Chapter 3 – Jasper's Lesson
A/N - Thank you for all the follows/faves and reviews so far. I especially appreciate those with keen eyes noting a few errors in my last chapter. As I noted in Chapter 1, I'm flying without a beta for this fic, so I'm not all surprised I failed in counting my characters. I will try to do better and go back to fix mistakes after I get through the rest of what I've got planned. In the meantime, class is in session...
The next few classes were more traditional lectures. Despite having predominantly self-serving reasons for designing this course, I fully intended to prepare my students to be excellent therapists as well.
It wasn't until several weeks later that I stopped Bella as she was leaving the lecture hall.
"Ms. Swan, I'll require you to wear a skirt for our next lesson," I told her, loud enough for the others to hear.
She gave me the fucking eye-brow raise again. "I didn't realize that there was a dress code for the class, Professor."
"As I told you at the beginning of the semester, you really should read any document carefully before signing it," I replied.
Bella didn't respond but I was sure she would follow my instructions. Compared to what I had asked her to do the first class, requesting that she alter her usual uniform of baggy jeans was hardly a challenge.
I didn't bother waiting to make a grand entrance, but arrived in the lecture hall ten minutes early for the next class. I was unsurprised to see Jake, Emmett, Mike and Jasper had all beaten me there. I nodded to them but didn't reveal anything about the upcoming lesson as I set down my briefcase and began looking over notes. All but Jasper would doubtlessly be rather upset with me by the end of the next hour, but I'd make it up to each of them.
Bella entered the room exactly a minute before the class started.
"Thank you for joining us Ms. Swan," I said looking up at the sound of her stumbling into her seat. "You were nearly late."
"I believe that nearly late is called on time, Professor Masen," she replied. "But, then, I'm not an English major, so perhaps I'm mistaken."
I didn't bother to suppress my chuckle this time, and was rewarded by the smallest upturn of her luscious lips. I wondered to myself how long she'd be smiling as I locked the door to the entrance hall.
"We will have a practicum today. And, this will be a departure from our first experiment, as we will introduce a variable into the proceedings. As anyone with an Internet connection or television subscription will likely know, the pornography industry is a multi-million dollar business. Many believe its success is in the promise of intimacy, yet the paradox is that most porn is consumed in solitude."
Five sets of eyes were trained on me. No one responded, but I could imagine their brains whirring as they tried to figure out where I was going with this information.
"I've prepared a collection of professional pornography for each of you to view for the next hour." I told them.
Under his breath I heard Mike mutter, "I thought that was our first lesson."
A faint haze of red appeared in my vision, and I spat through my teeth: "Mr. Newton, I will not have you disparage Ms. Swan by implying her role in our first experiment was in any way unscientific or impure." My eyes bored into him until he muttered out an apology.
"As I was saying," I continued. "You will each watch pornography for the next hour, but under different circumstances. Mr. Black, Mr. Newton and Mr. Cullen, you will each be in far corners of the room, facing the wall while you watch your presentations. Mr. Hale and Ms. Swan, you will be seated together and watch your presentation together here" I gestured to a wide and tall table near the front of the room."I ask that you all react to these images as you would if you were in private, as closely as possible. As we all know the nature of lab work is that nothing is ever completely natural."
The three I had ordered to go off by themselves retreated to far corners, grumbling slightly about not getting to be with Bella. Jasper tried to control his joy by putting on the manners of the southern gentleman he professed to be.
"I promise to keep my hands to myself," he whispered to her as she slid into the seat next to her.
"Only if you want a failing grade for Ms. Swan and yourself Mr. Hale," I told him in a whisper. Looking at each of them in turn, I continued in the same low volume. "As I said, you will be seated together. Or rather, Ms. Swan shall be seated on your lap for this experiment."
Bella showed no surprise. Rather, she kept her face impassive, but her eyes were burning as she met my gaze. Beside her, Jasper was sputtering.
"Pay close attention to your screens," I said loud enough to be heard by all the students. "I'll be sending a short retention quiz at the end of the lesson that you are expected to answer fully." The other three males were already engrossed in their blank computer monitors, unaware that I was giving Bella and Jasper further instruction.
"You can't be serious," Jasper said.
"Why wouldn't I be serious?" I asked in return. "You can't be afraid she'll be too heavy for you. Ms. Swan is practically a waif. And, I've made sure your table has plenty of room underneath."
Jasper stared at me and Bella in turn, waiting for one of us to say anything that would mean this wasn't going to happen. Bella's eyes were fixed on my face. She rose out of the second chair and lowered herself onto Jasper's legs without looking at him. He looked terrified to move a muscle, and kept his arms by his side.
I pushed my remote and fired up the shows I had prepared for the three groups. From the far end of the lecture hall, a discord of cheesy porn music came from Mike, Emmett and Jake's laptops. Jasper's was completely silent, however.
