"You shouldn't fetishize Asian ladies, we are human beings, just like you, sir," Professor Marika Thanachat said firmly. The petite, curvaceous, bronze-skinned and dark-haired Thai lady gazed sternly at her student Suleiman Tilahun. Professor Marika Thanachat's words echoed in her neatly decorated office. In closed-door meetings such as these, the Professor Emeritus likes to let everyone know who's got the upper hand. There's an instinctive need to assume a position of power and advantage in all social situations, and powerhouses like Marika here most certainly adhere to that notion.
Suleiman Tilahun looked uncomfortable, to say the very least. The six-foot-tall, dark-skinned and bearded young Ethiopian Muslim man nodded understandingly. Marika grinned, pleased by Suleiman's demeanor. The brother came to spend a semester at the University of Bangkok in Bangkok, Thailand, as part of an exchange program with the University of Addis Ababa. African nations and their Asian counterparts are doing business nowadays, and education is certainly part of it. Thai people are renowned for their hospitality but they do not tolerate disrespect. Suleiman stepped on a lot of toes and had to be brought to heel.
"I apologize for my behavior," Suleiman said, sounding very contrite. Marika licked her lips and sighed. Everyone on the University of Bangkok campus knew that Suleiman had a thing for Vanessa Nguyen, a young Vietnamese woman who was also visiting from another school. The University of Bangkok has a lot of international students hailing from places like Europe, America, Africa and other Asian nations. For a while, Suleiman and Vanessa had a fling. When their tryst ended, she moved on but he didn't. Like a lot of guys the world over, Suleiman cannot stop thinking about the girl who got away.
"Suleiman, you know, obsessing over Vanessa Nguyen won't bring her back, you are going about this the wrong way," Marika said with a slick grin. Suleiman nodded, then blinked in surprise as Marika totally got into his personal space. The professor of Humanities has a reputation as being somewhat unorthodox, to say the least. Suleiman kept his cool even though he was very nervous. At the University of Addis Ababa back in Ethiopia, Suleiman had been top dog. In the City of Bangkok, Thailand, the Ethiopian stud was a fish out of water.
"Duly noted," Suleiman replied, wondering what Professor Marika Thanachat was getting at. Marika drew closer to Suleiman, until he could smell her perfume, and a lot of other things that a fella has to be awfully close to a lady in order to detect. Marika's brown eyes locked onto Suleiman's, and suddenly he realized what poor jungle mammals must feel in the presence of a python. Marika licked her lips, and pressed her body against Suleiman's. If a guy ever did something like that to a female colleague, it would be harassment. Women, on the other hand, get away with shit like that. It just wasn't fair.
"Vanessa Nguyen is nineteen years old, Suleiman, she's a brat, you're twenty-one, a young man of fine intellect, you need a real woman," Marika said, sighing for emphasis. Suleiman froze, wondering how to extricate himself from the situation. Marika rubbed her hand against Suleiman's crotch, and in spite of himself, he grew hard. Marika smiled satisfactorily. In her four decades of existence, Marika has always been a beauty. Most of the male scholars and instructors on campus were wrapped around her finger. Nice to know she's still got the touch with younger men as well.
