Princely Passions

"Let's talk about it tomorrow over brunch then," Anders said when I wouldn't back down.

Fine. If he wanted 24 hours, I could wait.

The final time I brought it up is just now.

We're sitting at Balthazar. It's a Sunday morning.

And I'm going to figure out just how over the ethical line we are with what's going on. On one hand, I don't want to recuse myself from being considered for only the most important award and opportunity in my career. But I don't want to get that great opportunity on the back of a lie.

So wish me luck, babe. If Anders has been ducking this convo for a while I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of a doozy.

So Christine probably basically said that everytime she tries to bring up the whole conflict of interest bit I try to have sex with her, didn't she?

Don't try to turn the page or move on. I know she did.

It's okay. No reason for it to be awkward. I know she tells you things about me when I'm not there, because it's her POV.

So sure, I've been trying to shut Christine up with my cock. No, I didn't mean it to sound like what it just sounded like. I'm not stuffing it in her mouth or anything.

Well, actually I am. Fuck.

But nevermind. That's not what I mean. I mean, yes, I am absolutely having sex with her to get her mind off this conflict of interest thing that she's got her head around.

Christine is talented and smart. She's intelligent and funny.

She brings people together and the work that she has done has been excellent.

I've got absolutely no complaint about her as an academic. And that's independent of her other skills.

I promise you, I'm not letting those tits or that ass bias my judgment. I'm not taking her cock sucking skills into account. I'm not thinking about how tight her pussy is around my dick when I tell you this.

You're shaking your head at me with a smile, I know.

But you're going to be proven wrong if you think I'm letting my cock bias my judgment.

Besides, aren't I supposed to be looking out for my girlfriend?

Let's drop the ethical implications here for a second about whether it's right or wrong to sleep with a student and be on a panel deciding her entry into a prestigious program.

Instead, let's look at the ethics of nature.

Universities haven't been around more than maybe 800 years. The UN hasn't been around even a 100 years.

But for thousands of years we've had men protecting and looking out for their women. Making sure they had enough food, water, and shelter to take care of their families.

Yeah, I'm thinking like a fucking cave man, but I am here to protect Christine. No other guy is going to do it for her. If he did, he'd probably want to fuck her too and then we'd have a problem, because he'd probably be dead.

So you can't blame me for wanting to protect her. And right now, I promise you, protecting her is trying to get her not to think about this situation that we're in.

Which is going to be harder said than done.

She starts the pressure from the morning.

Right as I wake up, I'm under assault from Christine Jalili.
