If you don’t fit me into your schedule, I’ll have to punish you.

As if it knew I was thinking about it, my ass settled more comfortably in my desk chair.

In that case, maybe I won’t fit you in.
I like a good spanking.

I recall.
I feel like I would be remiss in forgetting to mention that we must keep this—whatever this is—between us. And be as discreet as possible.
Furthermore, as unpleasant as it is for me to say this, I feel compelled to let you know that our trysts will not influence your grade in my class.

Are you telling me I won’t get extra credit for giving you a blow job? Bummer.

I think you should know my stance on extra credit by now. But no, a blow job will get you five gold stars.

Nothing. Bragging rights? Except you can’t brag about this, so you’ll have to settle for my enthusiastic appreciation.

Adele. I hope you sleep well.
I still smell you on my skin. I’m not showering tonight.

The rest of the week was more emails. They were always more sexual immediately after class, as I’d spent the entire hour wound up tight, struggling to look at him as my teacher and not the man who’d just given me two outstanding orgasms.

Do you know how hard it is to listen to you talk for an hour and not let my mind wander to what I’d rather employ your lips to do?

I have a feeling it’s similar in difficulty to avoiding your eye contact all throughout class.
I smelled your perfume when I came into class.

Did you have to wear those fucking shoes to class?

Smiling, I stripped down to nothing but my thong and the red high-heels. Standing with my back to my full-length mirror, I looked over my shoulder at my reflection and took a photo. It was a full back shot, from the heels he was cursing up to my long blonde locks hanging down my back. I attached it to my email and sent it along.

I did. Maybe I can wear them while you fuck me.

Jesus. Do you even know how beautiful you are?

The comment caught me off guard, but warmed me up inside of my cold apartment. I’d ignored Leo’s call earlier that day, choosing instead to delay the inevitable. And I was so very impatient to see Nathaniel again, outside of class.
The thought made me compose my next email.

You know, when I sent that first email to you a month ago, when I’d asked about extra credit? The first draft of the email had said this:
Please bend me over your desk and fuck me until it hurts.

My answer is yes.
