“For what?”
I hummed, but I didn’t answer that question. She had no idea what I was talking about, but as the dream fully absorbed me and sucked me in, I pretended she did. And I pretended it was enough—enough to keep me here with her for a lifetime.
I heard her sigh, and then I was gone, holding her in another place just as I was holding her in this place. It was such a beautiful world with her in it.
I woke her up when I stuck my tongue up her ass. Actually, she’d been trying to wake up and resisting it the entire time as I’d kissed my way down her back. Her furthest leg was pulled up, opening her cheeks and exposing that tight little ring of muscles and the puckered little hole. Unfortunately for her overly modest self, this meant I couldn’t keep my tongue to myself.
I spread her cheeks farther apart and gave her no chance to react as I leaned to her and put my mouth on that private place and pushed my tongue against the opening. She instantly squirmed and gasped as she pushed up to her elbows and craned her neck back to see me. I pulled back, smirking at her.
“Don’t stop me,” I said as I watched her. “You wanted to be pushed, so let me push.”
She stared back at me, her eyes wide and horrified. When I licked my lips, her brow flinched, and then her eyes widened even farther.
“Please don’t fucking stop me, baby,” I whispered. I looked back down to where my mouth had just been. I could feel the tension in her ass cheeks as she tried to shut me out, but I was holding her open, waiting.
She nodded, still looking mortified.
“Just relax. Put your head down, close your eyes, and just feel.”
She nodded again, and when she looked away, she did as I asked. Her forehead dropped to the mattress as she pushed her pillow away, and I watched as she clutched the fitted sheet in her hands at her shoulders. I couldn’t say she was relaxed, but it was a start.
I licked again, and her cheeks flinched once before they relaxed their tension. When I pressed the tip of my tongue to that tight ring of muscles, it gave way slowly but surely. I pushed in, and she groaned against the bedding. I thrust for a moment before pulling back and licking over and around her anus.
I bit her butt cheek moments before I crawled up next to her and collapsed on my side. I trailed the palm of my hand up the back of her thigh, and when she turned her face to look at me, I smiled.
“I’m not done yet.”
She gasped when I pushed my finger slowly in, and she dropped her forehead to the mattress again as I chuckled. My penetration was ridiculously slow, and I watched the side of her face as she panted with her lips nearly touching the mattress. When her long bangs fell down along her temple, blocking my view of her face, I reached my free hand over, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her fists were still balled in the sheets just above and outside her shoulders.
“How does that feel?” I was still pressing slowly in with my middle finger, and her muscles were tightly clenching around me.
“Strange,” she whispered.
“Good strange or bad strange?”
She turned her face to look at me. “Good.”
I smiled at her. “Do you want to know what I feel?”
“Yes.” Her voice was breathless, and when I started thrusting in and out slowly and gently, her mouth dropped open and she closed her eyes.
“You feel incredibly tight and incredibly soft. You can’t imagine how soft the skin is.”
She visibly shuddered, and when I abruptly sat up and slowly pulled my finger from her, her eyes flew open, and she panted. It was disappointment.
I smirked at her as I pushed off the bed. I crouched down beside the bed at her eye level. “Will I see you tonight?”
She groaned this exasperated and disappointed sound. “No. I have a faculty dinner tonight that I’m dreading. I’d take you, but…”
“But you’re not really allowed to date your students much less let them lick your asshole for a good grade?”
She smiled shyly. “Something like that.”
“If you need me to drop out of your class because things get … complicated for you, will you tell me?”
“I don’t want you to drop out. I like having you in my class.”
I nodded. “I like being there, too. But I’d rather be here doing this, than sitting in your classroom any time.”
“It’s fine.”
“Okay. Maybe I’ll see you tomorrow then. I have a tile delivery coming in an hour, and I’m going to jump in your shower before I leave, seeing as my bathroom is torn to pieces right now.” I bit my lip and winked at her, and as I walked out, she sighed.