I walked around Jasper and Bella's table, then leaned against the wall nearby to observe. The simple table allowed me a clear view underneath their workspace. Bella's skirt had ridden up on her thighs just a little as she settled onto Jasper's lap. Her knees were clamped together, and a muscle was twitching in her thigh.
As I hit the computer's remote to start their show, surprise flew over Jasper's face as he read the message on his screen:
"You will not be watching any video. Instead, you will both be reading Mr. Hale's assessment of Ms. Swan's body from our first lesson."
Bella turned her familiar shade of pink, but Jasper was bright red. I clicked my remote again to advance to the next screen.
"In order to receive an A for today's lesson, Mr. Hale must bring Ms. Swan to orgasm using his fingers and the words he has already written."
Both students looked up from the computer. Jasper looked horrified. Bella's lips were turned up in a miniscule Cheshire smile.
I nodded back to their computer and advanced to the next message for them:
"I will know if there is any attempt to fool me with a false performance. If Mr. Hale does not manage to make Ms. Swan come, you will both receive an F- for today."
Jasper swallowed. He looked at Bella with an extremely apologetic expression, his eyes begging for forgiveness for even considering going through with this. Bella brought one of her hands up to his cheek and traced her fingers against his jaw, in an almost maternal gesture.
"It's okay, Jasper," she said. "I understand this isn't really something you would do. But, we both want a good grade. I give you my permission." Her voice was incredibly tender. As she spoke, I was sure she felt the bulge between Jasper's legs get larger.
Jasper stammered, "It's not that I don't want…"
I cleared my throat lightly, and they both looked back at the screen.
"I will help guide both of you. I encourage Mr. Hale to follow my instructions which will appear on the left side of the screen as his own words scroll on the right."
Jasper met Bella's eyes once more and they both nodded to each other.
I clicked to the next slide. "Mr. Hale – place your hand on the small of Ms. Swan's back, under her shirt. Feel how soft her skin is. Is it even softer than you imagined as you gazed on her?"
Jasper nodded slightly. I only noticed because the movement made Bella bobble a bit on his lap.
I advanced the presentation again. "Mr. Hale – blow out against the line of Ms. Swan's shirt to tickle the skin she has exposed by her lop cut top. This should raise a small line of goose flesh in Ms. Swan, assuming she is not completely frigid."
Bella's eyes flashed in anger and she met my gaze. I shook my finger at her in admonishment of breaking the rules of looking away from the monitor, than pointed back at the screen in front of them.
Jasper was too entranced by her cleavage to notice this small exchange. I adjusted the volume of their computer to make sure the sound of the next slide coming in would get him to look for the next instruction.
"Mr. Hale – wrap your left arm around Ms. Swan's waist and pull her body closer against yours. Now use your right index finger to trace the same line of her blouse. Feel how full her breasts are, how much softer her skin is here than on her back."
Bella's tongue darted out of her mouth and she licked her lips. She was staring at the screen. I knew that she was mesmerized by my instructions far more than Mr. Hale's descriptions of her supple form. Her head fell back and pleasure spread across her face and Jasper's fingers explored the tops of her milky white breasts.
Jasper's eyes darted back to the screen, now eager to do more. I clicked ahead to the next screen. "Dip your finger into the cup of her bra until you reach her nipple."
It took me a second to manage the presentation I had prepared for two possibilities at this point.
The next screen read, "Mr. Hale - Nod if you find Ms. Swan's reaction to your touch pleasurable."
He nodded, and in doing so brought his face even closer to Bella's breasts. I knew she could feel the heat of his breath, as he was panting with want for her.
In the far corners of the room, the other students' porn was reaching the point that no heterosexual man would turn away from, so I knew I could focus my own sights on Ms. Swan as Mr. Hale followed my next instruction.
"Mr. Hale - Pull down the edge of Ms. Swan's shirt and bra and take her nipple in your mouth. You may enjoy her breast for up to three minutes."
Jasper's eyes pleaded with Bella for an allowance on this next command, and she nodded. A flush had formed on her chest even before he attached his lips to her breath.
I remained expressionless as I continued to stare into her brown eyes as Bella enjoyed in the sensations of Jasper's mouth. Her gaze never left my face, and her titillation leveled off after about a minute. Jasper continued to suckle and lick, his hips bucking upwards so that Bella's seat was higher, giving me a better view. Only when I turned my lips up into a tiny smile and Bella's mouth fell open in a silent gasp. She began rocking her hips on Jasper's lap and he bucked back against her twice before remembering they weren't alone in his dorm room, but in a lecture hall being observed.
His lips detached from her breast with a pop, and he twisted his head away trying to hide his embarrassment and the moisture that still clung to his lips. Fortunately, this brought his eyes back to the computer screen.
I smiled as I saw them both read the next screen: "Now, Mr. Hale imagine how wet Ms. Swan's pussy is at this moment. "
His eyes closed under a furrowed brow. I could see the multitudes of desires, including the academic ones buried underneath the primal war with his sense of decency.
"Mr. Hale – it is now time to compare reality to your imagination. Test the inside of Ms. Swan's panties with your index finger."
