Chapter 1- The Assignment
CHAPTER 1
“Class I want you to do a research paper on anything that you find fascinating about human sexuality” Dr Byrne blurted out in the middle of his lecture. “I want it to be out of the box, imaginative, well researched and delivered on time; it is due one week from today.”
The class murmured their displeasure, but there was nothing they could do about it, Dr Alejandro Byrne had spoken, and he was not a lecturer one would want to cross. He was loved and hated by the entire Mid Island University, especially the Humanities Department.
The students loved him because he was very humorous in his classes and also straightforward, and he always conducted lively discussions, on hot social issues that had the class going. “You should think like a Humanitarian,” he would say, and then you can solve the problem like one. He was hated because he was not to be taken lightly when his assignments were due.
Girls loved him, because of his remarkable body and devilish good looks; they hated him when he discards their flirting, and pass them on the street as if they didn’t exist. Guys just hated him because they had never received the amount of attention he receives from females daily.
Alejandro Byrne was approximately six feet four inches tall with well-defined muscles and a body that made Greek gods jealous. His alabaster complexion was as smooth as silk and his incredible smile was touched with a bit of shyness, and he had black curly hair, his sideburns were neatly lined not a hair out of place. He was not the average Jamaican man
His smile melts the hearts of most women in the Mid-Island University population, and he knew just how to use it to his advantage. Since working at the University, he vowed he would never pursue a relationship with a student; too many complications and Alejandro hated complications.
Many female students have made it quite clear that they wanted him, but Alejandro did not succumb to their woos, not that they spiked his interest anyway; all they wanted was to be dubbed the girl who took down Alejandro Byrne.
Alejandro knew he was attractive and made no apologies for it, many described him as arrogant, but he believed it was confidence, which is displayed in the way he dresses, he took pride in himself and he ensured that the world knew it too.
Alejandro had worked pretty hard to get where he was; the head lecturer of his department. Each morning after getting dressed, Alejandro looks into his mirror and says to himself, “not bad for a little country bwoy” and then he was off to work.
Alejandro spends plenty of time on three things in his life, his clothes, his car, and his house. Raised in a little village of Saint Elizabeth, he lived in a one-bedroom broad house with his older brother and mother. The house creaked with every step that he made, and when the rain fell they had to set pots and pans to catch the water in the house.
Alejandro was determined, poverty would not be his life, and unlike his brother who was killed while engaging in a gang fight, he was determined to make a life for himself and his mother. He never knew his father, and he didn’t care to, his mother told him he left three weeks after he was born. He knew his mother loved his father all her life. As a result, she never got into another relationship.
Alejandro graduated with honours from high school at age sixteen and received a scholarship to study at Oxford University in England. When he graduated from Suma Culm lade; he won a scholarship to do a Master of Arts in Humanitarian Assistance.
While doing his studies, Alejandro worked nights to provide food and board for himself, but most of all to send money to Jamaica, to build a house for his mother. At the age of twenty-two, he completed his master's, with honours, and was offered a position to lecture at the University, while he worked on his PhD.
Even though Alejandro had made a life for himself in England, it didn’t feel like home. Whenever he vacationed in Jamaica, a melancholy air would descend on him when it was time for him to leave.
He finally came back to Jamaica when he found out his mother had stage four cancer. He could not believe his mother had hidden such a thing from him for so long. She said she didn’t want him to worry about her, and he only got to spend six weeks with her before she died.
After the death of his mother, he decided he would stay in Jamaica, resigned from his job and sold his townhouse in England. He bought a house in Mandeville, and not long after he received the position to lecture at Mid-Island University. One year later he was made coordinator for the Humanitarian Department, which consisted of ten colleges.
Alejandro was not big on relationships, he had tried several, but they never worked out, so now he just has s****l agreements. He had several lady friends that he took out, to dinner and then had i*********e with, and send on their merry way. One girl caught his fancy; the guys called her sexy Felicity, and Alejandro thought the description suited her very well.
“Mmmm, what will I write my research paper on?” Felicity thought, to herself as she sat directly in front of Alejandro.
Felicity laughed as Alejandro reminded her Human Sexuality class that this was where they said yes sir and moved on, instead of complaining about the assignment. Felicity would sometimes procrastinate on assignments, but not Alejandro’s, she always got them finished the very day she received them.
Felicity admired everything about Alejandro and he was the number one topic in her daily discussion with her roommate Norma, even though Norma had no clue that Felicity had any crush on him.
Felicity made it seem as if she was complaining; she admires everything about him, his demeanour, his charming good looks, and his controversial discussion. When everyone shied away from his classes Felicity, choose them on purpose, she loves the challenges she faced in his classes, and she excelled very much in them.
