Mr. Black was well into his experiments when he got a call from the administration office requesting his presence at a meeting with the Vice Chancellor. Mrs. James was a stickler for punctuality, among other things, so Mr. Black arrived early and was dressed impeccably.
After Mr. Black was ushered into her office by her assistant, Mrs. James entered through a side door and shook his hand. They had each worked at the school for quite some time, and she was always taken with Mr. Black's handsome bigness. She was a relatively small woman, height wise, and looking up at a big man always triggered something in her, something that she liked, even though the modern feminist in her tried to snuff it out.
After the handshake she sat down on her leather desk chair, her slightly plump body shifting nervously as she tried to get comfortable.
"Mr. Black, it's come to my attention that your current research is of a...sexual nature, is that correct?"
"Not entirely," Mr. Black said. "It's looking into our instincts, and how our primitive instincts manifest themselves."
"So you're not studying sex?"
"No Mrs. James, I'm studying instinct."
"Are you planning on publishing your results?"
"Yes, the research has been quite eye opening. I'm already working on my preliminary findings, and I'm quite certain I'll publish eventually."
"And the people that you're observing, they come from the school?"
"Yes, they're carefully chosen, and all sign confidentiality agreements. Everything's very much on the up and up. May I ask, has there been a complaint?"
"No, no, nothing like that. I just like to keep track of these types of things. You can't be too careful with all the lawyers roaming around these days. I just happened upon the minutes of the last board meeting where your work was discussed, and I wasn't quite sure what was happening. Thought I'd get myself up to speed as it were."
"Oh yes, very good," Mr. Black said. "This may be a bit out of the ordinary, but if you'd like, you could participate. You might find it enlightening."
"Well, as you know Mr. Black, I come from the science end of the academic spectrum, so yes, that does sound like it might be an enjoyable way to spend part of my day. It's always good to get one's finger on the pulse of things."
Mrs. James checked her schedule with her assistant, and a two hour window was found on Friday of that week.

"My, this is a nice bright space isn't it?" Mrs. James said as she walked into Mr. Black's big room. "How nice to be able to see the students lounging on the lawn."
"Mrs. James, if you wouldn't mind, I'll have you sign the confidentiality agreement before we begin."
"Of course, yes," she said, and she sat beside Mr. Black's desk and read it over. "Even my husband's out of the loop I see." Mrs. James signed her name and looked around. "So, are these experiments always one-on-one?"
"No, there's been one with three, and one with five. I've participated in two of them myself. One of those was one-on-one. I've been trying to set up different situations. I though you might be more comfortable one-on-one, since there will be nudity involved."
"Nudity?" a surprised looking Mrs. James said. "Mr. Black, I thought you said your experiments weren't sexual in nature."
"I said not entirely. I'm not studying sex, per se. I'm studying human instinct. And please Mrs. James, if any of this makes you uncomfortable and you wish to leave, I understand completely."
"Yes, well, I guess I don't completely understand what you're doing here. Let's proceed so I can get a feel for things."
Mr. Black stood up from his desk chair and started to disrobe.
"You may disrobe with me, or wait if you wish, but we'll both need to be unclothed in order to proceed."
"Both. You and I," she said as Mr. Black's shirt came off. His smooth, powerful chest drew her gaze.
Mr. Black was silent as he unfastened his pants and slid them down his legs, taking his boxer shorts with them over his already bare feet. He stood naked as he picked up his clipboard and began taking notes.
Mrs. James was stunned and couldn't seem to move a muscle, even to talk. The sight of the most beautiful man she had ever seen naked left her paralyzed and mesmerized.
"Shall we proceed Mrs. James?"
"I...I'm...not sure it's proper Mr. Black. I should probably go..."
Mrs. James stood up slowly, trying to look somewhere other than Mr. Black's body, but she couldn't seem to stop admiring it.
"If you could just give me a few observations, the session will be of some use," Mr. Black said.
"Observations?"
"Yes, tell me your feelings."
"I feel the Vice Chancellor shouldn't be seeing you...this way."
"Put aside your job Mrs. James, and remember your scientific background. As a human being, what are your feelings."
"Well, my scientific background never saw...anything like...what I'm seeing. It's very warm in here Mr. Black."
"I keep it slightly elevated so you'll be more comfortable when you disrobe."
"When I disrobe. Yes, I almost forgot about that. You seem to be taking lots of notes."
"Nothing unusual Mrs. James, I assure you. Shall we proceed?"
"I really don't think I should."
"Alright Mrs. James. I'm afraid I won't be able to let you observe without participating though."
"Yes...that's a shame...I am curious. Even more so know. So...I would have to disrobe. Completely Mr. Black?"
