"Well, you should be super prepared. I really hope you get it."
"Thanks, Penny. Text me if you want to toilet paper your pervy intro to marketing professor's house or something."
I laughed. "That's actually a really good idea. I'll think about it."
"Night, Penny."
"Night, Tyler." I hung up the phone and looked back up at the T.V. I wasn't sure if I'd actually be able to fall asleep. I flipped through the channels. There were tons of scary movies on because it was getting so close to Halloween. After several minutes of searching, I turned the T.V. off. I just wanted today tobe over. And I missed James. It had only been a few hours since he had left. I wanted him to have a good time tonight. He needed this.
I wasn't sure when I had become a needy girlfriend. Maybe I always had been. We fought a lot. He had been right when he said I took up a lot of his time. No wonder he didn't have any hobbies. He had said that Rob wasn't independent. I wanted to be independent. I wanted to be able to take care of myself.
I climbed into Professor Hunter's bed.Our bed.I loved that the sheets smelled like him. I couldn't seem to help it. I wanted to be with him all the time. Especially right now. When I closed my eyes I kept picturing myself behind Professor McCarty's desk.Maybe I should toilet paper his house.Eventually I drifted off into a fitful sleep.

I sat up with a start. Something had awakened me. I reached my hand out, but James still wasn't in bed. It felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. I heard the noise again. Laughter. It was just James and Rob laughing. I looked at the alarm clock. It was almost 2 a.m. I sighed and laid back down. I yawned and closed my eyes. Scary movies always freaked me out, even though I had just seen clips as I was channel surfing.
The bedroom door squeaked open. I rolled over and looked at James as he walked into the room. I could just make out him taking off his shirt from the little bit of moonlight shining through the curtains into the bedroom. He stumbled to the side slightly and started laughing again. "Shit," he mumbled as he almost fell over. He tossed his shirt into the middle of the floor.
"Are you okay?" I climbed out of bed. I could smell the alcohol on him.
"Hey, baby." His voice was deep and soothing. His smile was electric. I don't think I had ever seen him like this before. He was drunk. He was really, really drunk.
"Do you want some help?" I didn't want him to fall over and hurt himself.
"God you're beautiful." He put his hand on the side of my face. "I missed you tonight."
"I missed you."
"You're really, really beautiful, Penny."
I smiled at him. "You've already said that." He was cute when he was drunk.
He laughed and then looked past me at the bed. "Oh, shit, did I wake you up? I thought I was being really quiet."
I laughed as I unhinged his belt for him and pulled it out of his belt loops. "You weren't being quiet at all. I heard you guys laughing. You scared me. I thought someone had broken in or something."
He started to laugh again. "No. No, no, it's just me. It's just me, baby." He was looking at me in that hungry way. "I'm glad you're awake, though."
I unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans for him. "You're drunk. You should probably get some sleep."
"I don't want to sleep. I missed you. I want you. I've been waiting to have you all day." He ran his hand through his hair.
How was he so sexy when he was drunk? No one was sexy when they were drunk. I pressed my thighs together. "It's the middle of the night."
"You told my brother that I like to spank you. But you didn't tell him how much you like it. How wet you get just thinking about it. You like getting punished. And if I recall, you were very, very bad today."
And just like that, I was awake, wanting him, needing him. I was just wearing one of his t-shirts and a pair of underwear. I pulled off the t-shirt. Without a word, I turned around and placed my hands on the mattress, arching my back.
His hands were on me in less than a second, pushing my underwear down my thighs. He spanked me hard.
Fuck.He was right. He was always right.I love this.
"That was for going to your dorm room instead of coming to me when you were upset."
He spanked me even harder. "And for talking to the reporters."
I wanted him so badly.
