Author's note: The story has three chapters. The first and second chapters set the stage for the two characters. The third chapter is the "action." If you want a quality read, start from the beginning. If you want to get right to it, start from chapter 3. Thank you!

"Professor, just so that I'm clear, you want us to write an argumentative essay in support of a bad guy's actions in our favorite television show?"
Lana's hand was still skyward, gesturing as if to be called upon but speaking out of turn anyway. In a month of classes, it was her voice that spoke up the most often. It wasn't melodic, but confident and questioning, the sort of style that suggests a sharper intellect than her peers.
September had come and gone before Daniel could appreciate it. The beginning of every fall semester trended that way. He'd been teaching for 3 years now, and being on the low end of the instructional totem pole relegated him to the first-year English courses. This class, an English 101, had the same range of focus that most introductory courses had - 24 students between the ages of 18 to 21, most of which were only there because it was required and not because they appreciated the subject at all. Amidst them were the one or two students who were clearly beyond their colleagues in skill and interest, stuck in a first-year course because a placement exam scored below the ability to test out of the class.
Lana was the one student who was both more interested and more driven to do well. To Daniel, it was these few students that helped motivate him to keep teaching when there were days that made him want to quit. She was fresh out of high school, and though probably not the valedictorian in her alma mater, she was certainly regarded as one of the nerdier kids while there. A desire to both learn and do well in school? It didn't matter too much if she was attractive, it still labeled you as outside the popular zone.
"Yes," Daniel responded, gesturing for her to lower her hand before she pulled a muscle. He redirected his answer to the entire assembly. "Everyone has or does watch a TV show. Whatever one you watch - and I'm referring to a fictional, story-driven show, not 'Cops' or 'Big Brother,' okay? - look at one of the bad guys, the antagonists, and write a short essay explaining his or her reasoning for doing the things he or she does. Then explain why it's a good thing that he or she does these things."
There was general murmur in the classroom. Two dozen individual opinions of characters they would analyze started sprouting around the room, a dull roar rose.
"So, like," Lana continued, "I could write how I am in support of Tyrion Lannister's defense of King's Landing using Wildfire, despite it being essentially chemical warfare?" Already considering a political angle. Lana's short writing assignments so far have been pleasant to read, and Daniel expected this assignment to return looking unique and polished. She looked at him with wide, blue eyes, head tilted slightly askew, her dirty blond hair in a low ponytail, cascading down the length of her back. He enjoyed her presence in class, not the least of which being that she was catnip to his cravings.
He nodded slowly as he answered, "Yes, that's one way to go. But remember that in the 'Game of Thrones' time period, chemical warfare was not unexpected." Daniel's eyes met hers, and he couldn't stop his mind from flashing a fantasy of her bent over his desk in his small office, those little pale blue jean shorts at her ankles, his cock buried deep inside...and then his libido let go as he finished his explanation. "So that's one perspective you can have. And remember, you don't have to like or agree with the opinion you write, but you have to show reasons to support your position. This essay is a practice one for a more directed research essay later in the semester, so I'll be far more lenient about your writing here. The assignment's requirements are on the syllabus, and this is due a week from tomorrow.
"Okay, since there's all of 5 minutes left and I have nothing else to torture you all with" - his class laughed in response - "have a good day! And by the way, office hours are also in the syllabus, so if you need an suggestion or a little guidance, feel free to visit me there. Don't forget to check out the Writing Center also! They can help direct your path when you can't meet me in my office!"
The students began gathering and shuffling, a cacophony of papers being rustled and bags being lifted, footsteps echoing into the hall. Daniel busily gathered his laptop and projector, stuffing his equipment into the bags, and one student stood beside the lectern.
"Lana, what can I do for you?"
Her red tee-shirt with the university logo on the front, was snug to her slender frame. She wasn't a model, but definitely eye catching. It was clear that parts of the logo bulged out closer to him than others portions. Her legs were pale below her round hips, and her ass was...
"I didn't know if you thought the Tyrion idea was a good one. Should I choose another character? Like maybe Walter White from 'Breaking Bad'? I mean, he was the good guy, but he did some bad stuff..."
Daniel chuckled. "Yeah, they're both complex characters. But remember, this isn't a major assignment! I'm not going to mark you lower for having a difficult character to support and defend. It's about presenting a solid argument in support of whomever, and giving some evidence to back it up, okay?"
"Okay, Professor. Thank you! See you next week!"
He watched as she turned, picked up her bag, and walked her rounded ass out of the room. The fantasy returned, her bare ass sticking out as she bent over the desk, resting on her shoulders, and his cock filled her young pussy.
At 32, Daniel was just old enough to know that 18 year olds are more about drama than stability, but just young enough to be able to enjoy the fantasy of being the teacher giving a lesson using his tongue on one of his students. He was single, and during a semester he spent a great amount of time grading rather than dating, so his recent dry spell was wreaking havoc on his attention span some days. He had never actually attempted such a relationship - if fucking a student was what you would call a "relationship" - but the fantasy still dazzled him.
