Li Mei quietly pushed open the door to the library, her heart pounding in her chest. She glanced around nervously, making sure no one was around before slipping inside and locking the door behind her. She pulled out her phone and quickly sent a message to her boyfriend.
"Studying late at the library. Don't wait up."
She set up at a table in the back, pulling out her books and reviewing her notes. She heard the door open and looked up, expecting to see a librarian or a fellow student. Instead, she saw Darius, the older black student she'd had a crush on for weeks.
"What are you doing here, Darius?" she called out, trying to play it cool. "Thought you had a basketball game tonight."
Darius grinned and sauntered over, his eyes never leaving Li Mei. "Coach cancelled. Thought I'd get a head start on some homework. Imagine my surprise when I saw you here."
Li Mei couldn't help but blush at the flirtatious tone in Darius's voice. She tried to focus on her work, but found herself glancing over at Darius every few minutes. She watched as he took off his jacket, revealing his toned arms and broad shoulders. He caught her looking and winked, making Li Mei's face flame even redder.
Darius noticed Li Mei's distracted behavior and decided to have some fun. He started making a show of stretching and flexing, drawing Li Mei's attention to his muscular physique. She tried to ignore him, but found herself getting more and more worked up.
"Stop being such a show-off, Darius," she muttered under her breath.
Darius heard her comment and laughed, calling back, "Is that a complaint, Li Mei? I thought you liked watching me."
Li Mei's face flames at being caught ogling Darius. She tried to come up with a sharp retort, but all she could manage was a weak, "I do not!"
Darius just grinned wider and continued his teasing, making Li Mei even more flustered. She couldn't take it anymore. She slammed her book shut and stood up, glaring at Darius.
"Fine, I'll admit it. You're hot, okay? Happy now?"
Darius's grin turned into a full-blown smile at Li Mei's admission. He stood up and moved closer to her, saying, "I'm glad you think so, Li Mei. Because I've been thinking the same thing about you."
Li Mei's heart raced as Darius moved closer. She tried to tell herself to back away, but her feet wouldn't move. Darius reached out and gently tuck a stray lock of hair behind Li Mei's ear. She shuddered at the contact and looked up at him, her eyes wide.
Darius took advantage of Li Mei's moment of weakness and leaned in, pressing his lips to hers. Li Mei responded eagerly, wrapping her arms around his neck. She forgot all about her boyfriend and her reservations. She gave herself over to the moment, letting Darius take control.
As they deepened their kiss, Li Mei couldn't believe what was happening. She never thought she would be making out with Darius in the library. But as she felt his hands running through her hair and his tongue exploring her mouth, she knew she wouldn't have it any other way.
"I've wanted to do this for so long," Darius whispered in Li Mei's ear.
"Me too," Li Mei replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
They broke apart, both of them panting. Li Mei looked up at Darius, her eyes filled with desire.
"I want you, Darius," she said, her voice strong and direct.
Darius grinned and pulled Li Mei closer.
"I want you too, Li Mei. Let's make the most of our unexpected study session."
And with that, they continued their passionate encounter, both of them lost in the moment and each other.
