The Summer My Students Only Looked at Her

My name is Claudio, and I give private math and physics lessons at home. Every summer I take on a group of university students who need to make up failed subjects before the new term begins: young men who didn’t pass during the year and would rather sort it out quickly than repeat the whole semester. It’s not a glamorous job, but it has its advantages. I do it at home, I set my own hours, and the extra money comes in when it’s needed most.

The only problem is motivation. Students show up with little enthusiasm, looking at the clock from the first minute, and you have to be creative to keep them in their seats. In summer, with the heat and the beach twenty minutes away, concentration falls off a cliff no matter how well you explain things.

That year I had a group of five boys, all university students, all male, all between twenty and twenty-four. They paid three hundred pesos each per class hour, which came to fifteen hundred per session. For a family living on that income during the summer months, it was money I couldn’t afford to lose.

The problem started in mid-July. Absences multiplied. Rodrigo missed Tuesday. Diego showed up late on Thursday and left early. The other three started inventing excuses I knew by heart. I knew exactly what was happening: the heat, friends, nights that never ended. I could understand it. What I couldn’t do was resign myself to losing the group.

The solution came on a Thursday afternoon, in the most unexpected way.

We were reviewing integrals —one of those dry topics that decorate textbooks but that nobody masters without real effort— when the door to the study opened and Graciela, my wife, walked in.

Graciela is thirty-seven. Black hair, honey-colored eyes, firm ninety-cup breasts that stand on their own, a round, high ass that fills any pair of pants, and a figure she takes constant care with and knows how to show when she has reason to. That afternoon she had gotten a stain on her blouse while cooking and had changed in a hurry: she was wearing a light linen dress, sleeveless, that fell just to mid-thigh. Nothing extraordinary for an afternoon at home. Extraordinary for five twenty-year-old boys shut in a room with their notes.

She came in carrying a pitcher of water. She set it on the table, bent slightly to pick up a glass that had been left right at the edge, asked if they needed anything else, and left. It lasted forty seconds, maybe less.

But those forty seconds changed the atmosphere in the room.

The five boys, who had been fighting sleep for ten minutes, transformed. Rodrigo, who always sat in the back secretly on his phone, sat up straight. Diego put his pencil down and looked up. The other three stretched with that subtle tension of someone who has just received an unexpected stimulus. One of them, Sebastián, shifted his folder to cover his crotch with a gesture that wasn’t quick enough.

I kept talking. I looked at the board, pretended to check my notes. But out of the corner of my eye I saw perfectly what I had seen. And what I felt was not anger.

What I felt was something completely different. It was a hot pressure low in my belly, my cock hardening inside my pants as I imagined the five young cocks swelling at the same time for my wife.

That night, while Graciela and I were clearing the kitchen after dinner, I told her what I had noticed. She listened without interrupting, with that habit of folding the kitchen towel before answering.

—And what do you want me to do about that? —she asked.

—I want to ask you for something.

—I see.

I explained it without embellishment: the group slipping away, the money we needed, the boys’ reaction when she had come in. I didn’t exaggerate or downplay it. I told her exactly how it was.

Graciela looked at me for a long moment before speaking.

—Are you asking me to show myself off in front of your students?

—I’m asking you to wear something prettier than the Sunday nightgown.

Silence. Graciela knows very well when I’m serious.

—I wouldn’t get naked.

—No one’s asking you to.

—And what am I supposed to do?

—Come in, bring something, move around the room. Like you did today, but knowing you’re doing it.

I expected a flat no. Instead, she folded the kitchen towel a second time, hung it over the sink edge, and said:

—Let me think about it.

That same night, when we got into bed, I grabbed her by the waist and turned her toward me. I was hard in a way I hadn’t been in months. She noticed it as soon as I pressed her against my body.

—You get turned on talking about this, don’t you? —she murmured against my neck.

—I get turned on thinking about how they looked at you.

I lifted her nightgown to her waist and slid my hand between her legs. She was soaked. My fingers slipped over the swollen lips of her cunt, and when I pressed her clit with my thumb she let out a short moan she tried to swallow.

—You’re drenched —I told her in her ear.

—Shut up.

—You’re thinking about them.

—Shut up, Claudio.

I shoved two fingers into her at once and she arched her back. I pulled them out wet, ran them over her nipples to leave bright marks on the fabric, and went back down. I took her without any further preamble. I drove my cock all the way in with one thrust and she dug her nails into my shoulders. I fucked her slowly at first, feeling how her cunt clenched me on each withdrawal, and when I asked her in her ear if she’d like one of those boys to look at her like that, she came without answering, trembling beneath me with her mouth open in a scream she muffled against the pillow. I came inside her a minute later, emptying myself in long spurts while she kept convulsing around my cock.

We stayed still, she breathing hard, me still hard inside her.

