Chapter One
"And now, Ms. Tarrington,
to sum up," the moderator said.
Miranda stood up smoothly
and faced her opponent. Out of long habit, her fingers brushed the soft blonde
hair out of her eyes, and in passing, nudged her thin, frameless glasses as she
frowned across the room.
"My opponent states that a
man who believes in creationism has no place running a school," she said. "He
strongly implies that people who believe in creationism are akin to
sub-literate cretins, cavemen carrying clubs to whom science itself is nothing
more than an irritating contradiction to their beliefs.
"But he appears to forget
that the bible itself is predicated upon the belief that the universe was
created by God, thus making all practicing Christians incapable of
understanding or espousing science," she said. "Furthermore, other major belief
systems also believe in God as the creator, including Muslims, Hindus and
Sikhs. My opponent is labeling all of them as unfit to run a university or any other
place of higher learning. I remind my opponent that most of the great
scientists of history were men of faith. Sir Isaac Newton postulated the theory
of gravity despite being an intensely religious man, and even Darwin did not
question the essence of biblical teaching.
"Yes, there are
contradictions, but our understanding of the world is imperfect. Life is filled
with contradictions. I think that our proper position ought to be to put aside
judgment until and unless the new chancellor actually does or says something
which gives meaning to my opponent's doubts about his abilities. Otherwise we
get into the slippery role of judging people's abilities based on their
religious beliefs - or lack thereof, and that is not what we, as a people, are
all about."
The moderator rang his
little bell and Miranda instinctively reached up, brushing aside her hair
again, before going over to shake hands with John Steward - the idiot, and
pretending he wasn't an idiot, then speaking with the moderator before
gathering up her notes.
Few of the members of the
debating club were women, and fewer still were freshmen, and she knew she was
watched and judged more closely than the others, not merely because of her sex
but because of her mother, who was a fairly well known journalist, and feminist
writer. She, of course, hoped to one day be the same, and was very careful
about the image she presented to the world, and how it saw her.
She was wearing a somewhat
mannish blazer and trousers, for example. They were well cut and she thought
she looked quite - good - in them. The brilliant dark blue silk blouse softened
the masculine nature of the outfit, especially with her hair spilling across
the shoulders.
Her hair was her main
vanity. She knew she ought to cut it. But then again, it detracted from the
clichéd image others might have of her as some kind of mannish lesbian feminist
man-hater. She was supposed to wear boots and have short hair and an attitude.
Many of the more conservative students seemed to believe that was typical for
feminists.
Miranda's hair was well
below her shoulders, thick and full and golden, framing a slender face with
large blue eyes and high cheekbones, full lips a small, softly tapered nose,
and a delicate chin. She knew she was beautiful, and that was both a source of
pride - though she told herself it should not be and tried not to be proud of
it - and a source of irritation. The world did not see pretty blondes as
intelligent, but as sex objects.
Miranda worked hard not to
be seen as a sex object. The glasses were one small way. She could have had
laser surgery, or used contacts. But her vision problem wasn't very bad,
really, and she thought the thin glasses made her look intelligent and
intellectual. She also, since a humiliating incident in high school, tried to
wear something, like her current blazer, which covered her bottom.
That incident had been when
she'd discovered a picture of herself on an unofficial school web site - taken
from behind - leaning over a desk at school, with similar pictures of other
girls, and the notation she had been voted as having the best ass in school.
Miranda was a studious
young woman, quite earnest about her determination to succeed in life and be
respected for her intelligence and abilities. The very last thing she wanted
was people admiring her for her looks, especially for something as sexist and
sexual as the shape of her ass.
Similarly, while she was
not a large breasted girl, not one known as busty, she had developed a full,
rounded, firm chest which would, in the proper outfit, draw quite interested
and appreciative eyes. She therefore ensured she was never seen in such
outfits, and while other girls wore push-up bras, she wore minimizer bras, so
as to flatten her breasts somewhat and make them less noticeable.
