**This story is for all the wonderful people who wrote me and told me they liked my work. Once again I am sorry that the sex isn't instantaneous but I have always thought that the buildup was the best part of sex. Enjoy**
I watched as my hand rose slowly, preparing to knock on the wooden door before me. The knock when it came was slight and wouldn't have been heard in loud conditions. Fortunately, or unfortunately, to me, the occupant inside heard it. I heard a brisk "It's open" before the door was opened from the inside.
Standing before me was the man of my fantasies for the last four years. He hadn't changed since I'd last seen him but I hadn't really expected him to.
His hair was still strawberry blonde and receding attractively in the front. His usually clean-shaven face was the only change to his person. Now a beard was trying to push through, giving him the appearance of a 5 o'clock shadow many hours before. His body wasn't the typical dream man's but my taste has never been typical. He was round yet his body gave the appearance of muscle underneath the layers of fat. At 6'5, he towered over the people around him yet he didn't use his height to intimidate people. He could have been your hometown football hear years after scoring his last touchdown. He was in his late 30s yet he exuded a youthful demeanor. He always claimed being around kids kept him young.
I didn't know how I was going to get through the semester if I had to be near him for 3 hours straight a week.
"Hey girl. How was summer vacation?" His deep southern accent sent shivers down my spine.
"Good, Jared, and you?" I asked disgusted to hear just how breathy my voice sounded.
"It was good. I went to ---" As he prattled on all I could do was stare at him. I knew it was wrong to lust after someone who was 10 years older than me but also my professor, a person I respected as well as liked. Yet I couldn't make myself look away.
As I watched his lips move I could imagine them sliding across mine, pressing against mine, causing my lips to part, allowing his tongue to seek the wetness of my mouth. I could imagine him kissing my neck, the center of my cleavage before puling each--
"Are you ok, Sophie? You look like you could use some water?"
I blushed as I snapped out of my dream. Oh, my goodness, I have got to get a grip I thought.
"Sorry Professor. Yeah, I'm fine, its just been a long day," I smiled slightly hoping hw wouldn't notice how my body was betraying me.
"Come in. I'm acting like a jackass here leaving you out in the hallway," he turned and allowed me to enter his office. "Now what can I help you with?"
He stared at me with those gorgeous brown eyes of his that said he saw more than I wanted him to.
"Uh, oh, yeah, um I was wondering about hotel finance. I heard it was rather hard and just wanted to see if should wait and take it later. You know, so I could have more time to spend with it."
"Well, its not bowling 101 but I don't consider it as hard as physics either. I'm teaching it so it can't be that bad right?"
You have no idea, I thought.
"I was able to pass this same class with a C at UGA so I know you will get an A."
I smiled pleased at his compliment. I was a brainac, always had been, and always would be. I was more comfortable in a classroom setting than the real world. Still the fact of the matter was, I knew I didn't want to have to sit through his class at all. Oh, well, perhaps my parents would understand if I decided to drop out of school a semester before graduation. Yeah right.
I looked up to see Jared had stopped talking. Great and here I was staring and drooling all over the male WHILE he was talking to me. What the hell was I going to do?
"Uh, sorry, Prof. I have a bit of a headache and can't seem to concentrate today. I've been spacey all damn day," I stammered trying unsuccessfully to make myself seem less like the douche that I actually was.
"Uhhuh, I see. Well, I hope you feel better. Yeah back to what you were saying. The class isn't heard but it does take concentration." And that something you don't seem to have right now, went left unsaid.
Once again I could feel the heat rising on my face. Great, great, great. Douche AND weird.
"Well, I guess I better get going. Need to get home and fix something for supper yet." Rising quickly I started for the door. Jared rose with me, always the perfect gentleman. However, for some reason, I've always wondered if you looked a little deeper, you would find the most dominant man in the world. Yeah, like I'd get that chance.
"Thanks again for seeing me. I guess I'm just worried, this being my last semester and all. I don't want to ph...I mean, screw it up," I said blushing slightly.
Jared just laughed. "Its fine. Come by anytime. My office is always open for you."
I smiled slightly and headed for the door, breathing a huge sigh of relief. Well I had lasted...7 minutes according to my watch before acting like a total dipweed. Why? Why me? Why did I always have to be the geek in every situation? One day I'd like to be the one who makes people tongue-tied.
"Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen," I muttered to myself. Maybe if fat and smart ever came into style, which would never happen unless I could finish that alternate universe machine in my basement.
I laughed and it came out as a snort. I had a better chance at winning power ball than I had at Prof. Jared Moore finding me attractive.
Feeling incredibly depressed I headed to my car. Once inside I stared into space for a few seconds. I'd have to take his class or not graduate and that wasn't an option. I'd just have to find someway to keep my mind on school and off wondering if he wore boxers, briefs, or went commando.
I groaned and dropped my head onto the steering wheel. "Great, think about the man naked. That will really keep you focused on school."
Just then a knock came on the window. Startled, I jerked my gaze upward only to find the man himself staring at me.
Quickly I cranked the car to put the window down. "Yes?" I asked hesitantly.
"You forgot this in my office and I wanted to make sure you got it. I didn't know if you would need it or not tomorrow." He held up a wire bound notebook that I used as a thought catcher.
"Shit. Uh---I mean, thanks. I didn't mean to leave it behind but my mind was on-"
