A Professor Watches

Professor Hatteberg looked at his notes, frustrated. The test today had been an unmitigated disaster, but… why? Why had his planned battery of questions only lasted half the time. How had he come up with these tests? It was like most of his notes were deleted after the first battery, yet he had his own copy in front of him. It’s second, third, and fourth portions contained paltry questions.

Rebecca Parker, vice president at the university, was absolutely not pleased. She had had strong words with Hatteberg and threatened his tenure track if he didn’t shape his experiments up. He had not published in some time and the university was losing prestige off him when they could hire someone who would publish. She also made it clear he was not to fudge results. She even locked up the material with a lock only she had the key to.

So Hatteberg sat back in his office looking at his notes, wondering how. These were meant to test if the subject could lie with the ring on, and if so what barriers were in his way. Yet the lies in the first battery were spoken with ease! He said like it was the most natural thing in the world that the sky was blue and two and two were four! And come to think of it, why had Hatteburg put those in the first battery? Those lies were the only questions in the second battery. Hmm…

Hatteburg watched the footage again. He listened carefully. Then something clicked. His mouth fell open at the possibility. If he was right… then tenure would be the last thing he needed to worry about.

The restaurant was busy since it was Friday, but Ashe and Theo only had to wait about fifteen minutes for a table.

It wasn’t what one might think of a first date. Ashe and Theodore were already friends. They chatted about games and TV shows and books and movies. The biggest difference is they both had a sense of excitement about them, like they were both waiting for this. As they spoke, Ashe gave a dopey smile as she looked at Theo. In response, Theodore glanced down at her breasts. He guiltily looked back up, but Ashe didn’t seem to care. In fact, she undid one of her shirt buttoms.

“There, is that a better view?”

“I guess that we are dating now. Still, I love your eyes.”

“Sure, you big dork. I honestly don’t mind if you stare at my breasts. Besides, I’m just glad we are really doing this!”

Theo smiled, “Me too. We should go to a movie next week.”

Ashe thought a little more practically, “We should talk about what we each want here. I know that this is the first date, but we’ve known each other several months now, and I want this to be a sort of long term thing.”

“Me too.”

“So I think I want to hold off on sex for a couple weeks.”

“So you do not want to see a porno next week?”

Ashe laughed. Theo laughed. The date proceeded on and when Theo left it was already dark.

Just before he left, Ashe gave him a kiss. Theo could have jumped and yelled in the air, but instead left with a gentlemanly goodbye.

Theo woke up groggily. He checked his phone and felt panic as he realized he may be late! He threw on jeans and a shirt and ran to Yates Hall. He arrived with seconds to spare, and he saw relief on Ashe’s face.

He walked into the testing room and sat at his spot. Ashe went to the desk and glanced briefly to the mirror to check for the red recording light. It was on, so she began, “Please take the ring out of the box and place it on your finger.”

Theo did so. He was doing his best not to look at Ashe’s body sexually right now. He knew what she said to him, but he didn’t trust himself not to mess up in front of her bosses. He was just so excited about dating her! She was not making it easy though with her low cut shirt under her lab coat.

Ashe pulled out a deck of cards. Theo thought he may know where this was going. Ashe pulled a card, “Please say what card this is in the format of the phrase, ‘that is the blank of blank.’”

Theo rolled his eyes, “That’s the uhh… three of spades.”

Ashe set the three of spades down without showing Theo who responded, “I don’t get to see them?”

“That is not a part of this experiment.”

Theo muttered in frustration, “Oh, but your boobs are.”

“What was that?”

“Oh, just you are very smart.”

Ashe smiled at her boyfriend’s compliment. Of course she failed to notice despite her intelligence that she just moved from an As and occasionally Bs student to an all A student who was closer in knowledge and intuition to her professors than to any of her fellow students. In fact she had already deduced that this ring supposedly had properties relating to speaking truth. It seemed more like a subject for philosophy than any scientific endeavor, but that is where the tests pointed to. She was a little disappointed in the professor’s experiments, to be honest. Still, this was a double blind study so she needed to pretend to be blind. She was used to waiting for others to catch up to her mentally. She drew another card.

“Uhh. That’s a uh ten of clubs.”

Ashe set aside the ten of clubs and drew again.”

Theo started to get cheeky, “That’s a queen of diamonds with a photo instead of a drawing.”

Ashe knew at this point there was some power to the ring. Theo was guessing all of these correctly, even the trick queen here. She drew again.

