Her voice was the voice of the woman who tormented him in his dreams. The one who wouldn’t show herself to him, and yet she helped him find the most exquisite pleasure ever known to man when she spoke to him in the land of Morpheus. Damian felt the sweat building as his body tightened. This was neither the time nor the place for his mind to be enticing him like this.

Lifting his eyes, Damian scanned the room again, searching for the person who belonged to the voice. “
Leave me alone!”
He screamed in his mind.

“Is that what you really want? Me to leave you?”
The voice was taunting. Her touch moved faster, bringing his release closer.

“Yes!” he hissed, barely keeping it quiet. Who knew if the yes was to her question or her touch? Something had to stop or he was going to embarrass himself in front of his class.

“As you wish.”
Just like that, the sensation disappeared. The presence he had been aware of for the past two months…gone. And he was left feeling empty, bereft, and totally alone. Not to mention, unfulfilled and sexually frustrated.

Blinking slowly, Damian watched as Kathryn approached with her completed exam. He could feel his penis softening as she approached. Grinding his teeth, he accepted her paper in silence. She sent him an inviting smile before walking off with a noticeable swish to her hips.

Soon all the exams were finished and he was alone in his small office. Groaning, he leaned back in his chair and laced his fingers behind his head. Still a bit lost without that feeling he’d had, Damian wasn’t sure what to do. Go to the doctor? Let them tell him he was loony?

“I just don’t get it. Maybe it is because of all my extra research into the mythology that my mind has made something up.” He tried to logically go through what could be occurring to him. “Although, that doesn’t explain the statue in my place.”

A knock on the door startled him. “Come,” he announced as he sat back up in his chair.

It was another professor in the history department, Professor Angela Ryder. She dealt with Greek history.

“Afternoon, Professor Ryder. What can I do for you?”

“Damian,” she said with an easy smile as she closed the door behind her. “I was wondering if you could help me with some research. It branches into Egypt and I would love to get your expertise.” Her rich green gaze moved languidly over his body.

“Of course,” he said immediately, observing the woman before him. She was close to six feet in her heels. Blonde hair and a body many would kill for. Then there were her eyes—they told of her intelligence and yet smacked of untold passion. “I would love to help.”

“Great.” She sat across from him. “We could meet for dinner and I could give you the overlay of what I am looking for, if that works for you.”

“Tonight?”

“Oh, yes,” she cooed. “Tonight would be perfect.”

“Great. Tell me where to meet you and at what time,” Damian responded, recognising the lust in her stare. This could just be what he needed to rid himself of his mind’s tricks. A real person, not a figment of his imagination.
