“I want to take you because I know how much you love Maroon 5,” he smiles teasing me.
“Of course I will go, I wouldn’t pass up a chance to see Adam Levine up close and personal,” I swoon.
“What is it about that skinny guy that girls go nuts for?”
“He’s so sexy when he sings, that voice. He was voted sexiest man in People Magazine,” I gush.
“I will suffer through his concert just for you my dear.”
“Awww, that’s so sweet of you,” I reply.
“Does this get me out of the dog house?” Jason asks.
“I think so,” I say, offering him a faint smile.
“Good.”

My roomies and I are sitting around the table finishing our fast food dinner from Taco Bell. Fast food row is surrounding USC and getting junk food is never a problem. I need to be careful not to gain the freshman ten.
“What do you think about giving us an extension, Deena?”
“What do you mean?”
“Let’s make it a 60 day challenge, I know I for one need the extension. I know Deena doesn’t, but what about you two,” I admit looking between Clarissa and Lexi.
“You have my vote,” Lexi says.
“I’m in, three to one Deena, we get an extension,” Clarissa states firmly, like it’s a done deal.
“Alright, I guess we can extend it another 30 days. Just clean up after yourselves until then,” Deena acquiesces to our demand. After dinner I walk into the bathroom and see Deena putting on some perfume.
“Are you going somewhere tonight?” I ask.
“I’m headed up to Apartment 72. Do you care to join me, the boys are looking for dessert?” Deena says with a twinkle in her eye.
“No, not tonight, I have to study,” I tell Deena. After Deena leaves and Lexi goes into our room to study, just Clarissa and I are left alone in the living room.
“Kara what’s going on with you and Jake, he’s quite the bad boy hottie isn’t he?” Clarissa asks.
“We’re hanging out together.”
“And other things,” Clarissa teases me wiggling her eyebrows at me.
“Maybe.”
“Come on, a bad boy like him, surely you’ve had a Close Encounter with him right?” she presses.
“Maybe.”
“Why be so coy, Kara?”
“I’ll let you know at the end of the 60 days that we now have. What about you, what’s your Close Encounter tally at?” I ask curiously.
“My lips are sealed as well.”
“Where have you been spending your all-nighters?”
“Haven’t you heard from Deena, I have a secret lover,” Clarissa quips.
“Is he hot and hunk worthy?”
“Most definitely, he’s my secret addiction, let me just say that,” I laugh wickedly.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Before this challenge, was your High School boyfriend the only guy you had ever slept with?”
“Yes.”
“Were you in love with him?”
“Yes, madly in love,” Clarissa says wistfully.
“The first time should be with someone you love, don’t you think?”
“I do, but that’s just me. Not everyone feels the same. I had some friends who were just anxious to lose their virginity and gave it away easily, even if they weren’t in love. I feel a little sad for girls who think that way. It should be special, you know what I mean? Why do you ask?” Clarissa questions me.
“No reason,” I reply.
“Kara, you’re not a virgin are you,” she asks eyeing me curiously.
“Maybe.”
“Then why on earth would you agree to this crazy challenge of Deena’s?” Clarissa says in astonishment.
“I believe it’s called peer pressure. I’m determined to lose it with Jake. If he would only cooperate. He actually wanted to wait until I was ready,” I laugh out.
“You’re kidding right?”
“No, I wish I was. I wonder if there’s something wrong with me, am I undesirable?”
“That’s a shocker, he looks like such the bad boy. And you are stunning girl, and very sexy. You just need to show off your assets more.”
“He surprises me too. Beneath that bad boy exterior is a sweet guy.”
“He sure is attractive in a tough way and he has quite the body on him.”
“I agree, but I think Jason Bancroft has it all going on.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely, you have become pretty close friends haven’t you?”
“I guess you could say that.”
“He likes you.”
“So he claims, but it’s only because I’m not fawning over him like all the other girls do.”
“Do you think he sleeps around?”
