Author's note: this was written for a young friend. Many thanks to my editor. There's d/s in it but no BDSM, hence it's in 'erotic couplings'.

He couldn't help but notice her in the queue for coffee. Something about her ensnared his attention, as attractive women seldom did on first sight. But she wasn't a woman. She was a girl. An incredibly alluring girl. Her body just oozed sensuality. He was captivated.
He wondered what she was doing here. They were in a small rural university campus, and it was unusual to see anyone as young as her in the summer, when the place was full of people attending summer schools and training courses. He was here to teach on a union summer school, but this year, none of the students on his course attracted him sexually. This girl certainly did. And she was delightfully young.
She exchanged a few words with the cashier as she paid for her coffee. Definitely a US accent; he knew enough Canadians to tell the difference. As he settled for his tea, he watched as she wandered between tables. And chose to sit at an empty one. He was surprised. Normally girls her age stuck with their friends; he knew his daughters had when they were teenagers. His cock stirred. If she was that lonely she might want a friend.
He moved through the tables, and stopped when he reached hers:
-Excuse me miss, d'you mind if I share the table with you?
She looked startled, a bit unsure of herself, then forced a smile:
-Sure, help yourself. Sir.
Sir! She just got better.
-Many thanks. It's awfie busy in here just now. What brings such a young lass to the campus?
He knew she was mortified that he'd begun a conversation, but he wasn't going to let such an opportunity pass. She blushed delightfully, and wriggled in unease:
-I'm here for a drama summer school.
-You're travelled a long way for a summer school?
-Yeah, all the way across the Atlantic! – she blushed again – I, um, I won a sort of scholarship, otherwise I wouldn't be here. And you sir, why are you here?
-I teach a summer school here every July. Not drama alas, economics. Rather more boring!
She studied him carefully. He was an attractive enough man, though grey-haired and way older than her father. But there was something in his twinkling blue eyes that held her...
-So is this your first trip to Scotland?
The interest in his voice sounded kindly and genuine. Her defences weakened:
-Yeah. Actually it's my first trip outside the States. It's a bit lonely, but the campus is lovely, and the course is everything I expected. Well, so far; I've only been here a couple of days. Haven't really made any friends yet, the rest of the students are local. I don't think they know what to make of me. Most seem to be in groups who knew each other before they got here, so it's harder for me to make friends.
His cock twitched. Alone and lonely... and so fucking sexy. He knew he'd have her if he played it right. But she looked terribly young:
-Sorry, d'you mind if I ask how old you are?
He extended a hand, a winsome smile on his face:
-And I'm James.
She blushed again, more deeply, and he watched as the flush spread down her neck and over breasts only partly concealed by the top of her dress:
-Hi James. I'm Ruth, and I'm twenty. From New York.
He breathed deeply... he'd been worried she was under-age.
-So lovely to meet you Ruth. If you'd like the company of a man old enough to be your grandfather whilst you're here, I'd love to show you round a bit in your spare time. If the course allows you spare time, that is. But I'll understand if you're not interested in an old man's company.
She looked carefully in his eyes, bit her lip hesitantly. He seemed OK, had offered her an out from his invitation. It would be good to have someone to help her explore Scotland:
-That's a lovely offer sir. I haven't had a better one yet. So yeah, I'd love you to take me around a bit. Actually, I have more spare time than I'd expected.
-How long are you here for Ruth?
-Um, another twelve days on the course, then I have a couple of days free before I fly home. Now excuse me, I must get to a class.
-Of course, so must I. Do you have a mobile?
Her brows rose quizzically:
-A mobile?
-Sorry, silly me, I think you call it a cell?
-Uh, yeah, of course, but it doesn't work on your networks.
He handed her his card:
-Here's my number. I'm sure one of your tutors or fellow students will let you use one for a local call. Let me know when you have some free time, please?
She drew breath, hesitated. Hell, you only live once. And she was thousands of miles from her mother's caring but very limiting chaperoning. Go for it girl:
-I'm finished in two hours this afternoon, at five pm. My evening is free.
His heart-rate soared. Fuck, she really was opening up to him:
-I'm free at five too, and for once I don't need to attend the evening session of my course. Meet me back here at five then, and I'll show you around a bit before we have a rather better meal than the university refectory provides?
-Thanks sir, I'd love that. See you then.
She leaned towards him, kissed his cheek lightly, and walked off out of the café. He watched her delicious arse as she moved away, wondering just how far he might get with her. It was years since he'd been inside twenty year old cunt, and his erection was obvious to anyone who looked. But he knew he'd have to take it very gently. Hell, at twenty she might even be a virgin; she acted nervously enough. Yes, very gently indeed. He made his way to his class, his cheek still tingling where she'd kissed him. Maybe it was normal to kiss someone you'd just met in New York... or perhaps it was more personal.

She could hardly focus on her class that afternoon. There was just something about him, something she'd never encountered before. She tried her best to follow what her teacher was saying about the misogyny in Strindberg's plays; it was a subject that interested her, as anything with sexual content did. But by the time she left the classroom, she doubted if she'd absorbed a quarter of what she'd been taught.
Her mind had been on James, and she was a bit damp between her thighs. She walked to the café with rising excitement. She'd always been interested in older men, not least after hearing her friends' tales of losing their virginities to guys their own age. She imagined an older man would be more patient and caring. And she was very curious to have her first real sexual experience; her mother had seldom allowed her to date. She slipped into a toilet to prepare herself before meeting him.

His smile widened as she approached the door to the café. Fuck, she was gorgeous. He opened his arms to hug her gently, and when she didn't pull back, held her closer for just a moment. And kissed her lightly on the cheek:
-Hello, my beautiful new friend. How was your class?
-Um, quite interesting. About Strindberg...
-Hah! The old misogynist! But a fine playwright forbye.
-It appears so. I hadn't come across him before. That's why I'm here: to learn new things, have new experiences...
-Quite so, absolutely the right attitude. I wish more of my students shared it. Now, d'you want a coffee, or shall we just get going?
-Umm... I was thinking maybe I should shower and change? I mean, I'm hardly dressed for an evening out with a man in a business suit... and I'm a bit sweaty...
He surveyed her appraisingly: short summer dress, white cotton kneesocks, white trainers:
-You look good enough to me Ruth. Just lift your arm a minute, will you?
Puzzled, she raised her arm slowly. She was mortified when he bent to sniff her armpit:
-Sir! What are you doing? And in public!
She blushed more deeply than he'd yet seen. He was delighted that she'd obeyed him unquestioningly:
-Just sniffing your oxter to judge how sweaty you are, my girl. You smell delicious to me, very sexy. Ripe, in fact. I much prefer to smell girlscents to chemicals.
He didn't tell her that he found the smell of a woman's oxter almost as delightful as her cunt. He took her hand firmly, and pulled her in the direction of the car park. She complied and followed willingly, distinctly aroused now. Man, what this guy was doing to her... sniffing her armpit, in public.
She didn't recognise the car; some small European make. He opened the door and watched her slide her curves into the seat, before getting in himself:
-Now, where d'you want to go? At this time in the evening, it's not worth visiting Stirling castle, it's huge and shuts at six, alas. So that's for when we have more time. But there's a medieval cathedral ten minutes up the road, if you're interested? Or we could just go for a walk through the city. It has one of the finest collections of medieval buildings in Scotland.
