Tony asked me what I wanted for my fortieth birthday. I wanted to answer, “Big black cock,” but I thought that might be pushing it. Instead, I asked him for a one-night pass.
“On one condition,” he said.
“Yes.”
“You have to let me watch.”
That ruined my plans of not letting him know the colour cock I wanted.
Tony and I met at work. After I finished teaching the last Biology class for the day, Tony came up to me and asked how the first day was.
He was the head of the Physiology department at Greyville University, and he hired me. After dating discreetly for a year, Tony popped the question.
“You do know that all our colleagues and students are going to know?” I said.
“Ah, the hell with them. We’re adults. Why do we have to hide our feelings?”
Most of the staff were surprised when they heard about our engagement since they construed us to be conservative and shy. Everybody at the church echoed the thoughts of our colleagues about our character.
