Scarlett spends a plan-free Saturday catching up on chores and coursework. Encouraged by her German instructor’s support and having finished readings and visualization exercises, she decides to reward herself by advancing her biology project. With Zach’s help, her student ID grants access to Dr. Smith’s quiet lab, where she heads to retrieve and prep images for their dataset.

She discovers Lukas already there, dressed casually and removed from the pool context. They effortlessly align on next steps (reorienting and resizing images), and banter about Pen’s view that Lukas is “overwhelming.” Lukas mentions cocaptains Kyle and Nate handling recent meetings. A photo prompts him to share about his three older brothers and their dynamics, then he explains his role in Olive Smith’s lab and his August interview at Stanford Med, underscoring his dislike of micromanagement. The talk shifts into a charged, mutual understanding of control—welcomed in some spaces, not others.

They embrace, and Scarlett asks to be told what to do, craving relief from decision-making. Lukas confirms consent and safeword readiness before directing her to her knees. He guides an unhurried, explicit blowjob—praising, instructing, and controlling depth and pace. Scarlett focuses on pleasing him and on relinquishing control; Lukas climaxes, and their closeness intensifies as he kisses her and holds her afterward.

Still aroused, Scarlett responds as Lukas begins to touch her, but he withholds her release, telling her she doesn’t want it “enough” yet—framing denial as part of their developing dynamic. He straightens her clothes, praises her, and shifts them back to work, reminding her of the dataset tasks. They leave the encounter with increased trust, a clarified D/s interplay, and a recommitment to their joint project.
