"You know how it goes. Take one, pass it back. You'll have an hour and a half. Take your time, use it wisely. When you're done, bring them up to me," Dr. Windsor said to her waiting students.
She bounced as she walked to the front row. There was no other word for it. Her clothes were professional but so goddamn tight she threatened to burst out of them. Corbin stiffened at the sight, thinking amusedly how this started with him getting a hardon in her class and her seeing it in a moment of embarrassment. Now he was plotting to fuck her. What an odd semester it had been.
Time.
Every moment of the last few months built to this. His girlfriend Jessica planned to form Corbin into a lady killer. Anyone he wanted on campus could be his, she told him, and so far, she hadn't been proven wrong. Their ultimate goal back then was for him to sleep with Dr. Windsor, one of the hottest women on campus and his crush.
Corbin didn't give a damn anymore about the sexy professor. This had moved well beyond that. This was about his future. Jessica's future.
Their future.
Gone was all his doubt about what he wanted and if he deserved Jessica Nakamura, the fantasy woman of his dreams. Her self-doubts would always plague her, a scar he was willing and happy to kiss when she needed it.
He was ready for this game to be over, and so was she. He could feel that too in every anticipatory moment they spent together, in the way neither of them slept at night. Corbin might only be nineteen, but he knew with absolute unflinching certainty what he wanted in life. To be with Jessica, forever.
If he managed to pull this off, he got whatever he wanted out of their relationship. If he failed, she would get the same. That they both wanted to get married and have a family was clear, but it was the proposal that hung in the balance. He had a plan in motion on how he wanted to pop the question, but Corbin had nearly caved in and done it a dozen times since he bought the ring over the fall break, aided by Jessica's father and her brother. Every morning Corbin woke up next to Jessica and thought that would be the day he'd propose. Every evening, after they fucked or made love, depending on their mood, he thought about asking her, about starting the next part of their journey together.
Patience, he told himself. You can make it.
Everything was set to try to sleep with Pamela Windsor. There was no more planning to be done. Nothing that needed to be bought or prepared or any of that. All that was left was to make his move, such a simple one it was almost laughable. Would Dr. Windsor say no? Probably. He was a student, she was his professor. He'd fucked her daughter a few times. Same with one of her colleagues and best friends. By now Pamela had to know there was blood in the water and he was circling.
If he didn't do this, Jessica might try to propose to him, or tell him to propose to her, and he would, unquestionably.
This was worth every risk.
He took the stack of tests from the student in front of him, laid his out, and twisted around to hand them to the next one. When he turned back around, this time, he was certain Dr. Windsor was looking at him. His heart and his spirit might be ready to move on, but his body still roared for her. He wanted to take her every way he could.
Soon, he told himself, giving her a wide, easy smile. Either I'm going to be fucking you or you're going to throw me out of your house. Either way, an end. Finally.
She smiled back. He thought the challenge in her eyes was about the final. Corbin couldn't have known what she already knew.
But he was going to find out.
Time.

Christmas lights twinkled merrily in Sam and Corbin's dorm room. The string they bought was too long for just the window, so they ended up buying another couple strings and hung them from the ceiling to give the room a brilliant cheery vibe.
The room was jam-packed with friends. Corbin and Jessica were seated together at a corner of his bed, his legs spread wide so she could sit between them. Sam's friends Patrick and Dan took up corners of the two guys' beds, while Sam and his new girlfriend Mary sandwiched back against a wall, bags of Chinese food beside them. Kacey and her boyfriend, a bearish guy named Manny, sat together on the room's wooden chairs. Kacey and Mary's friend Shawna was no longer in the picture. From what Corbin understood, her sarcasm and bitterness became too much over Thanksgiving break and she was now hanging with a different crowd.