It wasn't that she wasn't
happy with her body or her looks; quite the contrary, in fact. There were times
she took pride in her appearance, though it made her feel almost immediately
guilty. After all, she had been raised as the daughter of an arch-feminist, and
what young woman would want to be thought of as some kind of nymphet or sex
kitten?
She strode up the hall and
then down a cross-corridor headed for her locker, glancing at her watch as she
moved. Her back was straight, her stride quick and steady. She was a tall young
woman, slender and graceful in the way she moved, but almost masculine in her
determination. She dropped off her books, got a few more for studying over the
March break, and then headed out to the parking lot.

Michelle gasped as Carol's
hand came cracking down on her bare bottom. She cried out weakly, moaning as
the woman adjusted the dildo driven deep into her pussy, grinding it sensuously
around inside her belly, flicking her fingers lightly across Michelle's swollen
clit to produce another crackling burst of pleasure.
"Nasty little girl," Carol
purred, her hands running smoothly over Michelle's prone body as the other
woman lay, gasping, panting and moaning across her lap.
Michelle was naked, her
wrists bound together and lifted high between her shoulder blades, the rope
going around her shoulders, around her chest, and encircling her breasts so
they were squeezed out taut and hard. Her nipples tingled and throbbed where
they were jammed against the sofa next to where Carol sat, and she moaned
helplessly as the other woman slid a hand underneath to give her taut, swollen
breasts another delicious squeeze.
"Nasty little slut," Carol
said, slapping her bottom again, and again, and again.
The blows stung, and Michelle
yelped and moaned, then shuddered as Carol slapped lightly and repeatedly
against the base of the dildo stuffed deep into her anus. The nose of the dildo
jarred against the back wall of her ass and made her grunt repeatedly.
"Are you going to be a
good, obedient little bitch?" Carol demanded.
"Y-Yes, Carol!" Michelle
moaned helplessly.
Carol's fingers stroked
across her clit and Michelle shuddered, her bottom grinding back frantically as
the heat threatened to overwhelm her.
"Oh no, slut, you don't get
to come yet," Carol purred.
She slapped her bottom
sharply several more times, a dozen times, the stinging slaps making Michelle
cry out repeatedly, almost bringing tears to her eyes as the pain mounted.
Then she shifted her off
her lap, pulling on her blonde hair, forcing her head up and back.
"On your knees, slut," she
purred.
She helped the bound woman
down onto her knees on the thick Persian rug, spread her own legs, and guided
Michelle's mouth onto her sex.
Michelle licked hungrily,
passionately, moaning and slurping and sucking expertly as the woman combed her
fingers through her hair, pinched and tugged on her nipples, kneaded her
breasts, and slapped lightly on the dildo sticking out of her ass.
Her mouth and cheeks were
soon moist with her lover's juices as Carol began to pant and groan herself,
jamming her face in harder and grinding up against her.
She rolled and corkscrewed
her bottom excitedly, then as her heat became almost unbearable, she drew her
left foot up, easing her bottom down, jamming her heel against the base of the
dildo there and rhythmically jamming herself back.
Carol cried out softly as
she came, then, gasping, yanked back roughly on Michelle's hair so the other
woman cried out. She bent her head up and back, forcing her to arch her back,
and slapped at one taut breast lightly but stingingly.
"Do you want to come, slut?
Do you?"
"Yes, Carol!"
"Beg for it, slut."
"Please make me come,
Carol!" she half sobbed.
Carol chuckled, her hand
still gripping the blonde woman's hair, her other hand sliding down between her
legs. She hooked a finger under the base of the dildo, jamming it up as her
thumb stroked furiously across Michelle's clit. Michelle shuddered and then
began to cry out repeatedly, twisting and jerking, thrashing desperately as the
heat and passion mounted to unbearable levels. Her climax tore through her, and
she sobbed helplessly, gurgling and moaning and twisting in passion until the
orgasm slowly, slowly faded.
