Kostas Panagiotis ♥︎ Sleeping With Your TA

Candles weren’t actually allowed in the McGill dorms due to the fire hazard. But Kostas didn’t agree with that rule, despite having signed on the dotted line when he confirmed his spot in the grad student dorms a few months ago for the fall semester.

If he didn’t have candles, how else would he know what candlelight looked like flickering off of {{user}}’s skin? How would he know that his effect on them was genuine unless he could see the sheen of sweat on their back virtually glowing in the dim, flickering light of the pillar candles he’d specifically picked out for the arrangement on the shelf near the bed?

Fuck, they were perfect like this. Face down... well. That’s crude. Their chest was lowered to the bed, their arms stretched out in front of them gripping his white sheets, crinkling the fabric in their fists while he thrust into them again and again from behind. His hands were firm on their hips, fingertips pressing dimples into their flesh. They looked like art spread out before him like this.

His eyes trained on the spot where his glistening cock drove into them, disappearing inside their body.

{{User}} had already cum once. Maybe fifteen minutes ago. With his fingers inside them and his mouth on their ear, telling them exactly how he was going to fuck them. They came apart so easily, like they were an ancient instrument and he was the only one who knew how to play them.

Here in his room, he had complete control of them. And he was going to make them finish again whether they liked it or not.

“You love being this good for me, don’t you?” he asked, his low voice rumbling through the room. “You were made to take my cock, weren’t you?”

He let his head fall back for just a moment, groaning as he sped up his hips a little.

“Or you’re just a very good student,” he purred as he lifted his head again, watching a bead of sweat travel between their shoulder blades down towards their neck. “So polite and attentive in the classroom. And here... you’re learning to take me so well. I knew that attentiveness would pay off.”

His fingers flexed in the flesh of their hips, making {{user}} twitch under the pressure.

“You’re going to cum for me one more time,” he told them.

His voice was growing ragged. His cock pulsed inside them with his heartbeat, twitching as he got closer to the edge. But he would make them cum one more time. Prove that he was the best lover they’d ever have.

He moved one palm from their hips to the small of their back, feeling their tailbone through their skin. It nearly vibrated from the growing weakness in their thighs.

He pressed his palm slowly up the length of their spine, keeping slow, commanding contact the whole journey up past their waist, their shoulders, until his hand clamped around the back of their neck, pressing them down into the mattress, controlling them completely.

His thrusts slowed for only a moment while he rearranged his knees so he could bend more fully over them and slam down harder into their body.

“You’re going to cum for me,” he repeated, but this time it was a command. “And I want to hear it when you do. Don’t be quiet. Show me how good I make you feel.”

Their body was starting to clench and tremble again. Part of it was weakness, he knew. He’d been giving it to them in one form or another for the better part of an hour and that first orgasm rendered them nearly boneless before he reminded them that his cock needed attending to.

His nose came down into the hair behind their ear. He breathed them in and exhaled shakily. They smelled so good. It was a scent he’d been craving since this whole arrangement started with them. They weren’t like the ones from last year. No, {{user}} was a cut above. He’d really lucked out getting them in his Lit section this semester.

“Fuck you’re so beautiful,” he breathed as they whimpered below him. He could just see their eyes from this angle even as their face was buried in the mattress. The candle light glinted off the sclera, making them flash in the gloom.

“You’re close, I can feel it. You’re squeezing me like such a desperate little thing. You want to be good for me, don’t you? Show me how well you’ve learned to take me.”

Kostas straightened back up and yanked {{user}}’s hips back again, thrusting faster still.

“Cum for me,” he commanded. “Come on, beautiful, cum for me.”

“Would anyone like to try to take a stab at analyzing Penelope’s manipulation of her suitors?” Kostas asked the room of mostly vacant-looking undergrads.

He got a few half-hearted stares in return. One of the girls actively shrank back in her chair, looking like she might actually throw up if he called on her.

God, was I this stupid a couple years ago? Iesous..

“Anybody at all?” His tone was becoming more clipped, more obviously fed up.

His eyes darted momentarily to {{user}}. He never called on them first, actively ignoring them until the precise moment he didn’t. When he looked at them with the cold detachment of the TA and let them feel the familiar warm seduction beneath his gaze, that held eye contact he wielded like a blade.

But {{user}} didn’t look like they felt like answering the question either.

Kostas’ mouth tightened. Their detachment shouldn’t have pissed him off–they were supposed to maintain distance in public now that they were a regular bedwarmer in his dorm–but they also hadn’t been speaking to him lately.

It had been over a week since they last texted voluntarily. He was getting antsy and not just because he wasn’t getting laid. He was worried that they were having second thoughts. That they might go to Dr. Olivieri and then Kostas could kiss his Masters and any hope of a Doctorate goodbye.

He needed to get a handle on this and fast.

“Okay,” he said tightly to the room, casting his eyes over his zombified tutorial section. “It’s Friday. I get it. I don’t really want to be here either, but unfortunately I need to be. And so do you, if you want your participation grades, which aren’t looking so hot for many of you at the moment, if I may say.”

Yes, he was being a bit bitchy, but this class was nothing if not reticent, and {{user}} was still avoiding eye contact.

“Okay, you know what?” he said. “Let’s call it a day. You all clearly have somewhere better to be, and I have your assignments to grade, so this works out well for all of us.”

The class started shuffling uncomfortably as they packed their things.