—Tomorrow I’ll answer you —she said, without opening her eyes.

***

She thought about it for two days. On Saturday morning she told me yes, with three conditions: she would choose the clothes, there would be no physical contact with any student, and if at any point she felt uncomfortable, everything would stop without discussion.

I agreed without adding anything.

The next class was Tuesday. While I was preparing the materials in the study, I heard Graciela moving around the bedroom: the familiar sound of the closet opening, closing, opening again. When she stuck her head in to tell me the coffee was ready, she was wearing a fitted navy-blue dress that reached mid-thigh and a pair of heels she normally saved for nights out.

I stopped short.

—How does it look on me? —she asked.

—Very good —I said. It was the most honest answer and the most useless at the same time.

—Then let’s go.

***

The five students arrived on time. It was the first time in weeks that there were no absences. I wondered if it was a coincidence, though I guessed it wasn’t.

Class started as always: partial derivatives, exercises on the board, questions. I talked, they took notes or pretended to. The atmosphere was the usual one: warm, boring, functional.

Graciela came in twenty minutes later.

She was carrying a tray with cookies and sparkling water. She set the tray in the center of the table, moved to the back bookcase to look for a dictionary she didn’t need at all, and while she searched with her back to the group, the dress made the outline of her thong perfectly visible through the fitted fabric, the line of her ass showing beneath the navy blue every time she stretched to reach the top shelf.

I kept talking. I looked at the board, checked my notes, but I was perfectly aware of what was happening behind me.

Rodrigo had his pencil suspended in the air. Diego had forgotten to write anything down. The other three were staring with a focused intensity they had never applied to partial derivatives. In the reflection of the window glass, I caught Sebastián adjusting the bulge in his pants under the table with a barely disguised movement.

Graciela turned around, looked at them all naturally, and asked if they needed anything else. There was half a second of silence. Diego shook his head no, with a smile he couldn’t hide. She nodded and left.

The energy in the room changed. Not dramatically: there were no comments, no whispers. But the group was more present. The questions started coming on their own. We finished that class with the best performance of the month.

***

The following weeks followed the same pattern. Graciela appeared once per session, sometimes twice, always with some reasonable pretext. She brought something to the table. She walked through the back to pick up an object. One afternoon she bent down to retrieve a folder I had left on the floor —we had agreed on it beforehand, discreetly, while having breakfast— and the short skirt did its work without her having to force anything: the dress rode up to expose half her ass, the white panty fabric outlining the lips of her cunt from behind, and the five boys saw for three full seconds what none of them had ever seen before.

The boys never missed another class. Rodrigo asked me if we could add an extra session on Fridays.

I said yes.

But there was something I hadn’t anticipated: what was happening to Graciela.

At first she was discreet. When class ended and the boys left, she went back to her house clothes without comment, as if nothing had happened. One-word answers when I asked her how it had gone. But I started noticing small details: she took longer than usual to change afterward. Sometimes, before entering the study, she stopped in front of the hallway mirror a little longer than necessary. One night I found her reading on the sofa with a distracted expression that wasn’t her usual reading expression, and with her right hand resting on her thigh, squeezing it with her fingers spread.

Something was changing in her, but I still didn’t know how to name it.

In the third week, after the students had left, Graciela closed the front door and stayed leaning in the frame with her arms crossed. She was looking at me from the hallway with an expression I didn’t recognize right away.

—What happened? —I asked.

—Nothing. —A short pause. —Everything.

She told me with the direct frankness she has when something truly affects her: that when Diego had looked at her that afternoon while she was setting the glasses on the table, during that second when their eyes met and he didn’t look away, she had felt something she couldn’t quite name.

—What did you feel? —I asked.

It took her a while.

—It wasn’t shame —she said at last.

—Then what was it?

She didn’t answer right away. She stayed looking at the floor for a moment. When she lifted her eyes, she had an expression I hadn’t seen before: guilt mixed with something more intense than guilt, something that didn’t need a name to be understood.

—My panties got wet, Claudio. Right there, in front of everyone. I had to clench my thighs so my legs wouldn’t shake.

That night, in bed, Graciela was different. There was something unbound in her, something she normally kept carefully shut away. She came after me with an urgency that wasn’t her usual style: she yanked my briefs off with both hands, climbed on top of me before I could even realize it, and impaled herself on my cock, sliding down slowly until she had all of it inside her. Her cunt was burning, leaking, tighter than I remembered.

—Tell me what you see from the board —she said, starting to move on top of me—. Tell me everything.

I talked while she moved. I described how Rodrigo followed her with his eyes from the moment she opened the door until she closed it, how Diego leaned forward a little every time she moved around the back, how Sebastián —the quietest one— watched her with that concentrated stare of someone afraid of missing the moment. I told her I had seen Sebastián adjust the bulge under the table on the first day, and that I was sure all five went home with hard cocks thinking about her.