“Well he hooked up with a pledge sister and then cast her aside.”
“Typical frat boy behavior.”
“Yeah, pretty much. All the more reason to keep him in the friend zone. But Kara, seriously, you should drop out of this challenge. I honestly don’t think I will be having four Close Encounters myself. My heart isn’t in it, or should I say my heart is in it with my secret lover. He’s the reason I’m unable to be with someone else right now. I fight every day to keep in casual with him, but it’s becoming more than that for both of us.”
“You sound less than thrilled about it.”
“It’s all very complicated. Sometimes I don’t know what I want. This whole college experience, I never planned on being tied down right off the bat like this, but he intimates that he wants us to be exclusive. A couple of guys have asked me out lately and I had to turn them down. Don’t get me wrong, I’m so thrilled to be with him. He is extremely satisfying in so many ways,” Clarissa gushes and her eyes light up over her secret lover.
“You sound pretty smitten.”
“I suppose I am,” Clarissa beams. I see her glance at her cell phone as it bings.
“Hey I gotta get going. Lover boy is looking for me,” she says, walking into her room to get ready.
I feel a little better after confiding in Clarissa. I was surprised to find out she has her own doubts about meeting the challenge. I know Lexi feels the same way I do. We should make Deena clean for putting us all up to this ridiculous challenge.

~CLARISSA~
I ride Grant hard, swiveling my hips down onto his rigid manhood, riding myself into delicious ecstasy that leaves me breathless and panting for more. He buries his face in between my bodacious breasts as he likes to call them and languishes both nipples with his tongue, heightening their sensitivity. Then he cups them and tweaks my hardened nipples.
“Oh Professor,” I say breathlessly as I am almost there and this close to unraveling. Then Grant hugs me close and rolls me over, all while staying buried deep inside me. He’s now on top of me, pumping furiously into me. With each stroke I moan softly, nothing in the world feels as good as when Grant’s inside me bare. The expert way he rolls his hips sends me over the edge as he releases inside me. He lets out a low, guttural growl and falls onto me with all of his weight that I welcome with open arms. I love being smothered by him as I wrap my arms and legs around him and hold him tight against my body. You know why don’t you? I need to enjoy this man and his delicious body for as long as possible, cherish our moments together for as long as I’m able.
“I love this,” he whispers in my ear.
“Mmmm,” is all I murmur.
“Basking in the afterglow of our lovemaking,” he says, raising up and kissing my lips tenderly. “Y,ou’re quiet tonight.”
“Oh am I, I thought I was rather loud,” I say with a mischievous laugh. I know exactly what he means, but I don’t want to go there tonight.
“What are you thinking?”
“How much I enjoy every inch of your delicious body,” I whisper.
“You are stealing my line, Miss Cla
rkson,” he teases. He wraps his arms around me and we fall into a deep luxurious slumber.
*****
Morning comes and my Professor kisses me awake.
“Mmmm, good morning,” I murmur stretching my body.
“Let me take you out for breakfast this morning,” Grant offers to my surprise.
“Isn’t that risky?” I ask.
“No it’s a small out of the way neighborhood place, no one will see us.” Over breakfast Grant asks when I can come over this week.
“I have two tests I need to study for this week,” I tell him.
“How about Wednesday?” he asks. I stiffen as I realize that’s the night I see Maroon 5 with Jason.
“I’m going to see Maroon 5 that night, I’m soooo excited and I can’t wait!”
“Cool, I know how crazy you are about them. Who are you going with?”
“A group of us are going,” I answer. He pauses for a moment before he asks me the loaded question.
“Is Jason Bancroft going with you?”
“He’s one in the group,” I reply, looking away. When I glance back at him his jaw clenches as he takes a swig of his coffee and he won’t look at me.
“Is he pursuing you?”
“Grant, we are just friends,” I say with an awkward laugh.
“He wants more, I see the way he fawns over you in class.”
