Him by Cecilia Scott, helpfully cover-blurbed with "all that mattered was", is her standalone f/m contemporary erotic romance with a bit of a dark edge, focusing on the obsessive fixation a college instructor develops for the enigmatic man she's been exploring her sensuality with, which the author's bio-blurb calls "semi-autobiographical", free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins UK's Mischief imprint.

This doesn't appear to exist at Kobo, nor to be free in other EU/Commonwealth regional stores that sometimes also get the UK freebies when I spot-check, though YMMV.
Unlikely to cross the pond. We've had a really low transmigration rate for HarperCollins UK freebies to date, and especially from this particular imprint.
Description
She was entranced by his power, his prowess and his desire for her…
In this modern addition to the tradition of “Emmanuel” and “The Story of O”, a ordinary woman embarks on a voyage of sensual discovery with an enigmatic and more experienced man.
She’d met him at a chance encounter in an upscale bar in downtown Los Angeles. And then she’d did what many women do: she took a short cut to love. Before long she is lost in a haze of passion and desire and longing. Rarely are their trysts planned, but this much she knew: he owned her life. She had long given up her rights to it. And with his possession of her life, she had lost her self.
“Him” is an erotic novel about a beautiful but insular young community college instructor who begins an erotic adventure with a man who is beyond her reach. Being with a man like him is exhilarating, exhausting and excruciating. And there’s no easy exit strategy.