Bella grabbed him by the chin and whispered so quietly that even I couldn't hear. There was no chance the other students could have known what I read on her lips. "I want a fucking A, so you better give me what I need."
She released him and Jasper turned his face back to the computer.
Bella bit her lip as Jasper followed my command. She was so responsive; it was better than I had even imagined. I had prepared several more instructions to get her ready, but I could see that they weren't necessary. I skipped ahead.
Their screen now read. "Mr. Hale - place your finger inside Ms. Swan's pussy and let your thumb circle her clit. Remember you must both be quiet enough to not disturb your classmates from their lesson."
Jasper followed my command and Bella leaned forward, her hair falling in front of them cutting off my view of Jasper's face for a moment.
Before I could do anything to get either of their attention back onto the computer screen, Bella tossed her head back again and locked eyes with me as Jasper pumped in her and she bounced on his lap.
I allowed myself to get lost in the view before me and the anticipation of what would happen next. I stopped breathing, my need to see her pleasure more vital than oxygen. Just as it looked as if she were going to come, Bella went rogue and shoved her hand into Jasper's jeans. I had a split second to act, hitting another button on my remote.
Several things happened at once. First, the sound of Jake and Emmett's videos rose so that the walls of the lecture hall practically shook with fake porn moans and bad musak. Second, Jasper's cock sprang free of his confines and immediately began erupting all over Bella's leg. Finally, Bella's face crumpled into an expression of ecstasy.
I growled in frustration that I had not been allowed to enjoy that view without the need to multi-task.
"Sorry about that," I said making a show of trying to fiddle with the volume. I raced past Bella and Jasper, dropping two hand moist towels on their table as I went by, then sprinted across the hall to Mike, Jake and Emmett who were trying to find a way to get their computers to be silent again.
I effectively distracted the three other students for enough time for Bella to discreetly wipe herself and detach herself from Jasper. She kindly took the hand towel from Jasper and took both to my desk, where she deposited his in the trash and hers in my briefcase before snapping it shut.
"Good girl," I mouthed to her. She shuddered and almost fell over, but managed to stumble back to her table and take the empty seat next to Jasper.
I made a show of looking at the clock as the other students all sheepishly tried turning away from their monitors.
"Gentlemen," I called out to the room. "Please deposit your assignments on top of my briefcase before you leave. Ms. Swan, I'd like to speak to you a moment after class."
The male students were all too embarrassed about their assignments to delay in following my instructions. They each gathered their things and left quickly. The sound of the door closing behind them seemed to echo through the hall as Bella and I were alone for the first time since she had begged me to allow her to take this seminar.
"Was there a problem with my performance in class, Professor?" Bella asked, her eyes wide with false innocence.
"Not at all Miss Swan," I responded. "You earned your A- for today. I'm sure Mr. Hale will forever be in your gratitude."
She smiled in agreement. "Then, what was it you wanted to speak to me about Mr. Masen?"
"I just wanted to remind you of two important points on that contract you so foolishly signed without reading," I paused, knowing I had her full attention. "First, is that none of the students of this class are allowed to fraternize outside of this room."
"I had no intention," Bella began.
"I know you don't," I said with an eye roll. "But surely you're intelligent enough to understand how the concepts of risk and reward when it comes to the male brain's response to orgasm to know that Mr. Hale will surely seek you out under the guise of an apology for what transpired today."
Bella shrugged, as if she hadn't considered it. I answered her with a stern look.
"I promise Jasper and I won't deviate from the agreement, Professor," she said, eventually succumbing to the silence between us. "Was there a second point?"
"Yes," I told her. "The last day to drop a course without a grade showing on your transcript is Monday."
"I'm aware of that, Professor," Bella replied. "It's the same as any other class, and the dates are printed in the student handbook."
"I just thought you may want a reminder," I said.
"Why?" Bella asked, again giving me the doe-eyed expression. "I thought I had an A- so far."
I nodded at her, allowing a wicked smile to spread over my face. "You have earned you're A up to this point. But, I think it's only fair to warn you that it won't be the last nor the most challenging assignment you'll be asked to perform. Jasper is quite the gentleman compared to your other classmates. Are you sure you want to continue with this seminar?"
In my hand, I clicked the projector's remote once more. Words from Emmett's and Mike's fantasies of what they would do to Bella rolled across the screen.
Bella's breath caught for a split second. I didn't fault her. Some of Mike's ideas were rather degrading.
As soon as she caught my eyes again, however, Bella's jaw tensed and her face became hard. "I'm sure there's no assignment you can give me that I can't handle, Professor Masen."
"Really?" I asked her. Still the boy's ideas scrolled behind me, but she wasn't paying any attention to them.
"I trust you," she whispered. "Was there anything else you wanted from me today?"
"No," I said, clicking the remote and making the screen go blank. "You're free to go, Ms. Swan."
"Thank you, Professor Masen," she said, then added "I'll see you in class next week."
A/N – And see you tomorrow. *wink wink*
