Chapter 14: My Professor is the Hottest Actress?
Throughout the subsequent days, MJ began preparing for her new role as a guest lecturer at the prestigious institute where Peter taught. As her schedule allowed, she occasionally joined Peter during his classes as well, observing him teach with admiration. One evening, sitting beside him on the front steps of their home, she mentioned her decision to become a teacher, explaining the implications of having her doctorate degree in biology.
Peter, supportive as always, smiled proudly at her announcement.
"That's great news, my dear! I believe you'd make an excellent instructor. And think of all the extra time we can spend together..."
He placed a tender kiss on her forehead, eliciting an amused giggle from MJ. "Well, don't expect too much time, Mr. Professor," she jested lightly. "But seriously, thank you for your encouragement. Maybe teaching might actually satisfy my suppressed desires to help people learn without giving up acting entirely."
Inside, MJ acknowledged the irony.
Here she was, playing the perfect housewife and mother during the day while living a double life as a liberated woman outside the walls of her home. Apart from Peter, she maintained a string of anonymous encounters to quench her cravings for physical release. Yet, none quite compared to the thrill of having control over the minds of young adults who worshipped her on screen.
After class, MJ invited the entire study group back to their home for dinner, including Peter.
