Of course, it helped that he had tenure now. No one would doubt that Dorian Pavus was a leading expert in Roman history and traditions, especially those pertaining to to death. The University was lucky to have him as a Professor. There were plenty in Rome who had many offers that were very, very generous. They could over look his personal affairs, mostly his tendency to party. This was the first time he had taken up with a student.
It wasn't as if Bramen was in his program or the student he was advising. Those students were strictly off limits because it was a professional relationship. Bramen? He was just a random student that had ended up in his class that was clever enough to warrant Dorian's attention. That attention had gone into romantic feelings and well, here they were.
The relationship didn't interfere with his work any. Dorian was in his office, grading papers that he had promised his students would be done by the end of the week. He still had plenty of time to do so. He was waiting for Bramen to get home from his shift but that thought was in the back of his mind. He was not sitting at the door waiting like some sort of excited puppy. He was smitten, yes, but he wouldn't let that interfere with his work.
Tonight, he was hungry and recovering from his hangover. Hangovers always made him hungry because he couldn't stand to eat anything for a few hours until the worst of it passed. He had his ginger tea which kept his stomach down and hydrated him which was what he desperately needed. Once Bramen got home with dinner Dorian would jump all over that.
