“Nice to meet you,” Jack said. “I think I’ve seen you around campus before.”
Tessa smiled. “Probably. I tried to get into your social theories class last semester, but it was full. I did sit in on the first class, though.”
I couldn’t remember if I’d told Jack the student’s name—did he know that it was Tessa? I glanced at him and saw that he was putting two and two together, the look of discomfort on his face growing.
“Maybe next time,” he mumbled.
“Yeah, hopefully I’ll register in time!” she said, laughing, oblivious to his discomfort.
I patted his shoulder. “Jack’s a great teacher.”
“I’ve got to use the bathroom,” Tessa said. “And then I really should get going. Can I leave my backpack here?”
She slid off the bar stool, and I felt her hand on my knee. She squeezed it once, gave me a look, and then sauntered off in the direction of the restrooms. I could still see her as she opened the door to the unisex bathroom—it was a single, there weren’t stalls. She gave me another look before she opened the door and went in.
“Don’t,” Jack said when he saw me looking that way. “For the love of God, Leo, don’t.”
“That beer just ran right through me,” I said, getting up from the stool. “I’ll be right back.”
There wasn’t anything he could have said to me right then to make me not follow her into the bathroom. I didn’t even care if there were other people from the school there watching, though I hadn’t seen anyone when we first arrived. I tried the door knob, and it twisted open. I let myself in and then locked the door behind me.
“You forgot to lock the door,” I said. “Anyone could’ve followed you in here.”
She came over to me and my arms encircled her waist. Her mouth was hot against mine, her teeth grazing my lower lip.
“I was hoping you’d come,” she said breathlessly against my mouth as we kissed. I ran my hands down to her ass; the thin material stretched tightly. I squeezed her, then slapped her lightly, then a little harder because I could tell she liked it. She groaned and let her head fall back, and I pushed her shirt and her bra up, licking her nipples until they were hard little points. My dick felt like it was about to explode, and I fumbled with the button, then the fly, before I was able to yank them down. She pushed her own pants and underwear down around her ankles, and she turned and leaned against the sink. I held onto her hips and slid my dick into her from behind, ignoring the knock on the door.
“Be out in a minute!” she said breathlessly, and I reached up and grabbed her ponytail, pulling her head back a bit so her back arched, my dick sliding in even further. I could see her face in the mirror as I fucked her, the way she was biting on her lower lip, her brow furrowed, and then her face scrunching up as her muscles contracted around me and she got closer to coming. I didn’t ease off at all like I normally would have when I felt myself get this close; instead, I rode that wave from start to finish and let it crest, uninterrupted. I wanted to watch our reflections, but it was like a reflex, and I squeezed my eyes shut as I came, rainbow fireworks exploding behind my eyelids. We were both gasping, and my whole body was tingling. She turned and put her arms around my neck, and I held her while we got our breath back.
“That was quite unexpected,” I said.
She smiled. “I know.”
Luckily, there was no one out there waiting when we emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later. Jack was still sitting there at the bar, drinking what appeared to be his third beer.
“I better get going,” Tessa said. “I’m already late to meet up with Lindsey. It was cool running into you. Nice to meet you, too,” she added to Jack. “Thanks for watching my backpack.”
“Um, sure, don’t mention it,” Jack said. He was barely able to wait until she was gone. “Are you out of your mind, Leo?” he hissed. “You’re lucky there’s no one here right now from the school! What the hell was that?”
God, I felt good, and none of Jac
k’s frantic, paranoid energy could bring that down. “That,” I said, looking to the door where Tessa had just left, “is the reason why I love my job.”
He stared at me. “Did you just . . .? Did the two of you . . .?”
“Do what you think we just did? Well, I’m not sure what’s going on in that mind of yours, Jack. But it’s safe to say that yes, we probably did do whatever it is you’re thinking.”
“Leo, you are insane. You are being completely reckless right now! Anyone could’ve just walked right in and seen you!”
“That’s why we locked the door. Though someone did knock.”
He covered his face with his hands. “I can’t believe you,” he said. “And I can’t believe her! Did she plan on doing that? What is wrong with students these days? My God!”
“Settle down. You’re the one who’s going to be causing a scene. Listen, Jack,” I said, dropping my voice, “she didn’t do anything she didn’t want to, and I didn’t either. We’re both adults, and we’re both enjoying the hell out of what we’ve got going on right now. You’re sitting here crying over the fact that your students aren’t interested in what you’ve got to say, while I’ve got one who can’t keep her hot little hands off of me. If I had to choose to be one of us right now, you want to guess who I’d pick?”
He kept his hands over his face as he shook his head. “No,” he said. “No, I don’t, and I don’t think we should talk about this anymore.”
Two days later, feature writing class. Part of me felt like a kid on Christmas morning, I was so impatient for class to start.
