Chapter 561 Anal Sex Passion: Ep35
- He was all doubtful and shaking his head and frowning at me, and God, Nick, that made me so fucking mad again... So I yelled at the dean too, and I threatened to put the whole thing online and call him out on social media and create a big scandal and stuff like that, and that kinda hit him pretty hard, so he changed his attitude and got more diplomatic but he said that an ethical committee will have to review the case anyways and they'll go over our statements and reach a decision but in the meantime I'm suspended, and they'll even consider taking 'further disciplinary measures' and all that kind of stuff... Fuck, Nick... It's bad, it's really bad... They even talked about expelling me, and all the time we were there in the dean's office and everyone was kinda trying to dismiss my version, Toby was standing there smirking, fucking smirking all the time, seriously, he had this little evil smile, like the weaselly piece of shit he is, and I so wanted to strangle him, you have no idea, but then I felt so stupid for even putting up with him for so long and letting things get this bad... I don't know how I got through it but as soon as I was out of that office I just ran away and got into my car and drove off and... And..." Tessa stumbled on her words, her verbal storm abating somehow as she shrugged and concluded: "And that's how I got here, pretty much."
- For a long moment, Nick remained silent, his intense gaze fixed on Tessa's lustrous eyes as he processed the avalanche of information she had just unloaded on him. Taking a long steadying breath, he relented his hold on her with one arm for a moment, so that he could shut the door, and then, instinctively locking his arms more tightly around her petite curvy form, he said: "So, Toby hit you."
- Despite the apparent calm in his voice, which could have easily fooled anyone else, Tessa knew Nick too well not to perceive the hot seething rage hiding right below the surface of that statement. Peaceful and quiet and sweetly nerdy as he was, Tessa knew Nick to also be fearlessly protective of the people he loved and, when the situation required it, shockingly unafraid even in the face of evident danger. Sure that he wouldn't think twice about getting in his car, driving to Toby and giving him the ass-kicking he deserved, Tessa was suddenly filled with anxiety at the thought that, by revealing Toby's behavior and thus triggering Nick's protective instincts toward her, she was now dragging Nick down with her and forcing him to be involved in a shit storm that she had no right to inflict upon him. Feeling guilty but also deeply happy to see how promptly and willingly Nick had taken up the role of white knight for her, Tessa rapidly shook her head, sending droplets of rain spraying around from her damp hair.
