My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 123 – Hot Tub

Lila's POV

I stayed quiet.

I wasn't sure what else I could do or say.

It's not like I was surprised; Cassidy-Ann was incredibly beautiful and very single. She was married at one point but divorced him a few years ago. She fought him on everything and won literally everything he had.

Not that she needed any of his stuff; she was already rich before she married. But she always said, “It served him right.”

I was still a little flustered from what Enzo was just doing a few minutes ago. I couldn't even wrap my head around it long enough to be mad at him. It was careless and childish and inappropriate.

I had never been more humiliated in my life; although it's not like anyone knew what he was doing under the table.

But still.

Cassidy-Ann’s room key remained in front of us, and Cassidy-Ann was batting her long and very fake, eyelashes in his direction.

Enzo said nothing; he just looked at the key and then back at her with an expression I couldn't even read. I wasn't sure what he was thinking, but I had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, making me want to vomit. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was the same feeling I felt when he went to talk to Connie on the phone.

Soon enough, the waiter returned with the bill.

I needed to get my mind off things before I completely lost it. My eyes instantly went to the hot tub that sat on the balcony and overlooked the ocean.

I put my new bikini on and through my hair in a messy bun before stepping outside and into the hot tub.

I instantly felt my entire body relaxing as the hot water soothed my aching muscles. I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath, and allowing the steam to clear my insides.

Silently, I prayed to the moon goddess. Asking her for some clarity when it came to Enzo and what her plan was. I was having trouble seeing anything beyond this heartbreak.

But still; as much as it hurt, I wondered what Enzo was doing.

"Are you falling asleep?” A voice said from extremely close by.

I opened my eyes immediately and was shocked to see Enzo sitting across from me, inside the hot tub.

He was shirtless with just his swim shorts.

"What are you doing here?” I gasped, sitting up. “Shouldn't you be with Cassidy-Ann?"

"Why were you pushing me with her?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at me. “You made things extremely awkward. You shouldn't have left like that.”

“I wasn't trying to make things awkward,” I said in my defense. “But she seemed like she really liked you and—"

“I think I have a say when it comes to who I want to spend my nights with.”

My face immediately grew warm, and I knew it must have been as red as a cherry.

"Of course, you do,” I said in return. “I just thought seeming she gave you her room key that—" “That I'd run off to have sex with her after I just—" He stopped speaking and met my eyes. I knew what he was going to say, and I didn't need him to continue that thought. “Do you really think that little of me?”

"..no," I said, my voice dropping to nothing more than a whisper. “I don't think little of you at all..." I added, a little flirtatiously.

His brows rose as he stared around my face. Then, he leaned in closer to me.

He was about to kiss me.

"I thought you don't date students,” I said, putting my hand on his chest.

He was only inches away from me, our noses and forehead practically touching and our breathing becoming synced.

“I don't,” he said in his husky and incredibly sexy voice.

He closed the gap between us, and our lips connected.
