This story is the first one I've submitted in many years. It is the first of what is intended to be a series following this professor and his TA. "My First Day of Class" is dedicated to and inspired my dear Josie, a friend I met right here on Literotica. She has brought out a part of me that has been yearning to be released for many years. Thank you Josie.

It seemed like a typical first day of the class. After all, this was my 24
th
first day of the year at Uni. Add in my four years of undergrad and three years of grad school, and that means its been 31 years of first days. All of them pretty much the same. And this one seemed no different. But then "she" walked in and my entire world changed.
"She" was a third year student who I'd never seen before. In fact, I didn't see her when she entered the room, but rather smelled her. The very slight scent of her soap mixed with a very intoxicating aroma of the pinch of perfume she had put on her wrists caught my attention, causing me to look up from the class notes I was reviewing.
When I did look, my eyes instantly found hers, and I was immediately lost in them. Her thick black lashes shadowed irises that seemed to hold hundreds of layers of various shades of brown, all encircling a well-defined pupil whose gaze pierced right through me. My eyes locked with hers for what seemed like an eternity but was only a few moments of time.
Realizing that I was in danger of ogling and violating all sorts of professor-student boundaries, I forced myself to lower my eyes. When I did, I noticed her neck was fully exposed revealing a necklace held down by an open-heart pendant, a small stone suspended in the middle of it. The bottom point of the heart guided my eyes a bit further down to the vee formed by the top four undone buttons on her blouse which unveiled just enough cleavage to entice me to want to see more. Again, my gaze seemed to be locked in position for what seemed like hours, or at least minutes, as I imagined what lie beneath the fabric closed by the hooked buttons on the bottom two thirds of the blouse.
Once again, becoming aware of my potential improprieties, I forced myself out of my brief trance and pulled my eyes back, widening out to take in her entire body as well as the students entering the class behind her. As she walked by, she made it obvious that my wandering eyes had betrayed me. But rather than give me a look of disgust or anger, she gave me a great big smile, turning her head toward me as she strode past me, allowing me to fully take in her beautiful full lips and the dimples that curled perfectly around their corners. And just before she turned her head to look for a seat, she gave me just a slight little wink - sending shivers down my whole body.
As she turned to find her seat, I looked back down at the notes I held in my hands, hoping that the arriving students thought I was simply getting my thoughts together for class. But the truth is I was staring at them blankly, trying to gather myself after observing the creature of beauty that had just passed before me.
Somehow, I was able to get hold of myself as the final student took their seat. Like the 24 first days that preceded this one, I walked through the syllabus with the students and shared my expectations, sharing my office hours and telling them that I would eventually have a TA that could help them as well.
And then I did an introduction to the course by sharing three outlandish stories and challenging the students to figure out which one was a real historic account. After healthy discussion, the students were shocked when I revealed that the most outlandish of the three was the real one.
"So now you know which of these stories is an actual historical event," I told the class. "But in this class, knowing historical accuracy is only the first piece of the puzzle. For next class, please find out what you can about this event and write a paper telling why it is important we remember this event, what it tells us about the time and culture in which it happened, and what we might learn from it for today."
As soon as the assignment was issued and before I could say "dismissed for the day," I saw a hand shoot up to my right. Of course it was "her." I'd been avoiding looking at her the entire class period. It was the only way I could keep my mind on the teaching task at hand. But now I had to not only
look
at her, but I also had to
speak
to her as well. "Yes," I said, having almost to force myself to talk as I was once again mesmerized by her. "Do you have a question?"
"Yes Professor," she said as she stood up displaying her hourglass figure to the whole class who was now looking in her direction. "Do you have a length requirement?" I didn't answer at first, captured by the sound of her voice. "For the paper professor, do you have a length requirement?"
"Yes," I said. "It needs to be as long as you need to answer the questions. If you can complete the assignment in three sentences great. But if you hand in a short paper and you have not sufficiently answered the questions your grade will reflect it. And if you hand in a long paper that includes all sorts of unnecessary information and argumentation, I will not be impressed, and your grade will reflect it."
"Thank you professor," she said as she bent down to take her seat again. She was positioned in such a way so that only I could see her from the front, the rest of the class having a view from behind or the side. As she bent forward, her blouse dipped away from her chest, offering me an unobstructed view down her shirt. My jaw just about hit the floor as I noticed that she was braless underneath her cotton blouse. I had a perfect view of her pert and erect nipples.
"See you all on Wednesday," I said to the class after I came to my wits. "I look forward to your papers."
The students began to gather their stuff and file out of the room. A few stopped and talked to me with questions regarding the assignment. As they were leaving, I noticed that she had been waiting her turn very patiently. "Professor, I'm Letty," she said to me as they were walking through the door.
"Nice to meet you, Letty," I responded, pleased to find out that "she" had a name. "I'm Professor Nickerson. But you already knew that of course." I cringed inwardly at how awkward I felt and how inadequate this conversation was going.
"You're right professor," she replied showing no reaction to my lame comment. "I knew that, and I've been looking forward all summer to taking your course. I've wanted to take a course from you since I started here at University. Professor," she continued, "you mentioned you haven't got a TA yet for the term. I'd like to apply for your TA position."
"Well... ah... I guess we could talk about that," I said. This was unorthodox as the department usually assigned the TA's to us from a group of honors students and graduate students, depending on what we needed. "Why don't you stop by during my office hours and we'll talk about what you have to offer for the position?"
"Oh, I think you'll find I have quite a bit to offer you professor," she responded with a glint in her eye. "I'll be there at 4:45," she said as students for my next class began to enter. "I think you'll find that I can fulfill all your needs," she added as she once again winked at me and then turned to walk out the door.
