The Storm and Chalk Dust

Lina Mercer's panic over math spirals into something far more dangerous when her teacher, Elias Voss, offers to help after class. His touch ignites a fire she can't ignore, and a storm outside mirrors the tension inside as they cross a line that can't be uncrossed. In the quiet of a rain-drenched evening, the boundaries of student and teacher blur until they vanish entirely. Elias isn't just teaching her patterns; he’s showing her a hunger she never knew existed.
