Professor Jenny Taylor stood on the shore and watched the boat come in, the wind catching her dark curls. The ship usually brought necessities to her marine field station about once a week, but this time it was bringing something different. On board that boat were five of her former college students.
She had invited them there to give them the type of course she felt they deserved. It had been frustrating to teach marine biology without leaving the class room, but the tight budget of her university hadn't allowed for a single excursion. Admittedly, it probably would have been lost on most of the students, but the group she now awaited was a particularly brilliant bunch. Even with limited resources, she had managed to spark an interest within them and she was pleased to know all of them had gone on to pursue careers within her field. She strongly felt that hard work should be rewarded, and had offered them the opportunity of a tailored course at her field station.
The pristine location would have been enough reason to accept this unique invitation, but a course like this would also look good on their CV:s. Jenny Taylor was a big name in marine biology, famous for both her passion and outstanding analytical mindset. She knew they idolized her, but at least it was honest appreciation and not empty flattery.
She felt increasingly excited as the boat came closer. A year had passed since their graduation and it would be nice to see them again. She genuinely cared for this group and felt that she had developed a special bond with them. Maybe it was because they were the first class she had taught after becoming a professor, but she also found them all to be smart and ambitious, qualities that she respected. She knew this course was a good idea and felt that it would be nice to have them around.
As the boat got closer, she could spot "the twins" in the bow. The two were similar in many aspects, both of them average height, athletic body type and short hair, but with Dave being bright blonde and Eric black, the nickname was partially ironic. They always hung out together and back when she was their teacher, she had rarely seen one without the other. They shared a competitive mentality, and she recalled how they always seemed to try to outdo each other in anything they did. She smiled as they jumped ashore, raising to be the first to tie up their side of the boat.
As the twins secured the boat, Camilla and Miguel disembarked, walking hand in hand. The blonde girl still wore her signature hairdo, with plaits on each side. They were both exactly as Jenny remembered them - Camilla walking slightly before Miguel, dragging along her devoted boyfriend. Jenny had always felt that he would follow Camilla around the world, and from what she understood, that's exactly what he had done since graduation.
"Hello Ms. Taylor, so good to see you again!" Camilla said in her unmistakable Norwegian accent and greeted her former teacher with a warm hug.
"Likewise, Camilla," Jenny said and accepted the embrace. Such informal behavior wouldn't have been acceptable back at the university, but here it seemed like the natural thing to do.
"Hi Ms. Taylor," Miguel said. Following his girlfriend's lead, he too hugged Jenny. "Thank you so much for inviting us here."
"Hello Miguel. I like the beard," Jenny said and she meant it. It was dark and thick, giving the young man a more mature look.
"Yeah, I told him he had to grow one if he was going to make it in this business," Camilla said and giggled, looking up at him through her long blonde lashes.
"It also protects against the cold," Miguel said and smiled. The couple were both exchange students, and Camilla had asked him to move back to Norway with her after graduation. It obviously required a bit of adaptation for the Spanish young man.
Before Jenny could inquire more, she noticed the twins running over. With the boat secured, it seemed they both now wanted to be the next in line for hugging their former teacher. It was a tie, and neither of them was prepared to yield. Jenny laughed at their awkward embrace, but in back of her head, she registered what great shape they were in. Undeniably, it felt good to have two hot guys pressed against her.
And Jenny was herself an appealing target to embrace. As she usually would around the research station, Jenny was wearing khaki shorts and a tight fitted shirt that showed off her hourglass figure. The endless amount of time spent in the water kept her in great shape. She had always had a curvy body, and these features had become further accentuated with age. Approaching 40, her tits weren't as high on her chest as they had been when she was 20, but they were ample and round. Likewise, her ass had got a bit bigger, but she didn't mind. Its full shape actually fitted perfectly with the image of her as the impressive woman she knew she was.
She had to pat the guys' backs to signal that it was time to let go.
"So, did you manage to lose Phillip?" she asked, but just as she said it she could see him walking off the boat, looking flustered.
"Welcome," she said. "Glad you could make it."
"Sorry, I was preparing this presentation and didn't notice we were arriving," he said.
"No worries," she said. "We're apparently hugging here today, so you get one too." His face turned from stressed to pleasantly surprised as she invited him in for a hug.
She had to stand on her toes to reach around the neck of the tall young man. She remembered him as the shy and quiet of the group, and while his thick-framed glasses still made him look quite nerdy, she could tell that the past year had done him good. He seemed a bit more certain of himself and had buffed up quite a bit since she last saw him, making him far less lanky then she remembered him.
In fact, the whole group seemed to be in good shape. They were all the outdoorsy type, and she couldn't help noticing that they were all quite fit. She couldn't help thinking that this was another reason she would enjoy having them around.
"All right," she said after some chit-chat. "You're only here for two weeks, so we better make the most of it. Go unpack and we'll meet in the lecture room in 30 minutes."
She had asked them all to prepare a presentation on what they were working on. Even though it was a small crowd and knew each other well, they all seemed rather nervous. It was obvious they were really directing their talks at her rather than the group, and she could tell they were all trying to make a good impression. The way they idolized her hadn't changed since they last met.
Each of her former students gave short speech, and she was delighted to hear all about their ongoing projects.
"Thank you," she said after the last presentation. "I really enjoyed all your talks, and I'm looking forward to our weeks together."
The students all looked pleased, cherishing her approval. She went on to give them the schedule, explaining how they were going to focus on excursions in the beginning and then do more theoretical work towards the end, putting what they had found into perspectives. She also told them she would give them a test at the end.
"I'm sure you're tired after the trip here, so go get a good night's sleep," she said as she wrapped things up. "We start early in the morning, and we're going scuba diving to study the ecosystem on a nearby reef, so make sure you bring your wetsuits."
The students all shared a room of bunk-beds next to Jenny's private room. She heard them laughing and chatting, and could tell they were all really excited to have been invite for the course. They were in a festive mood and she guessed that they were sharing a few drinks. She couldn't make out all they were saying, but she overheard them talking about her, saying how stoked they all were to have her as a teacher again for the week. She smiled as she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, she met them at the beach. She had instructed them to pack the boat, and because they were so eager to please her, they were already done when she arrived. They were sitting around in their wetsuits waiting for her as she arrived. She wore her khaki clothes over her bikini and quickly realized she would have to strip down there in front of them. She could tell the whole group was looking at her, trying but not succeeding at being discrete about it.
Jenny was accustomed to wearing her bikini in public and generally didn't think much about it, knowing she had nothing to be ashamed of. But disrobing in front of her students was somehow different and it felt like it would take away a formal distinction between her as a teacher and her students. Her first thought was to go away and get changed elsewhere but she decided not to. On a course like this, it was inevitable that the students would see her in a bikini. The small talk among the students ended quickly as she started unbuttoning her shirt, curious to see more of their adored teacher.
"Did you all sleep well?" she asked, sounding casual as she undid the last button of her shirt.
