Author's note
I was, and still am, quite confused whether this story belongs here or in non-consent. I have, however, decided to post it under Erotic Coupling based on the overall tone of the story. I hope I made the right decision.
The little bit of non-consent that is in the story is nothing too rough. But if that's definitely not your thing thenβ¦
The story also has a bit of a slow build-up, where the atmosphere is set in the first part. But it definitely builds up to a lot of sex as the story progresses, so I hope you will read it till the end.
This is only my second story and I would love to get feedback on what I am doing right and what I need to work on, so if you like it, love it or hate it, do drop a line.
*All the characters in the story are 18 years of age or above.*
________________
Lisa set the model she was carrying on the table and took a couple of steps back to admire it. She compared it to the models kept on either side of it and permitted herself a little smug smile. It looked better, at least, than the two right beside it.
Her team had been working on the project for over a week now. In fact, Lisa with a lot of persuasion had got permission to stay late and deliver their model herself to the lab. The professor had given her the keys in the strictest confidence and she felt a flicker of pride as she locked the lab doors and pocketed the keys.
She stepped out into the corridor to see the clouds gather and start to drizzle.
She thought to herself, 'If I hurry, I might just make it home before it starts pouring heavily.' Lisa didn't like getting wet.
But as she stepped into the rain, her resolve wavered. It's not the rain she objected to, but the sticky, wet feeling you had to put up with till you changed out of the wet clothes and dried yourself.
'But,' she thought, 'I am going to go straight home, which is hardly a 15 minute walk from the school.'
So she indulged herself. She walked as slow as possible to the next building, and by the time she reached her empty classroom, her t-shirt and skirt were damp and stuck to her body, curving across her breasts and ass. Lisa tugged at the skirt self-consciously and quickly stuffed all her things into her bag.
She turned towards the door to leave and stopped.
There was someone already standing at the door. Lisa's heart started pounding as she stood and looked at him, hoping that her face would not reflect what she felt at seeing him there. Alone.
It couldn't really be Jack standing there and looking at her like that? Could it?
Lisa blinked a couple of times to check if he was real.

Lisa had an inherent respect for rules. She understood them and therefore she could work with them. She knew the hidden rules and codes of a high school and understood the perks if you worked within the system. She put in the work and did what she had to do. Her planning had been meticulous and now in her senior year, she had everything.
Her grades were exactly what they should be to get her into an Ivy League school. She was a dancer and had enough extra-curricular activities on her resume to impress anyone. She had enough friends to have an active social life. And to top it all off, she had the perfect boyfriend. Star Quarterback in the school's football team, Jeremy was the dream of almost every girl in school. Tall, handsome, smart, funny, caring; he was the ideal boyfriend.
Lisa's high school life was perfect except for one little thing.
Jack.
The first time Lisa saw him was when she was walking to the water fountain. She bent over to get a drink when she got a peculiar feeling at the back of her neck, a feeling that someone was looking at her. She turned to see him standing near a locker a few feet away from her, staring at her.
She looked at him and took in his scuffed shirt, frayed jeans and shoes that cried for a polish, her eyes slowly rose to meet his to sneer at him and she was taken aback at the intensity of his gaze.
When he saw her turn, he lifted his gaze up to meet hers and Lisa was surprised by the raw desire she saw in his eyes when they locked on hers. It hit her like a bolt of lightning and she felt as if every nerve end of her body was on fire. She felt heat rise up to her face but was unable to break away from his gaze.
"Jack!" She heard a female voice scream over the noise of the crowd, shattering the moment and Lisa saw him turn. He looked at the girl who had screamed his name and smiled at her, quickly changing his expression.
The girl walked up to him and put his hand around his waist and said something. He smiled and started walking away with her.
Lisa kept following them with her eyes, but he never turned to look at her again.
She later found out by very careful and guarded questioning that the girl's name was Mindy. She was Jack's girlfriend. Both of them were seniors too, but did not participate much in the school activities. Not surprisingly, no one in her circle seemed to know much about them.
Lisa was careful in keeping her questioning to a minimum to keep any curiosity from arising in anyone's mind. She didn't want anyone, not even Jeremy, especially not Jeremy, to find out about this incident. She had worked very hard at creating this life for her. She wasn't going to let something this small jeopardize everything.
But she was surprised to note that she disliked Mindy.
Lisa didn't believe in wasting time in liking and disliking people. According to her, there were people who mattered and people who didn't. You keep people who matter to you close and disregard people who don't.
Lisa was afraid to ask herself why Mindy mattered. She was afraid of finding out.
This disturbed her. But she was careful enough to not let anyone find out about this.
After that incident, she seemed to run into Jack a lot more often. He never came up to her to say anything, never acknowledged her presence with any sign but just looked at her in a way that was highly intrusive. It always sent a thrill of fear and excitement down her spine.
She found herself thinking of him as she dressed for school in the mornings. And when he looked at her, whatever she wore, seemed to feel shorter, tighter and more revealing than what was in the morning when she had picked out her outfit.
When she thought maybe she ought to feel guilty about what was happening, she told herself it was nothing.
Technically, it was just another guy looking at her.
______________
Blinking didn't help. He was still there at the end of it.
Lisa just stood there, caught in his stare, unable to move.
She saw his gaze flicker down to her chest and she looked down at herself. Her nipples were hard and were showing through the wet T-shirt sticking to her body.
