The lecture was as dull as the lecturer was hot, though her beauty was contained within a mask of severity. Julia had long given up listening to the words, but the music of Dr Svensson's voice with its lilting Swedish cadence was mesmerising. Julia wanted to melt into her, become her, make love to her... though not once had she seen any hint of attraction in those piercing blue eyes. Never had she seen herself the warmth so clear in the photograph of Dr Svensson and her husband that hung on the wall in the lecturer's office.
Julia had to content herself with lustful fantasies, imagining herself, perhaps, bent over Dr Svensson's desk and given a thorough spanking for her failure to pay attention in class.
But Julia disliked thinking of herself. Far more exciting to imagine being Dr Svensson and using that beautifully athletic body the way the goddess intended. Julia watched her striding back and forth, talking with a baffling passion about numbers, of all things.
Julia could almost feel the silk dress shirt against her arms, the wool of the charcoal trousers against her thighs. Smiling to herself, she imagined herself as Dr Svensson, unbuttoning her top button to tease Julia and her classmates.
Her eyes widened as reality mirrored fantasy. Without pausing in her explanation of the product rule, whatever that was, Dr Svensson's hands unfastened that very same button Julia's eyes were fixed on.
The glimpse of breasts, the edge of a white vest or bra, was intensely erotic. Julia saw two boys at the front whispering in sudden excitement. Dr Svensson frowned at them. "Do you have something to share with the class?"
They shook their heads, and she continued with her rules and differentiations. Julia's heart was hammering. She felt sure she was the cause of the button's sudden release. She tried projecting more commands: "Do the next one!" and so on - but nothing.
With a wistful sigh, Julia made an attempt to follow what was now being said about the chain rule, thinking there were far better uses for chains than calculus, which she'd hated at school and hated even more now, except that she got to watch Dr Svensson glide about in front of her. Again, imagining herself as the lecturer, she could almost feel the constriction of the bra, the tight elastic of the knickers. The desire to be free of clothing, starting with this next button.
Again Julia was jolted out of the fantasy by the startling coincidence of Dr Svensson undoing a button, still apparently unaware of having done anything. Around Julia, the whole class was awake as never before, staring at the open 'v' in the lecturer's shirt. "It's me doing it," Julia whispered. The itching arousal of boredom transformed into an urgent heat, desire pulsing hungrily within her.
This time she had a better sense of what she needed to do. It wasn't about projecting commands, it was about becoming one with Dr Svensson and doing it to herself. Still, it took a few minutes to get the hang of it, her own fundamental disbelief fighting against her, but one by one she undid the buttons of Dr Svensson's shirt, the whole class watching spellbound.
Not that anything much was revealed beyond the vest. While Dr Svensson wrote trigonometric functions on the board, Julia focussed on the feel of the jacket, how tight it was, uncomfortable, too warm. Stupid to wear a jacket indoors in such heat. Off. Take it off. The shirt too. Don't want to get ink on it...
For the first time, as she held the shirt in her hands, Dr Svensson looked confused about what was happening. Julia could sense the questions bubbling in the back of her mind, but pushed them firmly away. Dr Svensson shrugged after a moment, laid the shirt over her jacket on the back of the chair, and returned to the board to resume her discussion of the tangent.
Any guilt Julia felt lost out to her curiosity - her curiosity to see how far she could push this manipulation, but also her curiosity to see Dr Svensson unclothed. Could she take it even further still? Laughing, she said to herself, "Baby steps, Julia. Baby steps."
Next she concentrated on the vest, a simple garment, and cheap. Very unflattering. It made her feel self-conscious. And it's not like she was ashamed to show off her body... Several times, Julia had Dr Svensson on the edge of removing it, only to lose her hold on the lecturer's mind. Dr Svensson was breathing heavily, and anger glinted in her eyes, but not directed at anyone in particular, more a general accusation levied at the entire class.
