Change of Heart

Chapter 25

Wow so this is what it feels like to be completely robbed of speech, EJ thought to himself knowing without a doubt exactly what being utterly speechless felt like in the few seconds after Samantha had asked him such a loaded question.

Did he want to sleep with her? Yes, very much so. Was he going to take her virginity? Damn, he honestly didn't know the answer to that question Samantha had so bluntly put out there for him.

While he prided himself that he was one to be able to think fast on his feet, it was like having a complete power outage occur in his brain and he was literally in the dark causing his reactions to everything around him to be delayed. He decided to take another sip of his drink, this time being able to hold it within his mouth instead of spewing it out in shock.

He made himself look at her, this woman child who had so brazenly just put it all out there for him when she really had no clue about what she was truly asking of him to do for her.

Maybe he hadn't heard her correctly, maybe he had just been fantasizing about her or had even fallen asleep sitting up from writing most of the night and this was a crazy dream. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and reopened them. Samantha was just sitting there patiently waiting for an answer from him.

To be perfectly honest he was dumbfounded and he was pretty sure he looked like the idiot he thought himself to be at this moment as well. So he thought he'd go in a more cautious route with her and act like he wasn't completely sure he had heard her correctly. Really as he was doing was grasping at straws while he tried to figure out what he should do given the current situation he was facing.

"I beg your pardon Samantha."

"Wow I've managed to see what it feels like to be on the other side of the spectrum, that is if the look upon your face is anything like what mine has been when you've asked me a question in class and I'm scrambling to find an answer or hope someone else distracts you away from me." Sami said with more than a hint of satisfaction in her tone. She looked around the room and then back at him. "Well you don't have anyone coming to your rescue by asking me something to take my attention away from you so spill. It was a simple yes or no question. It wasn't like I was asking you to perform brain surgery on me."

My god this girl was cheeky, he had to give her points for that if nothing else. He placed his glass back on his desk to prevent from spilling the last few remaining drops of liquid left in it on the floor. No doubt about it she of backing down from this until she got an answer from him, but he wasn't some backwards boy who had never had sex before and was being presented with the opportunity to have sex.

"I can honestly say I've never been asked that particular question before in my entire life. Are you sure you aren't still drunk?"

Sami shook her head and did a great Tori/Britney impression because he swore she sounded just like one of those girls in his class that she had disparaged on their blatant flirting with him, "Sorry Professor Wells, I can't blame it on the alcohol."

"I just wanted to be sure," EJ replied hedging for an extra bit of time because he didn't know what in the hell he was going to do about this proposition she had given him. Part of him desperately wanted to just run with it because of his intense attraction to her, but his practical side was screaming that he shouldn't even entertain the notion of deflowering her because there was no way it would be good for either one of them.

Sami returned back to her normal voice, "Maybe you've never been asked that question before since most of the girls in your classes are most definitely not virgins. They actually know exactly what they'd like to do to you and vice versa and well I'm kind of clueless about these matters."

"All the more reasons for you to claim you were still drunk instead of admitting you want me to sleep with you."

"I doubt there would be much sleeping involved; I mean I'm not a total moron. I have watched the act on movies before."

"You watch porn?" EJ asked with almost a horror etched upon his face. This girl was absolutely a study of contradictions if that were the case.

"No! You've totally got the wrong idea. I meant movies like Titanic or Gone with the Wind. Not that you actually saw any sex going on in Gone With the Wind, but you know Rhett had to be getting some from Scarlett after all he went through to be with her "

"Thanks for clarifying it for me. Silly me I wonder why I would have the wrong idea after you have given me such a proposition," EJ replied dryly, at last feeling a bit of his confidence flowing back into his system after it had been shocked out of it by her a few minutes beforehand. Although from their previous conversations he would have never pegged her to be a closet romantic since she had proclaimed she didn't believe in love that it was just a myth of sorts and those movies were very romantic movies.

"Even though Pretty Woman basically glossed over the whole she was a prostitute for hire that somehow managed to snag the rich billionaire with her charm and good looks," Sami mused out loud. "Damn I wish I had hair like Julia Roberts, I bet she never has a bad hair day unlike me who at this very moment is seriously rocking a complete bed head look."

He wanted to go kiss her; she was an innocent girl but she had such a smart mouth on her. A sensual mouth that he wanted to kiss, really kiss unlike the chaste kiss he had given her hours before after they had left the bar.

