'Come!'
I put the research paper I'm reviewing down and sigh inwardly. Another interruption is not what I need right now, but there's nothing for it. Visiting hour is visiting hour.
For the thousandth time I think about how the university would be the perfect place to work if it wasn't for the students.
The door creaks open slowly and a mop of auburn hair precedes a young woman's head.
'Professor Stevens, may I have a minute of your time?'
'Of course, come on in and have a seat.' I plaster a non-committal smile on my lips and push my reading glasses down a notch.
A young woman in her early twenties enters timidly and closes the door behind her. A spark of recognition flashes in my brain, but I'm unable to place her completely. This is not unusual, given that my introductory class in Human Physiology has over a hundred students. With only one semester almost done, I have not had the time to learn any but a few names.
'How may I help you,' I ask in a mild tone, still trying to place her.
'Hi,' her voice cracks nervously. She's still standing inside the door, fidgeting with a lock of her long, slightly curly hair as it spills over her shoulder and down her chest. 'I'm Rachel, Rachel Morris. From Phys one-oh-one.' Her voice makes it a question, as if I should remember her.
It suddenly clicks in my mind. The quiet girl who always sits to the left, on the third row. She usually has her hair up in a severe ponytail, and her glasses are gone, but I recognize her now. I smile and wave for her to have a seat.
'Of course! I didn't recognize you with your hair down. Please, have a seat and tell me what you need!'
She steps over to the seat on the opposite side of my desk. Stacks of papers cover it completely, and my computer is almost blocked by the latest stack of tests left to grade.
'Professor Stevens, I...'
'Please, call me Alex. Professor Stevens is my dad, and you make me feel like some ancient mummy when you call me that.' She giggles in a very cute way and the tension in the room melts a little.
'Professor, ah, I mean, Alex, I have a problem I hope you can help me with.'
'I gathered as much,' I say with a small smile, 'please tell me what it is you need.'
She launches into a tale of her recent problems at home. It's the usual story of a sick, elderly grandmother and the need to go out of town to visit and so on. The story is an old one, and I've heard it and its variations many times before, but she seems earnest and sincere so I give her the benefit of the doubt and hear her out. While she prattles on, her eyes wander and I grab the chance to steal a few looks at her when she's looking away.
A mass of auburn, wavy hair with a bit of curl to it frames a quite pretty face. If she had used any make-up she would surely have turned heads on the street, but she seems a bit of a gray mouse. Her cheeks have a bit of colour to them, though if it's rouge or a blush is difficult to tell. Her shoulders appear tiny under the mass of hair, but I guess she's pretty average, neither petite nor plump. The loose blouse hints at a reasonably well stocked chest, but the fabric and hair spilling over it makes it difficult to tell when she's sitting down. Her hips are wide, and a pair of shapely legs peek out from her medium length skirt. Knees pressed together, it's difficult to tell anything else, but all in all she is quite attractive, if in a bookish sense. The best kind, in my opinion.
'...so I ended up with almost no time to study for the test, and I'm afraid I botched it completely. Sir, Alex, I really need to get a good grade on this test, or I'll risk losing my scholarship!'
I look up at the end of her story and meet her eyes. Did she see me checking out her legs? There was definitely more colour in her cheeks now, but that could just as well be from her empathic story.
'I see,' I start slowly, taking my glasses off and putting them down to get a moment to consider. 'You have to realize that this is the university, and it's up to each student to take responsibility for their studies.'
This is the mandatory response to every such plea for special treatment, and her face falls more with each word.
'I get a number of students come see me every semester with similar tales. I'm not saying I don't believe you, you seem very sincere and forthright, but Biology is not subjective, at least not at this level. I cannot change your grade simply because you ask nicely and have very good reasons. If the answers are incorrect, they are incorrect. No amount of pleading or excuses can alter that.'
'But...' she starts to object and I raise a finger to stop her.
'My mind is firm on this, and I could get in trouble if it's found out.'
Realizing the battle is lost, she starts to rise and gather her things. Head down, she bends to pick up her book bag when creamy skin flashes through the gap between the buttons of her blouse. The smooth skin of her breast is completely bare, and a semicircle of darker brown skin that can only be her areola peeks out. My cock lurches a little in my pants, luckily covered by my desk.
Since my wife forced me to choose between having kids, and by extension her, or my career a year ago, I have not had time to spend on women. A year is a long time to go without sex for a man in his early forties, and that flash of nubile breasts wakes something in me. Did she let her hair down and forgo the bra in order to offer an alternative way to improve her grade? An idea quickly forms in my mind as I ponder my options.
I'm not claiming to be any kind of supermodel or anything remotely close to that, but I know I'm fairly handsome. At well above average height and with broad shoulders, I can tower over most people. My strong chin and a neatly trimmed beard is usually enough to catch a woman's eye. The problem is mostly that I have to meet women for them to see me, something I've not done much aside from my twice weekly trips to the gym.
