The next four days were going to be brutal. Tom, a fellow graduate student, and I were on our way to yet another scientific meeting, where we would sit through endless hours of lectures, and interact with our colleagues, as well as present our own research. These meetings could be fun, but more often than not, they became grueling intellectual endurance contests that drained all the energy out of me.
Nevertheless, I was looking forward to this conference. Being a young Latin woman in a white man’s world, I embrace all opportunities to show my work and my worth. Besides, there’s always the possibility of meeting someone special and having some fun. This time though, there was a problem: our department was not doing too well money-wise, and Tom and I were asked to share a room at the hotel where the meeting was being held, instead of taking two separate rooms as usual. Tom and I have known each other for over four years, and we get along just fine, so I didn’t really mind. He’s one of the many kind-of-shy, kind-of-nerdy pale boys that abound in my class, who blushes whenever he hears anyone (specially a woman) talking about sex. To tell you the truth, I find that kind of cute, so I amuse myself making racy comments or jokes whenever he’s around, just for the fun of seeing him smile and lower his eyes, while he gets red all over.
On the 7-hour drive down to the conference, Tom and I talked about everything and got to know a lot about each other: he told me about his family history, his hometown, and how his ex-girlfriend broke his heart; I told him about my past relationships, about the fact that I had met many guys since I arrived to the U.S., but hadn’t fallen in love, and why I thought one should have as much fun as possible while looking for THE right one.
Along the trip, I noticed how he reacted to my words, and found it extremely arousing. Knowing that my mere words could have such an effect on this guy made me wonder what would happen if I took it a step further. So I made up my mind that I would seduce Tom and show him the best time of his life during the next four days. Since most white guys find my generous curves, long curly hair and “exotic” accent extremely sexy, I was confident that Tom would be happy to comply with my little plan, even if he was not aware of it. Damn, the idea of an obligatory four-day stay at a hotel was looking better and better by the minute!
