"Thanks for the advice, professor," Jamie said dryly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to get home."

Nick didn't move right away. He stood there a moment and let his eyes drift slowly up and down Jamie's body. She was so shocked, she couldn't speak. Then he turned and walked out of the room, leaving her blushing and confused. Men always had that affect on her, no matter what their age. They scared and puzzled her.

She knew what Nick had seen, a petite but curvy young woman in her mid-twenties with naturally copper-colored hair and a pretty face. He's right – she could have been very attractive if she'd tried. But up to this point in her life, she hadn't wanted to try.

Jamie Johnson was terribly afraid that if she looked attractive, some man might come on to her.

She drove home to her apartment building and checked the mailbox before heading upstairs. There was a large package for her in a plain brown wrapper, and she couldn't think what it was. She hurried to her apartment to open it. When she got the wrapping off, she was blushing and smiling at the same time.

Now she remembered. She'd ordered the book months ago. It was an illustrated manual of love-making techniques. Jamie was very curious about what men and women did in bed together, but she'd been too ashamed to buy such a book in a store, so she'd ordered it by mail.

The lonely young teacher forgot about making any dinner for herself. She couldn't wait to get to that book. She took a shower, then slipped on a robe, and settled down on the couch to read. The moment she opened the book, she turned brick red. It was a lot more explicit than she'd expected.

There was hardly any print, just big color pictures of couples doing everything imaginable to each other. An attractive young man, and woman were in each photograph, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun. In the first photo they were fucking in the traditional missionary position.
