—Señor instructor, ¿qué es eso duro que siento ahí abajo? En la escuela de manejo, dentro del Instituto de Artes de San Pedro, estaba dándole clases a una alumna de primer año bastante atractiva. Nunca me imaginé que esa chica, que a primera vista parecía ingenua, vendría vestida de manera tan provocativa e insistiría en sentarse sobre mis piernas para que le enseñara a manejar “mano a mano”. Durante todo el trayecto, tuve que resistir mis impulsos y concentrarme en enseñarle bien, ignorando a propósito cómo se frotaba contra mí, a veces sin querer y otras no tanto. Pero quién iba a decir que soltaría el embrague demasiado rápido. El motor se apagó y dio una sacudida. Ella cayó de sentón entre mis piernas. El impacto se sintió en su zona más íntima. Y lo único que traía puesto era una faldita corta y ropa interior de tela muy delgada.
