3. He’s a no show and Dr. Nilsen has an idea

The clock ticked from 5:15 to 5:30 to 5:45 and Leo was nowhere to be seen. At 30 minutes late, Dr. Nielsen turned to Meg. “He’s not coming at this point. I’ll have to deal with that later. For now, can I make you dinner?”

It was hard to say no to that. The other option was dining hall food, and given the choice Meg would absolutely pick anything else. She shot Hanna an email to say she’d be home late and happily agreed. Dr. Nilsen didn’t live far from campus. She drove Meg to a modest apartment complex and led her student up to her unit.

Dr. Nielsen, or Mila as she insisted Meg call her off campus, was an excellent cook. Conversation flowed easily and so did the wine Mila poured. Pretty soon, Meg was nursing a buzz and well on her way to being drunk. Mila had slid around to sit next to Meg on the table bench and Meg was happy to lean into her professor’s embrace. She wasn’t surprised this time when her professor ran her fingers along her jawline to tilt her head back for a kiss. This time it was soft and gentle. There was no time pressure on the two women nor any threat of being caught. They luxuriated in each other.

Mila reached for her student’s waist and pulled Meg in closer. Meg swung her leg across Mila’s lap without breaking their kiss. Mila’s hands slid down Meg’s body, grabbing her ass again and pulling the teen close to her. Something in Meg was a little shocked at herself. Before today she’d had no idea what another woman could make her feel. Now she craved her math professor’s touch like nothing else. She still didn’t quite know what to do with Mila, but she was happy to follow her lead. Above all, she realized she wanted to make her happy.
