I was surprised when my wife called to say that she would be bringing home her new colleague. I knew that he was a major figure in her field -- more senior than she was. I also knew that she had been pleased with the attention that he had shown her since he had joined the department. There was a subtle difference to her when she spoke about -- something I couldn't quite fathom. Or perhaps didn't want to.
We rarely entertained at home -- usually meeting people at a restaurant or a bar and then returning when the evening was done. When my wife Janice and her colleague William arrived a bit after seven bringing food which they had picked up, I was mildly curious. It was Indian food and Janice served it to us. The fact that she deferred to William and served him first was natural because he was, of course, a guest.
The conversation was easy and casual but when we were done eating, William caught my wife's eye and she left the room for our bedroom. He then turned to me and said:
"Paul, Janice and I have come to an understanding. She is ambitious and I am going to help advance her career in every way that I can. This will, of course, be good for both of you -- just as you don't want my opposition, especially as neither of you has tenure."
"I can offer quite a bit of support -- I know people who can help you both. But my expectations are high and I am demanding. You must both follow my direction in all things. I will putting a lot of energy into your careers and we have to remove any barriers that may be between us. There also can be no question as to who is in total control."
"Do you understand me so far?"
I nodded, my throat dry and my heart starting to pound.
"Good. Now come here."
I did.
"Kneel down."
I did -- and as i did, I saw Janice appear, in a translucent neglige that I had never seen. And I could see she had shaved....
"Now you are going to unzip me and look in your wife's eyes as you take me in your mouth."
