Mary walked halfway down the hall towards her office when she remembered that Dean Richards had asked her to submit to him a list of specific research proposals for the semester. As she kept walking towards her office she felt a ping of embarrassment at the thought that she hadn't bothered much with the task yet but, since the Dean hadn't specified a deadline, her attitude had been rather lax. She thought it would be best to clarify what his expectations were. Mary reached her office, opened the door, threw her purse on her chair, and turned back to walk the way she came.
Despite being the most decorated academic in the department, Dead Richards seemed to evaluate his faculty’s performance by their individual teaching abilities rather than research output alone. Mary couldn't recall ever having a better boss or at least one whose general attitude and demeanor impacted her work in such a pleasingly surprising way. This was all the more surprising to Mary, and everyone for that matter, due to the fact that the Dean could only be described as an imposing man, in every sense of the word. His physical presence cannot easy not easily ignored: at a height of 6’4”, he’s was easily the tallest man in the building. His broad shoulders, strong chest, and thick strong arms were a perfect complement to his remarkable face. During one of Mary’s first department’s coffee hour breaks, he had recounted for a group of professors that his parents had emigrated from Norway before he had been born. Dean Richards had fair skin and dirty blonde hair. He has a narrow nose and deep blue eyes which contrasted with the brown color of his full beard. Thanks to his square and strong jaw line, he always looked pensive if not outright stern. When all of this is taken into consideration with his impressive career as an American Literature scholar, and having achieved it by age 41, it was difficult to guess why exactly he was unmarried let alone still single.
As she continued walking down the hallway Mary let her thoughts drift to memories of her birthday. After feeling her knees weaken at the sheer eroticism of that night’s hot and heavy sex, she realized she hadn’t talked to her friend since those events transpired. She’d recently gotten an email from her telling her about the new guy she was dating. A picture had been attached with the message and it occurred to Mary at that moment that the guy, one Steve, was strikingly similar to Dead Richards.
At this moment Mary reached the Dean’s office and froze as she placed her hand on the door. For a split second her mind was flooded by images of Dean Richards, her friend Lisa, and herself all entertained in a passionate orgy. She blushed deeply, took a moment to catch a breath and clear the images out of her mind, and opened the door to his office.
What happens next?