“That’s a queen of spades. She is annoyed she rules over a shovel.”

Ashe set aside the annoyed looking card.

“That is the princess of hearts, the queen’s hot, eligible daughter.”

Ashe set aside the last card. She had gotten enough from this exploration. The next test involved Theo guessing dice outcomes which were 3, 6, 83, and Fondle Breasts. Ashe tried not to think of where the professor got sex dice. Though her vast intelligence was beginning to wonder if Theo was simply guessing correctly or actually manifesting these things into reality. That second possibility was frightening to reckon with. Frightening and maybe a little sexy. Ashe had been getting worked up seeing Theo mention sex so much. She guessed he was more comfortable in front of her as a girlfriend rather than a friend who is a girl. She got to the part she knew he would like.

“Please guess the size of my breasts with the phrase ‘Your breasts are blank cups.’”

Theo was thrown for a loop. He looked incredulously at the mirror and then at Ashe who only smiled at him. He thought about what he should respond. He figured that going over the top would be the safest option, “Your breasts are G cups.”

Ashe made a mark on her notepad as she failed to notice her bosom balloon outward. The low cut shirt and bra shifted with it whereas the university provided lab coat remained the same. Theo’s eyes bugged out. He wanted to say something, but every thought about what was going on came up blank.

Ashe continued on as if nothing had happened, “Great. Now please state the length of this room in inches using the format-”

“Wait! What just happened?”

“You followed my prompting to state the size of my breasts.”

“But they… why did… you didn’t notice anything suspicious?”

Just like that, Ashe’s worries about the ring controlling reality were put off. She would have them later, but she noticed nothing so far that made her think of that possibility, “So far everything has been part of the test.”

Theo put a hand to his head, “I think I’m dreaming.”

And just like that, he thought he was dreaming.

Ashe was about to continue the experiment but Theo had other plans, “You don’t wear a bra.”

Ashe actually looked offended for once. Sure, she didn’t mind Theo looking at her breasts, and there was a comment about her breasts on the testing material, but how dare he point out in front of her professor her own personal decision to not wear a bra.

Ice was in her voice, “That is not a part of the test.”

Theo just grinned, “Right, sorry. I forgot to think first. If there was something you would like to change about the world? Anything at all?”

“This is not part of the-”

“You answer me this question and then we’ll get back to the test.”

“Since we are on the topic, I suppose it is painful and difficult to get around with such heavy breasts, especially considering I do not wear any support. My life would be easier if they were smaller.”

Theo knew how to fix this. He whispered, “Ashe’s breasts do not cause her any discomfort. They are perky enough to never need support while remaining delightfully jiggly. She is also strong enough she never notices the extra weight.”

Ashe was busy asking the next question, but Theo could see her core strengthen. Her arms and legs showed a little more muscle, but her stomach and ass really formed up, making Ashe’s figure more top heavy but with a very well toned ass. He realized that he had completely missed her question. He tried to remember it from before.

“Uh, the room is 75 inches long?”

He did not know much about inches but the table and desk merged and not Theo was sitting less than three feet from Ashe in a much smaller room. The mirror now took up almost the whole wall. Ashe proceeded onto her next question.

For some reason, Theo finished out this section of testing. Maybe it was dream logic or something. He supposed he told her he would. It was weird not being fully in control of his actions like that. Still, he decided to play along and actually had a good time with Ashe. He did truly love her despite an outside observer just seeing him stare at her breasts the whole time.

Finally, the hour was up and Ashe began to pack up. Theo asked her, “So do the people running this thing know what the ring does yet?”

Ashe shrugged, and Theo’s eyes dropped to her jiggling breasts again, “It’s a double blind. We’ll find out afterward. I’ve been avoiding making speculations to avoid spoiling the data.”

“Oh if they only knew… I could do anything with this ring.”

“I imagine if that was true, you’d have a hard time storing your harem.” Ashe joked.

Theo chuckled, “Oh you’d love for me to have a harem.” He wasn’t even thinking of the reality power of the ring, but Ashe suddenly knew that he wasn’t living up to his potential in romance.

“Alright, if you did have the power to do anything, what would you do with me?”

“Not much. Maybe… You are sexily open to whatever I am and have the same kinks as me.”

Ashe rolled her eyes. Guys. All they thought about was sex. Still, she was ready to have a roll in the hay with Theo. First though, “Oh, please put your ring back in the box.”

Theo complied, “Sure. Now let’s get out of here.”
