"I'm not exactly the marrying kind," Professor Hudson said, pouring two fingers of whisky into each glass before replacing the decanter on the bar. He turned and offered a glass to Paul, this semester's teaching assistant. The boy, flanked on either side by neat stacks of term papers, accepted the glass with the deference owed to such a rare luxury. The Professor was often giving him little treats, making him feel welcome, trusting him to grade essays and homework while allowing him to stay in the spare bedroom.
"Have you been with a lot of women?" Paul asked.
Professor Hudson smiled. "My fair share. Why do you ask?" He lit a cigarette and let it linger on his lips before inhaling. He let his gaze drift down Paul's body, to the growing bulge in the boy's trousers.
"You just seem... really experienced. Like I could talk to you about sex stuff without it being uncomfortable."
An opportunity presented itself. Professor Hudson strode over to the desk and stood next to it. His pelvis was eye-level with Paul's face. He looked down at Paul, who broke eye contact to stare longingly at his crotch.
"Paul."
The boy looked up.
"Do I make you uncomfortable?"
Paul bit his lower lip and slipped his fingers into Hudson's belt line, unbuckling the leather and unbuttoning his fly.
"No," uttered the boy as he grabbed the professor's hard bulge through the fabric of his boxer shorts. The older man took a satisfied drag off his cigarette, having known all along that eventually it would come to this.
There was a knock on the door.
Paul jumped up to answer it while Professor Hudson stuffed his shirt back into his pants and buttoned up. On the doorstep stood Mona, Paul's girlfriend. Buxom and brunette, she strutted into the foyer uninvited but welcome. She set her purse on the coffee table and spat her gum into a wastepaper basket.
"How's it hanging, fellas?" she asked with a flirting grin.
"Don't you have bible study on Wednesdays?" Professor Hudson asked.
"Skipped it," Mona said, batting her eyelashes. "A little birdy told me somebody was going to be making a move tonight and I didn't want to miss it."
The professor's jaw dropped, Paul played it cool.