Felicity is considered provocative by most of her male peers, she was very voluptuous, she had curves everywhere, and she was neither fat nor slender; she was just curvy. Felicity does not see herself through the eyes others see her, it’s not very often she feels confident about her body, she always thought she could lose some weight, and her breast was too big. Little did she know that whenever she walked into class Alejandro and every guy in the class notices her every movement.
Felicity was in her final semester of school she has done seven classes with Alejandro Byrne and she enjoyed everyone. She was loved by everyone and respected by her peers and family, she had come a long way from the ghettoes of Montego Bay to the cold hills of Mid-Island University.
Just like Alejandro Felicity grew up poor and impoverish, but with determination and hard work, she didn’t follow the trend of having two children by the age of eighteen. She instead went to a teacher's college and did a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. The job market for teachers was so poor her mother decided to send her to Mid-Island University, to do her Masters's in the field of Humanities with an Associate Degree in Music.
Felicity’s dream is to advocate on children's behalf and stop child abuse and make the world a better place for them. While everyone wanted to go abroad to work, she wanted to stay in Jamaica and help make the country a better place for the children.
Felicity was of medium brown complexion, Straight face, with brown, golden eyes, large firm breasts narrow waist, broad hips and a lovely round bottom. She also had long, soft, beautiful black locks that reached her waist.
By the end of the day, Felicity knew what her topic would be. “Dominant/ Submissive Relationships” Felicity was always curious about Dominant/ Submissive relationships from the day she read Fifty Shades of Grey.
She was always up for s****l excitement but never found a willing partner, it’s not that she wanted her entire life to be dominated, just in the bedroom. She had never met any guy who would be willing, besides she thought her fantasies were stupid. However, she thought. Dominant/ Submissive relationships would be a great topic for Dr Byrne. It was out of the box and exciting, and she would ensure that it was well-researched and imaginative. Felicity had been in three relationships, but she got bored after she found out she could twist them around her little finger. She wanted someone with strength and character, not someone who agreed with everything she said.
Alejandro smiled in his heart when he saw sexy Felicity put her paper on his desk, the first to do so, as usual. If only it were a different time and place, I would have tried my luck, Alejandro thought to himself…
He admired the way felicity, put effort into his assignments, and the way she looks famished for the wealth of information given in class. He enjoys listening to her holding on to her points and defending them. Sometimes, Alejandro disagrees with her point on purpose just to see her brown eyes alighted with passion when she defends her point.
Alejandro also notices that she has a reserved personality, and he wanted to ruffle her feathers very much to see what is underneath felicity's aloof behaviour. Many believed that Felicity was a nerd, but he knew, she was a passionate young lady, who needed the right man to bring it out of her.
Felicity was very nervous about her research paper, and started regretting choosing her topic, “what if he thinks I am a perverted, twisted, nymph?” Felicity asked herself over and over again, never the less she put the researched paper down on his desk and took her seat.
Felicity inhaled Alejandro’s cologne as she placed her paper on his desk, and her heart skipped a beat. He didn’t even notice, I was the first one to carry up my paper, Felicity grumbled in her mind, then sighed with relief and console herself, that Dr Byrne, would not see her researched paper.
Class sped by quickly along with the rest of the week; Alejandro wanted to see what Felicity wrote about; He had put it off because he thought his feelings for her were getting out of hand. He could not get it out of his head what he saw on the cover page in perfect APA format; ‘Submissive/ Dominance Relationships.’
Alejandro took up the stack of Researched papers from the macro humanities class and searched for Felicity McDonnell’s. He held the paper for a while as he relaxed in his lounge chair on his bedroom balcony, and then he forcefully placed it at the bottom of the pile of papers and started marking.
Boredom suffocated Alejandro as he went through his student papers; there was nothing out of the box about them however well-structured they were. He took up Felicity's paper several times and put it back down, his mind even wandered off to various s*x scenes, that included himself and Felicity.
“Finally!” He whispered as he finished marking the last paper and took up felicity’s paper and started to read. His manhood was fully erect by the time he reached the end of her paper; it was pretty detailed and well-researched and had nothing to do with him or Felicity but that’s where his mind went.
Alejandro kept thinking of Felicity in shackles and chains kneeling before him, as she called him Master. He wanted to torture her sweetly until the juices from her o****m ran down her legs, and then he would dip his tongue in her nectar and taste how delicious she is.
Sensual dreams of Felicity haunted Alejandro for two nights straight; he tried to delude himself into thinking it was due to lack of s*x and why he is reacting this way. When he saw sexy Felicity walk into class and his heart skipped a beat, he knew it was her. Stop behaving like a schoolboy! Alejandro scolded himself.
