Having just entered college, and at eighteen, Karter was living on her own for the first time and allowed her latent Sapphic tendencies to emerge unfettered. Many images and fantasies filled her young mind including a great deal centered around her roommate, Verity, but the ones that she visited most were of her Russian Government professor, Professor Falkov. One day during a pop quiz, and while her professor's attention was elsewhere.

Karter's mind started to wander and decided to check out Professor Falkov, her fantasies running wild. When Karter looked up and saw Professor Falkov glaring at the eighteen-year-old, over the top of the table. She sprang back upright and hunched over her test expecting all hell to break lose any second. When the quiz was finished and Karter placed her test on Professor Falkov's desk, who looked at her sternly and said, she would like to see Karter in her office at 4:00 PM.

She was more embarrassed and humiliated than Karter had ever felt in her life but not indignant because she knew the woman was justified in putting her through this. She just prayed Verity would find out. But instead of a lecture the professor smiled and told Karter there was going to be an understanding between them. Little knowing at the time that understanding would change her life forever.
