BRETT POWERS
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
“I can’t make it up, Richard.” I lean forward for my glass of scotch while he
throws back his head and laughs.
“I mean, when I saw my mom and the priest walking toward the
bathroom… Christ.” Shaking my head, I lean back in the leather chair.
My mentor stands and walks to his desk, retrieving a box of Cuban
cigars. “Well, I’m happy for Jett.” He hands me one and steps over to open
his French doors, which leads to his manicured backyard. Sunlight reflects
off the pool, and the giant inflatable pink flamingo in it slowly glides to the
edge.
“Diane is threatening to divorce me if I don’t open these doors when I
enjoy the last of my vices.” He chuckles, walking back to his chair as the air
conditioner clicks on.
“We can go outside.” I grin.
“Hell no, it’s too hot out.” He crosses his thin legs and reaches for the
cigar cutter to swiftly slice off the end of his cigar, then hands it to me.
“Brett.” He sighs, absently looking out the doors as the warm air from
the afternoon fills his office. “It’s no secret I’ve been tossing around the
idea of retiring…” He glances at me as I hesitate, knowing where this is
going but needing to hear it.
“I’m seventy-six years old.” He flicks on his black torch lighter and
slowly spins the end on the flame until it glows nice and orange before he
brings it to his lips and takes a small puff.
I lean back, stretching out my legs, waiting, letting him have this
moment. Richard used to be a heavy smoker. After having a mild heart
attack a couple of years ago, he’s switched his habit to expensive cigars.
Smoke swirls out of his mouth, and he takes another puff, then tosses me
the torch lighter.
“I’ve made my mark on the university. Gave up numerous things in my
life to achieve where I am, and now…” His brown eyes turn to me as he
points the cigar my way. “It’s your turn.”
I sit up and lean over to light the tip of my cigar. “I’m not going to lie
and say I don’t want it.” With a smile, I place the fragrant tip in my mouth
and take an easy puff, the earthy, citrusy taste swirling around as I let it
escape, and look at him.
“You do understand that what I’m about to do will make you the
youngest head dean in the school’s history?” He recrosses his legs.
“Yes.” My voice remains steady. This is what I have been working for,
and being the youngest dean in the university’s history, yeah, that makes my
cock hard.
“Jenners is going to cause a stink. He believes it should be his.
Convince me that he’s wrong.”
My eyes narrow, and the edges of my lips curve up. “I don’t have to
convince you, Richard. It’s pretty simple. I’m a genius. He’s not.”
Richard snorts. “You’re also arrogant and single.”
“Exactly. I have zero distractions because I’m married to my work.