Oh my gosh! Mr Byrne is looking so great today! Felicity squealed in her mind when she noticed Alejandro was wearing a tailored long-sleeved white shirt along with khaki pants with a genuine leather belt and brown loafers designed by Clarks. On an ordinary man, the outfit would have looked very dull. Felicity couldn’t get over the white Hanes undershirt that clung to his rippling muscles or how his pants hung loosely on his waist and defined his well-shaped ass, thigh, and slightly bowed legs.
Felicity was caught off guard when he caught her checking him out; she blushes but thanks to her dark complexion it was not visible, and she eventually looked away and stumbled to find her seat.
Alejandro gave back all the papers except Felicity, and when she asked him for her paper, he told her he needed to see her in private. He knew it was not a good idea to withhold felicity's paper, to talk to her. He could not allow the opportunity to pass by; he had to know if Felicity had any feelings for him. By the way, she was looking at him this morning; he confirmed there was a possibility.
Felicity hardly learned anything in the rest of her classes that day; she was tearing up inside. She kept thinking, how stupid she was, to write a paper on such a s****l topic, and now she may be in big trouble. Her classmates were no help either, as soon Has soon as class was over, and Alejandro walked out of the room; they started bombarding her with questions.
“Did you do the research paper?” Kimone asked Felicity
“Of course she did it!” Maria answered on Felicity’s behalf, “She brought up her paper first,” she continued.
“What was your topic?” enquired Tyrone
“A typical topic,” Felicity responded with a shrug.
“Well, that’s not good, anytime sir wants to see somebody, they are in deep s**t!” Maria commented again, which made Felicity's heart sink even lower.
Felicity knocked on Alejandro’s door at five PM and Alejandro responded, “come,” he knew it was her because his student worker Romero told him she was there to see him. He knew Romero found it strange, because he told everyone he was busy, and also he didn’t meet with students after five pm and to add to that he was very jumpy.
“Good Evening Miss McDonnell,” Alejandro firmly greeted Felicity.
“Good Evening Dr Byrne,” Felicity mumbled while she twists her fingers and sat on the couch; he motions her to sit in.
Alejandro notices Felicity's discomfort and he wishes he could join her on the couch and kiss away every ounce of it, but he had to maintain his calm and hide his erection under his desk.
“There is no need to be nervous Miss McDonnell,” he assured Felicity.
“Okay Sir,” she sighed and relaxed a little.
“I asked you to meet with me because; I am rather intrigued by your research paper.”
Felicity looked immediately from the bookshelf she was focusing on to Alejandro because she did not think she heard correctly. She stared at him; he looked just as nervous as she did.
“What did you just say?” she asked while maintaining her stare.
“I loved your research paper; it intrigued me,” he repeated matching her stare.
“Thank you, Sir,” she responded with a smile, and broke her gaze, as she became nervous again. She could feel the tension rising in her and Alejandro, and it wasn't one-sided as she had thought.
“What made you write on that topic?” he asked, almost in a whisper
“I don’t know; you said you wanted something out of the box,” she answered, “is it hot in here?”She asked as a means of changing the topic while fanning with the research paper she had just received for emphasis.
Alejandro knew she wasn’t completely honest besides, the air conditioning was on. He wanted to be close to her, he wanted to lift her chin and stared into her eyes, to see the truth, she was hiding behind her contact lenses. Everything in Alejandro’s mind told him to stay where he was and put an end to his conversation, but he got up and sat on the couch beside her.
“You’re lying,” Alejandro whispered as he reached out his hand and lifted her chin
“No, am, no ma” Felicity stuttered, when she felt Alejandro’s touch, she was lost for words. His hands were warm and electrifying, and she yearned for more. Instinctively she pushed her face into his palm;
Just one kiss Alejandro thought to himself. He pulled her in and kissed her, he started softly at first, allowing her to pull back. When she kissed back, he lost all control and wanted to explore her mouth with his tongue and so much more.
Felicity kissed Alejandro with a hunger that matched his; she took his tongue in her mouth. She loved the taste of him; she had dreamed of this for so long. This feels better in reality she thought to herself and thought she would go crazy when his large hands pulled her blouse buttons and grabbed her breast. Everything seems right, she thought until the telephone rang, and he pulled away, their gazes held, for two seconds then the phone rang again and broke the spell.
Alejandro suddenly realizes what was happening and hurriedly got up and went to answer the phone. Felicity glanced across the room and saw her reflection in a mirror; she barely recognized who she was. Her lips were swollen slightly, and she looked very much aroused but she also notices the two top buttons of her blouse were loose.
She could not believe it, she almost had s*x with her lecturer in his office on his couch, and she hurriedly buttoned her blouse and grabbed her bag and rushed out of the office. Alejandro had to restrain himself from calling after her; he wanted to hang up on the school’s president and ran after her, he needed to finish what he had started….
