Jordan's Brave New World

I don't know how long I was out of it, but when I opened my eyes and I was lying back on the desk and Debbie was behind my head, on the front side of the desk. She was staring down at me – upside down actually, and she was stroking my hair and humming.

As soon as I opened my eyes I jumped up and spun around on the desk knocking papers everywhere until our eyes finally met.

"I . . . that was the most incredible thing I have ever felt in my entire life. Let me do you now." I said, over the sounds of labored breathing and with a renewed feeling of excitement.

She smiled at me in a way that just made me feel good to be alive and any doubts I may have ever had about us and our future together just seemed to fade further and further away.

"Shhhh . . . its okay baby." She whispered to me in that same erotic, throaty voice that made me feel like melting. "You did me twice last night and I fell asleep before I could return the favor. Besides, I don't ever want it to be about keeping score, otherwise we both lose."

I thought about what she said for a minute and then I smiled at her. I was still trembling slightly and I'm sure that it showed. The feelings that I was now experiencing for this women were totally new to me and I didn't know exactly how to deal with them, but I knew I wanted to somehow find the words to share them with her. I opened my mouth and spoke to her in a soft whisper that was barely audible.

"Debbie, I pray this doesn't scare you off, but I think that I may be falling in love with you. I don't have a lot of experience with either sex to draw upon, so I can't be totally sure about all the things that are racing through my mind, but I know what I'm feeling for you now is just pure magic and I don't ever want it to end."

Tears started to flow from her eyes again as she seemed to study me closely for an instant, as if she was still determining my true level of credibility.

"Jordan, baby, I think I'm falling in love with you too, but are you sure that you want someone who is so much older than you? After all, twelve years can be a pretty big age gap."

My eyes never left hers. "I know I'm only twenty-two, but I've never felt a connection like this before or even imagined one such as this could even be possible. I think there's something very special about you and me together and I sense that you feel it too. It would be tragic if we didn't play this out to see where it might take us. You've known me for a long time; can you possibly doubt my level of commitment to you?"

She looked at me for a long moment, before finally smiling back at me. "Of course not baby, I just want you to be sure, that's all. It would simply kill me to hear you tell me afterwards that you decided that you're really not interested in a lasting relationship with me. That's happened to me once before with another woman and I don't think I could handle anything like it again. Of course I feel the intense connection between us too and even a blind person could see that what we have together is very special."

I grew quiet and considered all the things we had just said to each other. There was a lot of commitment in those words by each of us, but I had little doubt that I meant every word and it was exactly what I wanted.

As we both grew quiet I was considering the timing of my next question. Then I just threw caution to the wind and decided to ask it anyway.

"Debbie, the painting above your fireplace; was that done at a time when you were with another woman?"

I could tell she was surprised by the question and for a moment I think she even considered not answering. Then she smiled at me and nodded her head.

"Yes, you're very perceptive baby. But we can talk about that at another time. Our lunch break is almost over and I have a Physics class to teach in a few minutes."

We kissed one last time, before I pulled myself together and slowly headed for the door. As I unlocked it I was just about to leave when Debbie called my name and I turned around to face her. She had a near-mischievous grin on her face and I was drawn to those deep brown eyes that I hoped I'd get a lifetime to enjoy.

"Jordan, I was thinking that perhaps we need to have a little party at my house this weekend and invite Erika and Lisa over – as a way to thank them for their . . . discretion. Do you think they'd wanna come?"

I couldn't help smile back at her, probably reflecting the same mischievous grin she just flashed me. "Oh, I suspect that's something those two girls do whenever they get the opportunity."

As I headed back to my classroom to prepare for my Anatomy class, I wondered what Erika and Lisa would have in store for me today.
