Wheatleigh's Golden Goose

Georgia St. Claire

Description

Dr. Audrey Worthington has had remarkable success as a scholar, garnering several degrees and awards at an early age. However, her notable success in learning has been surpassed by her even more memorable failure at teaching. She seems to be completely unable to assign grades to her students’ efforts, and has been ignobly fired from three different teaching positions, each of them midyear. She knows that she is never going to find another teaching position again.

Dr. Thornton Hamilton, ‘Rich’ to his friends, has his life exactly where he wants it to be. He is the head of the History Department at Wheatleigh College, following in his grandfather’s shoes. He and his best friend Marcus offer an exclusive spanking service to the general community and he has his psychological battle with the college president to keep his wits sharp. Yes, life is good, even though it is a little lonely from a romantic aspect and prospects are limited in the rather secluded location in northern New England.

But Audrey and Rich suddenly have their worlds re-ordered when an anonymous benefactor offers Wheatleigh College an extremely generous donation if it will provide Audrey with a teaching position for a year, and a huge endowment if it keeps her on for five years. Simultaneously, a professor suddenly leaves the History Department, leaving a tailor-made teaching slot for her to step into. The college president, determined to have that endowment as the crowning achievement to his presidency, orders Rich to take Audrey in hand and make certain that she succeeds no matter what it takes.

Audrey doesn’t like to be part of conflict and tends to be naturally submissive. But she has recently had a two year abusive relationship end and she is determined to never let herself be in that sort of situation again. How will she respond to the Dom who is her boss and has every intention of making her overcome her professional shortcomings?

Audrey stared out the window as she tuned out the speechbeing spouted by the man sitting across from her, behind the enormous mahoganydesk with all the brass and marble accessories. Why was she here? She did notwant to go through this again; so why was she starting down another path leadingto another failure? The answer was simple, family. In an unprecedented displayof concern, not for her but rather the family reputation, the family had unitedto prevent the possibility that a Worthington might be considered less thanstellar at their chosen occupation. They had insisted that she accept this job,one that she hadn’t even applied for, and stay with it. When she had heard whathad motivated the college to seek her out to make her a professor, without evenknowing the details, she knew that there had been some serious money put on thetable. Discreetly, anonymously, her family had bought her this job and made itclear that this time there had better be a different outcome from her previousteaching experiences.
“Dr. Worthington, we seem to have lost your attention.”
“Call me Audrey, please,” she murmured and brought her eyesup to meet the irritated glare of the college president, Cecil Boxford. Shesighed and sat up straight. “I’m sorry. I hadn’t expected to be teaching thisyear. I’m just a bit overwhelmed with how fast everything has happened.” Shemade an effort to bring up her practiced smile, the one that she had worked onuntil it was second nature. “I am very honored to be joining the faculty hereand I will do my best to give the students a first rate education in history.”
Boxford’s eyes narrowed as he stared her down. “Failure isnot an option, Dr. Worthington. This institution will receive a very sizabledonation if you complete the full year teaching here and an endowment larger thanthe current top three endowments combined if you retain your position for fiveyears. Someone wants you to have this job and has made sure that we aresignificantly motivated to keep you on. Dr. Hamilton has done some researchinto the reasons behind your dismissals at your previous positions and will seeto it that history does not repeat itself.” He gave a humorless smirk at hiswittiness. He shot his index finger out to emphasize his point; “Wheatleighbelieves in giving our scholars value for their tuition and has a policy ofgiving immediate feedback on their progress. All work is returned, graded,within forty-eight hours of being submitted. That will continue; the HistoryDepartment will not be exempted. ”
Audrey gasped and shook her head in denial; this was the cruxof her problem with her previous teaching positions. She seemed to beconstitutionally unable to attach grades to her pupils’ efforts. She got losttrying to understand the hows and whys of their answers and tended to want towrite comments to engage in discussions with them rather than assign a grade.When confronted with the avalanche of term papers and final exam essayquestions at the end of a semester, she floundered; and her previous employershad been very disgruntled when grades were due and she had more than half ofher work unfinished. Each time, once the mess was sorted out, she had not beeninvited to continue teaching for the second semester. This pattern had repeatedat all three positions she had held since obtaining her doctorate.
Boxford nodded at her reaction. “Yes, we know that this hasbeen your problem. By all accounts you are an excellent lecturer; your studentshave enjoyed attending your classes. As head of the History Department, Dr.Hamilton has orders to do whatever he has to do to ensure that you comply withWheatleigh’s policy of promptness. We have made sure that he has somesignificant motivation as well.”
His voice took on a conciliatory tone as he changed tacticsand tried to come across as a stern but loving fatherly figure. “Your academiccareer has been very impressive, Audrey. You have gathered so many honors andaccolades at such a young age, a remarkable accumulation of degrees. It’s clearthat you are just having some trouble making the transition from student toteacher. We at Wheatleigh will help you with this. Dr. Hamilton, Thornton, willmentor you every step of the way until you are settled into our little familyroutines. I’m sure that you will be happy here; along with a very respectablesalary and benefits package, you have very few duties outside of your teachingschedule and something that almost no other private college can offer, weprovide housing. I look forward to a long and successful collaboration ofeducating the next generation.”
He stood up and came around his desk to take her hand andclasp it between his two, actually patting it. “It was a shock when Dr.Chambers departed so suddenly and we are very aware how difficult it is to stepinto a teaching position after the semester has already begun. We reallyappreciate that you were able to get here with such short notice. I’m sure it’sbeen an extremely tiring weekend for you, so I will let you get on your way soyou can settle in and prepare for classes tomorrow. Thornton, make sure thatshe feels right at home. We want our newest faculty member to know just howhappy we are to have her join us.” He turned towards the other man, “I expectto be kept well informed on how things are going.”
“Yes, sir,” Thornton responded as he straightened up fromwhere he had been leaning against the corner of a bookcase. In a typical showof power, Boxford had not invited him to sit during the meeting. He moved toopen the door and stood aside to allow Audrey to pass through first. “I imagineSecurity has already put your things in your rooms. It’s a very comfortable andconvenient set-up; I’m sure you’ll soon feel right at home.” Once he had closedthe door to the office behind them, he placed his hand lightly on her back andguided her out of the president’s house.
“With your extensive academic experience you must feel prettycomfortable on a college campus. Ours is fairly typical for a privateinstitution this size. The more traditional departments are housed in thebuildings around this quad, with the dorms forming an outer ring behind them;the library, gym, auditorium and dining hall are situated at the outsidecorners. The newer science labs are housed on the Felton Campus, which is onauxiliary land about two blocks away.” He pointed out the various buildings asthey walked across the park-like grassy space where clusters of students wereengaged in playing Frisbee or studying textbooks.
Once they had travelled at least half the distance towardsthe building he had pointed out as the home of the History Department, heleaned over to speak quietly in her ear. “So is everything okay with JohnChambers?”
Audrey stopped abruptly, “What?”
His hand on her back urged her to resume walking, “I don’twant anyone to realize that we are talking about this. I just figured thatsince someone wanted you to have this job, John needed to go to create a spacefor you. He left without talking to me and hasn’t been in touch. I’m hopingthat whomever is throwing all this money around made it lucrative for him toabandon his job like that. He’ll need a good story to explain his actions tofuture employers. He’s a good man, please tell me that he wasn’t threatened orharmed.”
“Oh, dear!” She tried to stop again and discovered just howfirmly his hand on her back was guiding her.
“Keep walking and talk to me.”
“I’m sorry, Thornton, I’m not in the loop on this. I was toldthat this job had opened up and I was expected to uphold the family reputationand not