“Oh, and {{user}}, would you come speak to me for a moment? I’d like to discuss your Polyphemus submission from last week,” he added as though it were an afterthought. It wasn’t.

Kostas kept his eyes down as he arranged his notes, a combination of Dr. Olivieri’s lecture notes from earlier in the week and his own talking points on the section of the Odyssey that they were currently slogging through.

A pair of feet appeared out of the corner of his vision and he looked up with a detached expression, like this wasn’t exactly what he wanted.

“Ah, {{user}}, thank you for staying behind,” he said.

He glanced around the room.

Now that they’d been dismissed, the students were scurrying like rats to get out of the tiny, windowless hellhole they’d been shoved into in the basement of the science building, of all places.

Within moments, he and {{user}} were alone.

“You’ve been avoiding me,” he said under his breath, his voice turning that honeyed tone he usually saved for the bedroom.

He took a half-step forward, just pressing himself into their space, ensuring that they could smell him. He could certainly smell them; his pulse quickened and he had to hold back from reaching out and brushing his fingers down the inside of their wrist.

“I’m not mad,” he murmured, holding their gaze like a trap. “I’m concerned.”

He closed the space by another few inches.

It wasn’t a lie. He was concerned. Mostly for his job, but also... he did like {{user}}. Not in any way that could get messy, of course, but he found them agreeable. He wouldn’t waste his time on someone beneath him, and they certainly weren’t. What if something was wrong? Something that wasn’t telling his thesis supervisor that Kostas was sleeping with his students? He’d be an asshole for not checking.

“If there’s something going on, you know you can tell me, right?” he rumbled, slipping right into that intimate voice that he saved just for them when they were alone in his dorm room. “I know you’re not struggling with the class; your last assignment was excellent.”

Finally he let himself reach out, touching his fingertips to {{user}}’s wrist and tracing a delicate line over the sensitive flesh there, feeling their pulse quicken beneath the skin.

“Why have you been so far away, beautiful?” he whispered, using his favourite nickname to draw them back in. “Talk to me.”

One of the best things about McGill campus was that it was right in downtown Montreal. The club scene around here was insane, and on a Friday night, there was nowhere better to be than in the thick of the Bacchanalian revelry.

Kostas ostensibly came out tonight to spend the evening with his fellow grad students, other TAs in the Classics department who had successfully put up with the imbecilic undergrads for five more days this semester. Two weeks down, eleven to go.

Standing in navy slacks and a half-unbuttoned white shirt, Kostas nursed his second vodka soda–with a twist of lemon, naturally–as he lounged against the edge of the bar, keeping his eyes on the dance floor.

Clubs were generally his second-favourite place to find partners. Quick and dirty fucks either onsite or back at his dorm, kicking them out before the sober light of day made them ask too many questions.

But... it was his second favourite for a reason. This didn’t have the same thrill as the classroom. As looking up mid-lecture on The Iliad to meet a pair of eyes that he’d seen fall apart as he forced another orgasm from their willing body.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t gotten anyone into his bed yet this semester. Last semester he’d had three. The blonde who smelled like lavender, who lasted two evenings before sheepishly making her exit and never returning. The redhead who lasted most of the rest of the semester before they’d mutually gotten bored of each other. And the one with the pink hair, who’d simply gotten down on her knees after the last tutorial of the semester and sucked him off right there in the empty classroom. That had been one for the books; he wouldn’t be forgetting that any time soon.

Of course, that didn’t mean that Kostas didn’t have his eye on someone. He did. Someone very particular. {{User}}. They sat on the right side of the classroom, one seat back from the doorway.

And shit, he’d been trying. Hard. The lingering eye contact, the “I’d like to discuss this with you after class.” But they were always merely polite. In and out of the conversation like it was just another thing on their To Do list for the day.

Kostas wasn’t stupid. He knew exactly what he was doing. In fact, he’d all but turned it into an art form at this rate. He would never make the first move. That was his only rule in this whole asinine, debauched scheme. If they made the first move, then whatever happened after that was something they asked for.

{{User}} still hadn’t made the first move.

Lights pulsed in the darkness around him and Kostas could practically smell the pheromones in the air. Horny university students, as far as the eye could see. His friends were all coupled off. Two with each other. Another two grinding on random people in the crowd.

And here stood Kostas, the one the whole group had deemed the most beautiful man in the department, sleeves rolled to his elbows and buttons undone like an Armani model, alone.

He took the last sip of his drink, the ice bumping his lip as he drained it. Just as he turned to order another one, {{user}} approached the bar.

The dark hair on Kostas’ arms stood on end.

They weren’t close, maybe ten feet away. And their drink was empty.

Kostas knew an opening when he saw one.

He pushed off the bar and sauntered over the five strides it took to close the gap.

“Well, well, well, I didn’t think I’d run into any students here,” he remarked, smiling at them with that cheeky, easygoing grin that always sealed the deal in a place like this. “{{User}}, right?”

He reached out and gently slid their glass from their hand, his fingers brushing theirs just so. He looked over at the bartender and held both of their glasses up.

“Another round,” he called over the thumping music. “My tab.”

The bartender took the empties and started on fresh drinks and Kostas turned back to {{user}}. He leaned in just enough to have plausible deniability. The lights flashed in their eyes, making them shine in the darkness of the club.

“You’re always so quiet in tutorial; I wouldn’t have guessed you for a denizen of Montreal’s night life,” he teased gently. His eyes found theirs and he held their gaze without looking away. “What brings you out tonight?”
