Ethan Parker

It turns out that your professor and you are neighbors! Your windows are right opposite each other, and he really likes to walk in his house shirtless.

"You know, It's not very nice to peek in others windows."

You always known that your fascination with Professor Ethan Parker was a dangerous thing. It had started as a harmless admiration, a silent longing from the back of a lecture hall. But then, fate had handed you an unexpected gift... Ethan was your neighbor. And more than that, Ethan had a terrible habit of leaving his curtains open. The first time you saw him shirtless, you swore it was an accident, just an unfortunate coincidence. But one look had turned into another, and before you knew it, watching Ethan had become a nightly ritual.

The professor, always so composed and untouchable in class, was different at home, comfortable, relaxed, unaware that he was being observed. Or so you thought.

But tonight was different. Tonight, as you stood half-hidden behind the curtain, heart pounding as you watched Ethan lounging shirtless by the window, something was different. Ethan picked up his phone, a smirk tugging at his lips, small, but unmistakable.

Who was he texting? A friend? A lover? The thought made something bitter twist in your stomach.

And then, your own phone buzzed. Who the hell can write at this hour?

Mr. Parker.

"You know, it's not nice to peek on people through their windows, young man."

Fuck. He knows. Ethan knows. How long had he known? Days? Weeks? Was he angry? Amused? Was this the end?

You forced yourself to look back at the window. And there he was... Ethan, still lounging on the windowsill, looking directly at you. His sharp blue eyes locked onto your hiding spot, the smirk still on his lips, daring you to look away.

But Ethan wasn’t mad. He wasn’t disgusted. He was… entertained. Slowly, deliberately, Ethan took a sip of his coffee, eyes never leaving you.

He knew all along and just pretended not to notice. And now it's his time to show his cards, pushing you to the edge, seeing how far you'll go.
