Making the Grades

Professor William Taylor looks out at the empty lecture room. In less than an hour, this room will be filled with nearly 100 students embarking on a path toward diplomas in Psychology. This is Professor Taylor's fourth year teaching at the University and his second year teaching PSY 235: Introduction to Sexology.

In addition to teaching, he's been actively researching and writing his first scholarly work: a study on the history and psychology behind sexual blackmail. The book is his secret pet project. He's never been confident that the University would approve such a project, so plans to publish it anonymously.

During the last three years, Professor Taylor has been subtly testing blackmail on his students. For the first year, as he developed his thesis, the tests were mostly inoffensive and leaned closer to bribery. For example, he'd jokingly offer to increase a test score by a point or two every morning a certain student brought him a cup of coffee or a piece of fruit. He figured it was innocuous enough that if anyone complained he could easily tie it to what he was teaching in class about psychology.

In the second year, an opportunity fell into his lap when a desperate Tri Delta approached him toward the end of the semester. When she started the class she was one of his more bitchier students acting like she could get whatever she wanted. Partially out of annoyance toward the sorority girl Professor Taylor started manipulating her papers and tests so she'd score ever so slightly lower than she should. As a result, toward the end of the semester, she came to him sobbing confused as to why she wasn't doing well and desperate to get her final grade up. She started by offering to do extra credit, but he refused because he never offered extra credit. She upped the ante by offering to bring him coffee. He already had a student doing that, so he again said no adding "and for me to change your grade, that could cost me my job, sorry."

Feeling hopeless she blurted "one night a week I'll be your personal maid."

After a brief and thoughtful pause considering the ethics of the situation, he simply asked, "really?"

Clearly shocked at her own offer she stammered when she responded that she did indeed mean it but they couldn't tell anyone. She would be ashamed if any of her sorority sisters discovered she was a maid. He accepted and every Wednesday through the end of the semester she'd come to his condo, slide into a costume shop maid outfit, and clean his apartment. Making her wear the butt cheek revealing maid outfit was the most sexually charged thing he made her do. He wasn't quite ready to test how far a desperate co-ed was willing to go.

The third year of teaching, and his first year overseeing Psy 235: Intro to Sexology, was when he really start to test some of the limits of his students. Building off his success of slightly fudging the grades of a couple of students he soon found they were coming to him asking for assistance. Once again he started with bringing coffee, doing laundry, and being his personal maid. Halfway through the semester he pushed things a little farther with two of his students and ended up with a nice collection of compromising photos on his phone. And one student ended the year with the highest grade in class thanks to her willingness to perform a striptease in his office.

It was a successful year of experiments and now he was ready to begin. Thankfully, a number of his PSY 101 students had signed up for PSY 235 so he had a good sense of who would be an easy target for full sexual blackmail into submission. Sure enough, after three weeks of deflating grades, his first student came to see him.

Hello! Thank you for reading this story. I'm a fast and prolific writer, but I'm a mediocre editor. I like getting chapters up fast, so I occasionally overlook errors. If you see typos and they bother you please don't be shy about leaving a comment (if they don't bother you, carry on). I have thick skin. I'll go back and fix the mistakes because I want this writing to be tight for when future readers find it. Also, please do feel free to add chapters if you're so inclined. Blackmailing should be fun for everyone! Oh, and don't be shy about hitting that "like" button!
