Law Students at Bristol University had it rough. Admittedly, they got by far the snazziest building: a big Gothic tower looming over the top of Park Road. It had turrets. Like an actual castle. And yes, they got all the prestige, and fancy corporate-sponsored dinners, and the promise of earning multi-millions in a few short years, but there was, balanced against all this, one major downside.
They were constantly surrounded by other Law Students.
This tended to drive them slightly mad, which meant that despite my being at Bristol to do a sane degree, I also had it rough.
Cathy started off as a perfectly awesome girlfriend -- adventurous and loving, a quirky sense of humour and a delightful penchant for kinky sex -- but it was all going horribly wrong as we got closer and closer to the summer exams. She was collapsing in on herself: a whirling mass of stress and hysteria as she tried to commit every statute, every treaty, every fragment of case law to memory. She was utterly convinced that she was failing, and that every other super-efficient student had it all down.
The last straw had come when she'd banned me from seeing her, claiming she needed a boyfriend-less week of intense revision. That one week had become two and my patience had finally worn thin.
Which was why I was here, at a side-door into the snazzy Gothic tower, at 10 o'clock on an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday evening. I knocked twice.
The door opened. 'Alright, mate,' said Nathan, grinning widely.
'Evening.' He was a drinking partner of mine and for tonight, a collaborator. An employee at the Library, it was his night to close up.
'She up there?' I asked.
'Yeah, we closed fifteen minutes ago, but I left the lights on. Her head's stuck in a book and she hasn't come up for hours.'
'Cheers.' I handed him the £50 bribe.
'You two have fun now.' He had no idea what I was going to do to her. He thought this was a lover's surprise. 'And take my keys. I'll need you to lock up.'
'Sure thing. Have a good one.'
He left. It never even crossed his mind to ask what was in the large black rucksack on my shoulder. I smiled, wondering what he would have thought if he'd seen the wide array of implements I'd stashed in there.
The building was no less impressive on the inside. A barrier rope stood just in front of the huge front doors. They'd let the tourists in just that far, so they could admire, while the students slipped past to head to their classes. The place reeked of power: the home of the brightest and the best.
I took my time, savouring the status and the statuesque beauty of these walls. Then I headed up the ancient stone steps that led to the first floor, where the Library was housed. Walking down the corridors, I took note of the portraits adorning the walls and even caught a glimpse of the luxurious student common room.
Finally, I reached the door I was looking for and eased it open. The library was different from the rest of the building: carpeted and more modern, with state of the art computers in the first section. I headed through, taking care to be quiet.
The main section of the Law Library was made up of two floors. Shelves of books arced around individual alcoves, with a wooden table in the middle of each. On the second floor, a railing ran all the way around the middle, stopping anyone from falling down to the floor below.
I moved slowly up the stairs to the second floor. I'd been here before to find Cathy and I knew where she'd be. My first glimpse of her stirred the adrenaline in my blood. Just as Nathan had said, she was working manically.
As I crept closer, I could make out more.
Her elbow rested on the desk as she bent over an ancient tome, her left hand interlaced in her unkempt hair, while her right fiddled with a ballpoint pen.
She looked profoundly fuckable.
Luckily, she was facing away, so I was able to get close enough to hear her mutter to herself: reciting mumbled nonsense at a feverish pace.
I took a second to appreciate how vulnerable she was. She had no idea how much trouble she was about to be in. No idea that a sadistic monster lurked just behind her right shoulder.
The first touch would be exquisite. That instant of perfect horror.
I grabbed her mouth first, then wrapped my arm around my chest and pulled her backwards. The fancy chair she was in clattered over. Her scream filled my palm, as I whirled her around, slamming her against the nearby bookcase.
Winded and stunned, it took her a second to recognise me. Her intelligent blue eyes widened even further.
'Tom!' she gasped.
'I think you should call me sir.' I kept my voice calm, but tightened my grip.
Her pretty face contorted into something like panic. 'What are you doing? There are people here!'
I slapped her. 'What are you doing,
sir
. And there's no one here. Nathan finished up twenty minutes ago. He left me the key.'
'He...
what?
'
My left hand gripped her throat. I could feel her tender, rapid pulse. I wanted her badly, and there was no way I was letting her escape.
'Cathy... Do you trust me?'
'Of course I --'
I interrupted. 'Then call me sir.'
She bit her lower lip, staring up at me. It was a long moment. Finally, she nodded. 'Yes, sir.'
I spun her again, pushing her down, chest first onto the oaken table. A divide ran down the middle of the table, and she instinctively gripped it with her fists. I took a second to appreciate the sound of her flustered breathing. Then I brought my hand down hard on her skirt-covered arse.
It was a long floral print skirt in a pale brown colour. The kind that screamed out bookish student and gave no hint of the perverted slut that wore it.
'You've fucked up, Cathy.'
'Sir?'
'You've forgotten what you are. Gotten all carried away with what a high and mighty lawyer you're going to be. Forgotten that your first and only duty is to serve my cock.'
A hint of outrage crept into her response. 'I have
exams
, sir!'
'Pull up your skirt, whore. It'll be hard to be so high and mighty when you're flashing your slutty kickers to the open air.'
'Listen here, Tom, I --'
I leant over, wound my hand in her hair and pushed her face into the wood. 'You need this, sweetie. You need to be taken down from your pedestal, fucked hard, and humiliated. Deep down, you know it.' I twisted the hair in my hand, pulling at her roots and eliciting a sharp cry. 'Now lift up your skirt and show me your lovely rear end, or I will be forced to hurt you.'
I didn't know for certain whether she'd do it. It was a hard ask. A signal of surrender.
Her struggle fascinated me. It wouldn't be fun if she wasn't so proud. The pride heightened her humiliation, gave her further to fall. But then, the pride was part of what made her submit. The desire to be a great submissive. To test herself. What a beautiful paradox she was...
Her hands went to the hem of her dress and began to inch it up.
I smiled. It was courage, wherever it came from. Huge numbers of women had the odd submissive fantasy. But how many of them had the guts to play it out?
'Faster, slut,' I whispered. 'I want to see your flesh.'
'Yes, sir.'
She lifted the skirt up and over, so it rested on her back. The contours of her arse were revealed. As was the lacy pink thong wedged between her cheeks.