Graciela started moaning uncontrollably. She dug her nails into my chest, rose up and dropped back down on my cock with faster and faster strokes, her breasts bouncing against my face.

—And what do you imagine they do when they get home? —she panted.

—They yank it out thinking about you. All five of them. They jerk off thinking about your ass.

—Say it again.

—They jerk off thinking about your cunt, Graciela. Thinking about fucking you.

She came screaming, covering her mouth with her hand so the neighbors wouldn’t hear her. I felt her clench around my cock in long waves, soaking my thighs, and I came inside her with my head exploding with images of my wife getting fucked by all five at once. When she collapsed on top of me, sweaty, her hair stuck to her face, she murmured something in my ear that I couldn’t tell was a question or a confession:

—Would you hate me if I liked it even more?

I didn’t answer her. I grabbed her ass with both hands and kept her pinned on my cock, which was still hard inside her, and that’s how we fell asleep.

***

From that night on, things between us changed in a way I couldn’t have anticipated. Graciela started choosing her clothes more carefully before each class. She asked my opinion. She asked whether the dress was too revealing or not revealing enough, whether the neckline was right, whether the shoes she had picked worked with the skirt she had in mind. She started wearing thinner thongs underneath so they would show less and her ass would look smoother under the fabric, and one afternoon she took off her bra before coming in so her nipples would show hard through the dress.

After every session she asked me specific questions: what exactly had Diego looked at when she turned around? How long had Rodrigo’s stare lasted? Had I noticed whether any of them got more distracted than the others? Did any of them have hard cocks? Which one?

I answered honestly. That seemed to matter to her a great deal.

And every one of those nights ended the same way: her on top of me or on her knees sucking my cock with her eyes closed, whispering the five names between licks. She learned to deep-throat me in a way she had never done before, swallowing me whole while she slipped two fingers between her legs. She learned to ask me to come on her tits, on her face, in her open mouth, things we had never explored in fifteen years of marriage. And I fucked her in new positions, against the bathroom wall, on all fours over the dining table, on her side on the sofa where she used to sit and read, taking every centimeter of that woman who was rediscovering herself before my eyes.

One afternoon, with two weeks left until summer ended, Graciela came into the study with no pretext at all. She simply opened the door, sat down in the armchair at the back —that armchair with the worn-out arms that nobody ever uses— and opened a magazine as if she had always been there.

The boys looked at her. She didn’t look at them.

She stayed there for forty minutes, sitting in that armchair, turning the pages calmly, crossing and uncrossing her legs in a completely deliberate way. On one cross that lasted longer than it should have, with her knees opening just enough, she showed for a full second that she wasn’t wearing anything under the dress. No thong, no panties, nothing. Her shaved cunt, her lips shining with moisture, visible in that second like a promise none of the five would ever forget.

I kept teaching. The boys stayed present, more present than ever. Rodrigo had his hand in his pocket, squeezing himself. Diego was red to his ears. Sebastián hadn’t blinked in five minutes.

It was the longest and most productive session of the whole summer.

When the boys left and I closed the door, I found Graciela already in the bedroom, naked on the bed, legs open and two fingers sunk into her wet cunt. She hadn’t even waited for me to finish saying goodbye to them.

—Come here —she said, her voice rough—. Fuck me quick before I lose it.

I threw myself on her without fully undressing. First I buried my tongue between her legs, sucking her swollen clit until I came in my mouth with her hands gripping my hair, and then I turned her over, got her on all fours, and drove my cock into her from behind in one shove. I grabbed her hair with one hand and her hip with the other, and I fucked her hard, slapping her ass against my thighs with every thrust, while she moaned things she would never have said before: that she felt like a slut, that she wanted to be seen, that she wanted one of those boys to have her against the wall, that she was coming again, that she was coming. I emptied myself into her to the very last drop, and when I pulled my cock out I saw the cum sliding from her open cunt down her thighs and onto the sheets.

***

That summer I learned several things. I learned that other people’s desire can rekindle your own when you thought you had already catalogued everything. I learned that Graciela had a side she didn’t even know well herself until then, or maybe did know but had never had reason to explore. I also learned that certain late-night conversations, in very low voices, in the dark, can open doors that would otherwise remain closed for years.

And I learned that things that begin out of financial necessity can end up being much more complicated —and much more interesting— than one expects when making the first decision.

The five students passed their exams in August. Rodrigo sent me a thank-you message the following week. He said it had been the best remedial course he had ever taken in his university life and that he hoped I would teach again next summer.

I didn’t reply.

Graciela, who was reading over my shoulder when the message arrived, let out a short laugh and kissed me on the cheek.

—Next year —she said—, take on more students.
