away, so I know she’s feeling some of the intense desire that’s raging through me right this second. It takes all of my control to keep my cock from tearing through the front of my pants while our hands are joined. Joel clears his throat, and I blink several times, trying to bring myself under control.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a long day. I didn’t catch your name.” Joel frowns while one of the men smirks. I’m sure they think I’m a moron, but I don’t give a shit. This tiny redhead just stole my heart, and I don’t even know her fucking name.
“Sadie Nicholson. I teach Freshman Algebra and Geometry.” When she smiles up at me, I barely resist the urge to throw her little ass over my shoulder and race for the door. At that moment, I wonder if this is the same feeling that hit each of my brothers when they found their wives. Holy shit. Now I realize what the hell happened to them, and I’m not too sure I like it.
Joel interrupts my thoughts. “Sebastian, this is Martin Lawson and Gloria Stevens. They both work in the Math Department with Sadie.” He glances down at our hands and frowns as I continue to hold Sadie’s soft hand, so I reluctantly let go.
Somehow, I make it through the introductions while she’s standing so close to me. I fight the urge to lean over and sniff the back of her neck to get more of her delicate scent. After the group of teachers walks away, Joel turns to me. “Let me give you a friendly warning.” The little asshole doesn’t do friendly, so I’m not expecting much. His stern look also tells a different story. “I saw the way you reacted to Ms. Nicholson. She may be one gorgeous little lady, but as far as you’re concerned, she’s Ms. Off Limits.” My boss walks off, and I tell myself he’s right, but deep down, I realize how hard it will be to ignore what I’m feeling for the gorgeous math teacher.
I find myself watching her for the rest of the evening. While more people come up to meet me, she’s the one person always on my mind. When the night finally comes to an end, I breathe a sigh of relief. Since we have two weeks until school begins, I hope I can recover from whatever ailment is causing this crazy reaction to the stunning redhead. This move was supposed to lead to me finding myself, and instead, I’ve discovered my greatest temptation.
Chapter 2
Sebastian
Over the last two weeks of summer, I prepare for the upcoming school year. In an effort to keep my mind free of Ms. Sadie Nicholson, I work my ass off trying to get my new house organized. I ended up buying a much bigger house than I intended, but one look at the lush backyard with a trail leading to the beach, and I was sold. The older ranch house was built in the seventies and needed some updates, but the price was perfect, and the location is spectacular. I’ve decided to start small projects when time permits. The first project I choose is painting and updating the lemon-yellow kitchen. I arranged for a crew to come in and change the counters and cabinets next week, but decide to paint the walls myself to work thoughts of Ms. Sadie Nicholson from my mind. By the end of the week, I have a beautiful new kitchen and a sore body, but she’s still on my mind every moment of the day. Adding daily runs along the beach and frequent swims in the ocean do little to help with the desire coursing through my body for the gorgeous redhead who’s off-limits to me. Even though I fall into bed exhausted each night, I have a hard time falling asleep, and when I finally do, my dreams are filled with her. Either she’s riding my cock until I shout her name while coming in her tight pussy or sometimes, I find myself staring into her deep green eyes as her pillowy lips wrap around my dick and suck. Regardless, I wake up unfulfilled and aching with a rock-hard cock and frustration eating at my insides. This fucking school year stretches ahead of me like a long exercise in surviving daily torture. I haven’t laid eyes on her in nearly two weeks, yet in my mind, I can still picture every delicious inch of her body.
With only a few days until the first day of school, I’m running out of time, and my obsession with Sadie is growing every day. Hoping as a last resort that extra physical exertion will drive her from my mind, I throw on my running shoes and take off down the path running alongside the beach. My feet pound on the gravel and sand, and I’m able to concentrate on something other than her perfect heart-shaped face and smiling green eyes. The salty breeze helps clear my thoughts as I listen to my music blasting through my earphones while ignoring all the other people on the beach. I’m coming to the far end of the trail when I see a redheaded woman walking along the trail’s edge.
After telling myself there are hundreds of redheads in the world, probably even in this city, I attempt to turn away, but her curvy body calls to me. As my eyes roam from the top of her silky red hair down past her luscious curves, which are barely contained in a tiny blue bikini, I realize it is Sadie. Instantly, I’m filled with both rage and lust. The thin silky jogging shorts I’m wearing are no match for my iron-hard erection. There’s no way I can control myself when I call, “Sadie.”