As opposed to most of my esteemed colleagues, I make a point of keeping my body in shape. I've found that long hours of reading manuscripts and articles benefits from a healthy body, not just a healthy mind. I had hoped I could perhaps meet someone at the gym when I started working out regularly after the divorce. However, my schedule only permits late evening workouts, and I'm usually one of only a few others there. Regardless, I stay in good shape, and with my height, I can strike an imposing figure if I want.
Rachel rises, her bag slung across her chest. The strap forces the fabric to stretch taut over her bosom, and what a bosom it is! Before she sees me staring, I start rifling through the stack of ungraded tests to reinforce the illusion of a dismissal and she turns toward the door with dragging feet. Her skirt is too loose to tell the shape of her ass, but the swell of her hips hints at a well-rounded pair of globes. The kind that molds itself nicely to a big hand and makes for a good handle when thrusting into someone from behind. I find her test and draw it from the stack just as she reaches the door.
'However,' I say as she grips the door handle. 'I am afforded the option of giving students the opportunity to re-take tests, seeing as this is an internal test and not an official exam.' She whirls toward me, hope shining in her eyes. I can tell she's been crying and my heart almost reaches out to her, especially considering what I'm about to do to her. Almost.
'Do you mean it?' Her voice drips with hope.
'Yes, I mean it. I am willing to discard the results of this test.' I hold it up to her. 'And we could cover the curriculum with an oral examination instead, right now.' Her eyes flash with a hint of alarm, perhaps from the tone in my voice, or perhaps from the way my eyes drift down her body as I say it.
'An, oral exam? Right now?' Her voice trembles a little, and I experience a moment of doubt. Did I misjudge her intentions in coming here? I consider the way she has chosen to let her hair down. Her choice to forgo her bra, and who knows what else. She twists one knee a little, as if nervous, but her eyes take on a speculative look and my doubts vanish like cum licked from a red pair of lips. She knows exactly what she's doing.
'Yes,' I say and rise slowly, giving her time to properly appreciate exactly how tall and big I am. 'I have a few hours available to me, and I can set aside the time to hear you in the curriculum, right now.'
Her eyes flicker quickly to my bulging groin, my hard cock clearly outlined by my pants. She tracks me like a cornered deer as I walk towards her, every move calculatedly slow so as to not spook her. When I draw close, her head tilts back a little, lips parting a fraction. Instead of leaning in for the kiss she obviously expects, I brush past her and lock the door.
Standing behind her, I let one finger gently trace the nape of her neck. She shudders, and from my vantage point, I can see straight down her cleavage. When did she have time to open more buttons? I gently sweep her hair back and admire the swell of her breasts as she subtly pushes them forward. The thin fabric of the white blouse molds itself to her magnificent chest, her nipples poking out like small grapes caught beneath the fabric. I lean down and put my mouth close to her ear.
'The subject of the test was Human Anatomy, correct?' She nods.
'We will start with naming the parts of the body. Your body. When I touch you, you will name the part I am touching and its function.' Again, a nod. Her breathing is quick and shallow, and her nipples are impossibly even harder. I grab the strap of her bag and slowly start removing it from across her chest. When the strap catches on her nipple, she hisses with an indrawn breath at the touch.
'Let's put this down, shall we?'
'Yes, thank you.' Her voice is weak and breathy with a hint of a stammer.
'Now,' I take her hand in both of mine and touch the tip of her forefinger. 'Name the bones in the hand, starting from the thumb towards the pinky.' She rattles them off, missing a few but gets them mostly correct.
'Very good, and what muscles control the hand?' Again, she names each of them, explaining which fingers they attach to. I hold her hand out to the side as she flexes each finger and showing the muscles. My thumb slowly strokes the inside of her wrist as she talks and I can see her pulse quicken in the vein there.
I work my way up her arm, telling her to name the muscles as I probe her soft flesh. The tension in the room builds as I draw closer to her shoulder. Her blouse around her arm is loose enough for me to stick my fingers underneath as I point to the muscles there before rotating her shoulder.
'Can you name the ligaments and tendon surrounding the shoulder socket?' She stumbles a little over a few of the latin names, mixing up some of them, but that might be because I let my hand drift towards her clavicle.
'That's the clavicle,' she says with a faint voice. 'It connects the shoulder to the breast bone.'
'Excellent. And how many pairs of rib bones do we have?'
'Twelve, Sir.'
'Very good, but let's count to be sure. Raise your arms.' She raises her arms, exposing her midriff and pulling her breasts together. I glance down at her cleavage and imagine how those soft breasts will look as I slide my cock between them. All in good time.
I slowly count her ribs as my fingers walk down them until my palms are resting on her bared waist. I slide my hands forward and up, noting the hard nub of a piercing in her navel, before resting them on her upper abdomen, right below her breasts.
'And what important part divides the chest from the abdomen?'
