By the end of the second trimester, Ramesh had become one of the most popular guys in his batch. He still kept his grades up, second only to Gayatri.
His fashion sense had improved, thanks to all the designer clothes the girls got him from the money they bid for his 'auction'. His body had also become toned from all the exercises he had been made to do. From a shy, nerdy guy with a simple hair-cut, he had been transformed into a hipster, with a trendy hairstyle, designer clothes and expensive sneakers.
The girls in GH became quite fond of their 'pet', and hung out with him all the time. Outside of the GH, he was treated like a cool friend, in class and at the canteen, thereby making him the subject of envy among the other guys.
The girls had banned the entry of other guys into their hostel. Ramesh was the only guy who was going to the GH every night. Gossip swirled around the Boys' Hostel that he was sleeping with two-three girls at a time. Ramesh had learnt not to make any
harmless quips
, so they didn't get much fodder from him. The girls had agreed to make him look like the alpha male of the batch, as an inside joke, so they even encouraged the gossip with more titbits from their side. Gayatri was initially relieved that she was no longer subject to malicious gossip since multiple girls were being linked with Ramesh in the campus grapevine.
All this attention went to Ramesh's head and he started strutting around the campus like a peacock. He still had to do his naked slave duties every night at the GH, but his behaviour in class during the day became more and more obnoxious over time.
Things didn't erupt till he made the mistake of stealing the limelight from Gayatri again. It was a routine case study presentation, and their group had prepared an excellent presentation. He had prepared all the slides as usual, and handed over carefully prepared speaker notes to his three mistresses. Gayatri had divvied up the presentation wherein Mallika would introduce the case study, Priyanka would explain the background work they had done and she herself would get to present the analysis and key takeaways, the strong point of the presentation. She had informed Ramesh that he would simply summarize the conclusion without adding any new points, making it seem that he was the slacker in the group.
All was going according to plan till the Professor asked a tricky question. It required a nuanced answer referring to multiple sections of the case study, and since none of the three girls had read the case study, they all fumbled. Ramesh decided to step up and gave an excellent answer that drew an appreciative thump on the desk by the Professor. "Looks like only one guy has understood the case study here. Gayatri, I expect better preparation from you as the batch topper. Time to pull your socks up," the Prof had remarked.
Gayatri was fuming internally, but managed to respond, "Yes Prof," with a straight face. She then turned towards Ramesh and shot him a look, one that made him shiver internally and dread meeting her that night.
As he entered her room that night, stripped off and went down on all fours, she said, "You have been getting too big for your boots, eh? It's time I taught you your place. Crawl on your stomach, you worm, no more hands and knees."
Ramesh went flat on his stomach, his hard penis pressed against the cold, hard floor. He lifted himself on his elbows and crawled forward, dragging the lower half of his body along the floor.
"I said
