Episode 10

He promptly reciprocates the kiss and soon pins her against the wall, "You're playing with fire."

Thessaly laughs and runs her hand down to the man's trousers, amused by his predicament, "But you liked it, didn't you?"

He tightens his grip on her hand over his, and then unzips his pants, making her task easier.

He enjoys Thessaly's movements and promptly slides down the strap of her dress, admiring her firm and tingling breast. He moves his hand between her legs, feeling her dampness, and smiles wickedly.

Before the man can even reach his peak, they hear someone approaching, and Thessaly pulls away quickly, adjusting her dress strap, while the man composes himself.

Only then does Can realize the gravity of their actions, shaking his head in relief when he sees Ilker.

Ilker, "Can... Mr. Hazal is looking for you."

Can, "I'll be right there."

Ilker smiles at Thessaly before leaving.

Thessaly's cheeks burn, and she doesn't know what to say or what came over her to do what she did minutes earlier.

Can looks at her, "We'll talk later."

He leaves quickly, while Thessaly shakes her head in disbelief.

She waits a few minutes, then joins the others at the table who are discussing business.

Clara, "You took a while, daughter."

Thessaly smiles awkwardly, "I was just looking at the garden."

...----------------...

The next day, Can calls Thessaly, asking her to meet him. They arrange to meet at a secluded restaurant, and when Can sees her, he feels a shudder.

They exchange greetings and order just coffee, and soon the man begins to speak:

"Look, Tess, what happened yesterday must never happen again, understood?"

She sighs, "I'm sorry, it was just a joke."

He nods and then says, "I have many goals ahead, and I can't lose focus on these sorts of things. I've never been involved with a student, and I never will. I know you wanted to prove something to yourself, but as you can see, it won't work out."

Thessaly listens carefully, "Ok. I would never jeopardize your career."

Can, "Moreover, I have my rules, and believe me, you don't fit any of them."

Thessaly, "Alright. Let's forget what happened."

Can, "So I don't even need to ask that this stays between us, right? Forget it, erase it, pretend it never happened."

She nods, and soon they stand up to leave.

Each goes to their own home, pensive, and the rest of the day drags on.

In the following days, Can completely ignores Thessaly's presence, whether at the university, the company, or even at her home.

...----------------...

Thessaly and Daniele spend several weekends grounded due to coursework, so they plan to go out together on the next holiday.

Daniele arrives at the bar, and Ilker immediately embraces and kisses her. Can merely nods at Thessaly, who does the same, and soon a fellow student approaches.

Italo has been studying with Thessaly since high school, and they've gotten together a few times. They go out to dance, and a busty redhead soon approaches Can. She kisses him, then asks if he'd like to go to a motel.

He thinks for a few seconds, glances at Thessaly kissing Italo, takes a deep breath and agrees to the woman.

Can follows the woman to the fanciest motel in town, they have a wild time, afterward, he gives her a generous sum of money, and leaves.

He takes a lengthy shower, then sitting in the living room with a drink, questions whether Thessaly went home with Italo.

"Damn it. This girl won't leave my mind! Hell."

...----------------...

In the morning, he goes for a run, but thoughts of Thessaly linger all day.

On Monday, he notices Thessaly entering a secluded part of the library, amidst tall shelves at the back of the room. He looks around, sees few people, all of them quite distracted, and then approaches the girl.

Thessaly is wearing a skirt that accentuates her rounded behind.

Can quickly closes the gap, standing so close that the girl's heart races.

"Did you have a good weekend, sweet Thessaly?"

"Amazing!"

Can laughs, "So the hookup was good?"

Thessaly faces him, "Why should that matter to you?"

He meets her gaze more intensely, "I guess he wasn't able to de-stress you, since you're already in a bad mood."

She laughs sarcastically, "Your presence does that."

He leans close to her ear, "Tell me, since you checked me out so eagerly that day at the event balcony. His thing isn't bigger than mine, right? I'm sure that must have disappointed you," he says, amused.

Thessaly retorts with sarcasm, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, since you asked me to forget what happened. So I don't remember."

Can presses his body against hers, partly between Thessaly's legs, "Then I'll have to make you remember," he says, as he lifts her skirt slowly, looking into her eyes.