“Stop it, he does not,” I deny, deny, deny to him as well as myself.
Grant’s expression darkens, but he says no more about it and doesn’t ask me when I’ll come over again.
We get back to his place and when I’m just about out the door he drops a bomb on me. One comment.
“If it’s Bancroft you want, we’re done here,” he says stoically without an ounce of emotion behind his words, just a chill.
“What, so just like that you’re ready to cast me aside?” I say with a slight whimper to my voice which I don’t like hearing.
“It’s your choice Miss Clarkson, not mine,” he says coldly.
“Grant, it’s not like it’s a date or anything. A group of us are going.”
“Suit yourself,” he clips out. I wrap my arms around his neck and press against him and he doesn’t touch me. He’s mad.
“Can I come over Friday night?” I ask. He pierces me with those blue eyes of his for a long moment before his hands grasp my face and his lips crash onto mine in a sudden and passionate kiss that steals my breath away. He closes the front door and turns me around and presses me against it.
“I want you one more time before you leave, Miss Clarkson,” he whispers huskily into my ear as he pulls my pants down.
“Yes, take me,” I say wantonly. I hear a zipper as I spread my legs and bend over slightly for him, my palms and face pressed against the door. This is so hot! He’s already hard as he guides his rigid shaft right where it belongs. He slides into me deep and hard with the first thrust of his hips as he breathes into my neck. His hand reaches around and his fingers stroke the sensitive nub between my legs.
“You’re always so wet for me,” he growls in my ear.
“Always,” I whimper softly. He’s driving into me at a fevered pace. I know his anger and jealousy are fueling him, but I just hold on and enjoy the ride. When he’s through with me he tucks himself back in and pulls my pants back up.
“Thank you Miss Clarkson, I needed that,” he says in his authoritative Professor voice.
“You are naughty Professor. I will remember this goodbye when I see you in class tomorrow,” I say as I saunter out the door.

Jake wants to take me on a real date tonight, dinner and a movie. This will be the first time I’ve ridden on the back of a motorcycle and I can’t wait.
While getting ready for my hot date with Jake I put on some sexy lace lingerie for him. I’m hoping tonight will be the night. I dab on my favorite fragrance so I smell sweet and enticing. I need to relax tonight and just go with it.
There’s a knock on the door and I open it to my sinfully sexy bad boy.
“Hey you ready my gorgeous girl,” he says, grabbing me around the waist and planting a kiss on my lips. We head out to the back of our building to where he parks his bike and we hop on and we are off to The Grove tonight. Love holding on tight to Jake as I press up against his back and he’s tight between my legs, we zoom through the streets, this is so freeing. I can understand the allure of riding a motorcycle.
After weaving our way through traffic we reach our destination and we settle into a cozy booth at Lucille’s, an upscale restaurant near the theatres.
“Do I have helmet hair?” I ask Jake as I shake my hair and rake my hands through it.
“No you look gorgeous, I can’t wait to ravish you later,” Jake says as he undresses me with his eyes. His look has me melting inside. Can we skip dinner and the movie and go straight back to his place I think to myself?
“Jake you don’t fit the typical USC student mold.”
“Oh I didn’t realize there was a mold to fit into. I guess you would say I’m smarter that I look.”
“Are you saying don’t judge a book by its cover?”
“In my case I suppose that may be true,” he replies.
“How do you like SC so far?”
“I can’t complain, got cool roommates. The apartment downstairs has one gorgeous girl in it who I’m interested in and she makes the best pancakes,” he says with a gleam in his eye.
“Oh how interesting, so are things going well with her?”
“I will let you know later tonight,” he says with the most wicked smile playing across his lips that I feel between my legs. I know I must be blushing.
“What are you in the mood for?” Jake asks innocently.
“What, excuse me?”
“Food, the menu. Do you have a one track mind Kara?”
“When I’m around you I do.” Did I just say that? I look down and peruse the menu.
