Adam picked up his backpack and headed over to Jen's place. He looked forward to the study sessions with Jen since it halved the time it took to do the problem sets and helped take away a lot of the stress and headache of being in such a competitive university. He always thought he was smart and that college would have been a breeze until he actually started his freshman year and quickly realized that all his classmates were just as brilliant, if not more brilliant than he was. Not to mention, his professors were all sadistic slave drivers. The only way Adam was keeping his head above water was these sessions with Jen.
Jen was one of the few freshmen who lived off campus and had her own apartment. Adam wasn't sure why Jen didn't live in the dorms like most other freshmen. He guessed her parents must have been well off and maybe Jen didn't want to deal with roommates, but he never asked about it and didn't want to pry. The apartment was decent with a separate living room, but it wasn't over the top.
Adam met Jen at an orientation mixer at the start of his freshman year and they gravitated toward each other once they realized they were in the same major and had the same classes. They were just study friends and Adam never got the impression Jen wanted to be more, so he never pursued it, even though he definitely found her very attractive.
He walked up to her door and rang the doorbell.
"Just a minute!" he heard through the door.
A couple minutes later, the door opened and he saw Jen in a long T-shirt, toweling her hair. "Sorry, I just stepped out of the shower after the volleyball game. I assumed you didn't want to work on the problem sets with me all sweaty and nasty. I didn't expect you for another fifteen minutes."
Jen's T-shirt was long enough and her shorts short enough that Adam had to briefly look down to confirm that yes, she was actually wearing shorts -- what was he thinking? It still wasn't a complete loss as he really enjoyed admiring her legs when he could get away with it. They were lithe, slender, and very well sculpted due to her athletic activities. He often went to see Jen play in the intramural volleyball league when he could carve out the time, primarily so he could have an excuse to ogle her. She wasn't that tall, but she had a great vertical and used that to her advantage.
He also probably wouldn't have minded her a little sweaty and hot in those form-fitting volleyball outfits, but he dismissed those thoughts. Jen was way out of his league. She was very attractive, had a fit, tight body and not only that, but she was extremely intelligent. She'd probably be able to pick any guy she wanted in his class.
Adam pulled a few wrapped sandwiches out of his backpack. "I brought some food, since it looks like we are going to be working on this for a while. I took a quick look at the problems and I think I can only solve three of them."
Jen gratefully took a sandwich. "Oh, thanks! I'm famished. You really know how to woo a woman." She gave him a 1000-watt smile.
Adam looked away, slightly reddening. They sat down at a table and started to dig in, bringing out their homework assignment so they could work and eat at the same time.
A few hours later, they were on the last problem. It was a complicated question involving 'number sets' that he couldn't quite reduce to something they learned. He felt that he almost had the answer in his grasp, but he was extremely distracted with Jen sitting so close to him and the image of her standing with only her T-shirt invading his mind.
Jen threw up her hands "I can't figure out how to reduce these sets. Maybe it's something they didn't cover in the lecture? What do you think?"
Adam shrugged. "Yeah, it's something Professor Campbell would do. Throw something we haven't seen before into the homework just to mess with us."
Jen yawned and reached for her open laptop and slid it over to Adam. "Here, maybe google will give us an idea on what to look for. I need a break, why don't you take a look? Maybe search the Wikipedia article on 'set theory'?"
Adam thought it was kind of dumb to look up Wikipedia when they had the textbook in front of him. He didn't have a better idea, and maybe a different presentation of the information could help jog his thoughts. He brought up the browser and started typing. He only got to the first two letters 'se' before the history autocomplete popped up and shocked him to his core. The first five links were all on 'self bondage' and 'self bondage equipment'. Before he was able to react, Jen yanked the laptop away from him and pulled his hands from the keyboard. She frantically typed in the rest of the search entry to hide the autocomplete dropdown.
"Here, 'set theory', let's take a look." Jen said, pretending nothing happened. Her face was red and her eyes were glued to the screen, refusing to make eye contact with Adam.
Adam was still in shock and pretended to look at the screen but he wasn't reading a word. Images of Jen tied up and naked came unbidden into his thoughts and didn't leave any room for anything else, much less 'set theory'.
Jen soon gave up the pretense and sighed. She turned to him and said "Look, you weren't supposed to see that. I was just curious, that's all." She looked at him pleadingly. "Can you keep this to yourself? It's mortifying."
Adam tried to defuse the situation. "It's fine. I won't say anything. You shouldn't be embarrassed about these things, it's normal and everyone has their own... interests". He attempted to keep a straight face, but shock was still written on his face.
Jen gave him a small smile. "Thanks for promising to keep quiet about this." She put her hand on his, looked directly at him, and added, "I trust you." She turned back to the homework assignment. "Anyways, I think I figured out what we need to use to solve the last problem."
Jen showed Adam what she just discovered and the trick to solve the problem that had been vexing them. Adam was glad she had figured it out, because there was no way in hell he could have solved it given his mental state. He probably couldn't even do basic math problems in his head.
They wrapped up and Adam packed his things to get ready to go. Some part of him wanted to stay and ask Jen more about her fetish, but the rational part of his mind didn't want to blow his current friendship and things to get weird between them. It was all a mistake and Jen clearly did not want to discuss it with him. After saying their goodbyes Adam headed back to his dorm room.
As he walked back to his dorm, he wondered if he would ever be able to look at Jen without imagining her tied up and helpless. This will make his study sessions even more difficult, but he wouldn't give those up for the world. He really liked being with her. Adam sighed and kept walking.
A few days later Jen called him up.
"Hi, Adam."
"Hi, Jen. What's up?"
A pause. "Uhm, I don't know how to put it, but I need to ask a small favor from you."
Adam's mind started to race. "Sure, Jen, what is it?"
