― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I've never had a man influence my emotions like this and it kind of scares me – but it also excites me beyond words.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I pull Violet's dress up to her waist, revealing her untouched vagina. For a quick moment, I admire it. That and wonder how the fuck it's managed to go twenty-two years without being penetrated.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I want you inside me,” I say. “Lemme see that legendary cock of yours.” “Legendary?” he asks. “You wrote the book on sex. I'm sure you did a lot of 'research' for the book.” “I'm not going to lie: I'm experienced. And you're gonna benefit from my experience cause I'm gonna use every single trick that I've learned to blow your fucking mind.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“There's something to be said for women's intuition. They are in touch with certain emotional cues that most guys are oblivious to.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“When I'm around her, my feelings take over. I can't ignore the spark I feel when I'm around Violet. It's been such a long time since I've felt anything for anyone that I can't bring myself to walk away from it.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“We're introverts. People like you and I are more inwardly focused and comfortable with ourselves. I consider it a gift. Most people go nuts if they're left alone for more than a little while. As introverts, we're okay being by ourselves for long periods of time. We prefer it, usually.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I've always been a sapiosexual. Though I only learned that term recently – meaning to be sexually attracted to intelligence – I've always felt that way.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Most men don't know how to fully satisfy a woman – romantically or sexually. That's why romance novels are so popular.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I'm surprised to see you here on a Saturday night. Shouldn't you be out with your boyfriend or getting trashed at a party or something?” “You're the psych professor. Shouldn't you be able to deduce from the fact that I'm here alone on a Saturday night buying a trashy romance novel that I don't have a boyfriend?”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Imagine if I just dropped dead, right here in the middle of the aisle? My tombstone would read, Violet Anderson. Died from embarrassment as a virgin at the young age of twenty-two. Not exactly the way I want to go out.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I think that's part of the reason why I'm generally only attracted to older men. Not only are they more mature, they have real interests and opinions. Guys around my age only want to talk about sports, video games, and other stuff I don't care about. I want a man who challenges me intellectually. A man who makes me think, makes me question my assumptions. A man of substance. A man like Professor Fitzgerald.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I watch Violet walk out of my classroom. Her walk is elegant, yet sexy. Actually, almost everything about Violet is both elegant and sexy. She's wise well beyond her years, yet somehow still innocent in all the right ways. Physically beautiful, yet modest in her appearance. Incredibly bright, yet so young and inexperienced. I find Violet to be stunningly prepossessing and I don't know what to make of it. All I know is that I really need to be careful around this girl.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I hold myself to a higher standard. I've never done anything inappropriate with a student. Have I been tempted? Have I had plenty of opportunities? Absolutely. But I've always been able to control myself. That's why being around Violet concerns me. I'm already having trouble controlling myself around her and it's only the first week of the semester.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“I love women like Chanel. She's really hot, no doubt. I don't think a single guy – or girl for that matter – in this class would argue otherwise. Her look is sexually provocative, leaving little to the imagination. And Chanel knows how to move, how to use her voice seductively. She's the type of girl that most guys fantasize about. But I don't love women like her because of any of those things. I love them because the second they open their mouths, my dick goes soft and I lose interest immediately. To put it simply: the girl's a bitch. There's no bigger turn of for a guy like me. And that's why I love girls like Chanel: Because no matter how hard they may try, their bitchiness always comes out sooner rather than later. And that removes any temptation, present or future, to even think about doing anything inappropriate with her.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“The first day of class, I asked a question and every single student raised their hand – except one. Other professors probably wouldn't have even noticed young Violet sitting there, doing everything she could to avoid being called on. But I noticed. That's what separates me from other professors, from other men – I notice the things that they don't. It's all about attention to detail. That's why I'm a good psychologist, a good professor, a good writer, and a great lover.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“All psych majors have a little crazy in them – some more than a little. Whether it's a touch of social anxiety or a full-blown personality disorder, no one gets into psychology without having at least a little dysfunction in their life. I like to have fun with it. Not in a malevolent way. No, in a fun, playful sort of way.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Kristen turns to me and sticks out her tongue. I half-lunge at her with an over-exaggerated bite, as if to remove it from her goofy face. “You bitch! You just bit off my tongue!” I pretend to spit it out and reply, “Gross! It tastes like underage cock!” “I'll have you know that Jeff's cock is perfectly legal.” “Yeah... Now it is!” We both laugh. I love joking around with Kristen. She likes her boys young – the exact opposite of me. While she gets turned on by innocence and immaturity, I find age and experience to be much more attractive. Though I've never been with one, I think older men are where it's at.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“It doesn't even take sixty seconds before my body gets warm, my toes curl, and I erupt into one of the quickest orgasms I've ever had. I wonder what the female equivalent of a two-pump chump would be. I guess you could say I'm a two-flick chick!”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“She reminds me of someone I once knew: someone I once cared very deeply for. It's not an uncanny resemblance, but it's there. Both of them possess a rare type of beauty that goes unnoticed by most men. If you passed Violet on the street, you wouldn't think twice about her. But if you stood there and looked at her for a minute, just maybe you'd slowly start to see it.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“You don't have to be a psychologist to tell that Violet has a high level of social anxiety. Her voice is a bit shaky – but it's cute. It's not the only cute thing about Violet, though. She's stunningly prepossessing, but in a very subtle kind of way. Most guys probably see her as a prudish, withdrawn young woman with little interest in the opposite sex. I'm not so sure, though. My research has taught me that the quiet, intellectual types are usually the ones with the dirtiest minds.”
― M.L. Sapphire, The Professor

“Yes,” the professor says. “You.” “I didn't have my hand raised,” I say. “I know. That's why I picked you. You were the only one who didn't have their hand raised. That's interesting to me. Some of your peers were practically jumping out of their seats trying to get my attention. It's been my experience that, if a student doesn't raise their hand, it's not because they don't have something to contribute – it's because they're either shy or uninterested. I doubt it's the latter, otherwise you wouldn't be here. So, I'm going to assume that you're a bit shy – and there's nothing wrong with that. Shy students are often the brightest but need a little extra push to open up.”