The party marked an end to the semester. With only one day of finals left, everyone would be scattering to the winds until January. Sam and Mary lived pretty close by to each other, just an hour's drive in heavy traffic and markedly less so in anything lighter, and would get to see each other plenty over the break. That was good. Their coupling was a new thing, born just a couple weeks prior over a fun group date with Kacey and her guy as well as Corbin and Jessica. Sam thought he flubbed it, considering he stuttered through every conversation, but Mary found something about his nervousness and goofiness sweet. And as it turned out, they shared a lot of interests in the same things. Their favorite date nights were spent at a local games shop, huddled over rulebooks and character sheets with Patrick and Dan.
Things were just drawing to a close. Corbin and Jessica needed to get moving soon. They would be going back to her place first, then Corbin would be going on. One last step, and then his and Jessica's future stopped being a roll of the dice.
Jessica had been quiet most the evening. Neither of them had done much more than pick at their dim sum and Sichuan pork. Corbin didn't want to overeat, but he wasn't sure why Jessica seemed reluctant to eat. Nerves, he supposed. She had a lot riding on this too.
One aspect did bother him quite a bit. Back when Jessica gave him a lesson on spontaneity, he had to sleep with a random person over a weekend she was gone. That person was Kacey, and though she was a great woman and now a good friend, Corbin discovered a lot about himself that weekend, namely that he didn't want to fool around with anyone if Jessica wasn't going to be there. That night, Corbin could see no organic way of bringing Jessica along with him and still managing to pull this off. It would be awkward enough as a solo effort. But to try and force a threesome on a professor out of nowhere was a bit too far even for his newfound self-confidence.
He didn't like the idea of sleeping with Dr. Windsor when Jessica wasn't there. It felt like cheating, even if she knew about it and had always been the one to push this as a final test of her ability to transform him into the ultimate fantasy man. Doing this without her when they worked so hard to achieve this felt wrong, but it was far more basic than that. Corbin didn't want to feel like he was going behind Jessica's back, even if the thought of driving his cock in and out of Dr. Windsor's sweet MILFy pussy set off every charge inside him.
His megrims evaporated when a timer on Manny's phone went off. He reached over and squeezed Kacey's knee. Funny how he always needed to be touching her when Corbin was around. Good guy, but possessive, and he knew they'd hooked up.
"Movie time," Manny said.
Kacey took his hand in hers. "Mm, popcorn and Chinese all in the same night. I'm going to get so fat."
"Good!" Manny said cheerfully. "Easier for me to grab you and pin you down for some of the fun stuff." She let go of his hand and smacked his hip.
"Sam, keep our leftovers," Corbin said to his roommate.
"You can have ours too," Manny said. Corbin might have been dense when it came to relationships, but he was smart enough to pick up the guy was trying to match him measure for measure. Corbin had to fight a tiny grin. Dan and Patrick echoed the pair of them.
"You guys sure?" Sam asked.
Mary elbowed him. "Shhh, be quiet. Moo goo gai pan for breakfast tomorrow." She moaned for emphasis.
Sam said in a hurry, "Right, yeah, what was I thinking?"
"Hey, Sam, you got that thing?" Jessica asked.
"Yup!" Sam said, sliding off his bed. "Hey, guys, can we catch up? I need to give Jessica and Corbin something."
The rest of the room cleared out, leaving the two roommates and Jessica. Even Mary left. Sam stowed away the leftovers, then knelt by the foot of his bed.
"This was actually Jessica's idea," Sam said.
"Dude, you don't have to get me anything," Corbin said.
"No, no, I'm not. Just returning some things." Sam handed Jessica a box and lifted another tote himself. They opened them up, and inside were all of Corbin's action figures and statuettes from the beginning of the semester. He gave them to Sam when Jessica told him his half of the room was decorated childishly. It led to a fight, the biggest and so far only one of their relationship, but they had long since mended things.
"My landlord gave me the okay to put in some shelves," Jessica said, rubbing Corbin's back. "When we're on break, a friend's going to install them in the living room and our bedroom."
