She’s not wrong to question it.
“Anatomy,” I say out of the blue.
Both women look at me, Angie with a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes, Tabitha with confusion.
“We’re studying anatomy,” I say. “You’re both my students, and we’re bound to bump into each other from time to time since we’re neighbors.”
What the hell did I just say?
“Yeah, of course,” Angie says.
“What does that have to do with anatomy?” Tabitha asks.
I raise my eyebrows. “Doesn’t everything a person does have to do with anatomy?”
I’m talking in circles. She’s going to think I’m high or something.
“I… I mean…” Tabitha takes a sip of coffee. “Never mind. I missed having lab yesterday. I hope everything is okay with you.”
“Why wouldn’t it be?” I ask.
“You canceled lab and all,” she says.
Right. I did. For my appointment with Louisa and Gita.
Good news. Hopeful news. Which I celebrated by fucking my student.
“Yes, everything is fine,” I say. “Something came up. An unforeseen appointment. But we’ll be back in lab next Thursday to begin cutting.”
“I wish we could have lab every day.” Tabitha grabs a spoon and absentmindedly stirs her coffee. “Not just Thursdays and Fridays.”
I’m not sure what to say to that. That’s when the lab is scheduled, Thursday and Friday mornings.
Angie, on the other hand, is looking a little green around the gills. “We’ll be cutting on Thursday?” she asks.
“Yes. I’m sorry we couldn’t start yesterday as planned.”
Tabitha is beaming. “I can’t wait.”
“And you, Angie?” I ask.
She blinks for a few seconds before responding. “I’m looking forward to learning.” She bows her head.
I know how she feels about cutting into cadavers. She’s made that very clear.
“No matter what kind of medicine you decide to practice, you’ll still be a medical doctor,” I say, “which means you need to learn anatomy in lab.”
“I know, I know,” Angie says. “I’ll be fine. I promise.”
I have no doubt she’ll be fine. Most of them are really looking forward to this, like Tabitha.
I finish my coffee quickly. Then I stand. “I should let you get back to your studies. Thank you for the coffee, Angie.”
“Of course. You’re welcome. Anytime.” She bites her lower lip. “Anything for…a neighbor.”
I nod as my cock responds to the glistening full lip she’s nibbling.
Then I leave.
