At twenty-one, Ethan Caldwell is the undisputed king of UVA: Sigma Chi president, star quarterback, and golden boy with a full-ride scholarship and a future in the NFL. But one failing grade in Advanced American Literature threatens to burn it all down.
His only salvation is Dr. Elias Voss—brilliant,commanding, and openly gay. The professor offers Ethan a last-chanceindependent study: enough credit to save his scholarship, his spot on the team,and his entire future. The price? Every Thursday night from 7 p.m. untilmidnight, Ethan must report to Voss's secluded Victorian home and surrendercompletely.
Blindfolded and earplugged on the professor'sleather ottoman. Bound spread-eagle and flogged while Voss grades papers.Collared, plugged, and used as a warm, willing hole while the professor writeslectures. Slowly, methodically, Voss strips away Ethan's arrogance, hisstraight-jock facade, and his last shreds of control—replacing them with raw,aching submission.
What begins as desperate bargaining becomessomething far more dangerous. Because the more Ethan fights the pleasure andhumiliation, the more he craves the firm hand, the deep voice, and the professor's thickness that now owns his body and his mind.
By the time final grades are due, Ethan mustface the truth: he no longer wants to pass the class.
He wants to belong to the Professor.
