âExcuse me.â
His voice sent a shiver coursing through me that only intensified at the feel of his body brushing against mine. Gawd, just looking at Dr. Davidson sometimes made me blush. I was beginning to think that continuing as his lab assistant was a bad idea. It couldnât possibly be healthy to walk around this aroused all the time.
From the corner of my eye, I tracked his movements around the lab. Every second was heightening my arousal. I could almost feel his hands on me, hear his voice go husky with passion. I knew I was being ridiculous, but I couldnât seem to think of anything else.
âElizabeth? Are you ok?â
Jerked back to reality. A blush was working its way up my neck and I was suddenly trying very hard not to giggle. âYe-Yes, Dr. Davidson, Iâm fine. Did you need something?â
âActually, yes. I need to see you in my office tomorrow afternoon. Two oâclock?â
âUmmm⊠yeah, that will be fine. Should I bring my lab reports?â
He seemed distracted as he answered. âYeah, thatâs fine. Sounds good.â
My eyes were glued to his ass as he left the lab. A moan was caught in my throat. A meeting with him in his office? Why?
*******
The following morning, I agonized over what to wear, and then decided I was being silly. This was my professor I was thinking about. A PhD⊠not some grad student with a hard-on. I was probably being called into his office to be removed from the project. I sighed and slipped on my jeans and button down shirt. Both were beat up and rather threadbare, but they were clean, and that was all I usually cared about. Today, I took another look in the mirror and sighed again. âNo way he wants anything from you except your withdrawal from the program.â
By the time two oâclock rolled around, I was so nervous, I didnât think Iâd make it to the appointment. Iâd fantasized about Dr. Davidson all day long. Iâd actually locked myself in a bathroom stall and masturbated this morning with thoughts of him assaulting my senses. On the other hand, I just knew he was giving me the boot, and I was going to have to figure out how to get my Masterâs without the lab work I needed.
I knocked on his office door, and took a deep breath.
âYes?â He sounded slightly irritated⊠maybe distracted. I hoped it wasnât directed at me.
âDr. Davidson? We had a two oâclock? I brought those lab reports.â
âYes. Have a seat.â
Sitting down in a burgundy velvet chair, I crossed my legs. Uncrossed them. Sat my books and reports on my lap. Leaned down and placed them on the floor by my feet. Crossed and uncrossed my legs again. Looked up at Dr. Davidson and blushed. He was watching me, a slight smile on his face.
âAre you ok, Elizabeth?â
I blushed. Deep red. The heat moving up my neck and onto my cheeks. I glanced away. Took a deep breath. Looked back. âYes. Just nervous, I guess. Iâm⊠not sure why you wanted to meet with me outside the lab.â
He smiled. Did he blush? âI wanted to talk to you. Youâve seemed⊠distracted lately. As if something is bothering you. Is everything going ok? I know you need this lab, but I donât think youâre giving it everything you can.â
Half of my brain was screaming at me to say something, anything to keep this position as lab assistant. The other half was just listening to the rhythm of his voice. Watching his mouth move. Noticing how his fingers moved as he played with a pen on his desk. I knew it was ridiculous, but I could feel myself getting wet. My hand was absently plucking at the loose strings surrounding a hole in the thigh of my jeans. A nervous habit, that right now was making me even more aware of my body. Apparently, it was having the same effect on him, because his eyes were glued to my hand. His awareness intensified my arousal. I could feel the crotch of my jeans getting damp.
âDr Davidson, Iâm sorry. I know Iâve been distracted, and Iâll make more of an effort. Really. But I have to go. Now.â I bent to gather my books and make my escape at the same time he dropped his pen and bent to pick it up. Our heads bumped and I almost laughed at the clichĂ©. As it was, I giggled nervously, and sat up. My books were clasped to my chest, hopefully muffling the sound of my heart pounding.
Dr. Davidson looked up slowly. âAre you ok?â He chuckled. âI seem to be asking you that a lot lately, Elizabeth.â
âYes. I just need to⊠go. I need to go.â
âNo.â It was said so softly, I could barely hear it, but it sent shivers up my spine.
