The Lyft ride pulls up to the curb of the hotel and she can see him standing there, stamping his feet in the cold, his hands shoved deep in his pockets. “Stop here and let me out,” she says to the driver. Thalia’s hands shake with nervous excitement as she points to the spot. She expresses her gratitude to the driver as a concierge rushes over to take her bag and she exits the car quickly.
The dark haired beauty nods to the attendant and he disappears inside with her things.
Pulling her coat down, she shakes her hair back, inhaling deeply, readying herself to see him face to face again.
“Hey, you,” Thalia calls warmly, her voice a bit shaky, inviting him to turn to look at her.
He spins on his heels, righting himself quickly. “Hi,” he whispers, the sound not quite carrying to her ears. The wave of love rolling off him barrels towards her down the sidewalk as she bridges the gap between them.
“Tell your expressive eyebrows to shut up.” She laughs, tears streaking her face. “They’re already screaming at me.”
Chris chuckles, his own eyes misty with tears. He purposely quirks his eyebrow. Shrugging his shoulders, he reaches out for her, replying, “I have no control over them. They speak whatever truth they know.”
Throwing herself against him, she lifts to her tiptoes, her arms wrapped around his neck. “Merry Christmas!”
“Shut up and kiss me,” he commands, his voice deep and reassuring. “It’s been too long.”

*peeks out from under a blanket and her purring cat* I can’t wait for you to read it. Even broke my ‘no writing on Sunday’ rule for it. @avenger-nerd-mom

This is an interim piece, catching up with Thalia Barreo and her life. Right now, she’s with Tom, but that doesn’t mean Chris is forgotten… Find out how the story ends in the sequel to Educating Thalia, coming soon!
If you don’t know the story of Thalia and Professor Tom, or how Professor Evans fits into all this, start at the beginning! Read Educating Thalia on WordPress.
Thalia is in heaven today—even if her imaginary halo keeps getting caught on her horns…
She won the World Cup bet with her boyfriend, Professor Tom Hiddleston, and she’s chosen this day to have him be at her beck and call. She wants to make good use of their time before he returns home for work. Their jobs keep them busy, she works in Paris while he still teaches literature at a small prestigious university in the countryside, near London. But they always have time for one another, and their summer holiday together was exactly what they both needed. Winning the bet was just an added bonus! Since this morning, she’s made him do all sorts of things, relishing the power she holds over her usually so dominant man.
It started with breakfast in bed. A full English breakfast, of course. Gotta put her British gentleman to proper use, after all. He managed to have it all ready at the same time, hot and tasty, and fed her bite after bite while Thalia returned the favor.
Then she decided some lazy lounging in bed was in order, and she ordered Tom to read to her in his ‘sexy professor voice’. That turned her on so much that she almost jumped his bones right then and there, but she held back. She has plans for her devoted manservant today!