"While I won't disagree with you on Julia Roberts, your hair is beautiful in its own right. You don't need to be wishing to look like someone else because I happen to like the way you look."

"Great, so if you can stand the way I look then this should be a no brainer. You give me some quick lessons on sex and I'm going to be the best student you've ever had in your life."

EJ contemplated her face, she really had no clue what such lessons would entail, physically and even more importantly mentally. He decided to call her bluff so to speak. "I've only been teaching for a few months, but it would take a lot for you to be my best student since you're pretty far down the line especially with your lackadaisical attitude toward any type of scholastic endeavors."

"I'm a fast learner," Sami smiled thinking she was going to get her wish and EJ would teach her all about sex.

EJ thought to himself, if he pushed it she would back off because Samantha really didn't know what she was asking of him. So he got up from his chair, walked over to her and got right in her face and took a strand of her wayward hair between his fingertips as he leaned in to whisper in her ear, "But what you don't understand is that these things take time. Samantha there won't be any quickies from me. It takes me a very long time to satisfy my urges because I have so many of them. You see that is what happens when you're with a man who knows how to please a woman and believe me when I tell you I know hundreds of ways to show you exactly what I mean."

Sami gulped audibly over EJ's whispered words in her ear, his breath hot as he continued to twirl the lock of her hair he had in his grasp, slowly making it pull tighter with each revolution. She could feel her pulse quicken at the thought of being with this man. This was no boy, he was all man.

A very sexy man apparently, even more so than she had previously given him credit for being. Now she understood what it meant to feel all tingly over mere words been spoken because if she wasn't mistaken she was getting wet as she felt her temperature start to rise.

"Well my daddy always told us to go big or go home, guess I'll take the first option," she stated with a false bravado that she wasn't completely sure of, but she was going with it none the less.

That statement took EJ aback, albeit only momentarily, he pulled back from her so that he could look her in the eye, "Somehow I don't think your father meant that statement to be taken in the context you are giving it right now."

"So are you telling me you won't help me? Do I need to ask someone else to relieve me of my virginity?"

That thought filled EJ with a quick anger, he didn't want anyone else touching her, and if she was going to do something this foolish he wanted to be the one to teach her because he didn't want her hurt by some ignorant boy who wouldn't know or care what he was doing to her.

"How about I propose a counteroffer to you? We take things slow, there's no need to rush and go straight to point so to speak. There's way more to sex than the actual act of intercourse. You do things my way, a bit at a time. That way I can know you're actually going to keep your side of the bargain to me. No slam, bam thank you mam'and you're out the door. If you want to learn about sex, then you prove to me you are going to be the best student I've ever had in actual class. For each improvement I see from you, and then you get a new lesson in the physical aspects of sex. If you decide at any time it's all too much for you then we can forget you ever even asked me about taking things in our relationship to an entirely different level because once you agree to this it changes things forever for the both of us."

Surely she was going to say no to him, she wasn't one to study so he'd be off the hook with her, plus she seemed slightly hot and bothered by his whispered words of pleasure he could give her and with her being inexperienced surely she had to be slightly intimidated by him. He wasn't going to have to actually go through with this preposterous notion of hers that he be the one to actually teach her about sex.

She was quiet for a few minutes, apparently thinking it over and EJ was glad he could feel that she was going to take the option of forgetting about the offer and let it go.

She nodded her head thoughtfully, "Okay, I agree to your counteroffer. We do things your way since you're the one who actually knows what they are doing in the first place."

Oh hell she had called his bluff and now he'd have to go ahead with this crazy ass plan of hers. He managed to put a confident smile on his face that he certainly didn't feel and said, "All right if you're absolutely sure."

"I'm sure this is what I want to do," Sami stated with more conviction in her voice.

"Okay then, lets lay out the terms of this agreement," EJ went over to his desk to get out a piece of paper and a pen thinking he was surely going to hell for this because despite all the things she had said, but he couldn't back out now. It was too late to change his mind; the only way he would stop would be for Samantha to call a halt to this madness she had created.

He only hoped neither one of them were going to be hurt by this crazy idea because the lines between them were so blurred that he suspected both their lives would be changed completely when everything was said and done. He took his time getting the needed things to write things out and to his surprise she agreed to every idea he came up with in what he figured he would refer to later on as a sexual synopsis.

He guessed he was going to find out about what going big meant because it sure didn't look like Samantha wanted to go home anytime soon.
