I am sure that Holly Woode did not mean to get me fired from Holier Than Thou College when she decided that she had to fuck my brains out. Holly never once complained to the Dean about having to bob her head up and down on my cock for hours on end, or about having to drain every ounce of cum from my body. Holly rather enjoyed sucking cock, swallowing cum, tonguing my asshole with her impossibly long tongue, or bending over my office desk and making me fuck her asshole raw. Unfortunately when you are young, and I was a young faculty member when I had Holly, you get impetuous, incautious and make careless mistakes. Rule Number One when you are a single young male heterosexual faculty member in these times of political correctness: remember, your butt ugly thirty-something feminist just realized no straight man ever will marry or touch me female Ph.D. colleagues will have your ass in a sling when they learn that you are diddling the hot undergraduate chickies.
Holly Woode made me her project during the second semester of her first year at Holier Than Thou College. Holly was the star student in my first year honor's aesthetics seminar. I can be obtuse when it comes to women, and it took over a month of Holly's best efforts that spring semester for me to realize that Holly was shamelessly flirting with me every chance she got. Young white single male faculty members cultivate a studied indifference to flirting as a defense against the radical feminist inquisition. As I made no move on Holly-I feared castration at the hands of the inquisition if I broke the "don't touch the students" rule-Holly eventually invited herself to my house one Friday night at the tail end of her freshman year. She took matters into her own hands and gave me no choice but to notice her charms and to have wild sex.

I think it was T.S. Elliot who wrote, "April is the cruelest month" . . . well it's actually March that is the cruelest for single male faculty members, because that's when it warms up enough for the co-eds to shed their bras and sweatshirts in order to compete to see who can poke the most aggressive nipple through a thin cotton t-shirt. For the male faculty, spring is the "don't look, don't touch, keep your mouth shut" season as the odd leer or overlong glance is sufficient to bring the wrath of the feminist inquisition down on one's head. My first spring at Holier Than Thou, the inquisition flayed poor old Professor Giles Perry for a flippant remark he had made about wanting to be sure he used the college's new "eyeglass" benefit to update his prescription before the spring quad sun-bathing season began. The quad, come March, always filled on sunny days with young lovelies pushing the limits of decency in seemingly ever smaller thongs.
I finally took notice of Holly's flirtations with me when during a session of the aesthetics seminar, the then still seventeen-year-old freshman interrupted an argument she was having about heroin chic with Brown Brickfyd, an annoying pimply freshman boy, to ask my opinion about the essence of female beauty.
"Isn't Lara Flynn Boyle too thin to be truly beautiful?" her question.
"No, she's quite pretty," I answered without thinking too much before opening my mouth. I mean she is pretty. "Maybe not my first choice in actress, but nothing to complain about either. I wouldn't kick her out of bed or anything. Not like I'd stand a chance of getting her there she being a star fucker and all."
"Geez that means I'll have to squeeze these into an a-cup," Holly's reply as she squeezed a breast through her thick baggy grey sweatshirt before turning back to Brickfyd to make some deeper point about heroin chic.
I think that moment is when I first got Holly's message.
A week later Holly dropped by my office during my regular office hours. She wore a dark blue Elise Elise dress. My jaw dropped. I didn't recall her wearing anything but very baggy oversized grey sweats all semester. In the baggy sweats, you would be hard pressed to know Holly was a girl. High fashion agreed with Holly. The dress highlighted her generous breasts, tiny waist, slender hips, tight butt and lots of bare leg. No hose. No panty lines. Legs were shaved and looked quite strong. Shaved legs were not in fashion at Holier Than Thou that season. Holly's hair was down, usually she had it up under a ball cap. She had painted her nails. She sat in the chair next to my desk and crossed her legs giving me a great shot of taught slender thigh.
"I'm finished with the class's academic requirements other than attendance when I turn in my seminar paper? No other work due this term?"
"Yup," I replied. "That's it. You could'a emailed that question." I flashed one of those why are you taking my time looks that professors use to chase students from their offices.
"True, but then you wouldn't get to see the dress." She didn't miss a beat.
She stood and did a dainty runway walk around my office.
"I think I clean up nice. Essence of female beauty?" Another Holly question couched in rising tone of her voice. And how could I answer without bringing doom on myself from the ever-prying eyes of the inquisition?
"And why is that essence so important?" A studied scholarly reply-answer a question with a question-commit to nothing, equivocate about what you meant when pressed later.
"To catch your eye of course." She winked, checked her watch, "Ciao. Gotta run babe. Have a class with the lovely Doctor Rhubarb. Oh, and here's the seminar paper. So I'm technically not your student anymore." She dropped the paper on my desk and she was off.
Holly became an office hours regular over the next few weeks. She would drop by "just to chat" as she put it. She drank some coffee. I always offered a cup to office guests when I wanted them to stick around. Did I just say I wanted her to stick around? I have to remember to be more careful.
Holly would bring the newspaper and talk about articles, or she'd make me help her with the Times' crossword. Occasionally she would drop by with her lunch and eat a sandwich or some yogurt while making me translate whatever it was I was working on from "impenetrable academese" to undergraduate English.
Near the very end of the semester, on a Friday, I was working in my office around six to finish up a book chapter when an instant message flashed across my computer screen.
"What are you doing?" It was from Holly. She was in a computer lab in the chemistry building safe from the prying eyes of the inquisition. She continued typing, "Saw you on the network. It's Friday and late, why are you still in? Hot smart single boys like you should have dates? Want a cute visitor? I have a little black cocktail dress that's perfect for a Friday night."
I hope that some giant computer brain somewhere working for the inquisition did not record all faculty instant message chatter. I always assume the worst about big sister and her prying eyes.
"Always like a cute visitor in a black cocktail dress!" Had I said that? Geez, I was getting sloppy careless. "But just now I'm working pretty hard on a book chapter. Won't be heading home 'til later."
"Oh I'll leave you alone then . . . I know your book is important...Just wanted to dazzle your eye with some more high fashion. I'll have to do that later I guess," she typed a smiley face and signed off.
I finished writing around nine, and emailed a text of the final book chapter to my editor at a prestigious academic press. I lived about 4 blocks from campus in a great old house. High ceilings, hardwood floors, huge screened in porch at the back of the house. I walked home. It was a warm spring night. I enjoyed the quiet walk home. I found Holly letting herself into my screened porch when I got home. I wasn't sure if I should smile.
"Thought you might like company when you got home lonely boy. Saw you sign off the network. Figured you might be heading home and decided to drop in," she said.
