MASON ACKER

One… two… three… four… five… six… seven.

For whom did the bell toll?

Perhaps, I thought with a chuckle, it tolled for me. After all, it was seven in the evening, well after my last class of the day, and I was still sitting in my office, plowing through a series of English papers for one of my freshman classes. It was taking forever.

I could have been like most of my colleagues and done the work at home. More than once I’d gotten a memo or note from someone with a smear of ketchup or ringlet of wine on a corner. But for most of this semester, I didn’t want to work at home.

It wasn’t that Griff or Indy were bad housemates. If anything, they were too good as roommates, if that was even possible. Instead of spending all my time in the guest cottage out back, only going into the main house to do laundry on the weekends, I was continually tempted to hang out with them. Even when I had other things to do.

It was just too easy. We’d sit around for hours on the porch, or in Griff’s living room if the weather was bad, talking. Sometimes they were serious talks, where the three of us discussed and debated issues of the day. Other times, we’d just flap our gums. Having a three man Super Bowl party the previous year had been a blast. It was awesome having friends like that, something I hadn’t had in a long time.

But friendships didn’t get my papers graded. And while I knew Griff and Indy both had ‘regular’ assignments for their students, they had more time to hang out at the house and chill while I slogged my way through essays.

I was trying to force myself through another student’s paper, when there was a knock on my office door. I looked up, blinking against the darkness of my office outside my desk lamp. I hadn’t even noticed the sun go down.

“Yes?” I called.

“Professor Acker… it’s me, Jessa Carr.”

Shit.

I knew what protocol said. It was outside office hours, outside business hours even, and she was an attractive female student while I was alone in my office. I should have told her to come back the next day, when I was ‘safe.’

But those concerns evaporated as I remembered the pain in her eyes when she fumbled through her speech earlier in the day… and the feeling of her kiss the week before.

I took a deep breath. I was taking a calculated risk. “Come in, Jessa.”

I was expecting the professionally-outfitted Jessa who flubbed her speech that afternoon. I had no idea who’d dressed her like that, but it plain hadn’t worked. Instead of giving her the confidence she thought she lacked, it had made her lose her stride. But now, the girl who came through my door was the real thing. She was wearing a satin bustier top that left her already curvy body dramatically more voluptuous, with her narrow waist flaring out to sexy hips clad in black denim.