We order dinner and I have two glasses of wine with dinner for courage and to relax me for what’s to come later.
We flirt, chat and laugh and our dinner conversation is filled with subtle and not so subtle sexual innuendo. We finish dinner and I’m stuffed.
“Are we going to the movies?” Jakes asks cocking his brow.
“It’s up to you.” I leave it up to him.
“Well somethings up alright.” He glances down at his lap. Oh my god, get me a fan I’m burning up here.
“Let’s go,” I whisper.
“Where to gorgeous?”
“Back to your place,” I try to say seductively. I can’t believe I just said that but I can wait no longer.
“Your wish is my command,” he says. He grabs my hand and we’re out the door as we walk briskly to his bike. I don’t say a word as I press up against his back and my legs are wrapped snugly around his great rear end for the ride home. We’re still quiet as we walk up to his apartment. No one else seems to be home tonight when we walk into his a place, its pitch dark and he doesn’t bother turning on a single light as he leads me straight to his bedroom. My breath quickens with anticipation, but I’m ready for this.
As we walk into his bedroom he closes the door. I swallow hard as I put my purse down on his desk and slip off my shoes. He comes up behind me and kisses my neck as his hands reach around and cup my breasts. My nipples harden at the contact. I break away and walk over to his bed. He kisses me hard entwining his hands in my hair and I moan into the kiss.
“God Kara, I need you naked,” he growls out as he pulls my sweater over my head. Then he unbuttons his jeans and is out of them. I follow his lead and slide my leggings off. Now I’m standing before him in my sexy lace lingerie and am feeling a little self-conscious under his appraisal.
“You’re so damn sexy,” he says and he pulls me to his warm hard body as we fall onto his bed. He moves over me covering me with all of his muscles. The touch of his roaming hands send jolts of heat through my body. He starts kissing down
my neck to my breasts that spill over the top of my bra. He unhooks my bra and slides it off then takes a nipple into his mouth and sucks it into his warm mouth hard. I gasp as I cradle his head in my arms. He continues to venture lower trailing kisses down my stomach and continues even lower as he slips my panties down my legs and off. I part my legs but am unsure about this as I gaze down at him and his face is between my legs.
“Jake no,” I say softly, uncomfortable with what I think he is about to do to me.
“Relax and enjoy,” he says with a wicked gleam in his eyes as he goes down on me with his tongue. He spreads my legs open wider and I bend them up. Oh.My.God. This is beyond naughty, but it feels…so good…
“Ahh, Jake,” I whisper out as my hips shudder and quiver involuntarily at the pleasurable sensation of his tongue licking and sucking in my sensitive sweet spot. I fist the sheets as I writhe beneath his expert tongue, losing myself. After what feels like an eternity he crawls back up my body. Then his fingers take over stroking my sweet spot. He takes a nipple in that talented tongue of his.
“I think you’re ready for me, aren’t you gorgeous?” he whispers huskily in my ear.
“Yes,” I breathe out as I wrap my legs around him.
“Let me put something on,” he says. I assume he means a condom.
“Hurry,” I say before I lose my nerve to go through with this.
“Patience Kara,” he says with a faint smile. Once he’s sheathed, I take a deep breath.
“Relax Kara, I’ll be gentle I promise.” He kisses me tenderly and I manage to relax a bit as I part my legs inviting him in. He takes his shaft in his palm and rubs the tip along my slick fold.
“You’re so slick for me,” he growls, his voice thick with desire. I know he can’t wait another minute as he starts to press his crown into me slowly. As he gets further inside me my breath hitches at the sudden pain. Oh god, I just need to try and relax I think as I run my fingertips slowly up and down his back to calm myself. He pauses to let me get past the pain and then he continues to ease in slowly inch-by-inch.
“Ahhh,” I moan out once he’s buried deep inside me.
“You alright gorgeous?” he asks tenderly. He’s propped on his elbows over me and he brushes my hair out of my eyes.
